Summary:
Placed perfectly on the west end of Jones Street where you will find some peace and quiet, sits our historic 1854 town home. As its name subtly gives away, the Jesse Mount House was, indeed built for Jesse Mount, a prominent Savannah businessman. The 4-story building was most recently converted to be a fully equipped 5 bedroom B&B. We are offering our extremely spacious garden level apartment for up to 4 people. With a stunning courtyard, 2 large bathrooms, and cozy fireplaces this tranquil setting is perfect for couples or friends looking for some much needed relaxation.
The Space:
Aside from the apartment itself offering plenty of space, the main bedroom offers a King bed with rocking chairs and a super cozy fireplace. The second room has a queen bed and private exit/entrance to Jones Street for those who like to sneak out for their own adventures :) The living large living or great room has a big L couch and plenty of space to hang out and lounge. In here we offer built in desk space, a card table and a Smart TV. We offer 2 huge bathrooms, both of which have a shower and tub, with the larger one offering a working Jacuzzi tub! The fully equipped kitchen has plenty of space to cook for those seeking longer stays and the breakfast nook is a perfect place to sit and read the paper in the early morning. Access to the pristine courtyard is just through the french doors in the kitchen.
Guest Access:
Aside from the entire garden level apartment being all yours, we do offer access to the washer/dryer if needed. it is straight across the courtyard into the carriage house. Give us a heads up if you plan to use this. You may use the courtyard at your leisure but be respectful of quiet hours as this part of the property is shared with the main house.
The Neighborhood:
This original cobblestone street really is the absolute prettiest in all of Savannah. We have had several movie scenes and dozens of wedding photos shot here. We are just a block over from Mrs. WIlkes Dining Room and two blocks from Crystal Beer Parlor. The famous Clary's Cafe is just a few blocks east and we are minutes from Broughton Street, River Street and Forsyth Park!
As you have probably heard, you are allowed to Drink n' Walk in Savannah! If you choose to walk around town with a drink (and I don't mean grape juice) then you will just need to put it in a "to-go" cup (can get these at any bar!) They do not allow you to walk around with disposable cans or bottles so be sure to use a plastic cup.
Getting Around:
Aside from being able to walk to everything, if you should need a ride, we suggest taking Uber/Lyft as parking can be a nightmare. There is also a FREE shuttle bus called The Dot that connects you all around town and it is just around the corner at Whitaker and Jones. This runs until midnight on Friday and Saturday nights!
Other Things to Note:
Be sure to bring your walking shoes! The historical nature of Savannah and its's breathtaking architecture also means lots of uneven surfaces around town! It's part of the fun :)
