  • Inn Details

    This inn won the award for 2004,2005, 2007, and 2008 as the most romantic inn. An elegant and warm inn. The house in the 1950's was a museum for the Daughters of the Confederacy. Stay with us and see the meaning of true Southern hospitality. It took us eleven years to restore to it's orginial splender. No detail was left out of restoration from importing crystal chandeliers, mahogany doors, and beautiful wood and marble floors. Ballroom has 12'10''ceilings . All guest rooms have a 42 inch plasma tv after all you deserve the best. All guest rooms have a spacious private bath with a seperate tub and walkin shower and hair dryer. Each morning we do a hot cooked breakfast prepared by a chief with 30 years experince and a second dining room table is set 24 hours a day with freshly baked in house, cakes, cookies, and various types of breads. Chief does share some receies. Bottled water and refergerator are provided for guests. There is a private parking lot behind the house. We feel very strongly about the guest privacy is a high priorty and at no time is any information given out.The inn is within walking distance to antique shops,house museums,civil war memorials, beautiful old church, and fine retraunts.The Confederatehouse has everything to make your trip relaxing and magical. Come and enjoy our home with us.

    Innkeeper Information

    Innkeepers Description:

    The Confederate House and the guests who stay here, telling them about Savannah, the lady of the south, local politics (I was a candidate for mayor in the last election), and Savannah's antique shops. Being a true Southern lady we can not forget clothes, horseback riding, and good food served on a beautifully set table. One of the nicest parts of the day is opening the door and saying "y'all come on in".

The wood floors are the perfect background for the thick oriental rugs. It is furnished with interesting pieces of Louis XV and XVI. For the music lovers you are welcome to play the baby grand piano. What formal room would be complete without the madamoselle bust on a mahogany stand. If you need to check how you look before leaving for the day try one of the gold framed mirrors in the ballroom. When you return you will find coffee,cookies and candy on the table waiting for you.

    Words cannot describe how much we loved staying at the Confederate House. When we decided to celebrate our 2nd anniversary in Savannah, we spent a week looking at different B&B locations. After seeing the photos of the rooms, we were sold. And the photos do not due justice to the beauty of the house and room. Colleen, owner/innkeeper, did a wonderful job making sure our stay was pleasant and comfortable. We stayed in the President Davis room and it was breathtaking. Thank you so much Colleen for making our anniversary weekend a pleasure.

    Innkeeper Response

    My husband and I stayed here the last two nights of our honeymoon before we flew back to Texas out of the Savannah airport, and we wanted a couple days to see the city. This place is conveniently located to be able to walk to many historic sites and there is a shuttle that could take you all the way down to River St. if it's too hot/inclement to walk. Rooms are very spacious, and bathrooms good, but not any amenities out of the ordinary. Best things about this place though:1) Breakfast is GREAT; truly southern and you won't go hungry! 2) The hostess/innkeeper, "Lady Williams" as the chef calls her, is very hospitable, and we enjoyed talking with her. She takes time to meet/greet her guests, and gave us plenty of advice on where to visit in the city, since she has lived there 37 yrs. The Pink House was an EXCELLENT recommendation for a fine dining experience! 3) The place is very private, with only three rooms to rent out 4) We got a great price for the value 5) The restoration she has done there is truly amazing, expecially the main ballroom downstairs. Get her to show you a picture of what the place looked like when she bought it (hint: it's in the entryway on the wall). Would stay there again if I was looking for a quiet, relaxing place with some true Southern hospitality!

    Innkeeper Response
    Thank-you for the very nice review. I have thought about what a perfectly matched couple you are and about your sharing with me how you grew up on a dairy farm. Having you stay here was our pleasure and we look forward to seeing and hearing from you in the future. Lady Colleen Williams

    My boyfriend and I planned a weekend trip to Savannah (the first visit for both of us). We knew immediately that we wanted to stay in a bed and breakfast one of those nights (who wants to stay in a chain hotel while visiting one of the most charming cities in America?). After much research, I stumbled upon the Confederate House. The pictures were beautiful and the good reviews far outweighed the bad. We decided to give it a try - and we are so glad we did! As we pulled up, I was amazed at the grandeur of the mansion - it was older, but had not lost any of its beauty or charm. As we approached the door, we were met by Ms. Colleen Williams - the owner. She was very friendly and informative - she sat us down to review the rules and would often go off on tangents about her life in Savannah. Truly a fascinating woman. As we brought our luggage into our room, we once again were amazed. The bedroom & private bathroom were HUGE. The room was clean, the furnishings charming, and the bed comfortable. We were thrilled. After spending the rest of the day walking and exploring Savannah, we came back exhausted and fell right into bed. The next morning we went down to the breakfast table to find 6 plates of food. Two couples were already seated at the table. My boyfriend and I joined the other couples for an enjoyable breakfast of french toast, sausage, and watermelon (I didn't eat the sausage - vegetarian - but the french toast was delicious!). Ms. Williams joined us at the end of breakfast for a bit of conversation before everyone departed. Overall, the Confederate House far exceeded my expectations. Originally I had worried that this B&B wouldn't be a good match for a young couple, but I was completely wrong. Ms. Williams opened her beautiful home to us and showed us true Southern hospitality. I will be telling all of my friends and family to stay here if they are ever in Savannah.

