Wilkes House [1]
Jones Street Getaway w/ Lunch from Mrs. Wilkes Restaurant by Lucky Savannah
Lovely staycation
Reviewed on 2024-04-07 by Darelle J. , Savannah, GA USWe are residents of Savannah and needed a place for a week while we had some home renovations and chose this gracious historical district walk up. It had everything we needed and was a great way to play tourist in Savannah and come and go to work. The washing machine and dryer was a boon and Forsyth park and its Saturday farmers market was a delight. <br/>I recommend it for travelers and stay ationers alike.
Great stay and history!
Reviewed on 2024-04-02 by , Pompano Beach, FL United StatesIt was so fun to stay and eat with Mrs Wilkes! The house was super comfy/ even the sofa bed! It was nice to have two toilets as well. Everything was awesome and it was so neat staying in such a historic house. We will be back!
Wilkes House
Reviewed on 2024-03-18 by Jeff C. , Flint, TX UnknownWe were very impressed and satisfied with our stay at the Wilkes house and will definitely be back!! The lunch at the Wilkes restaurant was out of this world good!! The gentleman that worked at the restaurant was very helpful letting us know how the parking worked which was very appreciated since we have a big truck. The bed was great and the furnishings were great and beautifully decorated.
An amazing stay!
Reviewed on 2024-03-08 by Kinley W. , Galloway, OH USThis was the perfect get away for my husband and I. The location is amazing, we walked everywhere! Highly recommend going to Mrs. Wilkes dining room, they have the best fried chicken! We will definitely be coming again!

Great locatiion
Reviewed on 2023-09-29 by , Clovis, CA UnknownThe location is great. We walked everywhere. Description accurate. The property is not as tidy as I would like. But I realize it is an old property. For instance the kitchen cupboard doors need cleaning. Washer and dryer worked well. Dishwasher door appeared to need repair. Customer service was good. The staff was helpful. I would recommend this property to others. We saw the Low house, the house where Gen Sherman stayed. The Public restaurant has really good food. Also The Collins is good food with 2 locations. See Forsythe park, Take a tour of the city on your first day.
Beautiful location and well appointed condo
Reviewed on 2023-09-28 by Andrea S. , Riverdale, IA USThe condo is tastefully decorated to its period. We very much enjoyed our stay.
This was our first stay in Savannah and we would definitely come back! This condo is in a most beautiful neighborhood and street. It is well located in the historical downtown area within walking distance to restaurants and bars yet is very quiet. <br/>The condo is tastefully decorated to its period. We very much enjoyed our stay.

The first time I ate at Wilkes (over 20 yrs ago), I was priviledged to have Mrs Wilkes personally sign our cookbook. It was exciting to see that Ryan (the grandson) has continued the family tradition. Our stay at the home was great. We walked a few blocks to Clary's evey morning and had breakfast.

A Savannah Sanctuary
Reviewed on 2023-04-19 by Diane R. , Panacea, FL United StatesIt was beautiful. 107 was gorgeous. It had everything one could want for a stay in Savannah. When you advised us to get a parking pass, that was good advice. It made parking easier. When we arrived to the door a nice young man helped us unlock and enter the building. Later we found out he was Mrs Wilkes great grandson. We also met Marcia and she asked how we liked the room and did I see her wedding picture. She signed my cookbook. It was so exciting going down the back stairs, then going through the kitchen where wonders were happening and joining the “regulars” for the most delicious lunch ever. In leaving we forgot to put the key back in the box which we mailed back but maybe an extra mention at checkout about the key like, “ Did you return the key to the lockbox?” Not sure if this would have helped this old couple though. I am recommending this experience to everyone I know who has Savannah on their bucket list. I even wrote a poem about it! Thanks again. Diane
Pure Delight. A Lovely Apartment on the Most Beautiful Street

On my last visit to Savannah I took a photo of a building on the most beautiful street I had ever seen.

