Just called this place to ask about rates. The lady who answered sounded annoyed that anybody would…read morecall at 6 o'clock on a Saturday evening. When asked if she was open, she replied, "no I'm not." Sorry to bother you. Checking that one off the list too many places out there to stay to patronize the ungrateful.

I wish I could copy and paste more stars to their rating, like all of the stars we saw in the sky…read morewhile we were there! Where do I start? Mr. Pat & Mrs. Kay are the owners and they are hands on at all times. They run the whole show, so you deal only with them and the interactions with them were always very pleasant! (When a business owner is dealing with customers, you usually get THE best treatment.) These 2 people are the kind that make you feel like you've known them forever. Booking our weekend was effortless. They took our information, and told us to call whenever we needed directions or help. They promised to turn on the air conditioner earlier in the day so that our cabin would be cool by the time we go there.(Spotless cabin, may I add. But more on that in a minute.) We ran into Memorial Day traffic and, therefore, ran very late. Never having met us, they told us they'd leave the key by the door to the cabin for us. Are you getting a sense of what kind of people they are? Upon turning onto the property, we felt a sort of serenity with the moonlight gently giving us a sneak peek at all of the natural beauty we would be surrounded by for the weekend. We were excited to see this beautiful piece of land in the morning sun! As we walked down the rustic wooden bridge that led to our cabin, we were treated to the delights of a country night; the still night air, the birds singing their greetings to us, the sound of the water trickling through the tiny creek, the steady rolling hum of the windmill, all accented by peaceful quietness. And the doves! Can you imagine having white doves flying around, always in pairs? On the front porch of the cabin were a rocking chair and a porch swing. How welcoming! The inside of the cabin was spotless and, as promised, cool. There were soft clean linens on the beds with nice, fluffy pillows. The bathroom had a variety of complimentary toiletries and fresh towels and rags. There was a heater nestled in front of a wall designed to outline a cozy fireplace. They even thought to put a game of Dominoes on the mantle! They went out of their way to add the little "homey" touches that really make a difference. We went to bed looking forward to relaxing in the sparkling pool the next day. (And we slept sooo good!) After a delicious breakfast of Strawberries Romanoff, French Toast with crispy bacon, orange juice and coffee, Mr. Pat told us some of the history of the house (there since 1902) and grounds, like Lindbergh having landed there in 1923, 4 years before he "crossed the pond." Mrs. Kay gave us a tour of the house (also their home) and shared more of its extensive, and quite interesting, history. Stepping into some of the rooms, we felt like we'd been transported back into time. For instance, entering the parlor gives you a sense of how life was back then. The décor and furnishings and timed pieces allowed you to feel like you were there when it was all brand new. The antiques and old pictures of the original family make you experience a personal connection with their past. Edgewood Plantation offers an excellent first and last impression! Whether you're in the Cabins or the Bed & Breakfast, it's a place where you can relax, with no chaos or responsibilities and feel at home while away from home. A retreat. Mr. Pat and Mrs. Kay work hard to make sure that Edgewood is not just a place to stay, but an experience!
