The Gastonian: Savannah, Ga.

Amongst the moss-covered trees and historic downtown squares you'll find The Gastonian in Savannah, Ga. More than 100-years old, this B&B is steeped in Southern elegance and hospitality. A breakfast buffet and snacks are available throughout the day and desserts seem to disappear in the evening.
