Blythewood Plantation

I took my mama for the Mother’s Day Brunch which was a special event hosted by the plantation. The house is beautiful filled with rare antiques and touches of a time back when. Each room had a special flare to it. The setting for brunch was buffet style Each place setting on the tables consisted of different china patterns from the Kennedy family with crisp liens and floral arrangements. The food was fabulous & great tasting with a nice variety. Mimosas were served along with ( of course) sweet tea. Bread pudding and coffee finished the meal for dessert. We will definitely be back.

We were here for a wedding and it was beautiful! Hope and the ladies were awesome to work with. We definitely recommend Blythewood Event Center. Best staff ever and a gorgeous home!!!! If you are looking to book for a wedding please contact Blythewood!!!!!!

The night before I came to Blythewood was spend at an air BnB with animals crawling in the walls. What bliss to arrive here to Ellen's hospitality and a grand room! One of the other staff members had made a pot roast, and they offered that to me for dinner so I didn't have to go foraging after my long drive. Yum! The coffee pot was ready for me to push start when I got up early, and later I was treated to a delicious full breakfast. My only regret about my stay was that it was too short. This is truly a lovely place with wonderful staff.

My husband and I booked a room here for two 2 nights to visit the area. We were very disappointed on several counts. First, the owner told us that there was to be a very large group of sorority girls spending the night so we might want to stay out until 10 pm, when they were told they would need to quiet down. We arrived at 10 and were told to go around to the back. Upon driving up to the house, we could see that it was in a state of disrepair. The pictures on the website must be very old. The back porch had all kinds of junk on it, soda bottles, big spray, etc. The young woman who met us was very friendly and got us settled. All the girls were downstairs and unfortunately there was a group directly below our room and we could hear talking, hair dryers, mattresses inflating etc. our room had a comfortable bed and sheets, but there was so much ‘stuff’ everywhere we had to move things to be able to use the chairs and beside tables. I was looking forward to having coffee on what had appeared to be a lovely porch overlooking the front lawn. What a disappointment when going out there the next t morning. It was filthy and there were overflowing ashtrays, empty beer cans etc. all the windows were very dirty, shutters broken etc. Again, there was stuff everywhere, like bug spray, water bottles etc. The young women came back the next morning to cook and serve us breakfast. The majority of the downstairs is set up for wedding receptions and the front lawn for weddings. Breakfast was good and she served us at a sweetheart table. It was then that we realized that we had been alone the prior night with 80 girls. We assumed the owner lived in the house but she was out of town. Thank God nothing happened during the night! Later I was walking along the second floor hallway looking at the memorabilia when one of the doors slowly opened and a man appeared, said hello, and then closed the door. I was freaked out, as I did not know anyone else was there! He must have been the owner of the beat-up car in the yard. On the second night, there were other people staying in the house and we could hear them going out onto the porch to smoke all night and coughing and talking. If we had known it was a smoking room, we would have chosen to stay in another room. Even though this is called a ‘Plantation’ the original house burned down and this one was build around 1900. While it is on several acres, it is in the middle of a neighborhood. The owner never asked about our stay, and we were charged the full amount, even though we had to stay away until 10:00 pm. We never received a bill, just the charge on our card. It was a very disappointing experience and the only thing that kept us there was how nice the young woman was and how hard she worked.