The location is unbeatable.
Savannah trip
Reviewed on 2023-04-05 by Kristie C. , Birnamwood, WI UnknownThe home was exactly as described. It was very cozy. There was a funky smell but we got use to it. The restaurant mouse from downstairs didn’t bother us at all. It was only open from 11 to 2 so we were gone the majority of the day. Parking wasn’t even a problem.

The Wilkes stay
Reviewed on 2023-03-08 by Maurice M. , Wallace, NC United StatesVery interesting. Food was excellent but too much variety for one seating.
wonderfully appointed historic charmer!
Reviewed on 2023-02-20 by , PENNINGTON, NJ USthe pied a terre above Mrs. Wilkes house was the perfect lay-out and location for our work-from-home stay/play week in Savannah. The large, high ceilinged rooms helped us to spread out for conference calls when needed but felt homey and cozy when the work day ended. Super well-located in the heart of the historic district so we were able to walk everywhere and enjoy the beauty of Savannah
What a beautiful apartment
Reviewed on 2023-02-18 by , Doylestown, PA United StatesWe were both awestruck with the beauty and elegance of the apartment.
Our annual trip to Savannah!
Reviewed on 2023-01-02 by Jennifer R. , Land O Lakes, FL United StatesWe had a great time in Savannah. We come every year around Christmas. This was a good vacation rental. Plenty of space for our family and we really enjoyed going to Wilkes for lunch.. this is definitely something we will do again. This location was a little further from the river than we like... probably 15-20 minute walk. Also, the sheets on the bed in the master bedroom did not fit the bed and would come off every time you laid down. This was super annoying. Otherwise this is a good rental.

Great Stay
Reviewed on 2022-10-15 by , Friendswood, TX UnknownWe had a wonderful vacation to Savannah! The location was great and the food at Mrs.Wilkes was the best we had during our stay! There are some great places to eat nearby and everything was walking distance to eat. I would suggest the trolley at the visitor center as it will give you a good idea where everything is. If you buy around mid day they will give you two days. The lunch included at Mrs. Wilkes is great as you don’t have to wait in line just tell them your staying there. We had a mishap with cleaning day during our stay and my shampoo and conditioner were tossed but they replace it for me! You will love it! I do have one suggestion for the place. We did not have a car and flew to Savannah. The kitchen was well stocked with supplies but having some coffee and creamer would be great to have in the place. We knew we would eat out everyday but morning coffee is a must for us. There were no stores walking distance opened when we arrived that you could buy coffee and creamer. We ended buying some at Walgreens the next day when we noticed it taking the shuttle. Thanks for a lovely stay!
Great location!
Reviewed on 2022-08-06 by Patti H. , Leesburg, FL USLocation of property was wonderful. Walking distance to beautiful historical downtown Savannah. Apartment was furnished beautifully; comfortable bed. All essentials were available in kitchen if you were so inclined to cook your own meals. Only negative I have is the entry process. Had trouble getting front door key, but I think because we had traveled a few hours, it was very hot and we were tired. I got very frustrated, but was able figure out the process. We would definitely stay here again!

The house was precious and we loved staying there. We didn’t get to have lunch since they were closed for the holiday weekend, but otherwise the only negative was that it was a little warm inside. But being from New Orleans originally I know it is sometimes hard to get old houses to cool down enough when it is really hot outside. <br/>Overall, great location, great house, great trip!

Beautiful historic getaway
Reviewed on 2021-11-16 by , Holly Ridge, NC USVery big one bedroom apartment. Spacious and historic. Very clean! The mattress wasn’t great, especially if you are used to a memory foam mattress. Being right above the restaurant did make it very noisy from about 10am-4pm. Great location can walk to shops, parks and restaurants. Street parking can be a bit tight but we never had issues finding a spot on block or next block.

