About this property
Jones Street Getaway w/ Lunch from Mrs. Wilkes Restaurant by Lucky Savannah
Built toward the end of the 19th century, this one-bedroom, one and one half-bath property is as rich in history as it is charm. Once the home of Mrs. Wilkes, proprietress of the famous Boarding House and still-operational Mrs. Wilkes Dining Room, this parlor-level condo offers a unique stay for up to four Lucky guests. Wake up every morning to beautiful Jones Street, where cobblestones and ancient oak trees dripping in spanish moss compelled Southern Living Magazine to name it the “Prettiest Street in America.”
The original hardwood floors and 12’ ceilings and tasteful interior decor make this home-away-from-home warm and inviting. The large living area has a flat screen TV and a queen-sized sleeper sofa. Pocket doors separate the parlor from the dining room, which has seating for four. The galley-style kitchen is fully equipped with all you’ll need for a weekend getaway or extended stay. The large, elegant bedroom has a king-sized bed with soft, luxurious bedding.
The Wilkes House is an ideal location to call home while exploring the varied sights and activities around the Historic District. Located in the middle of our bustling Design District, stylish shops dot the streets among several historic homes open for touring, including the Mercer Williams House and the childhood home of Flannery O’Connor. With a three night or longer say, you’ll receive one free lunch for two at Mrs. Wilkes’ Dining Room, where you’ll dine like a local and feel like family!
Why Lucky Savannah Loves this Property: - Take a leisurely morning stroll through nearby Forsyth Park, Savannah’s largest green space and a popular location for weddings and festivals. - A small patio in the back is the perfect spot to enjoy a fine Savannah morning and cup of coffee. - This home has a washer and dryer for added convenience.
Sleeping Configuration: Bedroom 1: King Bed Living Room: Queen Sleeper Sofa

Fabulous location! Loved having lunch at Mrs. Wilkes cafe downstairs - didn’t realize how popular and legendary it was till I saw the line around the block! Get in line early and take advantage of the free lunch - you will not regret it!! One of the highlights of our trip!
Great location in the historic district. Just the right size for a couple for a short getaway visit.

peaceful, charming, bigger than it looks in pictures, great location
The house was incredible and felt very old, which I love. The king-sized bed was comfortable.Beautiful street and the location was convenient as we walked everywhere.We hope to come back soon!
We had a wonderful stay and the Wilkes house was perfect place! Jones street is beautiful and the visit to Savannah was better than we could imagine!
Some attention to the tub faucet is needed as the fridge door seal needs a bleaching as it has molded.
Wonderful stay at The Wilkes House on Beautiful Jones Street. Delicious complimentary meal at Mrs Wilkes restaurant without waiting in line. Southern Charm and hospitality in one of my favorite vacation spots.
This was our first visit to Savannah. We loved the city and its’ history. Mrs. Wilkes’ house was a perfect location on a beautiful street.
Check in and out was easy. We are already planning our next trip back!!
This charming place is so well appointed and very spacious. It’s on the prettiest street and very convenient to the downtown and River front. Its location makes it so easy to walk to all the beautiful parks/squares and down to the river. We had a lovely stay and would recommend it. Also, since we stayed for 3 nights, we received a complimentary lunch at Mrs. Wilkes dining room which was delicious!
My husband, SCAD daughter and I spent the week while our home in Savannah was having flooring replaced. It was a great stay action location in Savannah's most beautiful street!
We enjoyed eating at Mrs Wilkes, walked in Forsythe park and took a shopping meander down Broughton. I was really fun to be in the historical area of our home town. Thank you neighbor!
Great stay in a great neighborhood. Mrs Wilkes restaurant was a great experience and the food was fantastic. The property was close to everything we wanted/needed. After we unloaded our car we parked our car in the Liberty Street Parking Garage and didn't touch it again until it was time to leave. Everything we needed was in walking distance - waterfront, city market, restaurants, grocery store, etc. There is also a FREE bus that runs a route that will take you to the waterfront as well. We really enjoyed our stay here and look forward to coming back.
We have been wanting to visit Savannah for some time now. I have no idea how I got so Lucky in finding the PERFECT place. Is was the Perfect home to get the full fill of a Savannah home. Perfect location in the historic district. It is also located on the most beautiful street in Savannah and the iceing on the cake was the wonderful Mrs. Wilkes restaurant is part of the home and history.
Thank you so much for all the Wonderful memories you have givin us.
We were in town so I could run the Every Woman’s Marathon and wanted a quiet street…Jones is it! The house is so roomy and I love that there are one and a half bathrooms. We couldn’t figure out the shower (found the sign behind the toilet later!) and called for help. Also missed the towels. Everyone we called and talked to (Candice specifically) was so helpful and didn’t get annoyed with our blunders! Would definitely recommend! Everything was great!
The location is very convenient. Ill had problems getting in the front door as working the key was a learning curve. The dishwasher didn’t work. I texted management with no response.The advertisement was for 2 free lunches at Wilkes. Did not see where that was offered. The property is right above the restaurant with a line down the sidewalk. The Monday we could have eaten there was limited by an event - not good. The part I did not like was someone came into the property to deliver a blanket I had not requested! I did not appreciate someone coming in while we were not there.I won’t be staying there again.
Location is what sells this property! We stayed here over Labor Day weekend. The area was surprisingly quiet. The property is above the famous Mrs Wilkes Dining Room so you might have large crowds of people standing in line right outside the home. We only experienced this on check-in day.
Pros- awesome location! Close walking distance to some restaurant/coffee shops, Forsyth park, and shops. You get a complimentary meal for two at Mrs Wilkes Dining Room. Food was delicious and we met some amazing folks! Check-in/out process was super easy. Spacious accommodations for the three of us (souse and 7yr old). Having two bathrooms was nice 😊
Cons: though the home was clean, it still has somewhat of an old musty smell to it. Just something to know before booking. The AC worked, but again old house tall ceilings so it doesn’t get super cool inside. If you are a light sleeper and someone with kids is staying above you, you will hear them lol. 11pm and they were running back and forth up there.
One other thing to add, it is all street parking with meters. Thought this would an issue on a holiday weekend, but we never had a problem parking right in front of the house. Meters are pretty cheap too for the days you do have to pay, and I highly recommend getting the parking app.

I love the Wilkes House! This is my 2nd time staying. It was clean, bed was comfortable and I enjoyed seeing people frequent the restaurant. It's a very quiet neighborhood with metered on street parking. I have an SUV and never had a problem parking. I'd highly recommend the Wilkes House!
