Oglethorpe Estate Main House: A Spacious Savannah Historic District Retreat

Experience Savannah from the heart of the Historic District at Oglethorpe Estate Main House, a spacious historic residence located along East Oglethorpe Avenue. Recently refurnished with thoughtfully selected décor and updated furnishings, the home offers a welcoming atmosphere that complements its original character. Accommodating up to 10 guests, the main house features generous living and dining areas, a full kitchen, multiple sitting spaces, access to a shared courtyard, and off-street parking for up to two vehicles. Located beside Colonial Park Cemetery and surrounded by the architecture, landscaped squares, and tree-lined streets that define downtown Savannah, Oglethorpe Estate Main House places guests in an ideal location for experiencing the city on foot. Restaurants, shops, museums, historic landmarks, and many of Savannah’s best-known attractions are all within convenient reach. 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. Its spacious layout also offers separate areas where guests can read, relax, work remotely, or enjoy a quiet moment away from the group. 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. Whether you are visiting for a family vacation, reunion, wedding weekend, celebration, or getaway with friends, the home provides the space and convenience needed for a memorable stay.

Troop Visit

Overall

Our troop used this awesome old house for our week in Savannah. It was less than 5 minutes to walk to JGL's house. We were able to use the Hop on Trolley and walk everywhere we wanted to go! The house was great, perfect room set up for our group of 10. We would definitely stay here again!

Amazing Place!!

The house was so pretty and the perfect location! It was so close to everything and had great restaurants close by. Each bedroom had its own bathroom and was the perfect space for a group. The elevator was so helpful and made the loading and unloading super helpful. I would LOVE to stay here again!!

Savannah Friends Trip

Our friend group took a mini vacation for the holiday season and had the absolute best stay. The home is centrally located and we were able to walk everywhere which was fantastic! There was so much room in the house and one of our most common issues when traveling as a group is having to split bathrooms but this gorgeous home came with more than enough. We truly had the best time and are so thankful for the hospitality.

Our party of 12 enjoyed our stay. It has a great location. We walked everywhere! We enjoyed the spacious clean house with enough beds and baths for all. Parking was not a problem. It is important to know is that it does have a lot of stairs- 3 stories- which could be a problem if not prepared. There is an elevator which we did not use.

Beautiful house. Great location, perfect for a large group.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Oglethorpe house. It was spacious and clean and perfect location for walking anywhere we wanted to go. The only thing was one of the showers did not have hot water but there were plenty of other showers to use so it wasn’t a big deal. The host was very helpful and made sure we were having a great time. Would absolutely stay here again.

We fell in love with this house the moment we stepped in. It is perfectly located to walk and visit all of the squares, shops and restaurants. It was quite an adventure for my grandsons as they had never been to Savannah and are fascinated by ghost stories. While there were some plumbing issues,i these did not take away from our fun. The staff were wonderful to work with and were very proactive. Would recommend this house to anyone looking for a great place to stay in Savannah.

We loved our stay at the Oglethorpe Manor Main House. Each of us had our own bedroom and bath. The rooms were beautiful and the beds were very comfy. The first floor living space was spacious with a well-appointed kitchen, beautiful views out the window, and a first floor powder room. The elevator was very convenient for transporting luggage.The location was absolutely perfect. The house was in a peaceful area of town but never more than a 15 minute walk away from any site or restaurant we wanted to visit. The managers were incredibly responsive and reached out to us to make sure everything in our stay was satisfactory. A beautiful home in a beautiful city!

Wonderful Week!

This lovely home put us right in the middle of Savannah's exciting history and its current vibrant energy. We were able to walk to all the places we wanted to visit and when we did not want to walk too far, we always had one of several beautiful squares to enjoy sitting and relaxing. Everything in the home was comfortable. Thank you so much!

Great stay!

We had a great stay at the Main House. The rooms are big and the furnishings are comfortable. We had a miscommunication on the code for the back gate where we parked but worked it out. They were very easy to contact and responded quickly. This house is in a great location!

The perfect place for vacation!!

Overall

We stayed in this beautiful home for our “family Christmas vacation” and it was perfect. As adult couples sometimes it's hard to find places with enough private rooms/bathrooms to accommodate, and this house had plenty. The rooms were spacious and everything we needed. One of our guests hurt his foot before the trip and to our delight, the indoor elevator stopped right at a guest room so he didn't have to use the stairs unless he felt up to it. The location was great and we found many places within walking distance for food and shopping, and the neighborhood was quiet and relaxing. 100% would book again!

Big, beautiful house!

Great location! Be aware that there is a lot of stair climbing here. One flight up to enter rental, bedrooms are on second and third floor of rental. The climb is worth it if you are physically able, bedrooms large and roomy, the 4 1/2 baths is great when traveling with a large group!

I love this home. It has an elevator that is incredible for moving in and out. The rooms are huge and the beds are all very comfortable. The bathrooms are clean and everything is in working order. The kitchen is small but functional. Parking is an unexpected luxury. No w/d so more dish towels would be nice. Some people might want to know beforehand which TVs have cable and which are smart. Didn't matter to us. I didn't want to leave Sunday!