Beautiful historic home, great location
Reviewed on 2021-10-20 by Nancy O. , Vancouver, WA USWhat a charming place stay. If you love historic homes, you’ll appreciate the Wiles House. Located on a quiet tree lined street in the heart of the historic district, you are within walking distance to many restaurants, shops, museums and historic homes to tour. We loved that the apartment retained it’s original period details such as the fireplaces, ceiling medallions, hardwood floors and moldings. Very, very spacious with large rooms (except bathrooms and kitchen, but that was fine with us). For the most part things were clean and well maintained. The living furniture has seen better days...the sofa was sagging and felt grungy and a bit smelly.. we didn’t sit on it. The shower curtain liner was covered with mold and the fitted sheet was too small for the bed and would pop off while we slept, wrapping around us...we had to get up several times during the night to remake the bed. As a vacation rental owner myself, I make sure to stay in our rental 3 or 4 times a year to experience it like a guest and make note of anything that needs maintained or replaced. With just a few tweaks the Wilkes House will be a 5 star stay for sure.

Wilkes pied a terre
Reviewed on 2021-09-29 by Bridget B. , Melville, NY United StatesHome was beautiful! New kitchen and bathroom. Felt like I was back in time. Place was immaculate. People living above our “apartment” were noisy, though. I was up until 3 one night. I did leave a note asking them to be a little quieter and they were. The key pad on the exterior door(street) was difficult to manage. You need the same kind that is on the interior door or something similar. Savannah is a beautiful city and our rental was in a beautiful spot. Would definitely recommend. You can walk everywhere. No need to rent a car. One more thing. Rental company was extremely easy to work with!!!

Reviewed on 2021-06-22 by Rebecca W. , Houston, OH United StatesThis was our 2nd stay in the Wilkes House. We have enjoyed both very much. The location is great. The apartment is spacious, inviting and clean. Our only complaint is the bed and couch are horribly broken down and need replaced. My husband and I both suffered from a sore back and lack of sleep due to the bed. It felt like I was sleeping in a hole. Other than that, it was lovely! We also appreciate the option for late check out as our flight was leaving late. Thank you!

The beauty, history, dining, shopping unsurpassed and staying in this charming home topped off the Savanah Experience. Delightful.
Lovely "stay as a local" experience
Reviewed on 2021-04-02 by Robin G. , Naples, FL UnknownMy husband and I had the privilege of staying at Mrs. Wilkes House on beautiful Jones St. in late March. The location in the historic district is amazing as it is a nice walk to many Savannah attractions. The apartment exceded our expectations, not only in size, but also due to cleanliness and thoughtful supplies left for us. I didn't think it was possible to live like a local in the truest sense of the phrase. If you stay here you will not be disappointed! You must make time to have lunch at the famous Mrs. Wilkes homestyle, cooked from scratch, alfresco luncheon on Jones St. Such a great experience overall; and we also highly recommend Lucky Savannah property management co. They are on top of every detail from communication before and during stay, to excellent housekeeping hires. Thank you to all for a much needed getaway!!!

The unit was extremely spacious, decorated with beautiful antiques, very clean and in the absolute best location and on the most beautiful street in all of Savannah. I hesitate to admit all of this as then perhaps the unit will never be free again for us. LOL We were amazed that a lunch for two which could have fed 10 was included at Mrs. Wilkes kitchen below. We have stayed at many hotels, bed and breakfasts etc but nothing compares to our stay at Mrs. Wilkes. Thank you!!

Even though we could only do take out from the restaurant, we enjoyed the food once again. The portions are very generous and it was a delight to meet Mr & Mrs Wilkes granddaughter.

Reviewed on 2019-06-13 by Lisa W. , Owings, MD United StatesWe took a family vacation here, and at the other unit on the Wilkes property. Both units were well appointed, but I thought the other one had a better floor plan. The bathroom was located off of the dining room, so if there were people visiting in your unit, you ran the risk of them seeing you post shower. (put your clothes on in the bathroom) The only cleaning issue we saw, was that the air return vents were dusty. The staff was wonderful, and even got us "back door" entrance to Mrs. Wilkes. The free meal with the rental really makes this a good deal. This location is close to many attractions, and the family members on this trip were impressed with the facilities. I would stay here again!

