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.

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.
We really enjoyed this property. It’s walking distance to the waterfront and in a very quiet neighborhood made it a great relaxing place to vacation with the family!
This was a fantastic place to stay. Very convenient to restaurants and water front. House is big with so much history, everywhere you looked there was something else to see. Host was great with communication, would definitely stay here again.
We had a wonderful stay!! The hosts were very accommodating and communicative.
The house is lovely and super cool, unique lay-out. Great location!!
We will definitely be back to stay again!!
Love the location. Such a wonderful and lovely historic home. My family enjoyed sitting out on the porch and listening to the birds every morning! The host made sure we had everything needed to start our vacation off well!
This was our second time staying at this house and we always have a blast. The porch is my favorite place to relax. The location is so close to downtown just a couple minute walk.
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.
The Cannon Ball House was the perfect location to walk all of beautiful St Marys. The house was very comfortable and spacious. Perfect for our group of 6.
We really liked the cannonball house with its historic interior, modern kitchen and location. The porch is awesone and we had a grest contact to the owner.
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
The house is beautiful, full of history, and with plenty of room! The location was perfect so we never had to use our car to get around town. We will be back!
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.
