The Twelve Oaks Bed and Breakfast

What a beautiful place to stay! As soon as we stepped through the door and saw the beautiful staircase and chandelier, I knew I would love this place. Everything was so clean, well presented and well maintained. I'm pretty easy to please, but I've never come away from a stay feeling as thoroughly satisfied as I did here. I couldn't fault anything. We plan on visiting America again for a coast-to-coast road trip and we will most definitely be coming back. Our experience was made all the better for the staff here. Everyone was incredibly warm and friendly. We'd particularly like to thank Tammie, who was here throughout our stay. Thank you for cooking the most delicious, traditional breakfasts. And thanks for taking the time to chat with us and make us feel so welcome. You made our stay so memorable!

I can’t begin to describe how amazing it is to stay here, the service is exceptional! The food is excellent and you get to meet other people who are staying there and have wine with snacks everyday. Tammy is such a great host and she will make sure you have everything you need! The rooms are so unique! I had a nice relaxing evening in my tub with a nice facial! The place is also super close to all the restaurants! Literally walking distance! Such a great place to go and disconnect from the city! I would recommend this place over any other!

Hands down the most amazing place I’ve ever stayed! The mansion is absolutely gorgeous! Each room has its own unique charm. Very clean. The hostess Tammie was the best. I’m definitely planning on going back.

My husband and I stayed two nights in Katherine’s Mirror Image room as part of our honeymoon, and our experience at The Twelve Oaks Bed & Breakfast was nothing short of exceptional. The property is absolutely stunning, each room is uniquely themed, beautifully maintained, and filled with timeless charm. Our room was both elegant and comfortable, creating the perfect romantic atmosphere for our honeymoon. The hospitality from the staff was outstanding; everyone we encountered was warm, welcoming, and attentive. Each morning’s breakfast was thoughtfully prepared and delicious, showcasing the care and detail that make this property so special. The inn’s location is ideal, just a short walk from Covington’s historic main square, making it easy to explore local shops, dining, and attractions. We truly could not have asked for a better experience and look forward to returning in the future. The Twelve Oaks is a gem and an unforgettable place to stay.

My friends and I stayed in the Salvatore Suite for a long weekend stay in "Mystic Fallweus". The suite itself was beautifully decorated and felt like we were in the actual Salvatore house!!! The house itself is decorated right now so beautiful for Christmas. It was cozy, our breakfasts were amazing and all of our needs were met & then some!! Melissa was our Innskeeper and she truly made this experience the best we could have asked for. We can't wait to spread the word and tell everyone about it!! Maybe one day we will be able to make the trip back down.

We had the absolute best time! I highly recommend staying here it’s a great location and the service is amazing. This bed and breakfast has the absolute best breakfast! Shoutout to Tammy if you get her she cooks amazing and is such a great host interacting with all guest making it feel like a hallmark movie! We will definitely be back!!

My boyfriend and I stayed here last weekend for my birthday and it was the Best Birthday of my entire life-so far. I can honestly say that the Inn was a Huge part of that. I am a superfan of the Vampire Diaries and we stayed in the Brother's Bourbon Quarters which was Too Wonderful for words. The home is beautiful, the grounds are spectacular, the breakfast was amazing, the Entire Staff was incredible, the history of the home sooo interesting, the balcony charming. Touring Covington (aka Mystic Falls) all day and returning to the Inn to drink Brother's Bond Bourbon on the Balcony, soaking in that Vampire Diaries reminiscent tub and winding down to the Vampire Diaries on tv was my dream come true.

The Twelve Oaks Bed and Breakfast was an incredible experience for my wife and me. We had come to Covington to explore the area and discover the filming locations for The Vampire Diaries. We chose this place as our stay, and it exceeded all our expectations. The beauty of the place was simply breathtaking. Merry, the innkeeper, was an amazing, sweet, and kind person. Her blueberry pancakes were delicious, and she made us feel very welcome. My wife had mentioned that it was my birthday, and when we returned from gallivanting, Merry had left me a birthday card at our room door, which was very sweet. This is a private bed and breakfast, and you cannot tour the place unless you are staying there, which was nice to know that we were the only ones allowed in and out and made us feel very safe. We stayed in the Catherine suite, which is where the rib cage shower is after using it. It was a very awesome and unique experience if you’re coming to Georgia and you’re a fan of The Vampire Diaries or just need an amazing bed and breakfast to stay. Definitely would recommend the 12 Oaks.

