    We truly enjoyed our recent stay at Edgewood Plantation. It was an outstanding experience. The grounds are lovely, the accommodations are quite comfortable and the pool very refreshing. The house is tastefully decorated with antiques. We stayed in “Prissy’s Quarters” also known as the Honeymoon Suite. It was more than we had imagined, separate from the main house making it very private. The suite has a kitchen area and full-size sunken bathroom with ball and claw-foot tub. No TV but that was ok because we weren’t there for the Super Bowl. Breakfast, served in the dining room with fine china and crystal, is absolutely scrumptious. Dot and Julian Boulware are a warm and charming couple who made us feel so welcome in their home. They are the ultimate hosts. Edgewood Plantation is a wonderful retreat removed from the world that we greatly recommend for a peaceful getaway.

    I took my wife to edegewood as a Mother's Day weekend surprise. We found Dot the hostess to be a wonderful lady as we enjoyed chatting over a cup of tea together with her. The house & grounds are wonderful as we were given a tour of the plantation by Dot. Our room was a period step back into time with all of the pre-civil war area splender. Breakfast was a tasteful treat & Dot was such a helpful source of information for sight as to see in the surrounding area. My wife has already hinted at my bringing her back for her Birthday weekend & we are talking about holding our 'Renewal of Wedding Vows' ceremony here in the near future. Truly a memorable stay.

    We can't wait to go back!

    B&B's aren't normally my "thing." I have a job dealing with people constantly, and when I go on vacation, the last thing I generally want is to sit at breakfast with a bunch of strangers "chattting" and "making new friends." Dot and Jillian, the owners of Edgewood, changed all that. I have never stayed in a more beautifully decorated room, or had innkeepers who were more gracious and kind. Dot is a charming woman who goes out of her way to make you comfortable and see to it that your stay is enjoyable. Be sure to have Dot tell you of the wonderful history of Edgewood and the surrounding area, and if you're into ghost stories, be sure and have Dot tell you all about Lizzie... it's a wonderfully charming story about Edgewood's friendly "ghost." The grounds are lovely, the hosts are spectacular, the breakfast was wonderful (and large!) and my wife and I cannot wait to go back and see Dot again!

    What a great visit!

    We just returned from a wonderful visit at Edgewood Plantation B&B. A refreshing glass of wine awaited us with a lovely tour of the facilities. Dot is an enchanting lady that devotes herself to making your stay memorable. The home is absolutely gorgeous and it is more like spending a night in a museum than a hotel. We love being surrounded by history and artifacts from yesteryear. I have read several reviews complaining about clutter. It's all in the eye of the beholder - if you are looking for Holiday Inn and stark rooms decorated from Pier One or Rooms To Go then, this is not your place. You can easily spend a whole day in the house drinking in the history and decor. Yes, Dot has completely decorated the home and there is scarcely a bare spot but there is no issue in moving around and several wide open areas for visiting and reading. It's great! We could not have been more pleased with the facility. Be forewarned - it's a piece of history. The home is approximately 150 years old. The floors creak. Actually, I prefer to think of it as the floors speak to you - telling you the many stories and adventures they have seen. This home has much to tell - of loves and love lost, of new lives beginning and others slipping away, of war and tragedies and rebirth and if you be very quiet and listen hard - you can hear the whispers as the house tells you of what it has seen. The food was excellent and definitely a dining experience. We were the only guests that night and breakfast was scheduled according to our time schedule. Price wise - it's a little more than a Holiday Inn but you get so very much more. Definitely worth the extra few dollars and when you factor in the wine, coffee and tea whenever you desire and the gourmet breakfast - the museum quality artifacts, the beautiful home and grounds - the personal touch so lovingly bestowed - there is no comparison. It's a no brainer. We will drink from this cup again - many thanks for a memorable visit!
