  • Dungeness on Cumberland Island, Georgia, is a ruined mansion that is part of a historic district that was the home of several families significant in American history. James Oglethorpe first built on Cumberland Island in 1736, building a hunting lodge that he named Dungeness. Oglethorpe named the place after Dungeness, in England. The next Dungeness was the legacy of Revolutionary War hero Nathanael Greene, who had acquired 11,000 acres of island land in exchange for a bad debt. His widow built a four-story tabby mansion in 1803, over a Timucuan shell mound. During the War of 1812 the island was occupied by the British, who used the house as a headquarters. In 1818 Henry “Light-Horse Harry” Lee, a dashing cavalry commander during the Revolutionary War and father of Robert E. Lee, stayed at the house until his death on March 25, 1818, cared for by Greene's daughter Louisa, and was laid to rest in nearby cemetery with full military honors provided by an American fleet stationed at St. Marys, Georgia. The house was abandoned during the U.S. Civil War and burned in 1866. In the 1880s the property was purchased by Thomas M. Carnegie, brother of Andrew Carnegie, who began to build a new mansion on the site. The 59-room Queen Anne style mansion and grounds were completed after Carnegie's death in 1886. His wife Lucy continued to live at Dungeness and built other estates for her children, including Greyfield for Margaret Carnegie, Plum Orchard for George Lauder Carnegie, and Stafford Plantation. By this time, the Carnegies owned 90% of the island. The Carnegies moved out of Dungeness in 1925. In 1959 the Dungeness mansion was destroyed by fire, alleged to be arson. The ruins are today preserved by the National Park Service as part of Cumberland Island National Seashore. They were acquired by the Park Service in 1972.

I think the best part was the vintage look and feel as it is over 100 years old. I also like the location for access to the Cumberland Island NP. All of the front desk staff was great and they held cold items for me in the frig. However, the split unit in the room is oversized for the volume it needs to condition which leads to a problem called short cycle where the unit can cool but it can't extract the moisture so it feels "clammy." Also, there is no window screen so you can't open the window. I couldn't open the window anyway because a guest was smoking on the roof. Inside rooms have doors that lead to a flat roof.

We loved this hotel! We loved the historical value and the ability to briefly step back in time to experience a time gone by. The front desk staff were incredibly helpful. We ate at the attached restaurant and were impressed with the food. The area was beautiful and worthy of exploring. Our only regret was that we were just passing thru and didn't have time to seriously check out the area. We made a promise to ourselves that we would return specifically to enjoy the hotel and the area!
