A home frozen in time. Very well maintained and tastefully decorated to emulate the opulent lifestyle of its past residents. The ballroom is especially spectacular. The tour guide is knowledgeable and patient. Summer-time tours are restricted to the first three floors. Should visit in winter for a more comprehensive tour.

Preface, COVID-19 precautions are in place.Delightful tour of a historic mansion. Our guide was very informative and allotted enough time for each room. Of course restoration is ongoing during their current opening schedule so beware. Certain areas are closed off due to the season. Limited Tour group sizes and Parking available. I enjoyed it.

Wow! Not stop by if youre in the area, but rather drive here to see this no matter where youre coming from. Beautiful. Tour guide, Jeremy, was one of the most interesting people weve ever met and incredibly knowledgeable!

We really enjoyed seeing this beautiful house and a glimpse looking back in history. The painted wood work looks amazingly real and the large rooms on the first floor are incredible. The front doors are 12 feet be tall and weigh 500 pounds each. They are just the beginning of interesting features to see in this 7 story home. We enjoyed our tour with Logan. He shared lots of details and background information about the house and its former owners.

Very nice portray of the 19th century architecture and some of unique and awesome features such as internal communications through pipe conduits!

Great little tour of the place during the covid pandemic. Unable to access some of the house for this reason. The tour guide knows the history well and it is interesting and well preserved.

What a gorgeous home! This is definitely a must see if you find yourself in the Macon area. Our tour guide (Landon..?) was fantastic! He answered all of the group questions and knew so much about the home and its history. Definitely recommend it!

Every corner in this house is art, beautiful pocket doors, high ceiling with detailed crafted designs! I recomend to visit this part of history in Macon

Very interesting history and an exceptional house. Very happy we decided to stop and check it out. Staff was great as well, and could tell that our tour guide took a lot of pride in his job.

Beautiful historic house with an information filled tour and lots of facts about the time in which the hiuse was built.

Mr.aultman was a very good to us and super kind.

One of my favorite venues for weddings! Love the history!

This place is still beautiful 160 years later.

We just had a tour of the hay house!!! Wow what can I say..our guide was awesome!! Knew lots about the house family town of Macon and the war.. thank you sooo much..

Lovely tour of southern history. Enjoyed hearing about the families that lived there. It was a little warm, but you must expect that in GA in August.

The best old home I have ever been in. The tour guild did a outstanding job. We were impressed at every turn. This is a MUST SEE in Macon Georgia.

Beautiful home. Friendly staff. Lots of history.

Good job with the decorations

For venue people, like Epting Events, work area is tight but manageable. But beware transporting item to the kitchen! Small elevator does not accept Rubbermaid carts or similarly large items. When they say small, they mean small. But otherwise a great venue with wonderful history. Very helpful staff and very hospitable. Worth looking into.

Beautiful and the girl that led the tour did an amazing job.

Amazing ongoing restoration. As someone who studies that period in history (1870-1950), I was floored by how beautifully and carefully it is being interpreted and restored

We had a wonderful time. The tour guy was very informative and nice.

I love visiting old homes and this one surpassed my expectations. Our guide was very informative and the house is amazing.Its technological amenities were unsurpassed in the mid-nineteenth century: hot and cold running water, central heat, a speaker-tube system connecting 15 rooms, a French lift equivalent to todays elevator, in-house kitchen, and an elaborate ventilation system. The amount of pocket doors is astounding!

Very interesting! Little on the pricey side. $11 for a senior. Logan was a good tour guide.

Very cool historical mansion right here in ga

Awesome place to visit

This historic beauty should be on everyones list, especially for the holiday season.

A delightful visit with a knowledgeable guide, and many areas of respectable restoration to a beautiful and innovative plantation home.

You want to talk about glorious! This place is amazing, wonderful architecture and innovation. Loved every second of this place! Pray you get Logan, he added personality and relatability to the tour. Wonderful service, could not ask for a better tour guide!

Great historacal look into the history of downtown Macon for sure. Worth the visit.

The backstory on this house is so good. And the ideas that went into the design were amazing to say the least. One of a kind features throughout the house. Much of it fully and well restored. All of it accessible by tour. Really knowledgeable guide.

Not to be missed for those who appreciate historic architecture. Wonderfully interpreted by an expert staff!

Great tour of a magnificent architectural gem.

Great place to learn the history of the south..

The building is great. Beautiful location for any formal event.

Wonderful! If you visit anywhere in Macon, you must see this. Super architecture with symmetry in mind and amazing pocket doors. See all the modern conveniences of the late 1800s including a cooling system.

We visited the Hay House during Spring Break and I definitely recommend going. Youre not allowed to take pictures, but that made us focus a lot more on the details of the architecture of the house; breathtaking. The tour guides are very knowledgeable and was able to answer any questions we had about the history of the house. Its amazing to see old history like this.

A worthwhile stop in Macon. Excellent tour of a well preserved exquisite home from the 1800s.

This home was a head of its Time with modern features.

Great antebellum home and our tour guide, she was fabulous!

Lots of history, unbelievable features, gorgeous construction. Comparable to Biltmore.

Great visit. Tour guide was very knowledgeable. Worth the stop.