Beautiful B&B in the quaint town of Covington, Georgia. The breakfast was delicious and the rooms were well maintained and very comfortable. Would stay there again !

The absolute coziest stay. Quintessential southern charm. I was in awe at all the details (refurbished but still 1800's!). The location was ideal, with walking distance to the main town square. Breakfast was so hearty - Mary is the cutest. Can't recommend enough! So happy we were able to support this business.

We arrived for a long weekend after 6 p.m. A note and our room key was left for us. Parking was easy just behind the mansion. Our room and the entire inn was clean and immaculately decorated with high-end antiques. We simply loved the restroom in the Frankly Scarlett room. The showers offered a luxurious experience. This room even offers a working gas fireplace but you may have to seek assistance with the inn keeper to learn how to use it because the remote to it may or may not work. I enjoyed the reclining chairs. I would've loved more dressers in the room to place clothes and to store things. Our room had none. There is no cable TV but firestick and roku options. With a key and key code, you can come and go as you please. The breakfast is awesome. I'm a person who can eat grits with any thing. They serve delicious and creamy grits. I love a thicker consistency and these are perfect. They have a 5 pm to 6 pm Sips and Nips period where you sample and socialize, but if your room is on the first floor it can get a little loud especially if you are trying to rest and relax. They do a lot of movie filming in and around this location so they are often closed Destin those periods. There were currently filming Vampire Diaries in the town when we visited. The rooms are often movie-themed or culturally themed. Overall, this is one of the better and more nostalgic bed and breakfasts in the area that is well-maintained. They are on the pricier side but you pay for the history, location, and amenities. They are a great location for weekend getaways from the city, for weddings, bridal showers, and receptions but with some minor additions to the rooms and a little more attention to customer convenience in the rooms, Twelve Oaks would offer a truly immaculate experience.

Omg I am absolutely obsessed with this house. It's beautiful, well managed, loved, cared for, etc. the house is sooooo stunning. And omg the French toast they serve for breakfast is probably the best French toast I've ever had! Absolutely amazing stay!

This place is magical! I've stayed twice. Once in Sweet Home Alabama and once in The Salvatore Brothers' Study. Staying here transports you to a different time. It's charming. The breakfasts are delicious and I've never felt such nice sheets. I will be back!

I happened to come upon this place when looking at places to stay in Covington and was obviously blown away by the stature and charm of the home. We stayed in the "in the heat of the night" themed room. It was super cute and spacious for two people. Had an enclosed sun room too. Overall experience from start to finish was impeccable. We had hoped to check in by 4pm so we could enjoy their sips and bites from 5-6pm but ended up arriving at 545pm. I actually received a text around 5pm asking for our ETA which I thought was very kind. Check in was super easy, we were shown to our room and then headed downstairs where they had wine, cheese, crackers and other yummy bites. It's then only a short walk to the square for shopping and dining. In the morning, we headed to the dining area for breakfast where we were greeted with a delicious parfait, coffee and OJ. We were then served eggs, pancakes and sausage, all of which was very good. Be sure to take time to just sit on their rocking chairs and watch the world go by. We also enjoyed walking around the grounds. Not sure when we will be back, but it was certainly an unforgettable experience.

We just returned home from Twelve Oaks and we had an amazing time. The Innkeeper Amy was so nice as well as everyone else there. The mansion is so clean and beautiful. It was myself, my husband and our 3 daughters (ages 15, 14 and 10). We were in the Master Suite. It was the perfect size for the five of us and so beautiful. We all just loved hanging out in the room. Also, the breakfast that Amy makes I delicious. The biscuits with sausage gravy were the best we've had. One of my daughters is so picky and does not like grave on anything , but she ate all of it! We did visit Covington for the Vampire Diaries/Originals/Legacies and we loved the town and all the restaurants but most of all we loved the Twelve Oaks and cannot wait to plan another stay!

This place is stunning! I only came to do a photoshoot but I fell in love! The house is stunning at first glance, but the more you walk through it, the better it is. The rooms are spacious and have beautiful beds and bathrooms. The lawn and garden are lovely and there's even a swing out front. The hostesses were so kind and helpful. I can only personally recommend this as a place for photos for now, but I will definitely be back to stay the night!

Amazing B&B! Highly recommend for your stay in Covington. The property is stunning and caretakers ensure your stay is wonderful.

