What's nearby

  • Designed by John S. Norris for General Hugh Weedon Mercer, construction of the house began in 1860. Construction was interrupted by the American Civil War, and finally completed around 1868 by the new owner, John Wilder. 

Before Hansford's death, as retold in Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, the house had already been the scene of two deaths. In 1913, a previous owner tripped over the second floor banister, fractured his hip, and suffered a concussion, dying three days later. In 1964, a boy chasing pigeons on the roof fell over the edge and impaled himself on the iron fence below.

This place was perfect for a long weekend in Savannah. It was just what we needed for our getaway. It was pretty clean, couple stains on the couch from is probably wear and tear, the bathroom floor could have been swept a little better, but otherwise it was pristine. The only concern I had is in regards to check-in. The initial email I received when I booked the stay said that I would receive two emails, one prior to my stay, in addition to the one confirming my stay, plus one after 10 AM the day of check-in. The email said that the one prior to my stay would include check-in information. When I reached out to the host the morning of our check-in about the hoping to just drop our luggage in the apartment prior to check-in, I felt I was treated in a rude manner. They were more than happy to let me put my luggage there and told me I needed to enter through the lane. At this point, I didn’t have any directions about the check-in process (it wasn’t past 10 yet but I should have received another email) so I wasn’t sure what they meant, when I inquired about it, I was told to follow the directions and given a sassy response. Sure enough after 10 AM I got all of the check-in directions that I needed, and everything was smooth from there. I did reach out letting them know I was all set, but never heard back.