Wonderful Stay in Savannah
Reviewed on 2019-05-07 by , Marshall, MI United StatesThe suite itself is three large rooms, a galley kitchen and bath and a half. It could use some freshening up, i.e. paint and kitchen, but it is still charming. The bedroom is large and the bed comfortable. The kitchen is basic, but fine for our limited use for breakfasts and snacks. It was nice to have a washer and dryer so we didn't leave with a suitcase full of laundry.
Dinner at Mrs. Wilkes was, as always, delicious
We enjoyed our stay at Mrs. Wilkes. If you like to sleep late and want to hear any noise, this probably isn't the place for you. We are fairly early risers and spent most of our time enjoying out and about Savannah. The one day we were in we did hear some noise from the restaurant below, but not terrible, and only for a few hours.<br/><br/>The suite itself is three large rooms, a galley kitchen and bath and a half. It could use some freshening up, i.e. paint and kitchen, but it is still charming. The bedroom is large and the bed comfortable. The kitchen is basic, but fine for our limited use for breakfasts and snacks. It was nice to have a washer and dryer so we didn't leave with a suitcase full of laundry.<br/><br/>Dinner at Mrs. Wilkes was, as always, delicious <br/>
Love this apartment!!
Reviewed on 2019-04-22 by , Wagener, SC United StatesSeveral small problems (front door lock) but rental agency handled everything immediately and was extremely polite and efficient. Apartment was clean and beautifully furnished. A little noisy in bedroom in the morning when line forms but fair trade off for the wonderful aroma that drifts up from downstairs. Will return again for sure.

Beautiful old Savanah Condo

We had a few hiccups but management took care of it quickly, they were so very sweet. We loved the original architecture of the condo, (original pocket doors), it was clean and well maintained.

3 Nights in Savannah
Reviewed on 2018-10-23 by Katie K. , Candler, NC United StatesStaying at the Wilkes House was a real treat for mine and my husband's 10th Wedding Anniversary. The home was beautiful, and convenient to everything the city has to offer. There were only 2 things that offered some disappointment... 1. We were still offered a comped meal at Mrs. Wilkes' Dining Room, but they no longer offer you first entrance so we had to wait in line for 2.5 hours. That being said, waiting wasn't terrible because we enjoyed conversations with other visitors and the weather was beautiful. It was disappointing though to miss out on 2 hours of seeing the city because we had to wait for lunch (and when we booked the room it was promised that we would be given behind the scenes access). 2. This one can't be helped by the management of the property, but they were filming a movie right on the street we were staying, which meant at 1:00 AM people were yelling, horses were running up the street and dogs were barking. We also had to have someone escort us to our apartment almost each time we wanted to walk down the street, we were told by police each time that we wanted to take a picture of the street we were staying on that we couldn't do so, and we had to park 3 blocks away (The movie crew did offer us a free parking pass for the weekend so that worked out well). Once again, the folks at Lucky Savannah weren't responsible for that and they communicated all the changes to us exceptionally well, it just became frustrating when you wanted to get back to get ready for dinner and had to wait for them to cut a scene and walk you back to your room. Overall, though, we truly enjoyed staying here and would stay here again and recommend it to anyone looking for a nice time away in Savannah.

The Wilkes house does not disappoint. It is charming old Southern architecture located in a historic and beautiful part of the city. We enjoyed our stay and strongly recommend taking advantage of a complimentary meal at the restaurant. As a guest of the Wilkes house, the preferred seating (go down the back stairs to the back of the kitchen) was a blessing as the lines for the lunch meal (the only one served) are lonnng!<br/>The property could use a couple tweaks in the maintenance department, but overall, it was comfortable and accommodating.

Perfect getaway
Reviewed on 2018-07-23 by william s. , athens, GA United StatesWe loved our apartment at the Wilkes house. It was clean, beautiful and the perfect location for touring Savannah. The one problem was in getting a key to the front door. Our print out said an extra would be in the room which we could not find. The apartment above us took the only key in the lockbox for their use and that left us wondering how to get in at night. The management was most helpful in helping us get the extra key in the second lockbox but was a little confusing. All in all we definitely would return and loved the dinner at Mrs. Wilkes. It was a GREAT trip.