This is my second time staying at the twelve oaks and I was disappointed this time. We stayed 4 nights. We were not greeted like we were the last time we came. The innkeeper just asked my name and walked me to my room. She did not ask me if I needed help with my bag. I had to carry up my luggage with a broken toe by myself and carry it down. I asked for extra towels and left a tip every day for the cleaning lady. She did not grab our dirty towels and only left 2 the 1st time and just put them on top of the desk, On the 2nd day I wrote a note to leave 4. When 2 guests are staying in a room the normal about of towels is 2 per guest, not 1. I asked about the previous innkeeper Amy and she was annoyed I even asked about her. Amy was so warm and welcoming and made your stay! We missed her dearly this time around. She was the main reason we wanted to return. She would ask my daughter what she would like for breakfast and was always there if you needed her. This time around I asked if they could make the strawberry pancakes and they blew off my question and said they were making something else the next morning. I don't know if we will be returning. It's very disappointing.

We loved our stay at 12 Oaks. Our room was spacious and lovely, the home was spectacular and beautifully decorated for Christmas, the breakfasts were delicious and the hostess was engaging, accommodating and delightful.

Wonderful place for a mother & daughter girls trip! We stayed in the Frankly Scarlet Junior suite - it was perfect. Reading in a rocking chair on the porch was so relaxing. We felt safe in the Bed & Breakfast - even on the first floor, also walking into town & walking back after dinner. Mita was a wonderful host so much helpful local information and history! The breakfasts were amazing also! Can't wait to return for another visit!

We had an amazing trip to Covington and this B&B was perfect. We had a last minute addition to our group and they were very accommodating. We stayed in Suite Home Alabama. It's a beautiful room. We enjoyed the Southern Sippin' and Nibblin' Hour on both days of our stay. The first day we sat and enjoyed the other guests, on the second day we enjoyed our wine in the rocking chairs out front. Breakfast was incredible both mornings. They had a fruit and yogurt parfait to start. Our first morning was eggs, sausage and french toast. Our second morning we enjoyed biscuits and gravy with eggs. The town square was within walking distance and its a very pleasant walk. We were very happy with our choice to stay here

House keepers were super nice. We ended up checking in early because there was bad weather and nothing was opened. They were super nice about letting us come early and since we were the only ones there they gave us a tour of all the room. Loved all the unique decor and history very beautiful house.

Twelve Oaks is incredibly beautiful and such an amazing stay. The innkeeper was so incredibly sweet and very accomodating, as well as all the staff. The breakfasts were incredible and the rooms are absolutely stunning, and so comfortable. You could walk to town which was also great. If you are in Covington, you must go! I am looking forward to my next trip back!

My wife and I stayed in the Scarlett Suite just recently. The house is wonderful. Our host was very knowledgeable about the area. Our accommodations were over the top. We enjoyed wine and cheese in the evenings. We had gourmet breakfast in the mornings. The home is a very convenient walk to downtown and all of the attractions and restaurants. We highly recommend visiting the Covington Ga visitor center where you can see a lot of movie and show memorabilia. We had a great experience and highly recommend The Twelve Oaks Bed and Breakfast.

Amazing! Our hosts were the sweets and kindest people. They are around if you need them but not all in your space either. Breakfast was beyond delicious each morning - good coffee too. My daughter and I stayed in the Sweet Magnolia and I wish we could take the bed home lol soooooo comfy.....town was a short walk away. Great restaurants (reservations recommended on Friday/Saturday night) everything seems closed in GA on Sunday's so plan a hike or go explore the neighborhoods. I brought my teenage daughter to see the film sites for vampire dairies. They did not disappoint, easy to find and almost all in walking distance. We seen it all in a day so definitely rent a car so you could explore other near by towns. Atlanta is a waste of time in my opinion. There is a southern sippin hour in the afternoons. Wine was good and there was a standard small charcuterie board for guest to share. Over all my morning coffee on the porch listening to the birds was my favorite. It really is a beautiful place and I look forward to visiting again in the future!

The rooms were gorgeous, clean, and a realistic representation of the name of the room! The staff (Ms. Mary) was the kindest person ever! She gave great suggestions on where to go and what to see. She had an amazing amount of history to share. Not just about the house but the entire town. This will definitely be memorable.

