Fodor's Expert Review R. J. Reynolds Mansion
Sapelo Island, Georgia, 31327, USA
A stay at this 10-bed, 10-bath historic Sapelo Island mansion is a rare treat reserved only for groups of 8--25, or a smaller group willing to pay the minimum nightly fee per person. The Spanish moss--draped home was once the summer retreat of tobacco magnate R.J. Reynolds and features a bowling lane, billiards, library, and ornately decorated "Circus Room." Owned and managed by the State of Georgia, the property stays booked well in advance, so definitely plan and book ahead. A stay here includes all meals, and you can arrange guided tours and nature experiences on the island.

- surrounded by nature
