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.

“We had a wonderful stay at this charming cottage on Saint Simons. The unit was excellent—cozy, clean, and very comfortable. The location couldn’t be better, within easy walking distance to the lighthouse and several great restaurants (just a two-minute walk away). The area felt safe, quiet, and beautifully maintained. The weather was perfect, and spending time on the porch was absolutely therapeutic—so peaceful and relaxing. We truly enjoyed our weekend getaway and would love to stay here again!”

“My husband and I visited St. Mary’s to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. We arrived at the Norris Cottage, surprised to see that the property manager Eileen had left “Happy Anniversary” balloons for us..so very sweet and thoughtful of her. Eileen was very easy to contact with fast responses. The cottage was exactly as described and very clean. The cottage is nestled in a quiet little neighborhood. We truly enjoyed our stay in St. Mary’s at the Norris Cottage and are planning to visit again……

“I did not get to make the trip. My wife fell and broke her wrist two days before check-in date. So I can’t say anything about the property, but I can say something about Generali trip insurance. If you fall into a situation like I did and you contact the trip insurance company they’re gonna want to know a policy number. If you don’t have that you’re screwed. I tried to get some cooperation over the phone, but they saw their caveat and they took it. I’m out over 1000. I have receipt from other……

8/10 好

"I had a pleasant stay overall. The young front desk guy with curly hair was not only handsome but also extremely kind — truly six-star service! I wasn’t feeling well when I arrived, and he allowed me to check in early, which I really appreciated. The hotel was clean and comfortable, definitely worth five stars. The only downside was the service from housekeeping. Just as I entered the room and was about to shower, someone knocked loudly and impatiently on the door. Even after I said “just a second,” they kept knocking. When I opened the door, the person said something I couldn’t catch and left. Later, I called to request extra towels — it took two calls, and when they finally arrived, the staff knocked just as rudely again. Still, thanks to the great front desk service and clean room, it was a mostly good experience."
