W. R. Asbury built this home and named it Oak Heights. Later it served as the Clarkesville hospital and was a boarding house known as the Charm House, hence its present designation. It has also been home to a bed and breakfast and a restaurant. It’s a grand Neoclassical house and sits back from Washington Street on a beautifully manicured lot.

Still a private residence and is for sale
A little over 20 years ago, I stayed at the Charm House, Mary and her husband were the owners or care-takers of the place and ran it as a B&B. I loved the place then. Like another – and forgotten – world.

I have a Cookbook from The Charm House by Rhea Holloway, Clarkesville, Georgia. Is this it???
Yes! My sister has one too!
Do you know if or how I could find the cookbook? I was born in that house ( I think it was like a clinic maybe! Anyway I was born there on March 31, 1945. My family moved to Sylva, NC shortly after and I have lived in NC ever since. I will be 82 this coming March. I have visited Clarkesville many times over the years and I still have some cousins living there. 😊😊
What is its current use and monicker ?
