My husband and I spent two nights at The Ballastone June of 2011. This was our first stay at a bed and breakfast. We were unsure of how it would be. The mansion was beautiful and the courtyard was our favorite place at the inn. We stayed in a courtyard room "Low Country". The room was lovely, quaint and comfortable.... More

We are sorry that these guests were not satisfied. Guests all know that rooms in the mansion are based on size and location and often how elegantly appointed which will determine the price With all bnbs and Inns this is true. There are less expensive rooms, always and likewise, suites and superior which guests pay premium for. The guests booked... More

The decor and ambience were firat rate, But what made it special was the staff. They not only arranged for a rental car for us, but when it turned out the only available car that day was at the airport, without our asking they had a staff member drive us out to the airport to pick it up on our...

After searching on the internet for a Honeymoon Destination in Savannah, I was anxious to find the memorable weekend for our celebration. The minute we were greeted at the front door was more than what we had hoped for. The Inn is perfection. Our suite was beautiful. The decor, the gas burning fireplace and the ambience of our suite was... More

What a chore to select a B&B in Savannah. There are so many to compare they almost all begin to blur. What clinched it for us were a couple of things. Location is important since our goal was to park and not touch our car again until check-out. High tea is a big plus for us. We travel to England... More

My wife and I spent four nights at the Ballastone Inn in early January. We selected the Oglethorpe State Room on the fourth floor because of its comfortable sitting area and fireplace. We chose well. In all respects, the room, the inn and the people who run it met our high expectations (at $300+ per night, expectations should be high).... More

We stayed at the Ballastone Inn between Christmas and New Year. It was a wonderful escape after a very busy holiday season. We stayed in Rhett Butler's retreat, and the linens were exquisite, we did not want to get out of bed in the mornings. The accommodations, as well as the attentiveness of the staff, made our stay in Savannah... More
