About Reynolds Mansion on Sapelo Island
Reynolds Mansion sits on Sapelo Island, a barrier island on Georgia's coast known for its Gullah-Geechee heritage, live oaks, beaches, and marshes. Visitors start at the mainland visitor center, then take a ferry to the island. Guided tours cover the Hog Hammock community, the mansion, Nanny Goat Beach, a University of Georgia marine facility, and a restored 1820 lighthouse. The mansion holds marble sculptures, a decorated Circus Room, murals, a library, billiards, and a bowling lane. Overnight stays are offered to groups at the mansion or at the nearby Cabretta Campground. Island programs such as kayak tours, turtle walks, and bus tours are available to mansion guests.
