Washington Plantation

Washington, Georgia.

This fine old B&B inn began life in 1828 & grew into its present superb example of Greek Revival architecture. The 7 acres of grounds, planted with magnolias, oaks, dogwood, pecan, hickory, elm and crape myrtle, have served as a backdrop for history.

Bed and Breakfast Description

The beauty and tranquility of the land, and the house’s setting at the top of a gentle knoll where the breeze always blows, stand as testimony to the eye of Daniel Chandler, the first builder at Washington Plantation.

The house is furnished with period antiques and fine reproductions. The breakfast china is Wedgwood or Lennox. The table silver is sterling. The window treatments are hand-made and luxurious. Crystal and brass chandeliers appear in every room. Irish crystal glassware, 1000-count Egyptian cotton sheets, gas fireplaces and the finest amenities grace the bedrooms. That’s the way a planter would greet his guests, and that’s what’s in store for you at Washington Plantation.

A full-service breakfast is served from 8:30 until 10:00 am. Early risers will find juice, rolls and other goodies outside their doors after 7:00 am. Special menus can be arranged with advance notice.
