The local people are warm, inviting, and friendly and it is not uncommon for locals to include guests in social gatherings. If you visit Saint Marys, you will love it and many decide to make it home. A visiting friend once told us 'I never thought I would want to live anywhere but Atlanta where my family and children are, but I'm ready to call my boss and tell him I'm not coming back'! ## Property amenities ### Internet -

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. ](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/183129/da822be8-9e4e-4836-b8eb-eb9095b8741d.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Cumberland Island National Seashore 4 min walk \- 0.3 miles - ![USA, Georgia, Cumberland Island National Seashore](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/553248621561892267/ad691687-fe9a-45c5-b8a8-7b4575cae5d3.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Cumberland Island National Seashore Visitor Center 6 min walk \- 0.4 miles - St. Marys Submarine Museum 7 min walk \- 0.4 miles - St. Marys Welcome Center 8 min walk \- 0.4 miles ### Getting around - Jacksonville International Airport (JAX) 39 min drive ### Restaurants - Wendy's 5 min drive - Subway 5 min drive - Sonic Drive-In 6 min drive - Arby's 6 min drive - Brackish Beer Company 3 min drive ## Frequently asked questions ### Is The Cottage pet-friendly? ### What time is check-in at The Cottage? ### What time is check-out at The Cottage? ### Where is The Cottage located? ## Have a question?

The cottage is well appointed and very comfortable with beautiful decor. Our host, Don, stepped over our first evening there to welcome us while we were enjoying a glass of wine on the cottage porch overlooking the marsh and his historic home. He could not have been nicer. While all of downtown St. Mary's was just 2 blocks away, we felt like we were at our own little retreat. We certainly plan to stay there again on future visits. ##### Charles F.

The cottage is cozy and has all the modern conveniences. Windows, Views...Oh My! Sitting in the Rocking Chair on the deck with the incredible breeze was a favorite. The location is perfect. Great for morning walks through historic St. Marys and 1 block from the waterfront and the Cumberland Island Ferry. The Host, Don, was also exceptional. He greeted me on arrival and gave me a tour of the property. He even offered to show me around Downtown St. Marys in his golf cart. Don is very friendly but gives plenty of privacy. The perfect Host.

A++ Our stay was wonderful. The property is set off the road and overlooks the marshes. The sunrises were indescribably beautiful and the landscaping around the property was impeccable. Our studio was very comfortable. It is on a shared property, but we never felt we lacked privacy. The way the cottage sits all windows face an open view.Our host, Don, was gracious and hospitable. Melody and Jaune who caretake and manage the rental checked to see we were enjoying ourselves but we were allowed plenty of space and solitude.I would recommend this property to any family and friends that may visit St. Mary’s. The town was pleasant to walk with our dogs, the streets shaded by huge oaks and lined by pretty houses.There are several restaurants in town within walking distance but we made use of our fully equipped kitchen almost exclusively. Overall we had an excellent time.We hope to visit again! ##### Cassie L.

The cottage is nice but full of knickknacks. There is very little available space , and the TV is small and very far away from the sofa. ##### Miriam W. Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2022 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 11 Dec 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### First time in St Marys We really enjoyed the property. It's a beautiful, somewhat secluded spot with a great view of the marsh and ICW. The cottage was perfect for two people and very well equipped. We met the owner when we arrived and he showed us around. He's a very personable gentleman who we enjoyed meeting. St Marys is a small town on the ICW with interesting history. Several good restaurants and shops. Its not very commercialized which makes it more appealing to us. The boat parade Saturday night was enjoyable as was the tree lighting in the park. We plan to go back when we can stay longer and take the ferry to Cumberland Island. Can't think of anything we didn't like about the cottage or the property in general. We also drove to Amelia Island (30 minutes) to the Charles Dickens Christmas deal. It was great and we'll go back to that. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2022 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Elaine W. 3 Nov 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Adorable Cottage with gorgeous views Mr. Don was very accommodating.

It was cozy, secluded, but walking distance from downtown. I woke up to an uninterrupted sunrise view of the marsh and intercoastal. At night, you can marvel at the lights over at Fernandina across the river. The process to check in and check out was super easy. The place is tidy and just outright comfortable. The bed was super comfortable and much needed after each day of exploring downtown and traveling for work. The caretakers were awesome and the folks that stayed in the main house were also super pleasant. Loved it here. Hated having to leave to go back to work! ##### Lynsey N.
