I stayed at the Beacon’s Nest for about 3 weeks, with my family coming in and out. It is a comfortable spot, perfectly sized for up to 4 people. It’s just minutes from downtown Valdosta with shops and restaurants.I have no complaints about the property at all as it served us well.

Everything was fantastic. Trains are a little shocking if you’re not prepared.
