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.

„It’s a great property with direct access to the beach. The only complaint I have is parking. They have assigned spots for the units, and someone was parked in our spot the entire stay. Fortunately the property wasn’t completely full, so we parked in other spots, but it was embarrassing when a couple stopped us to let us know we were parked in their spot. We explained and apologized then moved our vehicle. “

„This was hands down the best experience I’ve had with VRBO. The host, Brenda, made everything super easy, and the space was furnished with everything you possibly could need … plenty of paper products, linens, beach gear (including a cooler!), kitchen ware, etc. I stayed in the 2 BR unit, which was spacious and nicely furnished, both inside and out. The photos don’t do justice to how lovely this unit is. Brenda was a delightful host, and I highly recommend this listing. I hope to return next ...

The house itself was fully stocked with everything we needed, from kitchen essentials to beach gear, which made the trip stress-free and enjoyable.The owner was incredibly responsive and helpful throughout our stay, which really made a difference.

10/10 Hervorragend

"Das Hotel war für unseren Aufenthalt perfekt. Die Zimmer waren wirklich sehr groß und gut ausgestattet. Abends waren wir schräg gegenüber im Coastal Grill essen, dort war es sehr gut. Das Frühstück war für amerikanische Verhältnisse sehr gut. Der Pool war groß und warm. Wir würden wieder dort übernachten."
