About this property

Cast Iron Key Inn: Farm-to-Table Bed & Breakfast

Get away from it all without going TOO far away. Located just outside the town of Commerce, convenient to Athens and UGA, as well as many things to do in NE Georgia. We are a FARM with many animals - a day on the farm soothes the soul. Come enjoy our pastural setting.

Please visit our website castironkey.com or our Facebook or Instagram pages @castironkey for more in depth information. We love to make your stay fit you to your delight, so if you have any special requests or customizations, please let us know, we are happy to accommodate your needs whenever possible!

We offer a variety of amenities to make your stay with us a true getaway with nothing to worry about. Our Birds & Bees Suite is a generously sized upstairs bedroom with excellent views of the farm that includes private bathroom with quaint farmhouse shower, a superbly comfortable queen bed, free Wifi, 40 inch television, microwave, small fridge, and desk perfect for working remotely. We also have a roll away bed that can be included, suitable for children 8 years old and up. There is also an oversize stuffed chair in the room which could be used as a place to sleep in a pinch.

We are a favorite for animal and nature lovers! Staying with us also grants you time with our animals if you wish to interact with them - goats, chickens, donkeys, dogs, cats, parrots, rabbits, turkeys, and emus! You are welcome to enjoy the grounds, such as the porch with rocking chairs to watch the sunset, the patio to watch the sun rise as the songbirds sing, the firepit for some smores and stories after dark, as well as the common areas inside, like the living room, which holds our games cabinet full of board games and puzzles and our dining room that is furnished with a dining room set that is nearly 100 years old that has been in our family for 50 years.

Every night stay includes a home cooked farm-to-table locally sourced breakfast for each person who stays with us. We use eggs from our own happy chickens and the produce from our property first, then get as much as we can from other local farms if we don't produce it ourselves. Additional meals (such as home cooked dinners) may be arranged and purchased separately if you are interested. Just ask us, preferably prior to your arrival.

Thank you for considering us! If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to inquire, we are happy to help!

All the best,

Christina & Johnny

Cozy Farmhouse

We were so lucky to find the Cast Iron Key Inn! Christina and johnny are fabulous hosts, and made our stay very comfortable, fun and delicious! The place was exactly as described, and we really enjoyed seeing all their happy animals. This is definitely a great place for people who love animals! We will gladly return in the future :)

Wonderful! Christina and John are the best

A wonderful stay at a cozy farm house. Christina and John make you feel so welcome and really enjoy meeting and hosting people. The animals were all friendly and the breakfast each morning delicious. We wondered if it would feel private enough as we usually stay at private a-bnbs or hotels, but it never felt weird. Bed super comfortable, bathroom connected to your room for privacy. The room is well appointed with microwave, fridge, coffee maker, plates, cups, and utensils. Especially if you're an animal lover - I highly recommend it. Ty for the great stay!

Home away from home, a must stay! Skip the hotel.

Great experience to be on a quiet farm with access to a variety of animals. The one room they rent was great and had more amenities than an average hotel. Everything was thought of and then some. Ie. Charging cables. Had breakfast both mornings with food allergies accomodated. Food was fresh and delicious. Hosts were friendly p. Great people. Engaged with us as much as we wanted. Will stay again soon. Highly recommended.

Nice small Farm

We stayed 3 nights as we attended a wedding across the road at the White Fox Cottage. The host and her husband were wonderful , with this being our first stay at a B&B we were not sure what to expect, they made us feel so welcomed and were so accommodating! The breakfasts were absolutely delicious! They are more than willing to share their knowledge of the animals. All and all it was a very nice stay!

The family, Gerard and Annette were delightful and I enjoyed talking to them. I explored the property and enjoyed talking to the horses. The location was convenient to gas, food and the interstate. I will stay there again if the need arises and I’m in the area.

A very enjoyable stay!

We had a wonderful time at this B&B. The hosts, Christina and Johnnie went above and beyond to make our experience top notch. They are such lovely, kind people. It's not you regular B&B - this one caters to all your needs and wants and makes your stay truly unique! Everything was perfect. We felt very welcome, received with warmth and hospitality. We felt like we made new friends indeed and will be happy to stay there again and to recommend to friends. A world of thanks! This trip was good for a soul and an inspiration :)

Christina & Johnny are wonderful hosts and I loved meeting the animals and learning about them. Going out each morning to say hello to them was a great way to start the day! I tried three of the different breakfast options and they were all delicious. I enjoyed my stay here very much and will keep in touch when I am back in the area.

Nice country getaway with lots of animals

Great host couple and setting at this nice centrally located small farm. The host couple, Christina and Johnny, were very accommodating to our needs and the accommodations were very comfortable. The farmhouse was tastefully decorated with lots of interesting and unique features. The six-year-old with us loved interacting with the multitude of animals at this small farm setting -- dogs, cats, chickens, rabbits, donkeys, goats and emus. A very fun weekend.

Nice little b&b

The best thing about our stay was the breakfast. It was sooo good! The bed was comfy, the owners are nice, and its a pet lovers dream. Im not as big of a pet lover as my daughter(shes the reason we stayed), so the pet hair was a bit of an issue for me since it was everywhere. Other than that it seemed clean and was a nice stay.

Great stay at the farm

My husband and I stayed at the farm while attending a family reunion nearby. Christina and her husband were so friendly and welcomingv. The animals were an added bonus and I was able to feed the emus and pet the goats and donkey and also play with the brand new puppy and the other dogs and cats. The animals were so calm and very quiet at night. Our room was very spacious and charming with everything you needed including a microwave and mini fridge. The bed was super comfortable. The attached bath was also spacious. The metal tub shower was a cute touch. Breakfast both mornings was plentiful and delicious with the french toast being my favorite. We really enjoyed our stay and would stay again if in the area.
