From the time I booked my stay over the phone, I was just amazed with the warmt and friendlyness of the staff. When we arrived late that night, we were welcomed and directed to our room. It was our first wedding anniversary and the staff treated us like royalty! I was even asked what I wanted for breakfast. I had just gotten on a restricted low carb diet and the lady of the house still went ahead and made me a specialized plate so i would not cheat on my diet. every morning, she would have breakfast with us and give us the best tips on where to eat, where to go and how to make the best of each day. Good customer service is very hard to find these days but everything was excellent. Let me not forget to mention how clean and neat everything was. In all, it was a wonderfull place to stay quiet and cozy and was an excellent experience for our first bed and breakfast. We could not have picked a better place to stay.

My wife and I were scheduled to spend a couple of nights at The Confederate House. Unfortunately, she took a bad fall while hiking back from Rainbow Falls in the Great Smokeys NP and we had to cut our vacation short. The folks at The Confederate House gave us a credit for one night and refunded the second night. We appreciate thier Southern understanding and look forward to a future visit.

I did not stay at the Confederate House. I left.

I researched the internet before planning my vacation to Savannah. I wish now, I had found trip advisor before my trip instead of after.

As luck would have it, my drive did not take as long and I arrived a day earlier. I did not have a room booked so I called the Confederate House. Upon arrival, my fiancee and I were shocked. This was not the same place on the internet. The internet is a great tool but it can be deceiving. We decided not to stay.

I can not say it enough!!! Read all the reviews. It will give you a better picture of the owner, Colleen, and her business ethics. I was forced to take my dispute to Visa and WON. Now, I am receiving harrassing telephone calls and intimidation tatics from the owner. They are horrible. Hard to believe anyone could say such cruel things. I am now forced to seek legal representation to make it stop. I'm am thankful she's in a different state.

BE CAREFUL! Study trip advisor and the Confederate House website. I can not speak for the what the inside of the Confederate House is like I can tell you there are many embellishments that I saw.

My husband and I stayed here for our anniversary, and if it weren't for the fabulous biscuits and cozy bed, we would've checked out and stayed somewhere else.

Upon walking in, the inn was huge, sparsely decorated (um...not modern either) and yes, the tile floor looked like something from the 70's. Almost vinyl looking brown parqay (sp?) tile. There was a disturbing painting on the wall of her son, again, circa 1970, and it was located right near the breakfast table so you had to stare at it while you were eating. It was very pale and ghostly like, and just, well..sorry but strange and outdated.

Unfortunately, what many of the negative reviews say is true. The hostess, C.W., is indeed a bit eccentric. As soon as we sat down at the table she immediately began telling us sob stories about running the B & B, how difficult it is (please! immediate intimacy is NOT ever appropriate with guests--especially paying guests!!), and yes, how it had burned down to the ground several times. Very discomforting and strange way to start our day. The breakfasts, though, were very good. The biscuits were some of the best ones I have EVER had! And there was honey to put on them...mmm! There was only one day where it lacked--and according to the hostess, none of the kitchen staff showed up (a domestic abusive boyfriend issue, and how she didn't want him showing up at the inn!!!). More sob stories. Two mornings, the other guests were so upset by her behavior and stories, that one of the ladies practically burst out crying how she just wanted this to be a drama-free vacation, as it would be one of the last ones she would be taking her elderly parents on as they were aging, etc. Very sad!

As far as our room was concerned, it was cozy. The bed was well-appointed and the plasma tv was nice. The bathroom door handle (a large, brass kinda deal) flew off the first time I opened it, and shattered into three pieces. The roller shades kept crashing down from the palatially-sized windows, as I tried to close them. When I asked the hostess to bring up a ladder, she asked why I was closing the roller shades? I said, because we want privacy! She said, the place next door is vacant, and there are curtains on this window (day sheers!), nobody will see you. Can you BELIEVE?? My husband and I were like, uh...something isn't quite right. But we had a good sense of humor and assured her we would "be careful".

The website claimed there are homemade cookies, cakes, tea, and beverages set out for the guests every night. The first night, there were packaged treats such as dinner mints and "Hostess" type snacks. After the first or second night, the hostess mentioned the other guests (same ones who complained about her) "took too many", so she wouldn't put them out again til' after they checked out (3 days later!!!). Ugh! Again, very strange, inhospitable and just overally untruthful. If you say you are going to provide it, provide it. If you can't "get to it" go to Kroger's, get some cookies, get some cakes from the nice bakery on Broughton Street, and put out some teabags, lady. If you still can't provide it, take it off your website and stop telling your guests when they check in what to expect. And no excuses. These "little" inconveniences put a damper on our trip. Luckily, Savannah MORE than made up for the oddities at The Confederate House. Savannah is just an amazing, beautiful, graceful place!!!

Finally, my husband and I were so weirded out, when it was time to check out we just politely said our goodbyes and packed up the car. That was that.

I feel that people should have a thick skin if they want to stay at the Confederate House. If you aren't bothered by any of the above situations, you will do just fine here.

Good Luck!