After reading about its days as a boarding house, sleeping in a room that held a wedding in the early 1900's and being above Mrs. Wilkes restaurant, we felt lucky to be a part of the Wilkes' House history. We loved the fireplaces and other architectural details, and the extra bathroom was a bonus. The free shuttle service to the river and city market is just a block away. The neighborhood is beautiful and historical, and easy to explore on foot. We're glad we took advantage of the lunch at the restaurant.

Reviewed on 2018-03-29 by Catherine N. , Sharpsburg, GA United StatesThe apartment is lovely and large but with Mrs. Wilkes downstairs it was quite loud from 8:00 a.m. until after 4:00 p.m. You will have loud crowds lining-up right under the bedroom window and up and down the porch steps from around 9:00 a.m. until late afternoon. We often had people sitting on the porch steps and bench, and everyday people were blocking the sidewalks. The rental rate reflects this, as they could easily charge double without the restaurant in the basement. Great location on beautiful Jones street, and quiet in the evening. It looks exactly like the pictures.

Reviewed on 2018-03-29 by Bob J. , UnknownWe arrived at the Wilkes House in the pouring rain on Friday evening, found a parking spot right out front and were impressed from the moment we arrived. We walked inside to an incredibly warm, charming and gorgeously decorated apartment and knew instantly we would be back. The photos we viewed online beforehand were spot on. The apartment was clean and well-maintained and we couldn’t have asked for a better place to spend our weekend getaway. We look forward to a return visit during the week so we can experience dining at the restaurant, which is closed on the weekends. We walked a few blocks down to Clary’s Café on Abercorn and enjoyed delicious breakfasts, including their yummy sticky buns. We had a wonderful shrimp and grits dinner at Huey’s On The River and also found a tasty chicken summer risotto at The Public on West Liberty.

If I could say anything on the down side, I spent hours looking for something unique to pop-up, and I had to go hunting for this apartement in the Wilkes House. (not great internet exposure...) BUT, that's probably why I was able to book the perfect time over our anniversary. I hate to memtion... the price per night was equal to a high-mid range hotel room - AND WE GOT TO STAY IN THE FULL LIVING QUARTERS OF MRS. WILKES... ABOVE THE FAMOUS WILKES HOUSE RESTAURANT(on West Jones Street). I would give everything a 10 on a 5 star review. The staff at Lucky Savannah - 1st class, and the inclusion of the free (enter through the back door) lunch at the Wilkes house, where we met Marcia (Mrs. Wilkes Grandaughter), who now (with her husband Ronnie and their son), serves as the proprietors... as Marcia replaces her grandmother so proudly, as the hostess.

Lovely
Reviewed on 2018-03-29 by Ron M. , Louisville, KY United StatesGreat place to experience historic Savannah. Loved seeing what these beautiful townhomes looked like on the inside. The Wilkes House restaurant was a great perk especially not having to stand in the long waiting line! Delicious! Very clean. Only negative would be the complicated sticky door locks and front entrance musty smell, but lovely otherwise!<br/>

Near Perfect!
Reviewed on 2018-03-29 by Dorothy D. , Muncie, IN United StatesSCAD is in our daughter's future and so we "had to" come to Savannah again! We love it more every time & this rental made it easy to fall deeper in love! Immaculate. Perfect size for a couple plus a teen. Location was excellent to most. Drawback was parking but our short trip mitigated issues. Mrs. Wilkes VIP treatment for lunch made this rental an over the top delightful experience. Joy was kind and attentive during our brief stay and I'm going we can stay here again in September when we bring our daughter back to school. Drawbacks? Minimal, but we should have shopped for a few grocery staples on our way in, and perhaps the bed could use a new mattress but it wasn't terrible. An egg-crate foam pad for the pull out couch would be a plus.
Fabulous Home!
Reviewed on 2018-03-29 by Christy H. , Foresthill, CA United StatesI came to spoil my niece for her high school graduation and 18th birthday. We wanted something special and Wilkes House delivered. It was a welcoming home to return to after touring all day and the decor and furnishings added to it. We would definitely stay again. The only wish was for a cookie sheet or Pyrex dish for baking. Everything else that we could want was there! The VIP treatment at Wilkes restaurant is enviable. We knew we'd get to sneak down the back, but didn't know that we would get 2 meals for free! Anna was very kind answering all our questions! One tip that would be nice to include in the pre-info would be the parking pass. I would have gotten it before heading over. Thanks! Until next time...
Excellent Stay in Savannah, GA
Reviewed on 2018-03-29 by John D. , Tallassee, AL United StatesWe were so happy that we picked the Wilkes House to stay at during our weekend in Savannah. The property was beautiful and very convenient to the historic district area. The Wilkes Restaurant was amazing too and it was awesome that we didn't have to wait or pay since we were staying in the Wilkes House. Would definitely stay here again if we were to go back to Savannah.

