Catherine Ward House Inn

Frommer's Review

The restoration of this house has won several civic awards, and it's so evocative of Savannah's "carpenter Gothic" Victorian revival that Clint Eastwood inserted a long, graceful shot of its exterior in Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. Built by a sea captain for his wife (Catherine Ward) in 1886 in a location a short walk from Forsyth Park, it offers one of the most lavishly decorated interiors of any B&B in Savannah, but at prices that are significantly less than those offered at better-known B&Bs a few blocks away. Leslie Larson, the owner and innkeeper, maintains a policy that discourages children under 14. A garden in back encourages languid sun-dappled dialogues. Each midsize guest room is richly decorated.

Facilities:
Breakfast room; tennis courts (nearby); all rooms nonsmoking
