Wondering what the best places are to visit while you are in Savannah?  Here are the top five places!

 

Forsyth Park

Forsyth Park is the largest and one of the most beautiful parks in Savannah.  The Olde Savannah Inn is only steps away from this magnificent wonder. Forsyth Park was originally created in the 1840's, named for Georgia governor John Forsyth, and covers 30 acres, equip with a cafe, large field area for sports, Confederate memorials, a place for events such as the Savannah Jazz Festival, and a French inspired fountain that is a must-see in Savannah. 

 

Tybee Island

Tybee Island is located just a few miles from Savannah, with miles of beaches, great seafood restaurants, and a lighthouse built in 1773!  The Tybee museum chronicles Tybee's 400 history with relics and historical items. Make sure to visit the Pier and Pavilion for fishing, specials events, and a gorgeous view of the ocean!

 

Historic River Street

Take a stroll down Savannah's River Street and be transported back into time with cobblestone roads, trolleys, and festivals.  Enjoy some of the best of what Savannah's restaurants have to offer, sip down a refreshing adult-slushy while you walk, and stop by the many famous shops and candy stores.  The river is nothing short of amazing and is famously died green for the St. Patrick's Day celebration!

 

Bonventure Cemetery

This is not to be missed!  Huge, centuries old Magnolia trees, gothic statues, and hundreds of years of history lie in this cemetery.  Once known for it's famous statue that graced the cover of Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, this 100-acre cemetery is now home to Holocaust memorials and colonial legends.  

 

The Olde Savannah Inn

Yes, that's us!   But we are truthfully a great historic sight to see in Savannah! Located on historic Gaston Street, this luxurious Savannah Bed and Breakfast has been restored to its original charm with grand chandeliers, French antiques, wrought iron gates, and a hidden garden.  This is a true hidden gem in Savannah and is one of a kind.  The Olde Savannah Inn is only a short walk from all of the other places mentioned above (Tybee is driving distance).

 

We hope this guide will help you have the best possible time while you are visiting Savannah!

See you soon!

Just Had to Share!

We work hard so you can experience the finest accommodations in Savannah's historic district. This really made our day when we read this comment from one of our happy guests:

Dear Kathleen,

 

Maker of joy! Deliverer of hospitality! Transformer of the lost, in the beautiful and magnificent! creator of food that nourishes the soul. The best cuisine and most imaginative we've had in Savannah!  You not only have our deepest gratitude, but our friendship. This inscription was written in our (Founding Brother's Book by Joseph J. Ellis) in The Olde Savannah library on departure day. 

 

The men whose lives are described in this book, like you, undertook the impossible. They took enormous risks, they worked toward a vision of a better world. Some lost their lives, others lost their fortunes, but none lost their honor.They gave us our country....the finest, most prosperous and powerful nation on earth. Take courage and heart from them. In a sense, each time you welcome a guest, you also welcome these noble patriots to come in and rest, eat, and sleep comfortably.They all deserved a stay at The Olde Savannah Inn.

Dakota, our black Labrador retriever has welcomed guests to our Savannah Bed & Breakfast for the past six years.  He passed a few days ago and will be greatly missed by our staff and returning friends.

Not only did he love to greet the guests, he was known to gently nudge them toward the parlor to enjoy some after dinner port wine. 

We greatly appreciate the comments made by our friends on Facebook.  Although our inn will be a bit lonely without Dakota, we gladly welcome small well-trained dogs to come and stay with us.
