Historic "Cannon Ball" House Close to Cumberland ferry and historic down town.

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.

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.

Birthday Trip

The Cannonball House was just perfect for our group. It was a perfect location. We were comfortable and had everything we needed. We enjoyed sitting on the porch at night. The property manager was easy to work with and answered all of our questions promptly. We will definitely stay in this beautiful home when we visit St. Mary's again.

Experience history in St. Mary’s

We chose to stay in the historical part of St. Mary’s. Our first visit there. Staying at the Cannon Ball house was extra special. It clearly is an older historic house- as is the entire historic area- but very clean, well air conditioned with fans in every room, comfortable beds.. plenty of room.