Wonderful Accomodations
Reviewed on 2018-03-29 by Linda R. , United StatesStaying in this gracious home in a great location was a perfect option for my daughter and I to celebrate a special birthday. The rooms were huge and we loved coming "home" to relax. The neighborhood is charming and close to nice shops, cute restaurants and easily walkable to squares and downtown. Lunch at mrs Wilkes is really an experience and we loved the VIP option! Parking was a challenge on the weekends only because of street cleaning and despite buying a pass, we still got a ticket :(. Our fault. Overall a great place to stay in a wonderful city
A thoroughly enjoyable experience.
Reviewed on 2018-03-29 by DENNIS M. , United StatesThe best part about this property is it's style and location. Staying in a property that is well over 100 years old is a treat. The architecture in the home is beautiful and was what we most enjoyed inside. Of course with age comes some small things that might not be appreciated by everyone. The sofa is a little lumpy and the bed squeaks a little. We found these small imperfections to actually add to the charm and experience. The lock on the back door should be replaced as the handle falls off when ever the door is closed. Still we would not hesitate to stay there again. The street is beautiful and one can walk to any where in the Historic District. We walked every where for 4 days then got a car for 4 days to check out areas away from the Historic District. The people that worked at Mrs. Wilkes were very friendly and helpful. The food was great and much better than "The lady and Son's" which was a tourist trap with over salted food and not much selection. We also appreciated the washing machine, dishwasher, and refrigerator. We only cooked oatmeal for breakfast and used the microwave a couple of times but it was handy. The Kroger is a 15 minute walk and a discount card was provided in the kitchen. We are in our mid sixties and found this property very enjoyable and much better than staying in a hotel. The bedroom alone is bigger any hotel room and the bath and a half was convenient. we will recommend this property to our friends that are considering a trip to Savannah.
Wonderful stay at the Wilkes House

Fall visit to Mrs Wilkes apartment and restaurant
Reviewed on 2018-03-29 by Robert C. , United StatesWe had a 5 day stay and enjoyed every moment. The apartment was large, clean, beautifully furnished and complete with every item we could have needed. We knew in advance that the restaurant was just downstairs so the voices and kitchen noise were not a surprise and actually part of the experience. No noise what so ever the entire weekend. Savannah is so walkable that Jones Street provides easy access to the north and east to the historic district which is more tourist focused as well as to the south with a more residential feeling. Everyone we met on the property was very helpful and friendly. Seriously, not having to wait in line for lunch on Monday was wonderful, as was lunch.
Charming, Clean and Comfortable
Reviewed on 2018-03-15 by ken m. , appleton, WI United StatesThis was a great place for our family, large and spacious, clean and fully equipped. This charming apartment was in a great location for exploring Savannah again. Two baths was very convenient. Highly recommended!
Wonderful!
Reviewed on 2018-03-12 by , Cleveland Heights, OH United StatesWe returned to Mrs. Wilkes for two weeks this year and loved every day. The location is superb, right in the middle of the historic district. The apartment is very spacious and has enormous windows that fill the apartment with light. The washer/dryer are a big plus, but we especially loved the 11-12-foot ceilings. We slipped right back into the 19th century. The staff at Lucky Savannah is so professional and gracious. Thank you, Josh and Amanda! Try the great shrimp and grits at Huey's on the River. Within two blocks of this apartment, enjoy Gryphon for a most unusual and charming environment and delicious food served artfully and Art's for fabulous smoothie bowls when you just need to be refreshed with a snack or light meal. We walked 2-5 miles a day to get to know the spectacular historic buildings and beautiful squares. Don't hesitate to use the pedicabs (reasonable and fun) and the DOT (free). Both are excellent. We plan to return!

