Washington Plantation offers five spacious and luxurious bedrooms each with a private bath, individually controlled heating and air conditioning, and original heart pine floors with fine oriental rugs. Each room has a gas log fireplace or coal grate, telephone, cable television and free wireless internet access. All of the bedrooms have a writing desk and sitting area with silver wine and ice buckets, Irish crystal and silver goblets.
Brass and crystal chandeliers are rheostat-controlled to allow you to set the mood.
Bathroom amenities include bayberry and glycerin soaps, bath salts, bubble bath, shower gel, hand and body lotion, rubber duckies, luxurious spa robes and slippers, lighted magnifying vanity mirrors and Egyptian cotton towels.
Bedding consists of pillow-top mattresses, 1000-count Egyptian cotton sheets, pure hypoallergenic down pillows, duvets and comforters.
Even though all rooms share the same high level of luxury, each is different in tone and feeling. The rooms are named, with one exception, for members of our family, and the decoration and furnishing reflect the taste and style of the individual.
Abigail’s Room
Abigail’s Room has soft mint-green walls with lavish darker gray-green drapes with white sheers and floral tops, and a white beadboard ceiling. A hand-made queen four-poster rice bed, a period spinet desk and Queen Anne highboy are the major furniture pieces, lit by a pewter chandelier. Occasional tables hold the wine and ice buckets, and there is a Cambridge SoundResearch radio/ cd player. A tiled oversized shower and toilet are separate from the vanity area, which is in an alcove open to the room. Abigail’s Room is $150 per night.
