The Twelve Oaks Bed and Breakfast in Covington, Ga. is a beautifully restored 10,000-square-foot antebellum home originally built in 1836. Considered by many to be one of the most beautiful examples of antebellum architecture in the South, the inn was recommended by Gone With The Wind author Margaret Mitchell as a model for Ashley’s home in the iconic film. Each of the eight guest rooms are inspired by movies or TV shows filmed in Georgia, from Vampire Diaries to In the Heat of the Night. (Rates from $199 per night; http://thetwelveoaks.com)
