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.

"Other reviewers nailed it. Nothing fancy here, but it's neat, clean, freshly painted, and has that ambiance of the places you used to stay in the way-back. A Disney resort it isn't, but when you're looking for a bed (very tightly made - military style), shower, fridge, microwave, and a Publix 10 minutes away, the Economy Inn in Kingsland, GA scores very well. Amelia Island and Fernandina Beach are half an hour away if you're looking for a memorable experience for your family and your budget is...

"Room was very dark. It turned out that it was missing 2 light bulbs in a lamp and 1 in the restroom. After asking the receptionist for the light bulbs, they came to deliver them and we realized the lamp was missing the outlet prongs; therefore, it didn’t work. The room was decent and comfortable but the location is not the best. I also didn’t like the fact that many people are hanging out outside their rooms in chairs, smoking, drinking or just being loud. This hotel has potential to be better...
