Everything! Perfect location near Forsyth Park. The house has modern conveniences with the ambiance of a 1980’s Victorian. Leslie(the owner) has outfitted the house beautifully with well appointed antiques.

We enjoyed everything. It was great also to have the DOT available so close by especially since we did have some rain. I also liked being able to sit in the living room in the main house. It gave me a chance to talk with Leslie and it was nice being welcomed into the main house.

Host Info

Host Review Score
Built in 1886, rescued by Historic Savannah Foundation in 1983 and reintroduced to Savannah as the 1984 Designer Show House, this inn reflects the spirit of Savannah. The architectural details original to the home have been maintained and enhanced. Various sun porches and courtyard provide guests with a cozy outdoor atmosphere even in cooler weather. Guest rooms all include a private bathroom and focus on creating a comfortable guest experience.
A Seattle native and far from home, Leslie lives on property. Not particularly fond of the concept of renting rooms in her home; Leslie assumed the attitude that she’d just be having lots of company. When you arrive you’ll feel welcomed like you’re visiting friends; and when you leave you’ll feel like you’ve been with family. An experienced hotelier, Leslie (and her Catherine Ward House Inn family) makes all details of your experience at the Inn seem as if you’re experiencing the essence of Savannah!
The Catherine Ward House is located on a quiet street in the Victorian District, steps away from the Historic District’s south border. A walk through the Historic District is only one mile beginning at Forsyth Park and ending at the Savannah River. You will stroll through multiple parks and almost 300 years of history. Ours is a residential neighborhood with free parking, tennis courts, grocery store, pharmacy, restaurants, coffee house with emphasis on vegan treats, European wine shop, and health food store. We’re only ½ block from Forsyth Park home to many enduring events including: o Saturday Farmers’ Market o Concerts in the Park o Book Festivals o Jewish Food Festival o Annual Running Events o St. Patrick’s Day Parade Staging Area
