St. Marys, GA Apartments from AED 712

Dungeness on Cumberland Island, Georgia, is a ruined mansion that is part of a historic district that was the home of several families significant in American history. James Oglethorpe first built on Cumberland Island in 1736, building a hunting lodge that he named Dungeness. Oglethorpe named the place after Dungeness, in England. The next Dungeness was the legacy of Revolutionary War hero Nathanael Greene, who had acquired 11,000 acres of island land in exchange for a bad debt. His widow built a four-story tabby mansion in 1803, over a Timucuan shell mound. During the War of 1812 the island was occupied by the British, who used the house as a headquarters.
In 1818 Henry “Light-Horse Harry” Lee, a dashing cavalry commander during the Revolutionary War and father of Robert E. Lee, stayed at the house until his death on March 25, 1818, cared for by Greene's daughter Louisa, and was laid to rest in nearby cemetery with full military honors provided by an American fleet stationed at St. Marys, Georgia. The house was abandoned during the U.S. Civil War and burned in 1866.
In the 1880s the property was purchased by Thomas M. Carnegie, brother of Andrew Carnegie, who began to build a new mansion on the site. The 59-room Queen Anne style mansion and grounds were completed after Carnegie's death in 1886. His wife Lucy continued to live at Dungeness and built other estates for her children, including Greyfield for Margaret Carnegie, Plum Orchard for George Lauder Carnegie, and Stafford Plantation. By this time, the Carnegies owned 90% of the island.
The Carnegies moved out of Dungeness in 1925. In 1959 the Dungeness mansion was destroyed by fire, alleged to be arson. The ruins are today preserved by the National Park Service as part of Cumberland Island National Seashore. They were acquired by the Park Service in 1972.

"This small hotel so close to the beach and everything else near the village, was such a different vibe from the usual. I love the Mediterranean style, the rooftop bar and restaurant, the staff were great! Just a couple suggestions, the room I was in needs a full length mirror and/or a bigger mirror in the bathroom. It was hard to see how your outfit looked before heading out the door. Other than that I had everything I needed! "

Extended Stay America Premier Suites - Jacksonville - Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Front desk staff, Ashley T was absolutely the best!! Kind, helpful and so pleasant. We had a very late check in, issues with getting the blind down in our room and Ashley was quick to assist and had everything resolved in minutes. The bed was comfortable and the room and bathroom were clean. The “breakfast” was basic (individually wrapped muffins and granola bars) and no cold options like yogurt or hard boiled eggs. The coffee was decent. "

Embassy Suites by Hilton Brunswick

10/10 Excellent

"Everyone was very courteous… I had to leave my luggage for several hours after we checked out while we attended a graduation ceremony and the manager had no problem. The kitchen staff took the time to ask how our stay was going, as well as the housekeeping staff asking if we needed anything. I have another son graduating from FLETC in June! We will definitely return to stay here! "