Wilkes House Vacation
Reviewed on 2017-12-30 by , Ocoee, FL United StatesI appreciate that the front door lock has been fixed. It was always very tricky trying to get it open.
The only thing that I would recommend is upgrading the couch. It is very uncomfortable to sit on, and there is no place to rest your feet. That's a small issue, but it would really make a big difference when you come back in from a long walk and just want to sit and relax for a little while.
Overall, we had a great time as usual, and we can't wait to come back in Dec. 2018.

Lovely Home
Reviewed on 2016-12-16 by , Nokomis, FL United StatesWe enjoyed are stay at the Wilkes House, but would like to call your attention to some of the issues we encountered. There was a coffee pot provided, but only 1 pack of coffee for a three day stay. There should have been one pack per day. Also there was no cream or sugar. The biggest problem we encountered was parking our vehicle. We had to get out on the street by 8:00 AM to feed a meter. This was a real problem. Then when I arrived home, my husband found a parking citation for parking in a street sweeping zone issued at 1:10 AM. I believe that the parking situation would prevent me from booking the Wilkes House in the future.

We had everything we needed to be comfortable. The location is perfect! The staff quickly took care of any questions and concerns. We had to leave a day early due to evacuation of Matthew. Our flight home was cancelled, airport closed for 2 days...we had to drive 11 hours to get home. Alamo wanted to gouge us 3X our rental rate to drop the car off at a different airport.

Wilkes House Review - June 17-19, 2016
Reviewed on 2016-07-19 by Bob J. , UnknownWe arrived at the Wilkes House in the pouring rain on Friday evening, found a parking spot right out front and were impressed from the moment we arrived. We walked inside to an incredibly warm, charming and gorgeously decorated apartment and knew instantly we would be back. The photos we viewed online beforehand were spot on. The apartment was clean and well-maintained and we couldnt have asked for a better place to spend our weekend getaway. We look forward to a return visit during the week so we can experience dining at the restaurant, which is closed on the weekends. We walked a few blocks down to Clarys Caf on Abercorn and enjoyed delicious breakfasts, including their yummy sticky buns. We had a wonderful shrimp and grits dinner at Hueys On The River and also found a tasty chicken summer risotto at The Public on West Liberty. We are looking forward to our next visit and will definitely be staying at the Wilkes House again.

Savannah ambiance
Reviewed on 2016-05-31 by John D. , Jonesboro, AR United StatesWe wanted a real Savannah experience with our stay and the Wilkes House was perfect in every way. Location was great, area was gorgeous, and unit was very spacious, very clean, the half bath was great and came with the perk of eating downstairs at Mrs. Wilkes. Parking on-street was no problem (get a pass from visitors bureau). Management was handled very professionally - I could not recommend this more highly, we stayed 3 days and loved every minute of it.

The meter parking out front was easy, we just bought a couple of two day passes from the visitors center. The apartment itself was nice. The kitchen could use an update and better stocking, but unless you have kids with you like we did, you're probably not planning on eating in much. The people at the restaurant were very nice and we enjoyed cutting through the kitchen to eat. Don't miss it. There will be crowds out front and workers out back, but that added to the Savannah experience for us.

Only negative would be the complicated sticky door locks and front entrance musty smell, but lovely otherwise!<br/>
Lovely but NO Privacy
Reviewed on 2015-08-16 by Catherine N. , Sharpsburg, GA United StatesThe apartment is lovely and large but with Mrs. Wilkes downstairs it was quite loud from 8:00 a.m. until after 4:00 p.m. You will have loud crowds lining-up right under the bedroom window and up and down the porch steps from around 9:00 a.m. until late afternoon. We often had people sitting on the porch steps and bench, and everyday people were blocking the sidewalks. The rental rate reflects this, as they could easily charge double without the restaurant in the basement. Great location on beautiful Jones street, and quiet in the evening. It looks exactly like the pictures.

