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.

This beautiful carriage house is charming and wonderfully located. We parked our vehicle and walked for the entire stay. The beds are super comfortable and the charm of the decor and art made us feel at home. The location is private and safe. We wanted to return in a month but it’s already booked! Snatch it if you can. We desire to return ourselves.

My kids and I stayed at Brandon and Chase’s place to avoid an ice storm back home in N.C. and it was such sweet little spot for a getaway. The property was spotless and beautifully decorated. The beds were comfy and the second tv in the main bedroom was much appreciated with two kids who watch very different programs. The neighborhood was walkable to the park and playground, plus plenty of shops and restaurants. A really great value for what you get. Will definitely stay again in the future.

This was one of the most comfortable Airbnb’s I have stayed in. I loved the coziness, the comfortable furniture and the welcoming feel. The location close to Forsythe Park was lovely.

Very cozy, perfect size for our needs and stay. We only wish we could've stay longer. Comfortable beds and couch. Friendly neighbors! Small but mighty kitchen. I'd definitely recommend and hope to return!