    I should have noticed the reviews were YEARS OLD...bad sign. There were pubic hairs in the sheets! Yes, you read it right. When we discovered it at 10ish (had dinner in town, ghost ride, then Leopolds icecream) we were disgusted! I called Ms. Williams (she lives on the first floor), figured she would come running right up with clean sheets, she said she would change them in the MORNING. "WHAT????" She said she put those sheets on herself and there were no hairs when she made the beds. I told her I did not care how they got there, but there are PUBIC hairs on the sheets! She said she could not do anything about it til morning. She acted as if I was lying and hung up! I pulled several hairs out of the sheets and put them on the white cookie plate so she could clearly see that I was not making this up. In the meantime, there were no other rooms at nearby hotels, ( it was Music Festival weekend), so we were stuck. My son and his wife, slept on the beadspred with ALL THEIR CLOTHES on, as did my daughter in my room, as not to touch the sheets. We left as soon as possible (7am), trying to reach Ms.Williams to no avail. Ms Williams finally answered the phone at 9:15 and accused me and my family of 'trying to get the charges dismissed', "I know your kind of people" were her words... and then said there were "no hairs" and I was just trying to have a free stay, that we were drunk, loud, and disruptive.... then hung up the phone. When I called back to ask for some kind of compensation and explain that I had even left hairs on the plate, she totally denied that they were there...thank goodness I had taken pictures.... she called me back later to say she had received my threating phone message (I said I would write about my trip on trip advisor and call the Savanah Chamber), she said she was going to "call my neighbors and my work place and tell them how my drunk family acted at her place!"

    I have read this untruthful review this is the second time she has posted on bed and breakfast .com the 1st was removed when I pointed the places she tripped herself up on her untruthful statements. So I guess she deceided to rewrite it and remove the parts where she tripped herself up. By the way there are 10,000 rooms in the historic district I find it hard to believe every single one was rented. So many people who have stayed with us were so kind to me far out weigh those who are not so nice.

    Positives were location, comfy bed, big TV, large rooms, French toast & bacon. Negatives far outweigh positives: 22 steps from sidewalk to grand ballroom 22 more steps to bedroom level Taxi drop off and parking in back of house, no sidewalk, just cement stones-hard rolling bag Crude hand lettered signs on front door-no sign Confederate House Upper floor was 90 degrees upon our arrival, were not escorted to our room Thermostat/AC was off-upper floor did cool to 72 by evening Towels old with frayed edges No towel bar, hooks or cabinet in large bathroom-just a small wood TV tray 2 small lamps on bedroom dresser had no bulbs Styrofoam cup on bathroom sink Rough caulking/homemade repair at bathroom sink Pump soap only, a little inconvenient when showering 2 huge windows in bathroom, sheer curtain-no shades King bed high off floor-no step stool Only 2 pillows, unless the pillows with shams count, did not use those Inside stairway was not clean-cobwebs, grass, hairs seen on stairs Inside stairway painted white with a gray runner in center, bad remodel Grand ballroom sparsely furnished, decor unattractive Outside stairway dusty, handrails dusty Porch big, only one wicker chair and table, 3 plants in plastic throw away pots, 2 looked dead I have never stayed in such a huge b&b. I have never had such a poor experience either. Lady Colleen Williams needs to hire better housekeeper and general upkeep staff, if she wants to improve her business.

    Innkeeper Response
    I know who these two ladies from Texas are they have been harrassing us directly and indirectly wanting a refund after staying here one night. We had discounted their room from $225.00 to $135.00 plus tax. When they came they appeared in my opionto be in a snit with each other and when they left it appeared they were not speaking to each other. Matter of fact the one lady complained to our chief about the other lady. The thrill of being an inkeeper when people get upset with each other we are the only one left to take it out on. Maybe now that they are back in Texas they will be happier.
