1912 Bed and Breakfast

We always try to stay at B&B's instead of cookie cutter hotels for many reasons... unique atmosphere, peaceful privacy, personal hospitality, interesting history, friendly fellowship, personal safety, and, of course, delicious home-cooked breakfasts! Well, the 1912 B&B has all that and more! Tracey and Tommy are truly the perfect hosts. Enjoy Tommy's hearty Southern breakfast (he has mastered the art of great grits!) while Tracey entertains you with the history of the Inn, how they came to own it, and the saga of its restoration. You'll laugh, you'll groan, and you'll probably applaud because this girl could have a whole nother career as a stand-up comic! Yeah, she's THAT good! And, of course, the house itself is simply breath-taking in its Greek Revival splendor. It is truly the crown jewel of Sumter. P.S. All this said, if you were/are a Trekkie or a Star Wars fan, look for the little hidden hall of fame upstairs! Tracey and Tommy, may you live long and prosper, and may the Force be with you....always!

Before we arrived, there was a very welcoming energy. The hosts were so polite and cheerful. They felt like family. They were kind, not intrusive and explained the workings of the bed and breakfast perfectly. Very accommodating and the atmosphere was calming. Perfection! The home is beautiful, and the staff is so sweet. It was truly a surreal experience for us. I can’t praise this place and the people here enough. I’ve been to many B&B’s internationally through the years and 1912 Bed and Breakfast truly is Five Star and at a very good rate!

What a lovely historic inn with all of the comforts of home away from home. We stayed in the King room that has a balcony outside the bathroom. The high ceilings and turn of the century decor adds to the ambiance. The room was equipped with a television, wifi, mini fridge & water bottles and a coffee maker with supplies. Our hostess, Tracey told us of the history of the home and prepared a breakfast of scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage and biscuits along with fruit, yogurt and beverages. If you're in Sumter, the 1912 Bed and Breakfast is a lovely alternative to a cookie cutter hotel room!

My husband and I stayed at the 1912 Bed and Breakfast while traveling in South Carolina to the Charleston Carnival Cruise Line's departure port. We spent the night in the Romance Room. This room is spacious, comfortable, and beautiful. We slept very comfortably. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this lovely BnB. The hosts are most gracious and friendly! They made us feel right at home. We enjoyed a delicious breakfast the next morning; and, being history lovers, greatly enjoyed listening as our host shared her knowledge of the home's rich history. We loved our stay, highly recommend this BnB, and plan on staying again if in the area.

Simply the best stop for a peaceful nights rest enroute to Florida from New Jersey! Only wish we could spend more time! The owners/hosts are a delightful couple and you will leave having met new friends! Rooms are exquisite and the public rooms evoke well restored days of old! Will see you on our return!

What a fantastic place to stay. We were in town to visit family in Sumter and are so happy to have stayed at 1912 Bed and Breakfast. Tommy and Cassie were friendly and helpful, the rooms were perfect and the food delicious. The house is beautiful.

Excellent place to stay with Tommy giving us the grand Southern hospitality. Fantastic spaceous rooms and great breakfast, personally cooked to your wishes and heart’s desire. Close to center of town. Would certainly come back if around Sumter.

Wonderful experience! Beautiful old home. We had a room with a private balcony and we enjoyed a glass of wine sitting outside. Bed was very comfortable . Host very friendly and accommodating. He had breakfast ready for us at 7am rather than his normal. Breakfast was eggs, bacon, biscuits, grits, a variety of cereal, yogurt. Everything was good.

Although this is listed as being near Lake Marion it is not. In fact, it is over 20 miles away and the host knows very little of the area, attractions and etc.. Very small town with very little to see. The home was beautiful, clean and comfortable. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was very mediocre and not as expected but nice. Scrambled eggs, biscuits, sausage links, cereal, pastry, coffee and juice.
