Space

Located just steps from iconic Forsyth Park, this wonderfully restored two-story Carriage House is a showcase of Savannah’s enduring beauty—where century-old craftsmanship meets warm, modern design. Privately nestled along the alley off Gaston Street, the discreet entrance on Gordon Lane offers an intimate glimpse of “hidden Savannah,” a quiet residential pocket still surrounded by the best of downtown.
Inside, a dedicated mudroom sets the tone with functional charm and space for umbrellas, jackets, and bikes. From there, the home opens onto a living space rich with character—German-schmear brickwork, original wood floors worn to a perfect patina, and exposed beams that tell the story of the home’s past. Soft lighting, curated décor, and a 55" TV create a welcoming blend of cozy and refined.
The kitchen is a thoughtful balance of old and new, where butcher-block countertops, marble tile backsplash, and modern appliances feel seamlessly integrated into the carriage house’s historic bones. Morning light pours into the quaint two-seat breakfast nook, offering an ideal start to your day in Savannah.
Ascend the wrought-iron staircase railing, a striking architectural detail, to the second-floor retreat. The primary bedroom features a Loom & Leaf queen mattress, a restored fireplace with its original mantle, and sophisticated, calming finishes that elevate the entire space. A generous walk-in closet provides room for extended stays.
The secondary bedroom includes a comfortable twin bed, making it perfect for a third guest, while the full-size washer and dryer are discreetly tucked away for convenience. The updated bathroom offers ample room for getting ready before venturing out to explore the city.

The Neighborhood

This carriage house sits in one of Savannah’s most walkable and historic neighborhoods, just steps from Forsyth Park. The home is tucked down a quiet alley off Gaston Street, giving you a sense of privacy while still being right in the middle of downtown. The area is residential, peaceful, and lined with live oaks and historic homes, yet everything you want to explore is only minutes away.
For breakfast, The Collins Quarter at Forsyth is a quick two- to three-minute walk and is known for great coffee and brunch. Betty Bombers is also close by and offers a fun, casual diner-style breakfast or lunch. For lunch or a relaxed afternoon meal, Local 11 Ten sits just one block south of the park and serves modern dishes in a beautifully restored building.
Dinner options are easy to reach on foot as well. Repeal 33 is within walking distance and offers creative cocktails and elevated Southern comfort food. Vic’s On The River, about a 10- to 12-minute walk away on the riverfront, is a favorite for seafood and special nights out.
The home is located within the Savannah Historic District, so most attractions are walkable. Forsyth Park is at your door, and a short stroll through the historic squares will take you to museums, galleries, River Street, and many of the city’s most photographed streets and landmarks. It’s an ideal location for guests who want a quiet stay while still being close to Savannah’s best dining, sightseeing, and historic charm.

Great place to base out of in Savannah if you want to have a quiet oasis away from the activity. Close to Forsyth Park and right around the corner from the free bus loop if you do not feel like walking. Parking deck up a few blocks if you do not want to deal with street parking. Would stay here again.

Ideal location walkable through all of Savannah’s historic district. Coffee and restaurants all near by. Place was super clean, cozy and well maintained and stocked for our stay. It was fun to stay in a historic home in the area to elevate the trip. Brandon and Chase are super kind very reliable and fast communicators.

The house was beautiful and well decorated and the location is in a perfect spot to walk around the city!! I recommend watching your step on the stairs in the house, they could be slippery if you got socks on!

Over the four years since my daughter‘s been at SCAD, we’ve stayed at several Airbnb‘s in Savannah . This one had to be at the top of our list as one of our favorite. Extremely clean and cozy. I would book it again in a minute.

Our stay was fantastic! We were able to find parking close by and never had to move our car again until we left. There is so much to do nearby and we had luck getting our tour company to pick us up close to the apartment so that we could see other parts of the city as well. The area around the apartment is very quiet and peaceful, with a number of great restaurants within a 10-15 minute walk. Downtown and River Street are also very walkable, making this a perfect central location. We also took a day trip to Tybee Island, which was about a 30-minute drive each way. I would definitely stay in this home again! One word of advice if you book - when you are arriving/departing, pull up right in front of the door to unload/load your belongings. That saved us a lot of time and energy!

Perfect little place for a mother/daughter trip. Quaint little cottage feel - quiet alley location. Clean and with all the basic amenities we needed. We could easily walk to all the sites in the historic district. Lots of great boutique shopping and cute cafes/coffees shops right in the neighborhood. Even hit a yoga class right around the corner.

My wife and I spent a weekend in Savannah and choosing the Brandon & Chase’s place to stay in was a great choice. Walkable to most attractions and restaurants, very next to the best park and spotless clean and organized. Not cheap but worth every penny. Highly recommended. We would definitely stay there again on our next visit to Savannah.

Brandon and Chase's carriage house was perfect for our family of three. It was so charming and the location could not have been better! It was so easy to walk to everything we wanted to see in Savannah. Brandon and Chase were very responsive and took a lot of care so we would know exactly what to expect and how to find the carriage house when we arrived. I would highly recommend Brandon and Chase's place to anyone looking for a comfortable and unique place to stay in Savannah!
