The Wedding Cake Main House
Summary:
Live in the lap of luxury in this historically preserved 1869 mansion just steps from Forsyth Park. With 5 bedrooms and 5.5 baths, The Wedding Cake Main House sleeps 10 guests. Located on Monterey Square it is perfect for 5 couples, families or group retreats.
The Space:
One of Savannah’s most photographed and famous houses. It is truly one of the finest homes in the South East. It is now available as a luxury vacation rental.
This 1869 2nd Empire Baroque Home takes your breath the minute you see it. The Award Winning Mansion shows off an elaborate white bay window is so ornately decorated with stained glass windows and ornamental iron work that the long time residents of Savannah have always said it resembles an elegantly decorated 'wedding cake'.
The prized 'Wedding Cake Mansion' is the jewel of Monterey Square. The historical square was made famous from being featured in the movie 'Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil'. Monterey Square is unquestionably the most beautiful square in Savannah. The square is graced by mansions on all corners, draped in Spanish moss and anchored with historic monuments.
The common spaces, Living Room, Dining Room, Kitchen and Keeping Room are elegantly decorated to meet the historic refinement of the historic home. Five regal bedrooms each with luxurious en suite bathrooms offer private sanctuary away from your group.
The gourmet kitchen has custom designed cabinetry, top of the line stainless steel appliances and granite counter tops will make the everyday chef or the culinary master feel at home.

Beautiful property, so lovingly restored and styled and in the perfect location to explore Savannah. The hosts were also really accommodating and communicative - they helped with extended checkout even past the time they stipulate on their policies. Can't say how much we loved the stay, thank you!
This place was as advertised Easy access to our family reunion location on Tybee Island. Quick and easy check in. We occupied entire house giving access to both kitchens and five bedrooms which were equipped with everything we needed. Deck was a pleasant addition. Perfect for my extended family. Lots of stairs, definitely got my work-out in.
This home is beautiful and truly takes you back in time while still having all of the modern amenities. This is our second stay in this property and would highly recommend it to anyone!
We stayed at the Wedding Cake Mansion to celebrate my 60th birthday. The house was beautiful and perfectly located for all our festivities! We could walk almost everywhere and enjoyed the many beautiful homes and squares of Savannah.

This property is amazing. We were having a reunion with friends from college from the mid 1970 in NC! Everyone had a private bath and the kitchen was well appointed. We talked and laughed so hard that I have laryngitis! Memories for a lifetime.
The wedding cake property is beautiful! Nice beds, very adequate kitchen and beautiful decor. The only thing you weren’t prepared for were all the steps but it worked out great. Thanks so much.

Liked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy
Disliked: Check-in
We had to wait 2 hours in the rain to get in. The person sent to help was rude. The instructions sent to open the lockbox were inaccurate causing this delay. The elevator did not work to bring in the luggage or go to the bedrooms for 3 80 year olds. One of the dinning chairs was broken causing an 80 year old to fall and bruise her arm. Nevertheless, the place is beautiful and after we adjusted to the circumstances we had a good time.

The house was great. Just the right size for our group of ten. Suzanne was very helpful and got bak to us quickly. The location was perfect. We did a ghost tour one night that ended in Monterrey Square, right by the house. We could walk to everything in the historic district.
We had a great experience here. The property manager was communicative, responsive, and helpful. Some of my family has mobility challenges, but the elevator made this much more manageable
Our group of 10 had a wonderful stay at the “Wedding Cake House” in Savannah. The house and furnishings were beautiful and spotless and perfect for our group. The house is in an absolutely perfect area to walk and enjoy the historic neighborhoods and sites. It is a wonderful location to enjoy all the flavor and the graciousness that Savannah has to offer. We had a wonderful stay and Suzanne was superb at answering all our needs and questions. We hope to return and heartily recommend the house.

We rented the bottom part (2 bedrooms) last year Thanksgiving week and thoroughly enjoyed it, so we rented the top part this year and we loved it! Perfect for our families Holiday experience. We hope to make it an annual tradition!! Harvey
9 working women from Texas in Savannah for 4 days! This house was in an awesome location, easy to walk everywhere, and was awesome for hanging out in pajamas after dinner. We’d stay here again!!

Our stay at the Wedding Cake Mansion in Savannah was wonderful! The home was clean and well-appointed. What we especially liked was the ability to walk just about everywhere. It was also very nice for my kids to have their own space at the end of the day to "get away from each other".
The Wedding Cake house is beautiful! It was everything we expected and more! The location was perfect!

The Wedding Cake Mansion was exactly as described on the website. Gorgeous home away from home. With all the unknowns happening in the world today, it was a beautiful time of the year to celebrate our son's wedding while staying in such a lovely home. Thank you.
