Discover Why Burke Mansion Is Your Ultimate Summer Escape in Macon

 

Welcome to Burke Mansion and Happy Independence Day!  We had such a lovely evening at our inaugural Stars and Sips at Burke Mansion on July 6th, a curated evening of antiques, music, libations & liberty. We enjoyed hosting special guests for an intimate soiree where the elegance of our Victorian venue meets the spirit of American freedom. 

As summer 2025 unfolds, there’s no better time to stay with us and immerse yourself in Macon’s vibrant culture—from music and film to history and hands-on hospitality. Read on to see why our historic B&B is the perfect launchpad for your summer adventures.
