5 out of 5Wonderful Experience!
March 13, 2013
My husband and I stayed at the Washington Plantation for our 50th Wedding Anniversary. What a wonderful decision that was! Barbara & Tom were not only the perfect hosts, but we were fortunate enough to make 2 new friends. Our experience was much more than what we were hoping for. When we arrived on Friday afternoon March 8th, we found beautiful red roses that had been delivered for us with a "Happy Anniversary" card, a fruit basket, a teddy bear and candies. Breakfast was an unbelievable experience! Not only delicious, but very elegant. I would highly recommend the Washington Plantation, not only for a special occasion (like a 50th Anniversary), but just a week-end getaway. You can sit on the veranda sipping wine, while enjoying the beautiful grounds. Visiting the Washington Plantation, and having the honor of meeting Barbara & Tom will indeed be an experience you will never forget. Thank You Barbara & Tom for such a glorious time, and we do plan to return with our family.

The attention to small details made our weekend getaway fantastic: the gas fireplace in each room, the jacuzzi bathtub, the slippers & robes, the coffeemaker, the morning goodie tray, and the comfortable bed. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there.

1.2 out of 5Not what we expected at all...
March 10, 2011
We opted for the Washington Plantation for my birthday and our wedding anniversary. The website was well done and the reservation confirmation was prompt and professional. Before I go into details, some information about us: We are in our mid 30-40 and well traveled. Our experience covers everything from motorcycle trips through Alaska to staying in 5-star hotels. This was not my first time staying in a historic plantation home. As we drove up the unfinished, patchy drive way, we were greeted by an array of clutter on the property. Broken flower pots, broken TV sets along with chairs, tables and shelves of all sizes and condition ranging from bad to worse were scattered in an unorthodox manner around the porch. The rotten floorboards of the porch were partially painted. Even a non-expert in carpentry could see that the floorboards didn’t need paint, but replacement. The overall exterior appearance would have been perfect for a horror movie set.Because we already pre-paid $260 for the night (none-refundable), we were going to give the benefit of the doubt and took a look inside. After ringing the doorbell, we were greeted by a very unkempt and scruffy looking Tom Chase, the Innkeeper, who smelled severely like alcohol.Compared to the outside of the plantation home, the inside was nicer but cluttered. The innkeepers knew that we had a birthday and anniversary to celebrate. Therefore, the Planter’s room was decorated with rose petals, which was a nice touch. My wife and I came quickly to the conclusion that we just wasted a $260.- However, we were determined not to ruin our anniversary any further. As a result, we decided not to spend the night and drove the 2 hours back home. Out of fairness, I explained to Tom in detail as to why we would not spend the night in the Washington Plantation. I was going to leave it alone until I received today an automated “thank you” note. In summary, we cannot recommend the Washington Plantation at all and a refund would be in order.
Innkeeper Response
I simply do not know how to respond to this. Late February and early March are when we do most of our maintenance, mostly because it's our slowest season, and partly because the weather is finally warm enough to paint and pour concrete. The "partially painted" porch repairs were completed by the middle of March, and the driveway repairs a little later. As for the "cluttered" interior, Washington Plantation is an 1828 Victorian Greek Revival house, decorated for the period, so yes, we don't look like Ritz Carlton at Reynolds Plantation. Their oral explanation for not staying was "It's not what we expected." As for the rest, read our other reviews, here and on other sites, where the accuracy of our web site is usually praised. There was no trick photography like fish-eye lenses or umbrella lighting involved on the web site. What you see is what you get. Most of the pictures were taken in November and May, not February or early March. The end of February and early March happens to be a time when the grounds tend to be dreariest, so disappointment in the grounds might be justified, but these folks live in Georgia, too, so it shouldn't have been unexpected. But in all other respects, Washington Plantation is not the Tobacco Road described here. But still, we are genuinely sorry we could not please them. It happens sometimes, two or three times in the seven years we've been open to thousands of guests. Tom and Barbara Chase5 out of 5Been there before, and glad we went back!

Tom and Barbara continue to provide an exceptional B&B in Ga! Stopped on the way to and from Fla, and enjoyed both nights. On our return Feb 14th, the romm was decorated for Valentine's Day, complete with silk rose petals, a box of chocolates and even a rosr for my wife! Gracious hosts, cozy atmosphere, and shrimp and sausage grits that are FANTASTIC!!! We'll be back, again!

The bed was exceptionally comfortable and the fireplace made things cozy. There were candy treats in the room along with a fruit bowl Tom and Barbara were very willing to adapt their meals to our "heart healthy" diets. The meal presentation was outstanding-- at one breakfast we had flowers and creatures cut from mellon slices--I've never seen anything like that in a Bed and Breakfast before. Our camera went into action at each meal. They were wonderful hosts.

What a fanstastic place. Definately one of Georgia's best kept secrets. Tom and Barbara were fantastic hosts. We lacked for nothing. The room was classic vintage (the mansion was built in 1828) but with all the ammenities. Wine and cheese on the veranda could have gone on for hours and the three course breakfast was superb. We'll be back!
