Dresser Palmer House Savannah Georgia

My sister rented out the top half of the Dresser Palmer House for the weekend of her wedding. We had already gotten comfy in the luxury Savannah rental-- but she and her fiancé were gracious enough to have us at the DPH, so we went.

It was beautiful, super clean and cozy. The staff was beyond nice. If a bed and breakfast is what you are after, the Dresser Palmer is for you.

One caveat, I would ask which rooms had claw foot tubs and steer clear of them. Not fun for showering.

The breakfast was always wonderful, and they have a nice cheese and wine happy hour as well.

Elegant, storied inn in Savannah's Historic Landmark District offers the finest in bed and breakfast vacation accommodations.












Luxury Living Savannah, Savannah Vacation Rentals

When I travel, I like having the comforts of home. A washer and dryer is the ultimate luxury for me, strange-- but so true.

I also like having a kitchen, living room, patio, and space to sprawl out in. I usually always choose vacation rentals over hotels.

When I was searching for spots to stay in Savannah, Georgia - I came across Luxury Living Savannah.

They had what I wanted.

We stayed in the Madison Square Suite-- it was centrally located and looked just like it was portrayed online. It was clean and comfortable.

This company had plenty of rentals to suit any need.

Seriously... Who is the genius that made this up? A hot dog with infinite sub toppings-- hell to the yes!

Foodie heaven! You can even substitute a falafel for a hotdog if you want-- I did!






















Last but definitely not least, Mabel Frances Cupcake Emporium. The name alone denotes some scientific form of deliciousness.

I went here three-- yes, one, two, three times during my visit to Savannah, each time bringing more people with me.

I would venture to say that the cupcakes are marvelous. The famous buttercream was so darn good. I was also lucky enough to dig my chompers in the red velvet and salted Carmel! Love!

If you like sweets-- you need a Mabel cupcake!

Huey's on the River Savannah Georgia

This may have been my favorite place in Savannah for dining. I didn't actually order since we had Mrs. Wilkes for lunch-- but I sampled everything.

The ambiance is casual and festive, which I like. No fancy schmancy here, just good food.

The gumbo was delicious and huge. The appetizer of barbecue shrimp was saucy and came with a side of cheese bread for dipping. Scallops and grits, yum. Even the corn bread was tasty.

If you are in Savannah, Huey's is a must.


I only wish I had gone hungry!

Mrs. Wilkes Savannah Georgia

http://www.mrswilkes.com/
107 W Jones St
Savannah, Georgia 31401



Let me start by saying during our stay in Savannah, we happened to be situated RIGHT next door to Mrs. Wilkes. I had read that it was a local favorite for down home southern cuisine, but even still I didn't know if I was game for that type grubbing. Day after day our little apartment was filled with the tantalizing aromas coming from Wilkes next door. The fried goodness began to wear on us.

Day three-- we went!

I sent my husband to go wait in line while I waited upstairs for a text--- I mean that's part of the perks of marriage right?

After about an hour, the text came.

I ran down-- we waited about 20 more minutes, then we were ushered in.

The room was filled with people seated family style, food, and anticipation. Tables were packed, I mean jam packed, with food.

We passed around the food and dug in.

Bliss! Carb laden, hearty thick rich, coma inducing food! Ahhhh!

My favorite things were the fried chicken, stuffing, carrot salad and the best-- the meatloaf. Desserts were blackberry cobbler and home made banana pudding. Both were good, as I had a taste of each, but the pudding was my preference of the two.

Go early, go hungry, plan to nap later!




































































Put a fork in me, I'm done!
