House, 5 Bedrooms, 3 Baths, (Sleeps 10)Relax at the Rose ….’There is something ineffably serene about this house. It is a visual version of a Vivaldi Concerto or Handel’s Water Music. I sit and absorb the soothing impact of pale walls against honeyed woodwork, the abundance of flowing space and the unusual sense of tranquility that one feels here. My eye delights in the detail of the solid mantel-pieces that rest above the eight fireplaces, the perfectly chosen artwork that is redolent of a long-ago, somehow simpler, time and the light…always the glorious abundance of light that fills the house.’ …St Marys MagazineA 1907 Historic Home located in the heart of the historic district of St. Marys, Ga. A traditional ‘foursquare’ design, and one of the first homes in the area constructed of an unusual type of block (known as granitoid, rarely seen in South Georgia).The home has five bedrooms, three full bathrooms, a formal dining room and comfortable living room. While the home has been modernized (central heating and air conditioning, modern kitchen, and more), one can still appreciate the original details of hardwood floors, large windows, dramatically high ceilings and two large porches – all surrounded by a half acre of camellias, azaleas, roses, magnolia, oak, camphor, cedar and persimmon trees, scuppernong grapes and a variety of other lush plantings.Saint Marys ….For those of you who are not familiar with St. Marys, allow me to acquaint you with this wonderful small town.

Everyone greets you with a smile, and strangers wave hello. St. Marys was named The Best Small Town in America by Money Magazine, and is the site of the 2004 HGTV Dream Home. It was also recently highlighted in Southern Living Magazine.The town is small and quiet with moss draped oaks and a charming atmosphere.

Or try your hand at fishing from the pier or in the river and tidal area. The Rose-Lovell House is just two blocks from the Cumberland Island Ferry and public boat ramp.
