Whether you are planning a family vacation, reunion, wedding weekend, or getaway with friends, the home provides plenty of room for everyone to stay together.

After a full day of sightseeing, return to a comfortable home base where your group can gather, prepare a meal, and settle into the relaxed pace of Savannah.
Recently Refurnished Living and Dining Spaces
Oglethorpe Estate Main House has been recently refurnished with updated pieces and thoughtfully selected décor that complement the character of the historic residence. The interiors feel fresh and inviting while still allowing the home's original architectural details to remain an important part of the experience. Hardwood floors, tall windows, classic trim, and generously sized rooms reflect the traditional character found throughout Savannah's Historic District. The main house begins on the second level of the building, above the separate garden-level unit. Upon entering the main living spaces, guests will find a comfortable setting designed for gathering. Leather sofas provide ample seating for larger groups, making the living room a natural place to reconnect after a day spent exploring downtown. Settle in for an evening of conversation, plan the next day's activities, or simply enjoy a slower moment together before heading out to dinner. Tall windows allow natural light to fill the room, while the home's architectural details provide a sense of history and character. The generous floor plan helps the living area feel open and comfortable, even when the entire group is gathered in one place.
Nearby, the formal dining area offers a dedicated setting for shared meals, morning coffee, or an evening spent at home. The dining space allows everyone to come together without feeling crowded, whether you are enjoying takeout from a nearby restaurant or preparing a meal in the kitchen. The full kitchen includes full-size appliances, ample cabinetry, and generous counter space for storing groceries, drinks, and vacation essentials. Guests can prepare breakfast before heading out for the day, pack snacks for an afternoon of sightseeing, or enjoy a relaxed dinner without leaving the property. The combination of a complete kitchen and a formal dining area makes the main house especially convenient for families and groups planning an extended stay. In addition to the primary living and dining spaces, several bedrooms include their own sitting areas. These smaller spaces give guests additional options for relaxing throughout the home and make it easier for different members of the group to follow their own schedules.
Sleeping Accommodations for Up to 10 Guests
Sleeping accommodations are arranged across the upper levels of the main house, with a total of two king beds and four queen beds. Each bedroom has been furnished to provide a comfortable and welcoming place to unwind at the end of the day. On the second level of the main house, the first bedroom features two queen beds. The airy room offers plenty of space for guests to unpack and settle in, while its fresh design creates a relaxing atmosphere. A sitting area within the bedroom adds to the room's generous layout and provides an additional place to read, enjoy a cup of coffee, or relax before heading out for the day.
The second bedroom on this level features a king bed surrounded by serene colors and layered accents. Two armchairs create a separate sitting area within the room, giving guests a comfortable place to relax outside of the main living room. This bedroom also includes an ensuite bathroom with a tub and shower combination, providing added privacy and convenience. Continue to the third level of the main house, where two additional bedrooms offer their own distinct styles and spacious layouts. One bedroom features two queen beds along with a sitting area, making it a convenient option for guests sharing a room. The additional seating creates a comfortable space to unwind and gives the bedroom a more open, flexible feel. The final bedroom includes a king bed and its own sitting area. Thoughtfully selected furnishings, comfortable bedding, and a spacious arrangement make this room another inviting retreat within the home. With four bedrooms distributed across two levels, the main house provides flexibility for families, couples, and groups of friends traveling together. Guests can enjoy shared spaces throughout the day while still having comfortable bedrooms and sitting areas to return to when they are ready to relax.
Shared Courtyard and Private Parking
Outside, guests of the main house have access to the property's courtyard, which is shared with the separate garden-level unit. Outdoor seating provides an easy place to enjoy morning coffee, spend a little time in the fresh air, or unwind after exploring the city. A grill is also available for guests who would like to prepare a casual meal outdoors. The courtyard offers a welcome change of pace from the activity of downtown Savannah. It provides an additional gathering space beyond the home's interior and allows guests to enjoy the city's mild coastal climate during their stay. Oglethorpe Estate Main House also includes off-street parking for up to two vehicles. Parking is an especially valuable convenience in Savannah's Historic District, where street spaces may be limited or metered. Guests can park at the property and explore many nearby destinations without needing to move their vehicles throughout the day. Because of the home's central location, walking is often one of the easiest and most enjoyable ways to experience the surrounding area. Guests can leave their vehicles at the property while visiting nearby squares, restaurants, museums, shops, and historic landmarks.
Stay in the Heart of Savannah's Historic District
Oglethorpe Estate Main House places guests within convenient reach of Savannah's most recognizable historic sites and downtown destinations. Colonial Park Cemetery is beside the property, while Oglethorpe Square, Columbia Square, and the Owens-Thomas House & Slave Quarters are all nearby. Continue toward Broughton Street for shopping, coffee, dining, and local boutiques. City Market, Bay Street, and River Street also offer restaurants, galleries, entertainment, and views along the Savannah River. The Historic District's walkable layout makes it easy to explore the city at your own pace. Tour a historic home, enjoy lunch at a neighborhood restaurant, or wander beneath moss-draped live oaks as you pass landscaped squares, historic churches, brick sidewalks, and preserved architecture. With accommodations for up to 10 guests, a full kitchen, generous living and dining areas, multiple sitting spaces, access to a shared courtyard, two off-street parking spaces, and a highly walkable location, Oglethorpe Estate Main House offers a comfortable home base for experiencing Savannah.
