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 place was beautiful and cozy! I brought my mother here as an early Christmas surprise and she kept going on about how everything was perfect and adorable. There were plenty of great recommendations, and they even pointed out which restaurant options were in a walkable distance! The clear instructions and pictures were really helpful to get situated. We had a spectacular time and hope to come back soon!

Beautiful home, exactly like the photos. The only issue for me was a lot of noise. The people above are loud all throughout the morning and night. Like serious noise. There are two entrances and one leads to a main hallway where again you can hear absolutely everything. It feels like the door isn’t there. The home is absolutely beautiful and the location is amazing as well. I’d stay again it’s just a lot of noise for the price, just not expecting that and did not receive a response when I notified the hosts either.

Brandon & Chase’s listing was absolutely perfect! It was walkable to everywhere we wanted to go and was only steps away from some great restaurants. The Cottage looked exactly as pictured and made you feel right at home. We will definitely be coming back to Savannah and when we do we are for sure booking here again!!

If you’re thinking of booking here - do it! My fiancé and I just returned from our first trip to Savannah for a long weekend and it was the best place we could’ve stayed! Extremely walkable to River Street and the surrounding areas. Lots of restaurants close by as well. We hardly had to drive anywhere. Parking was very easy to find directly in front of the place as well as on the surrounding streets. Very responsive and helpful hosts! We would definitely stay again.

This is a very beautiful cottage. It truly felt “southern charm”. Aesthetically pleasing, all characteristics of a beautiful home. The description is spot on! Location is amazing to the river. You can walk or uber to any location. We walked for most of our vacation. The weather was beautiful, so we enjoyed the walks. They really make you feel at home with all the amenities that most people don’t think about. Hair dryer, cream and sugar for coffee, extra towels, pillows and blankets. Side note: you might want to bring your noise maker machine with you if you do not like noise. You are located on a busy (not to busy though) street and it is an older home. This is a wonderful place to stay! They are great host! Do not hesitate to call them or message them if you have any questions- they are there to answer and assist if possible!

Brandon & Chase place exceeded our expectations. We love EVERYTHING, the beauty, charm and character of the apartment. We love the old and new decor. The location is GREAT is about 8 minutes walk to the river front and about 15 minutes to downtown Savannah. We will love to go back some other time. Thank you! !

Fabulous AirBnb! The decor was so cute, and it was a great location. I was here for the film festival and was able to leave my car parked and could walk everywhere I needed to go.

All we can say about this place is Fantastic. Great location that makes you feel like a local. Feels like home and your neighborhood is beautiful. We decided to go to the beach on Tybee Island one day and it’s a 20 minute drive. Then in the evening if you’re planning to go out, everything is close by. Tons of places to walk to and a short drive to any other place in Savanna. Very convenient location. Don’t want to go out to eat, you have a great kitchen to create your own meal. Also, It’s a really nice home to relax in after a long day walking in the parks or after a day out on a tour or two. Only issue we had was having to checkout… we didn’t want to. We definitely plan on coming back soon.
