No trip to Georgia is complete without a visit to Savannah, the oldest city in the state. With several museums, parks, and historical sites, Savannah appeals to travelers of all ages, making it one of the most popular destinations in Georgia. When you are planning historic Savannah vacations, you don’t have to settle for a tiny hotel room miles away from all the action. Southern Belle offers Savannah vacation rentals with all the comforts of home. One of those rentals is Mint Julep Main, a property located in the heart of historic Savannah. If you want easy access to shops, restaurants and historical sites, book Mint Julep Main for your next visit.
Located on Jones Street, Mint Julep Main is close to some of the most popular destinations in Savannah. The house has four bedrooms, making it the ideal vacation rental for up to eight people. For your convenience, Mint Julep Main also has four bathrooms, making it easy for everyone in your group to get ready for group activities. Like our other Savannah vacation rentals, Mint Julep Main has cable television, wireless Internet access and all the kitchen appliances you need to prepare delicious meals during your stay. Southern Belle provides all linens, eliminating the need to pack your own sheets and blankets. The large porch, wood floors and fireplaces are sure to make your historic Savannah vacations as memorable as possible.
One of the best features of our downtown Savannah rentals is that they are located so close to all the action. Mint Julep Main is within walking distance of Forsyth Park, the largest park in the historic district. Forsyth Park is a popular destination for locals who want to soak up the sun, participate in recreational activities or listen to live musicians. For travelers, Forsyth Park is the ideal place to relax and take pictures to commemorate your visit. Stop by the grand iron fountain if you want a gorgeous backdrop for your vacation photos. Built in 1858, the fountain looks similar to many of the fountains found in France. Forsyth Park covers 30 acres of land, giving you plenty of room to spread out and enjoy your all of your historic Savannah vacations.
If you love the outdoors, Savannah is the ideal city to explore via bicycle or boat. Several companies offer bicycle-rental services, so there is no need to bring your own bike to the city. If you do want to bring your own bicycle, there is plenty of room to store it at Mint Julep Main. Warm weather and flat roads make Savannah the ideal place to enjoy a relaxing ride. If you prefer boats to bikes, take a dinner cruise on one of the city’s riverboats. These cruises give visitors a bird’s-eye view of the historic district and all it has to offer. End the evening with a relaxing walk back to Mint Julep Main.
Booking one of our downtown Savannah rentals makes it easy to visit the city’s many museums. Telfair Museums has nearly 4,000 works of art on display, so there is sure to be something for everyone in your group. The museum is more than 100 years old, but the permanent collection features works from as early as the 1700s. Mint Julep Main is also near SCAD Museum of Art, a facility managed by the Savannah College of Art and Design. In addition to a large collection of contemporary art, the museum is home to the Walter O. Evans collection of African-American art and the Earle W. Newton collection of British and American art. For history buffs, the Georgia State Railroad Museum is a must-see attraction. Guided tours are available, but visitors are also encouraged to explore the museum on their own, giving you the flexibility you need to enjoy your historic Savannah vacations.
Our downtown Savannah rentals are close to many historic sites. Located on East Harris Street, the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist is more than 100 years old. Parishioners originally established a small church in 1779, but they chose a larger building site in the early 1800s. This building has been renovated several times, but it still retains much of its historic charm. Bonaventure Cemetery, located east of Savannah, was featured in Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. The cemetery was originally a plantation, but it was sold to a private buyer in 1846. Eventually, the City of Savannah purchased the land and turned it into a public cemetery. Bonaventure Cemetery is home to the graves of Hugh W. Mercer, a Confederate general, photographer Jack Leigh, and John Allen Croskeys Royall, the former president of the New England Oil Company. Savannah is also the birthplace of Juliette Gordon Low, the woman who founded the Girl Scouts of America.
