Last night marks the 5th time in recent months that friends and I have gathered here. We like it…read morebecause it's tucked away and sits directly on the river with fantastic water views in every direction. Whether they are trying to or not, they seem to be attracting mostly adults over families with kids. I did not start out liking it for this reason, but I admit it's now among the chief reasons my girlfriends and I enjoy going there. Last night, we were seated outside because they were packed inside, with no tables available and no seats at the bar. This was a first, and I was happy to see them filled. I feel like whoever is managing has the right idea, but even more so, the right staff currently in place to pull off bigger things. I say this because this place has the immediate potential to do an AMAZING OUTDOOR HAPPY HOUR service and make a killing. They already have a huge outside area which also happens to be partially covered, and already manage to get in a largely adult crowd both by car AND boat. The potential reminds me of what Waters Edge at Shem Creek was and how great they were before the new ownership/management takeover. The potential is absolutely here at WRG even if the happy hours only lasted for a couple of hours. Turning to food, I follow this venue on social media. I see the bar food pics and specials and they look epic. I was super excited to finally be able to do a few plate grabs and try stuff out. Given we were seated outdoors, I asked about their website's advertised bar food menu. When we asked, we were told that the bar menu was only available at the indoor bar despite the website saying otherwise. We also looked around for an outside bar but did not see one, so that is why we assumed "outside bar" meant all of the outside. We remained seated outside and ended up ordering from their main dinner menu. We enjoyed the Fried Green Tomato Caprese appetizer ($14), an order of (unadvertised) garlic bread ;-), Flounder Bites ($16), and a special Chocolate Cinnamon Bread Pudding. Everything was good. I won't hype it because it was not great, just good. The Caprese was the only confusing dish, as it served as something more closely resembling (and tasting like) a bruschetta, but you do receive a large portion. The wines were half decent pours at $8 a glass for their house Pinot Grigio. One friend ordered a liquor drink, which she said was tasty; however, it was not what she ordered. We think she was misdelivered the wrong drink altogether. With a few tweaks and menu changes, the addition of that 'ghost bar' to the outside patio, and hiring additional staff, there are big things ahead for this place in the not-too-distant future. I hope I can come back by summer and give them more love and more stars.

The reception was held under the open air barn and had enough space for tables for eating and a great dance floor, as well as the bar and space for the food. There was also a separate building for bathrooms and a patio on which they had a fire going so we could make s'mores! The grounds are gorgeous and the owner of the property even personally shuttled people back and forth to the parking area in his golf cart! There were horses, cats and chickens wandering about- it was just adorable. You could really make it your own with some personalize wedding decor for your special day.

I have been to several different plantations in several different states and was really looking…read moreforward to a great afternoon with my daughters at Hopsewee to include a booked Tea Time and house tour. I purchased the Tea Service ahead of time. Everyone was very friendly but I will say, overly cautious. I had indicated that I have a tree nut allergy on the notes when I booked our reservation and I have never had an establishment refuse me service because of my allergy , but they did. For the life of me I couldn't understand why a slight adjustment couldn't be made to remove almonds from one tiny dish. They also refused to serve one of my daughters for a lactose intolerance note. I assured them it was ok and I had a lactaid for her to take, she'd be fine. I had only included that note because SOME places will offer alternatives. Ultimately, they served us but I had to sign a waiver, never have I ever until now. Most of the tea service items were very good with the exception of the tiny lemon chess pie which was curdled and tasted of rotten eggs, awful. The tea was excellent and the scones and curd and cream were great too. The area where the dining room is, is nothing fancy at all. It was decent but I was truly disappointed as I was hoping for something more extravagant for tea service. The plantation home, while nice was also truly underwhelming. Great history, good tour guide who was very knowledgeable and a great storyteller, but the house was not anywhere near as fancy as others I have visited. I think what was the biggest let down was that this was the first time my daughters were visiting any plantation home and it was not at all what I was hoping for them to see and experience. If I had known what it looked like more ahead of time, I would have chosen another location in the area. Pictures inside the home are not allowed.

I've played Dunes West and Rivertown which are both great golf courses and well maintained. Charleston National has a great layout, absolutely fabulous green complexes that are in great shape. Multiple sets of tees for all playing skills. Brand new golf paths and new GPS golf carts. If I was to try and find issues, I would say the fairways, in certain cart abused areas, need work. I see plenty of new sod in areas that were abused and new paved entrances in and out of the fairways. The problem I observed was a lot of cart abuse on and off the fairways and NOBODY USING THE 90 RULE which should always be used on any golf club. Ress Jones layed a masterpiece here to be enjoyed by all.

We arrived on a Wednesday at 7:30 pm. This had to be the fastest check-in I have ever experienced. We gave our name and they handed us key cards literally within 5 minutes. I was too tired from the road trip to take in what a nice lobby the hotel has now. Plenty of lounge seating, a business area with a computer, High top tables and stools if you wanted to do some work or business. Also, in the lobby is tables and chairs for breakfast that they serve every morning. Surprisingly, they have an area where you can cook out and make use of their grill outside. There were some families outside using those amenities. The pictures of the room are for Room 314. Two nice queen beds. Clean looking bedspread and crisp sheets. The bathroom was a nice size. The sink was a good size with a mirror that lights up. The shower was clean with glass doors. Extra TP and towels were provided along with Dove Body wash, shampoo, and hand soap. I made use of the microwave and refrigerator. There was ample closet and storage space. I was impressed with the long wood bench. Very helpful for those who are mobile challenged. 6 was a very good choice for a comfortable overnight stay.

This 738 acres farm was beautiful! I spent nearly four hours exploring. I stopped by the visitor center after parking and was given a map. This is where you schedule the tour of the main house (not the original). The tour runs every 30 minutes. You can view the first floor and huge patio in the back. It's worth checking out. After exited the house tour I saw a 600 year old tree by the water. Then the staff advised to head to the parting lot and hop on a trailer being pulled by a tractor for a tour of the property and a history lesson. I learned so much and enjoyed the ride. While taking in the visual beautiful I couldn't help but think about its somber beginning. The crops worked by the enslaved started with cotton and indigo (premature deaths due to the urine used in production). Then the crops were switched to pecans. I told you I learned a lot LOL! There were sessions at different times and places throughout the property offering more history. I also enjoyed a stroll through the gardens which were spectacular and in full bloom at the time I visited Memorial Weekend. They also had several enslaved homes to tour as well as one that was used as a church. And the Visitor Center, in the original cotton mill, included a small museum which housed the original cotton gin. There was a cafe with a small menu, snacks and souvenirs. You can truly spend hours. They were setting up a wedding on the house grounds with the reception being held at the Dock House (be sure to check this out too). Weddings are scheduled to start when visitors are leaving. If you're interested in American history and love to explore the outdoors I highly recommend checking out Boone Hall Plantation.

The house tour is short and not very extensive, but we really enjoyed the tractor tour. A tractor pulls an open air trolley type car around the grounds where you can see the farmland, ponds, and wildlife (we saw a deer, alligators, turtles, and turkeys). It was interesting to hear the history of the land and crops. You won't want to skip this part. The gardens were very pretty. There were informative talks given by staff, and there were several exhibits in old slave quarters. These exhibits offer insights and history, and it is a lot to take it all in. Worth the visit if you are in town.