Must see if you enjoy history.

A must see if you are in the area!!! The staff make it amazing as they are so knowledgeable and friendly!

Borat 2

Beautiful in every way. If you would like to see how the rich lived in the 18 hundreds, this a must see, well worth the admission.

Worth a look. If you have go to one historical place in Macon, choose the Hay House. It’s a one hour tour, with lots of freedom to look around.

5 stars isnt even enough! This house is MAGNIFICENT!!!

Interesting place to visit. Tour was a little short for the price. And you arent to touch anything-- which I understand, but seemed strange at the same time.

A must visit when in Macon. The history and architecture are 2nd to none in an antebellum home.

Amazing historic home. Tours on the hour. Worth is since the home has several unique features.

Absolutely beautiful

Very cool part of Macon history. No spoilers but I learned things about it and Macon that I never knew before. We were there for a wedding reception BTW and that was beautiful. Great location for that.

I live the history of this old House. Definitely take the upstairs tour.

Loved this house and tour! Kind of long for little kids but still amazing, all of the thought and detail that went into it. And our guide was great! Definately worth doing.

Beautiful home and a great tour guide.

A very interesting historical feature in Macon Georgia. The guides are extremely friendly and very well-informed. The tour is enjoyable, but can be a little warm on a hot day.

Tour staff is very friendly and knowledgeable about the home

Absolutely beautiful home that you will be so glad to check out!!

This place is pretty cool! You get to see a lot of unique architectural features, cutting edge period technology and a friendly, knowledgeable staff. The house is still being restored so not all of the rooms are available to see.

Great tour, must see, but go in cooler weather.

Love the decor and vintage furnishings.

Full of history and beautiful decor. Amazing!

Gorgeous house and Logan was a wonderful, informative guide.

Wonderful, beautiful place to visit or to host a party, tea,luncheon,wedding!! You cant go wrong with this place !! It has so much history and the architecture is stunning!! The staff is very knowledgeable and very polite and willing to help you with any questions. If you need to schedule a event the event planner is very helpful !! My suggestion is to ask for the events manager !! He is polite and knowledgeable about how to make your event memorable!!! Also they hold special events throughout the year such as Spring stroll, Halloween, and Christmas at Hay house !!! Also go on the tour of house Monday thru Sunday til 4pm the Docents are knowledgeable about the history of the house you will love the tour its has a rich history !! They are also restoring different parts of the house to the original paint and settings it is a must if you visit Macon,Ga!!!!

It was a big and beautiful house. The tour guide told us lots of interesting facts and was able to answer all of my questions.

Fantastic architecture and interior design from the 1850s to the 1950s. Tours every hour, on the hour, take just one hour. Not to be missed.

Very cool tour. Guide was very knowledgeable. A little pricey for what you get, bit still interesting.

Great tour and loved the history of the house. There is a lot of cutting edge design for when it was built.

Its beautiful historical place to see. Staff is nice

What a fascinating Home. I recommend an early Spring of late Fall visit since there is no air conditioning. The tour guide was knowledgeable and answered all of our curiosities. The history goes beyond a single generation of the Hays Family. A must see if you are anywhere near Macon Ga.

Beautiful and the BEST VENUE!!! I had my wedding and reception there and it was a dream come true.

Beautiful and awe inspiring.

Really really neat place. A must-see see if youre a tourist in Macon. Im constantly surprised that people who have lived in Macon for so long and never been.

Lovely home.

Very interesting design of the house. Enjoyed little surprises of the house.

I love coming here. Just to your and walk around. I have had some weird things happen though. I was the last coming out of one of the top bedrooms and I heard a door short behind me but there wasnt a door. But I love this house .

Beautiful house,definitely do the extended tour

The tours are just ok, but the house is amazing. Worth a visit!

One of the highlights of our trip to Macon. While the cherry trees were not in full bloom this was a place worth seeing.

Great history, and tour.

This house museum is mind blowing. Elliot is a great tour guide

Beautiful old house. The tour was informative and the furnishings are beautiful.

We held our daughters winter wedding at Hay House. The house has magnificent architectural appeal and is adorned with beautiful period antiques which create the perfect setting for a beautiful wedding. The staff were all gracious, helpful and kind throughout the entire experience. I would definitely recommend Hay House for a wedding or other event.

A wonderfully maintained historic home that is one of a kind.

A beautiful building, but no ac

Best example of faux painting Ive seen. Beautiful home with lots of history. Also has a hidden secret room.

Beautiful. My daughter had bridal portrait shoot there

Hadrian was a great tour guide!

Best historical house I have visited so far. The wood work is amazing.

Neat experience, not much history

An amazing house. You must see this place if you enjoy architecture, history, beauty, and HGTV.

Nice place to have a small event

The house was beautiful, its to bad our guide was in such a hurry to get the tour over with.

The phone number of the Hay House is not readily available on the website. The address and other info is, but not the phone #.

Very cool! Great tour guide.

INCREDIBLE HOME AND HISTORY! INFORMATIVE STAFF!

So beautiful, i got to do a field trip here and it was an amazing experience

A fabulous place, rich with history, elegance and old South hospitality. Dont miss it while youre in Macon!
