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.

We loved that the kitchen was fully stocked of cookware and utensils, we were able to cook our meals there. The place was beautiful; my partner loved the historic build and modern renovations. There were plenty of clean linens and towels, water filter pitcher, cool central air and laundry amenities. We were able to walk everywhere we wanted to visit in Savannah and just a short drive to Tybee beach. Our stay was luxurious, comfortable and private.

We absolutely loved this loft! Brandon and Chase were wonderful hosts and we also met the owner, Scott, who was very nice. The kitchen is small but met our needs very well. The beds were especially comfortable and after spending full days walking all around Savannah with feel-like temps around 111 degrees, those comfy beds were well-received. The location is two blocks from Forsyth Park and the beautiful homes and boutiques around there. It’s about a 25 min walk to the river so we got our exercise in. Parking was also easy to find and I never paid for metered parking as there was ample free parking. Truly a perfect stay with wonderful hosts!

My husband, adult son and I spend a few days in their delightful carriage house and we loved it so much that both my son and we fantasized about living there forever! It was so tastefully and thoughtfully decorated--just the right amount of stuff, everything you'd need, all gorgeous, comfortable and perfectly functional. (The beds were comfortable, the sheets were fabulous, and my son took off his pillowcase to find out who made the pillows--they were great!) The three of us actually discussed how much we appreciated the good taste and care that had gone into every choice that had been made when it came to furnishing the place. Beautiful neighborhood, quiet little street, top-notch air-conditioning. (No small thing in Savannah in July.) All of us would stay there again in a heartbeat.

Branden & Chase are perfect hosts. Very friendly, attentive and caring. The house was very cute, tastefully and functionally equipped, and also very clean. The location was perfect right in the middle of downtown Savannah. The location is very calm and quiet. You can park you car nearby for free. When occasionally the ac turns on, it works very well, but it's somewhat loud. We got used to it, though, since the hot weather was worse. Overall we had a wonderful experience! Thank you, Brandon & Chase!

As long as you have great mobility (can do stairs, walk uneven cobblestones, and walk a block or two from the car) THIS is the place! I had an amazing week here and felt right at home. It has all the little details- Britta filter for cold water, great AC and a ceiling fan, soft blankies on the couch and bed, darling decor with welcoming, soft lighting, and laundry!). Huge closet, couch, and full length mirror in the primary bedroom. I had zero problem finding free street parking a block and a half or so away. And very responsive hosts! I was solo part of the time, with a friend part of the time, and with my daughter for one of the nights and this place worked great for all three scenarios.

We had a lovely stay and Brandon and Chase's place. They were very responsive, arranged for a late check-out and the house was everything we needed in a great location. I highly recommend it.