Near Perfect!
Reviewed on 2015-07-19 by Dorothy D. , Muncie, IN United StatesSCAD is in our daughter's future and so we "had to" come to Savannah again! We love it more every time & this rental made it easy to fall deeper in love! Immaculate. Perfect size for a couple plus a teen. Location was excellent to most. Drawback was parking but our short trip mitigated issues. Mrs. Wilkes VIP treatment for lunch made this rental an over the top delightful experience. Joy was kind and attentive during our brief stay and I'm going we can stay here again in September when we bring our daughter back to school. Drawbacks? Minimal, but we should have shopped for a few grocery staples on our way in, and perhaps the bed could use a new mattress but it wasn't terrible. An egg-crate foam pad for the pull out couch would be a plus.
Fabulous Home!
Reviewed on 2015-06-29 by Christy H. , Foresthill, CA United StatesI came to spoil my niece for her high school graduation and 18th birthday. We wanted something special and Wilkes House delivered. It was a welcoming home to return to after touring all day and the decor and furnishings added to it. We would definitely stay again. The only wish was for a cookie sheet or Pyrex dish for baking. Everything else that we could want was there! The VIP treatment at Wilkes restaurant is enviable. We knew we'd get to sneak down the back, but didn't know that we would get 2 meals for free! Anna was very kind answering all our questions! One tip that would be nice to include in the pre-info would be the parking pass. I would have gotten it before heading over. Thanks! Until next time...

The rooms were huge and we loved coming "home" to relax. The neighborhood is charming and close to nice shops, cute restaurants and easily walkable to squares and downtown. Lunch at mrs Wilkes is really an experience and we loved the VIP option! Parking was a challenge on the weekends only because of street cleaning and despite buying a pass, we still got a ticket :(. Our fault. Overall a great place to stay in a wonderful city
A thoroughly enjoyable experience.
Reviewed on 2015-05-01 by DENNIS M. , United StatesThe best part about this property is it's style and location. Staying in a property that is well over 100 years old is a treat. The architecture in the home is beautiful and was what we most enjoyed inside. Of course with age comes some small things that might not be appreciated by everyone. The sofa is a little lumpy and the bed squeaks a little. We found these small imperfections to actually add to the charm and experience. The lock on the back door should be replaced as the handle falls off when ever the door is closed. Still we would not hesitate to stay there again. The street is beautiful and one can walk to any where in the Historic District. We walked every where for 4 days then got a car for 4 days to check out areas away from the Historic District. The people that worked at Mrs. Wilkes were very friendly and helpful. The food was great and much better than "The lady and Son's" which was a tourist trap with over salted food and not much selection. We also appreciated the washing machine, dishwasher, and refrigerator. We only cooked oatmeal for breakfast and used the microwave a couple of times but it was handy. The Kroger is a 15 minute walk and a discount card was provided in the kitchen. We are in our mid sixties and found this property very enjoyable and much better than staying in a hotel. The bedroom alone is bigger any hotel room and the bath and a half was convenient. we will recommend this property to our friends that are considering a trip to Savannah.

Fall visit to Mrs Wilkes apartment and restaurant
Reviewed on 2014-11-21 by Robert C. , United StatesWe had a 5 day stay and enjoyed every moment. The apartment was large, clean, beautifully furnished and complete with every item we could have needed. We knew in advance that the restaurant was just downstairs so the voices and kitchen noise were not a surprise and actually part of the experience. No noise what so ever the entire weekend. Savannah is so walkable that Jones Street provides easy access to the north and east to the historic district which is more tourist focused as well as to the south with a more residential feeling. Everyone we met on the property was very helpful and friendly. Seriously, not having to wait in line for lunch on Monday was wonderful, as was lunch.

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.
