From the moment we walked in the front door of Beytagh House, my girlfriend, my daughter-in-law, and I were wowed! The beauty of this extraordinary house is awesome. It has all the modern amenities, such as A/C, ceiling fans, a W/D, showers, etc., but the original (?) hardwood floors and stairs, the fireplaces in virtually all the rooms, and the beautiful interior decorating are amazing, speaking to the history of this 1872 home. I loved imagining the generations of people who had climbed the stairs, sat by the fireplaces, and the views they would have seen out the high-ceiling windows. There are many gorgeous pieces of crystal and silver in the house, lovely rugs and live plants, paintings and other art reflecting eras from the early 19th through the 20th centuries, adding elegance to the home. (If you have small and/or rambunctious children, this would not be a good choice for you.) The house was very clean and tidy, and we loved the "extras," as well: such as frosted mugs waiting for us in the freezer, a coffee maker AND a Kerig! The neighborhood is quite; we all slept well. And our gracious host, Paul, was so helpful and accommodating. He gave us great tips on places to see, restaurants, tours, etc. We enjoyed an amazing Mother's Day dinner at The Pink House--a must for visitors to Savannah. Would also recommend "Savanna Live," a high energy, through-the-years musical, which we all enjoyed. And the dolphin siting tour. (Mike's is the one we went on. Saw lots of dolphins! And the little pub/restaurant at the dock has great food.)
The location of Beytagh House is excellent: only a few blocks to downtown Savannah. (Tip: if you choose to drive, be aware, Savannah has many one-way streets. A few minutes studying a map of the layout of the city will help you navigate. By the book shelves in the parlor, are several pamphlets on things to see and do.) Just around the corner from the house is free side street parking.
The house, the host, the location make Beytagh a wonderful choice! You will not be disappointed.
