The Space:
The prized 'Wedding Cake Mansion' is the jewel of Monterey Square and is one of the most beautiful areas in Savannah. The square is graced by mansions on all corners, with languid Live Oaks, draped in Spanish Moss and anchored with historic monuments.
This 1869 2nd Empire Baroque Mansion takes your breath the minute you see it. The elaborate white bay window is so ornately decorated with stained glass windows and ornamental iron work that the long time residents of Savannah have always said it resembles an elegantly decorated 'wedding cake'. This architecture is very unique to Savannah with only a few examples remaining in the Historic District. The French influence is carried throughout the house with vintage French antiques and art. The bedrooms are a resplendent escape and the en-suite bathrooms offer every luxurious accouterments expected from the savvy, refined traveler.
This includes ALL parts of the property: The 4 floors of the Main House AND the 1 bedroom Carriage House that is over the garage. Guests from the carriage house can walk through the garage and courtyard into the back doors of the main house to join other guests.

We had an amazing birthday celebration with our group. The house was beautiful, furnished with amenities and located within walking distance of everything we needed. The host was responsive to our questions and comments. We would most definitely stay here again.
This property is even more spacious and beautiful than it looks in the listing and was the perfect setting for the 13 of us to meet in Savannah for a reunion. The kitchen was well stocked, allowing us to prepare meals, and the dining room was a comfortable size for us to eat together. The location is just around the corner from Forsyth Park, on a quiet street, and within walking distance to everything we did during our weekend stay.
The location was perfectly located and we walked everywhere. The house is absolutely spectacular. My husband and I celebrated our 50th with family and friends, we had 8 couples including us and it was very spacious. I love every detail in the house, so many hidden gems. I would recommend this house a million times. Savannah is truly a magical, whimsical city.
We are a group of 7 couples aged 65 to 69 that have been friends since high school and college. Savannah was beautiful with lots of interesting things to do and this property was perfectly located to everything either by walking or relatively cheap Uber. The dining room was perfect for doing an in home dinner for everyone as well.
To begin we loved loved loved the Wedding Cake House. It was so inviting and beautiful to stay. Plenty space for 15 w/ our own bathrooms and at night it was so quiet. We enjoyed eating together in the dining room and the kitchen was definitely a great hang out too. We made the trip to eat at my Nephews new restaurant “Brochu’s Family Tradition” and trust me we would given it 6 stars or more if we could. So if you add the house, location and Andrew’s restaurant it was one of Our Top vacations.
We also had dessert at Better than Sex restaurant and that was a real treat too. The parks were beautiful and walking distance to sooo many. Look forward to returning to Savannah. Maybe we will come in the fall next time :).
Great place to stay for our girls trip. It was very nice that everyone had their own private bathroom! Home is close to everything. The kitchen is well stocked!
Everything else was just us that we were told the only thing that was a little bothering was the construction in the building next to us, but other than that, it was outstanding
Historic, nostalgic, and beautiful place. Is like going to the past and discovering how Americans lived.
We had a great time celebrating our friend’s 90 birthday. The management even sent her a bouquet of flowers. We absolutely recommend this place. Thank you!

Extraordinarily Exceptional
This property will exceed all your expectations! Ever nook & cranny is beautifully decorated. We had 13 women staying in this stunning home & a total of 20 visiting. Perfect location. Ability to walk everywhere. Highly recommended.
The property was the perfect location, very clean and great for a large group. The drinkware was very well stocked for both coffee in the mornings and drinks during the day. Could use some updated pots and pans but that only matters if you plan to cook a lot vs eating at Savannah's fantastic restaurants. There were 14 people in our group - originally supposed to be 16 but due to outside circumstances, just 14 of us. The property description states that there are 8 bedrooms with 6 kings and 2 queens but upon arrival, there were only 7 bedrooms - 5 kings and 2 queens. It didn't end up being an issue for us since we were down 2 people, but just be aware when booking. I understand that there is two pull out couches but in the description it seems like these pull out options are in addition to the 8 bedrooms. Other than that, I would gladly suggest The Wedding Cake Mansion to any group traveling to Savannah :)
I will be booking my return to Savannah very soon. This is the only house I will stay for our visit. So much room and walking distance to all the sights. I highly recommend the Wedding Cake Collection Home. This was perfect for our parent's 50th anniversary!

Reviewer Comments:
The home was perfect and the host was very communicative and helpful throughout our stay. Would definitely recommend this place for location as well - right in the middle of historic Savannah.
We had a destination wedding in Savannah and I wanted a place for our two families to stay together. This property was perfect for us. Everyone enjoyed the beauty of the facility, the furnishings and the many small touches. It allowed my family to get to know her family in an intimate setting. Every couple had a private room that was nicely appointed. The photos online do not do this place justice.
Three-generation family reunion. We rented the entire 3 units of the Wedding Cake House collection. There was plenty of room for the 14 of us.
Fabulous historic home in a great location- walking distance to restaurants, shops and Savannah landmarks.

This is an amazing house, kept in perfect condition and a wonderful place for a large group to be together in one of the most beautiful neighborhoods in Savannah. Most bedrooms had ensuite bath, and the few that didn't were just across/down a hall. Full kitchen (actually multiple kitchens), long longn dining room table to fit a crowd, ample seating for conversations. Just a lovely place.

We rented the mansion for a reunion for several friends. It was just what we wanted and they all had a great time. They loved the property, its charm, location and style.
Our son and his beautiful wife chose Savannah for a destination wedding. Our immediate family (our married children and grandchildren) stayed at the Wedding Cake Mansion. We could not have found a more perfect place to stay. This beautiful home became our home for a few days and we fell in love with it. Thank it!
My husband and I were married on 2/19/22 in Savannah and no other place could have been more perfect than the Wedding cake mansion. That being said, it's not without faults. In my opinion, it's time the property receive some in-depth maintenance so it's incredible beauty won't be dimmed for future visitors. The bathroom by the kitchen in the main house has a nearly-broken doorknob and the paint on the toilet seat is chipped. The cushion fillings in all the seats are worn and sagging, almost non-existent. The blue chairs in the living room and the chairs in the dinning room are stained and could use some deep cleaning or reupholstery. The courtyard and front steps need a deep pressure clean because they're very dirty. There are paint touch-ups throughout the property that are blatantly visible because the colors don't match up perfectly with the rest of the wall and they were done quite sloppily. There were several lightbulbs in the 3 properties that needed replacement because they'd gone out. Lastly, the third floor of the main house was uncomfortably warm on a pleasant February day - even with the ceiling fans turned on so I cannot imagine it in the Summer. Again, I wouldn't have stayed anywhere else but it's precisely because the property is so magnificent that these things which can be easily fixed are such big eye sores. Would love to stay again with my family in the future.

Everything was great. Very beautiful home. We ran into two problems. 1. The sink in the master bathroom got backed up and started to leak on the floor. We got everything cleaned up but someone should look into it. 2. The towels in the place were of poor quality and there were not enough. We had several of the people staying with us complain. Overall these were not huge issues and everything was great but we wanted to let you know.

Reviewer Comments:
The house is beautiful and even going up 2 flights of stairs was not bad. On the first night the people that stayed on the third floor noticed a water leak that seemed to be coming through the ceiling fan. A trash can was placed to catch the water and a call was placed to the management. A second call was placed the next day when no one showed. This time, we advised that the water was now going into the second floor. The problem was fixed the next day. (Pump malfunction). Personal Items were left in kitchen and a call was placed to have them located. They were and was told they would be mailed. That was 2 weeks ago. Value over $200 but still waiting. The location is great and the facility is indicative of the old South.
