We had the best time staying at Mother Allie’s house. It was like stepping back in time and we got to learn all about her legacy. We enjoyed the decorations, documents, photos, and cookbooks. We highly recommend staying at this clean, comfortable, and historic home. Also Courtney was awesome and responsive in providing information about the house and ideas of what to do in the surrounding area. Thank you!

Everything was wonderful. The house is charming and filled with memorabilia. Plains is like a tiny time capsule. We walked to downtown from the house and it was a very nice stroll. Visited the shops, found some treasures. Would definitely stay here again.

We stayed at Mother Allie’s House for two nights and really enjoyed our visit. The house is very clean, and the bathrooms and kitchen are updated and well cared for. The kitchen had everything we needed for a comfortable stay, and communication from the host was superb throughout.What makes this property truly special is the history. The hosts have clearly taken great care to create a meaningful experience for guests, decorating and furnishing the home with items connected to the Smith and the Carter families. We especially appreciated the information they provided about each room, including whose room it was, details about the furnishings, and fun facts like the BB in the wall in the front bedroom.One of the coolest moments was looking at a photo of Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter in the very room where we were standing. We also loved sitting in the rocking chairs on the front porch. It rained while we were in town, but it was so peaceful to sit on the porch and listen to the rain.The owners have created a truly unique experience, especially for anyone visiting Plains to learn more about the Carters and their family. Highly recommend.

We loved our stay at Mother Allie’s House in Plains, GA. The home is full of history and character, and you can truly feel the connection to the town's past the moment you walk in. Everything was clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully prepared for guests.The location is perfect — just a short walk or drive to Plains' historic downtown, President Carter landmarks, and the peaceful small-town scenery that makes this area so special.The host was welcoming, responsive, and clearly cares about preserving the home's heritage while making sure visitors have all the modern comforts they need.If you appreciate historic homes with personality and charm, this is a wonderful place to stay. We'd happily come back again if in the area.

Dates should be to Sun, Mar 29. Absolutely "the best"! Clean, awesome showers/bathrooms, comfortable beds, wonderful pillows! So very interesting and historical. Anything you could want or need is made available. Wish we could have stayed longer. We will be back, though. And, I must explain our trip...we are 65 and 63, traveling with our 10 year old granddaughter, my 84 y/o mom and 92 y/o father-in-law. Democrats to the max. My grandfather passed on election day 1976, lived long enough for his vote for Jimmy Carter to count, that was his last wish! So, us spending the night in Rosalyn Carter's childhood home was "the best" part of our spring break trip. Our granddaughter did not know who Jimmy Carter was when we left for our Florida vacation. Now she can share all she has learned with her 4th grade class and teachers. I am so glad she loves to learn. Anyone thinking about staying here, definitely should stay!!! We certainly made some amazing memories here.

The host was welcoming and the house was very comfortable. The home has updated sofa, bathrooms, mattresses and kitchen. The back deck was a delight. This home is full of memorable photos, books written by and about the Carter presidency and their life of good works. We enjoyed our special time in Plains.