My family booked Salvatore & Breakfast at Tiffany suites bc we were told no room accommodates 4 people. The mansion is breathtakingly beautiful & takes you back in time. We arrived at 12 but were told to come back at 2, later found out other families were allowed in early & got to tour the home. Sips & Nips was nice, few bottles of wine & a charcuterie board. I was hoping since were in GA there w been bourbon. Even Brother Bond bourbon. Breakfast is served in the main dining area - food was delicious! Both events were an enjoyable touch to our stay. Both suites were beautiful, clean, organized. However both mattresses extremely uncomfortable, soft, soft spots, and squeaked. Before you assume... @ home we sleep on gel memory foam. The shower in Salvatore was awkward to adjust either min. or extreme pressure & on extreme the water splashed everywhere. Not to mention the hot water knob sprayed hot water everywhere. Tiffany suite the water didn't not drain well, so if your not quick you'll end up in a semi swimming pool. We past some of the other rooms that looked more comfy and nicer baths. For the cost of the rooms, I did expect better quality in the bed&bath. I understand keeping the charm but at some point some things should be upgraded upholster or just replaced because its not easy on the eyes. Outside the mansion could use some TLC, the walk up to the door is cracked/uneven. The patio has alot of wear and tear that was just covered with paint. I also felt the host was a bit cold or maybe just towards us [we are POC]. Overall the stay was pleasant but for the price to quality I would not stay again. Oh PS if you heard about the ghost stories & wondering... yes, we experienced that as well!!!

Our recent stay at the Twelve Oaks was like a step back in time... We soooo enjoyed rocking on the front porch imagining days gone by. History records that Twelve Oaks was the mansion Margaret Mitchell had in mind as Ashley's Mansion when she wrote 'Gone With The Wind." Upstairs were Scarlett's dresses on display for guests to enjoy. And our room's décor reminded us of scenes from Ashley's mansion. Our hostess was exceptional in all the little extras she did for us. We so appreciated her. Her southern breakfast with biscuits and gravy was delicious! We don't remember when we've enjoyed a stay at a Historic mansion more than Twelve Oaks.

So worth the stay! We found this place by pure accident, but it was the best accident ever. We live in Atlanta (1 hour away) and had Winter break. It had been raining non-stop and we decided to take a day trip mid-week just to get out of the house. So off to Covington, GA. (my daughter loves The Vampire Diaries, and if you didn't know it was filmed here.) I looked on maps for a place to stay and at the first picture, I was hooked. It was very hard to decide on which room because they are all stunning, and have a different vibe. Each suite is named and themed after a movie. We chose "Katherines Mirror Room" and so glad we did. With its beautiful color scheme and decor, from the minute you walk in, it has a relaxing/calming effect. I love that the clawfoot tub was in the room next to the fireplace. Also, the Antique Ribcage shower is a must see and try. There is a Keurig on each floor with coffee and tea available at all times, a guest area on the third floor with and honor bar for snacks and drinks as well as a host of books and movies. They have a Wine & Cheese hour at 5pm and it is a great time to get to learn more about the town and house. The Breakfast in the morning was incredible: fresh brewed coffee, Yogurt Parfait, fresh OJ, Peach stuffed French toast and Havarti scrambled eggs with bacon. Since there was only one other guest staying when we checked in (it was a Wednesday in the middle of February), we were given a tour every room they had to offer. I don't know if it was intentional or not, but the doors to the unoccupied rooms were left open during our whole stay, revealing the true splendor of the home. Every time you left your room you could catch a glimpse of what the house has to offer. But just a peek, so it makes you want to come back and stay in each room and experience it for yourself. It was also kinda cool at night and didn't make it feel all closed up, it was like you right at home in a beautiful Historic Antebellum house. Great marketIng on their part. We will defiantly be coming back. Unless you are here for a Vampire Diaries tour, I personally don't think there is much to do in the town. (Did I mention they offer a Salvatore Brothers Study room) But we went just to get away, so it was just what we wanted. It's a perfect escape for a weekend away or anytime. I didn't want to leave the room, it was so beautiful. Just bring a good book, bottle of wine and a friend and you're all set. My only suggestions: (and in NO way criticism) *have a blanket rack with cozy blankets for guest to use if they want to sit on the porch or anywhere in the house. There were a few on some chairs and sofas. (You may already have them for the porch and due to the ridiculous amount of the rain we have been having, they may not have been out) *instead of an honor bar, offer sodas, bottles water and maybe even wine in the 3rd floor guest area for your guests as an added bonus. Maybe have fresh baked cookies available instead of candy/chips. Just a nice added touch we would have enjoyed.

