The Twelve Oaks
-
Built in 1836 before Atlanta was established as a town! Come visit the home that inspired Twelve Oaks in the movie Gone with the Wind. Stay in one of the great antebellum homes of the South!
Sitting Room with working fireplace. This is where wine and cheese is served in the afternoons.
Grand Hall
Very Berry Cream Cheese Stuffed French Toast. Come have breakfast with us!
Sausage and Prosciutto Quiche with Havarti and Cheddar Cheeses. Divine!
Katherine's Mirror Image Suite...this is the favorite room of many guests!
A very rare antique shower from the late 1800's called a Needle or Rib Cage Shower. The "ribs" spray water for the first luxury shower experience with body sprays! You can see these at the Biltmore in Asheville, but you can try one out at The Twelve Oaks!
The Salvatore Brothers Study...another favorite guest room! Feel like a king in this enormous antique bed!
Come try out the spa two-person shower with three luxury rain shower heads in the Frankly Scarlett Suite! The carrara marble tile is simply stunning!
All of the gorgeous guest rooms have working gas fireplaces with a remote control for the ultimate in comfort and convenience!
Come try out the beautiful antique tester canopy bed in the Frankly Scarlett Suite!
This room is named the In the Heat of the Night Suite for two reasons. The first is that the hit tv show, In the Heat of the Night, was filmed in the home several times. The other reason is because this room has it's own private porch!
Guests love the antique tub in the In the Heat of the Night suite!
The gorgeous dining room. This antique chandelier is exquisite!
Pull up a rocking chair and grab your glass of lemonade and relax on this gorgeous porch!
A view of the trees in the front during November. Come see the gorgeous fall colors!

5 out of 5Twelve Oaks: Heaven On Earth
January 20, 2013
Let’s start with “WOW” and we will try to clarify from there. Whether you are a fan of Hollywood, the Old South or just want the perfect place to stay, you cannot do better than The Twelve Oaks Bed & Breakfast in Covington, Georgia. www.thetwelveoaks.com We travel extensively each year and try to turn our dozens of overnight stays into memorable stays whenever possible. While we stay at some very nice places, some of which have even made “Conde Nast’s Gold List of the Top 510 Places in the World”, we have never stayed at a location we felt more comfortable at. Twelve Oaks has so much beauty mixed with an overwhelming sense of leisurely pampering, that a stay here is the perfect meld of grandma’s and grandeur. It is truly like Heaven on Earth!!! While everything is antique and beautiful, what we cannot stress enough is the comfort of the beds. Everyone commented at breakfast that the beds were unbelievable and Nicole let it be known that beds in hotels have always been one of her main critiques, so when she started a place of her own, she made sure they were the best. One night in these beds and you’ll know where the reference to Heaven came from! Did we mention leisurely pampering? Breakfast was served each morning in the dining room downstairs and over the course of our stay included: Sausage gravy and biscuits, stuffed French toast, and a quiche that was to die for. If ever there was a time and occasion that would be my choice for when the Lord would take me, it would be while eating quiche at Twelve Oaks! What a way to go!!! This review was much longer and we are hoping Trip Advisor does not have a similar 2000 character limit. Since we were not able to say everything we wanted, you will simply have to book a room and see for yourself! Thank You Nicole for such a fantastic stay!!! Jim & Stephanie Patton

The Twelve Oaks was my first bed and breakfast. I must say that I was so completely and utterly impressed. Nicole was spot on with her southern hospitality and charm. I could not have asked for a better host. I stayed in "Katherine's Mirror Image Suite". The bed frame was beautifully hand painted, the ribbed shower cage was amazing and the footed bath tub was so relaxing. I am already planning my next trip to stay there...and hopefully next time get to see a vampire or two. ;-)

Our stay at Twelve Oaks (the old Lockwood Mansion) was wonderful! Nicole and John are super hosts, and it was like staying with family! Everything was beautifully decorated and immaculately clean, and as good as any 4 or 5 star hotel we have been to. The little finishing touches made all the difference. We stayed in Katherine's Mirror Image room, and while the rib cage shower is a little intimidating at first, it was a very unique experience, and one you will only get at Twelve Oaks. After my shower, I put on the softest robe you can imagine, and felt like I was wrapped in a cloud while I sat in front of the fireplace. They create the perfect atmosphere. The bed linens are amazingly soft and cozy! The breakfast was delicious! The stuffed french toast is superb. We explored the third floor, which is under renovation, and can't wait to see what the final product looks like. We cannot say enough good things about our stay, and know we will be back again soon!

5 out of 5Great place great people!!
January 09, 2013
The Twelve Oaks Bed and Breakfast was a great place to stay! We were one of the first guests to stay and the owner Nicole was so kind and willing to help with anything. By walking we could be on the downtown square in 3 minutes, with Covington, GA being known as the "Hollywood of the South" you can see many things being filmed on the square which is a neat experience especially being a huge Vampire Diaries Fan! It is also located only 30 minutes from Atlanta and there is always something to do there! It is a gorgeous home and a relaxing place to get away. The people were awesome and kind and overall just a great place to get away for a few days!

January 09, 2013
Twelve Oaks is an absolutely amazing bed and breakfast! Everything is immaculate, clean, perfectly decorated, etc. The rooms are all gorgeous and the house and the property is beautiful. Nicole and John are two of the sweetest people and will make your stay even more worthwhile! I would definitely recommend and go back to The Twelve Oaks. They have vampire diaries themed rooms as well as gone with the wind themed rooms, and even if you are not a fan of one of these the rooms are still absolutely stunning! It is also close enough where you can walk to the main square for food, dessert, shopping, etc. Great place!

My husband and I stayed there over Christmas while visiting my sister in Covington. I was pleasantly surprised and amazed. I can't wait to return to see Nicole's upgrades. We stayed in the Frankly Scarlett suite and I didn't want to leave. Nicole gave us a tour of each room and they were just as nice. Each room has it's own theme. Thank you Nicole for having us!.
