Catherine Ward House Inn

It isn't as spectacular or desirable as it was when it was newer, but 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 13 and under. A garden in back encourages languid sun-dappled dialogues. Each midsize guest room is richly decorated.

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