Frommer's Review

The furnishings of this B&B are a little richer, its colors a bit more evocative, and its decor more appealingly cluttered than those of many of its nearby competitors. The setting is an Italianate house (ca. 1889) set less than 2 blocks east of Forsyth Park, within a "historically correct" garden laid out as a garden might have been in Victorian times, contrary to the modernity of its swimming pool. It was originally built for Capt. Walter Coney, an army officer whose fortune derived from a then-flourishing maritime supply company. Rooms are furnished with period antiques, and each has its own distinctive Victorian-era decor. Especially appealing is the Gentleman's Parlor, a ground-floor room once dominated by men discussing manly things, which still carries a hint of the bourbon and cigars consumed liberally within its confines. More frilly and feminine is the Magnolia Room, where cream-colored walls offset a four-poster bed with upholsteries depicting -- you guessed it -- magnolia blossoms. The Cotton Exchange Room features a massive four-poster and a deck overlooking the swimming pool. Some of the rooms have fireplaces, and all have private bathrooms, most of them with showers. A hand-painted mural on the wall of the dining room -- site of morning breakfasts -- depicts a version of the history of Savannah. Children 12 and older are welcome. There's usually someone on hand to deliver a cold or warm (nonalcoholic) drink, depending on the season, to clients whenever one is needed.

Facilities:
Outdoor pool; all rooms nonsmoking
