Space

This home was built at the turn of the century and combined the popular federal design with aspects of antebellum and colonial styles. Beautifully kept through the years, the home still features original wood flooring, an original fireplace, and original hand-crafted crown modeling. Built on the grounds of the original Trustees’ Garden, this historic area of Savannah has played a significant role in Savannah’s history. First as an experimental garden, then as various military forts and Ironworks, and now as an incredible combination of beautiful venues. You are genuinely staying atop Savannah’s history with a stay at The Cottage.
Embark on your stay by entering the cottage through a private entrance nestled in a garden space filled with greenery and brick-laying paths.
Directly inside, step into the dining and kitchen space. In the dining area is a table set for four, accented by abundant natural light from surrounding windows. Take the short hallway to the galley kitchen with new stainless steel appliances, custom oak cabinets, and everything you need to cook. Pots, pans, kitchen utensils, dishware, and small appliances ensure the kitchen is ready for a short or extended stay.
Walk along the original hardwood floors to the living room featuring high ceilings, oversized windows, a large love seat, and reading chairs. Custom features are everywhere, including a crystal chandelier, crown modeling, and original fireplaces.
From the living room, enter the main ensuite through double French doors. The suite incorporates style and comfort, featuring a new queen mattress with comfortable linens to guarantee a restful stay. Off the suite is The Cottage’s single bathroom. Find a pedestal sink, shower/tub combination, and all the essentials, including toilet paper, towels, shampoo, body wash, and a hair dryer.
Are you working remotely during your stay? High-speed WIFI supports videoconferencing and multitasking.
Host tip? Enjoy your coffee on the back porch taking in the subtle sounds of Savannah and the wind blowing through the old-growth trees surrounding the property.

Getting around

There's a FREE shuttle that picks up right out front at the Pirate's House!. This is a free "trolley" style bus that circles around the Historic District and stops at a lot of attractions. Additionally, there is The Downtowner which is a City-ran "uber" just download the app and they will pick you up for free! Aside from that, we recommend using Uber/Lyft to get where you need.

We are much more empathetic to those who are honest and upfront with us :) Do not flush ANY thing other than toilet paper down the toilets ("flushable" wet wipes are not permitted either).

The epitome of Southern Charm! Peaceful & comfortable with all necessary amenities & then some. The location is awesome & walkable to the riverfront & many restaurants. I couldn't recommend it more highly.

Overall a good stay. The home we booked first had a code lock issue as it wouldn't open. The hosts were prompt in letting us in via the other entrance. Once we checked in, the thermostat and heat setting wasn't working so it was very cold. They gave us another of their Airbnb home next door which was one flight stairs up. The place was comfortable, AC working. The check in process was long due to this. Brandon and Chase ensured good communication. Highly recommend them as hosts.

Brandon & Chase are wonderful hosts! The home was clean and as expected via the description. What I was not expecting was, enough coffee for the long weekend, q-tips, cotton balls, extra towels, everything you need to start your vacation!! Will rent again!!

We loved staying at The Cottage! We loved the charm and “homey” feel it gave, and we loved how it was walking distance to everything we wanted to do! It was clean and quaint and we’d stay there again! The hosts were very quick to respond as well!
