About this property

Beautifully restored circa 1807 home in the heart of the Saint Marys Historic District. This home, known as the cannonball home was originally a study for Horace Pratt, the minister of the first Presbyterian Church in Saint Marys and was located on the Orange Hall property. The home was hit with a cannonball during the Civil War and the damage is still seen today! This historic home has a traditional wrap around porch and 12 foot ceilings.

A lovey and short .3 mile walk from the home and you are at St. Marys Howard Gilman Memorial Waterfront Park, divine Saint Mary's Seafood river front restaurants, Knuckleheads Kayak Adventures, the ferry to Cumberland Island, and more.

Spring break

Had a nice relaxing visit. Very nice town to visit had some great places eat. Enjoyed playing golf at one of the near by courses. My wife liked the shopping in the area. The house was very unique and comfortable. We had everything we needed. Debbie was very accommodating and I would recommend this rental to anyone. Loved the porch

Great stay in St. Mary's

Beautiful historic property. We loved how it was decorated. You could feel the history but at the same time it was nicely updated and very comfortable. It had everything we needed and it was very close to the ferry and downtown.
