We visited in mid-January and the grounds were still amazing and beautiful. Camellias in bloom everywhere! The views of the live oaks dripping with Spanish moss with the river as a background are wonderful.

Had a great visit. The grounds were amazing. Staff at house were very knowledgeable. I ended up dropping my phone in the pond and a staff member Dave went in the freezing water and got my phone. Wow! Thanks Dave, you saved the day!

There was another gentleman who played the part of one who worked back then forming different kinds of wooden barrels for more than one use. There was also still standing, a home where one of their many slaves lived and continued living, even after she was freed. Note: My review doesn't include the Middleton restaurant, that one has its own rating.…