We had the pleasure of staying here for one night a few months back. The home is stunning, to say the least. The renovations they have done have kept the home true to its essence. It is quiet, peaceful, filled with charm and history. The owners and their staff are amazing. The food was delicious, they provide breakfast, which is locally sourced, and delicious, and also provide cheese and wine during the afternoon. The house is less than a mile away from downtown square, which is filled with amazing restaurants, ice cream shops, and other stores. If you are in the Covington area, you must visit. You will love it.

Was a great experience for me and my wife. Out of the way place and laid back. Amazing that the house is almost 190 years old. Breakfasts were excellent. Small town easy to walk to. 2 days were just right for us. Would get a room with a shower in next time if possible. John was very nice as we checked in. A good cook too.

A dream getaway! Such a beautiful property and the staff made us feel very welcome and appreciated. The rooms are gorgeous. The breakfast was scrumptious. A short walk and you have great dining choices and shopping. Plan to visit again and again!

Amazing stay!! Cannot recommend Twelve Oaks enough. From the themed bedrooms to the Gone with the Wind memorabilia, our stay was magical. The Southern Sippin' and Nibblin' happy hour in the parlor was wonderfully filled with conversation. Thank you, Mita & Mr. Powlas. Seeing my best friend and staying with you was unforgettable. Till we see you again...

The Twelve Oaks has officially ruined hotel stays for me forever! This bed and breakfast was the most beautiful place to stay and we were treated like family! The breakfast was amazing and the biscuits and gravy was the best I've ever had! Mita was lovely and the other guests were wonderful to speak to. Being a bed and breakfast, and not 150 rooms like a hotel, was much more intimate and peaceful. I would recommend staying here to anyone and everyone visiting Covington! My sister and I stayed in the Katherine Suite and it was just stunning! the rib cage shower was beyond perfect! It felt like a full body massage! You can tell they take a lot of pride in the upkeep of this home and they value the privacy and safety of their guests. Thank you for having us Mita!

stayed here for my 20th birthday because of Vampire Diaries and loved it! the Salvatore suite was sadly booked already but we stayed in the heat of the night suite and it was so cute and cozy! loved exploring and seeing where they filmed all the vampire diaries scenes!

The anwser is YES! Stay at Twelve Oaks. My mom and I stayed about a week in the "The room was perfectly cleaned, and the toiletries were amazing! The bed was amazingly comfortable, that I did not want to wake up for breakfast in the morning. Thankfully I did everyday, because it was absolutely delicious. between the presentation and service, it was spot on!!!!!. The staff and very professional and polite. (Hard to find these days). Mary, the innkeeper was super sweet and accomadating. It is about a 10 minute walk, give or take, to all the shopping and restuarants. Even tours are within walking distance, so you can basically park your car and walk everywhere. I felt very comfortable, like being at home (without the cooking and cleaning). I was able to take a peek at all the other rooms when they were to being used, and they all had been decorated so creatively. If you are in the area and looking for a place to stay, I SUGGEST TWELVE OAKS!!!

Well, back to reality :( My husband and I just returned from a wonderful stay here. We were in The Cannonball Run Suite which has a civil war theme.Since it was my husband's birthday and he is a history buff, this room was perfect. This is the second time we have stayed here and it definitely will not be our last. The home is breathtakingly gorgeous and attention to detail is second to none. ( They were so sweet and made my husband birthday pancakes; unfortunately we slept through breakfast :( ) They encourage you to look at the other suites if not occupied so you can truly see how each one is unique. Thanks again for making our stay so memorable. The only problem we have is when we come back, which room to choose!

Just stopped by twelve oaks again last week with my best friend. Twelve oaks never disappoints. My room last time was in the heat of the night, this time breakfast at tiffanys. Absolutely loved it!! And so did my best friend! It was her first time going and she was in complete "awe". It was a special experience for her. We both got massages by a woman named Selena, that the management has contact with her. She was amazing. Swedish massage from head to toe. She was super understanding , warm and friendly. Nicole and the rest of the management are superb ! They really make sure your stay is super special and are ready to accommodate to your every need. They make you feel like family ! This was my second visit this time , and many more to come !

When we rang the doorbell the lady answered the door and just stared at us. She didn't ask how we were, she didn't ask where we were coming from, we didn't even get a "hello". I said "uhh we're checking in?" She took us to our room and that was it. No conversation, nothing. We left at 4am to avoid any more contact with her. The property was beautiful and the house was nice and clean but as far as customer service we were disappointed. They also charge for drinks and even bottled water.

