Madewood Plantation was built years before the Cival War by Thomas Bryan Pugh who came from North Carolina as a young man in the early 1800's. In May, 29 Pugh cousins rented the entire plantation for a family reunion. We gathered at 6 pm in the parlor for wine and cheese, family photos, and retelling Pugh family history. After an... More

Gathered with cousins for a 50th Birthday celebration, spent one night in the Mystery Lady Room, wished we could have stayed longer! The owner Keith was friendly and wonderful, the home beautiful, clean, and comfortable. The meals were sooooo good, both served one course at a time, plantation style! After dinner they even presented us with a birthday cake for... More

While hosting a wedding Rehearsal Dinner at Madewood, we chose to stay at the wonderful old Plantation Home for the weekend. It was one of the best ideas we've ever had. As soon as one walks upon the grounds, one is taken back in time to a genteel era. The home is gorgeous and authentic. Although the manor is majestic... More

Before booking your stay at Madewood Plantation, you MUST read this. Our experience there was terrible. (If you don't have time to read the whole review, just see the attached photos. You‘ll be glad you did.) We arrived for check-in at 4:30pm on a Monday (April 30, 2012). We were shown the parlor and dining room then our host looked... More

We recently spent the night at Madewood and it was wonderful. The dinner and breakfast were excellent. We met the owners who are very hospitable. Dinner and then drinks in the parlor afterward made for excellent conversation with other guests. Dinner was relaxed and moved at a slow pace which allowed us the time to get to talk and know...

Our room, the Mystery Lady Room, was spacious, and, though it had a small bathroom, it was excellent for the three of us (two adults and a 13-year old son). There is a beautiful balcony overlooking the garden in the common area. Before dinner, there is a... More

Perhaps the fact that I haven't stayed in a B&B for many years, or just reading the glowing reviews here, set me up for disappointment. We stayed in the Master Bedroom. When I tried to step out onto the veranda (one of the reasons we'd splurged for that room), I found nests of yellow jackets around the shutters, wasps flying... More

I might be back home in Dallas, but I left my heart at Madewood. I've been places and I've seen things, yet no vacation or hotel has ever compared to the gracious way of life that was so excellently and elegantly presented to me by the staff and proprietor of Madewood Plantation--not even the Hotel de Crillon in Paris. An... More

My wife and I just returned from a Valentine's weekend at Madewood. The experience was beyond anything that I could imagine at this type of venue. Kieth Marshall was the consummate host. Every detail was taken care of. The staff was superb. The meals were excellent. A very enjoyable weekend. I would highly recommend this to anyone who has an... More