My wife and I stayed here this past weekend and had an absolute blast. The owners are very sweet and the room was exquisite. My wife is a fan of Gone With the Wind and was the reason for our stay. There are a couple of Scarlett's dresses on the second floor and were very neat to see. The town square has excellent restaurants and the breakfast at the inn provided by the owners is top notch. We could not have asked for a better weekend and highly recommend this place to others!

My sisters and I traveled from KY to Covington for the weekend to see the Vampire Diaries filming locations - when I came across the Twelve Oaks online, I knew immediately that I had to book it. I surprised my older sister with the Salvatore Study and she was so excited when we arrived. This was my very first Bed & Breakfast experience and we were blown away with how gorgeous the property is! Our room was very spacious and comfortable for (3) people. The home was quiet and peaceful. At first I was a little nervous having breakfast with all of the other guests (because I'd never done that before), but it was actually a lot of fun getting to know them a little bit. You could tell that they had all done a Bed & Breakfast before, because they were so kind and welcoming. Breakfast was delicious!! I am really big into movies - Hallmark movies in particular and this Bed & Breakfast felt exactly like you see in the movies! I LOVED it! I might not ever stay in a hotel again ;) I look forward to staying at Twelve Oaks again in the future!

I love The Twelve Oaks! The home is gorgeously restored and each room is a unique treat. The wine/cheese hour and breakfast are both delicious. And, if you feel the need to burn off those calories, the neighborhood is perfect for runners. I can't wait for my next stay!

Beautiful B&B. We spent a night in the Cannonball Run room. The bed and linens were very luxurious. Lush grounds, relaxing pool, and amazing porch with rocking chairs. The rooms are meticulously decorated. What especially blew me away was the outstanding bathtubs many of the rooms had. They were art in their own right! The authentic preservation of the mansion (established in 1836) as well as the amazing antebellum architecture felt like you literally traveled back in time. Definitely a treat for a romantic getaway or just to reset an hour or so outside of the bustle of Atlanta.

We were looking for a mother daughter get away specifically in Covington GA. I cannot believe we were lucky enough to come upon Twelve Oaks - as we approached it I said "look at that place , I wish we were staying there!" Then we say the sign and that was our place. The entire home is gorgeous and the owners are so friendly and welcoming. You will not regret staying a night or two or three.....the night nibbles and conversation was enlightening and the breakfast was delicious. Treat yourself and stay! Our teenage girls are Vampire Diary fans and this place was magical for them:)

This bed and breakfast was everything we imagined it would be. The home was outstanding, the rooms were comfortable and stunning, and the staff was over the top friendly and accommodating. And the breakfasts! It was like eating at a 5 star restaurant! I am still dreaming about the apple cinnamon pancakes, biscuits and gravy, applewood smoked bacon and the stuffed french toast. Everything was delicious! The area surrounding The Twelve Oaks was gorgeous and so much fun to explore. We went on day trips that were less than a half hour away. We also enjoyed exploring Covington's town, restaurants, and the historical homes. It was a great getaway and we will definitely visit again! Put this B&B on your list!

Upon arriving we were promptly greeted and shown to our room (The Salvatore Suite) and then escorted to the lounge where they had a platter of various cheeses, crackers, and salami along w/ a red and white wine option. This was a really great touch, as we had just gotten off the road from a three hour drive but wanted to browse around the gorgeous property, in the remaining sunlight, before heading out to dinner. When we came back we were able to relax with a small fire in the fireplace that was in our room which was perfect because it was getting chilly outside by then. In the morning we went into the dining room and helped ourselves to juice and coffee and were promptly served a great meal w/ eggs, pancakes, fresh fruit, and some of the best bacon I've ever had. I absolutely love the house and everything about my stay.

From the moment we walked in, we felt at home. John greeted us like an old friend, while we got situated and had wine and cheese before seeing the town. We could come and go as we pleased, and when they heard it was a getaway for my teen daughter (she's a huge fan of The Vampire Diaries AND historic homes and towns), John and Nicole went out of their way to mark all of the 'hot spots' on a map! We stayed in the Salvatore Brothers' suite...so roomy and comfortable...breakfast was amazing (homemade preserves and biscuits and sausage gravy...yum). Everything was beautiful and perfect...amazing time!

Terrific. Excellent location, amazing staff, beautiful rooms. I had forgotten how wonderful the true Bed and Breakfast experience is- one where they actually have a home made breakfast waiting for you in the morning. Felt like home. Great historic property and if you are there for any movie/TV tours - the property has been used several times and the staff is more than happy to tell you about it (including knowing what season and episode!). Special shout out to the gentleman how made the stuffed French Toast yesterday. Saw him mowing the lawn, working inside, making breakfast. He was so friendly and knowledgeable. What a gem! I wish we had gotten his name. We will certainly be back.

Incredible doesn't even begin to describe this property and the staff. This was the first bed and breakfast in which I have ever stayed so I cannot compare it to others, but I can say this house was absolutely gorgeous. I am sure they have spoiled me for future B&Bs! The decorations and detail in each of the rooms made them all unique and exquisite. Additionally, the staff members and owner were all personable, kind, and helpful in every way. We stayed in Katherine's Mirror Image and thoroughly enjoyed the ribcage shower and plush king size bed. I cannot wait to go back. Our breakfast was very filling, and we enjoyed socializing with other guests during the wine and cheese hour. I highly recommend this property, not only for the beauty of it, but also for the incredible hospitality and welcoming atmosphere.

Unreal. I booked the twelve oaks for a night away with my wife. I didn't tell her where we were going or what we were doing. I pulled up in the driveway and she asked "what are we doing in Covington"? Admittedly being a little bratty. I told her to just give the town and my planned weekend a chance. Once we walked inside to check in everything changed. The house is gorgeous and extremely maintained. Going as far as to see every room that doesn't have a resident is a wonderful thing. The floors and the bathrooms and the beds and the art are all perfect in my honest opinion. The staff (especially Travis) show up every day to make you're stay better than the amount of stars you can give here. (Thank you so much) The other thing we noticed was that every temperature that could be controlled was perfect, from the pool to the dining room to our room. It was never anything we would change. Our stay was perfect. I highly reccomend it and if you do choose to stay, find "2 socks" the kitten who lives under the stairs and loves every customer. Give him some scratches and he'll hang out with you while you take a dip in the pool or wander the property. I can't reccomend this place enough.

John and Nicole are the best at what they do. They make you feel so very welcome! The accommodations are very luxurious and the breakfast is phenomenal. We loved the wine and cheese in the evening and look forward not returning soon!

My boyfriend and I recently booked a stay for the weekend. The hosts are so welcoming and friendly, we truly felt like part of the family by the end. It's a little bit pricey so we were a little skeptical at first but I'm so glad we took the plunge. The sip and nibble happy hour every evening was so much fun and the 3 course homemade fresh breakfast was so delicious. The house and rooms themselves are stunning, really putting you into that historical feel.

I am actually on property as I write this, sitting in the lounge area on the third floor contemplating my next snack. What a stunning spot. Hollywood fame aside, this bed and breakfast is EXACTLY what I'm looking for in an out-of-pocket Select Registry property. Honestly, I didn't want to go home today after a couple of weeks of traveling. So, a quick search led me to the grand porch and front entry of Twelve Oaks. Travis and Chris are the immaculate hosts of a just as immaculate property. The finest details are accounted for, down to the linens, L'Occitane bath products, and gas fireplaces in each room. I was going to stay the evening, I've just extended to 2-3 nights (in a couple of different room types). Come to Covington; you won't be disappointed if you start your stay at Twelve Oaks.

My family of 4 stayed on the top floor and we were all very pleased with the accommodations! The beds were comfortable, the breakfast was delicious, and the house was in good shape. Sadly, the additional $45 each for our 2 children is too steep for a return visit. But YOU should go. :) It's worth it!

We enjoyed our stay here very much! Everything is so "Gone with the Wind" style which is what we are looking for. The details and every pieces of furnitures, decoration shows the elegance of the time past and now, also shows the heart-devoting of the host. The host was very nice and the breakfast he made for us tasted so good. I definitely will recommend this beautiful B&B hotel to my friends who might come to Atlanta. It deserves the "Top 10 Best B & B Hotels in USA".

We thought we picked the best room by the pictures, but we did get to see many of the rooms and they are all great. Splurge on one with a special tub or shower if you can. Breakfast was wonderful. The owner is very interesting and accomodating. I have never been to a bed and breakfast and it is very nice to just hang out in your room, on the porch or be pampered with breakfast and not feel like you need to leave your hotel. You are walkable from the town square and historic homes. There is also an abby 20 min away which is beautiful. Perfect for a stress free getaway.
