The Neighborhood

The Jungle on Habersham is ideally located in the heart of Savannah’s Historic Landmark District—just a half-block off Bay Street and steps from River Street. You’re tucked into a quiet, charming stretch of downtown that feels private but places you within walking distance of the city’s most iconic sights, celebrated restaurants, and must-visit local spots.

Right next door is B. Matthew’s Eatery, a beloved neighborhood bistro known for its elevated Southern brunch, creative cocktails, and cozy atmosphere. Walk just a few minutes down Bay Street and you’ll hit Treylor Park, a quirky and highly rated local favorite offering inventive comfort food (fried chicken pancake tacos, anyone?) and an excellent cocktail list.

More amazing food & drink within walking distance:

The Olde Pink House – iconic upscale dining in an 18th-century mansion
The Grey – nationally acclaimed fine dining in a restored Greyhound bus terminal
Vic’s on the River – classic Southern cuisine with views of the Savannah River
Leopold’s Ice Cream – famous retro soda fountain with lines for a reason
Husk – modern Southern food in a beautifully restored historic home
Collins Quarter – Aussie-inspired café vibes with great coffee and brunch
Savoy Society – chic cocktails and vintage flair in an intimate setting
Beyond food and drink, you’re also just a short stroll from some of Savannah’s most celebrated sights and experiences:

River Street – cobblestone streets, riverside shops, and open-air bars
City Market – live music, art galleries, and boutique shopping
SCAD Museum of Art – cutting-edge exhibitions and architecture
Reynolds Square – one of Savannah’s many historic public squares
Savannah Riverboat Cruises – boardwalk access just down the street
Forsyth Park – Savannah’s crown jewel, about 15 minutes on foot
With picturesque streets lined with oak trees and Spanish moss, everything about this neighborhood invites slow strolls, scenic detours, and spontaneous adventures. Whether you're here for the history, the food, or the charm, this location makes it easy to soak it all in without ever needing a car.

Getting around

Everything is within walking distance from this location! However, if you're bringing a car, we can park one vehicle in the rear of the property, but there is ample amount of street parking nearby and a garage just a block away if you feel more comfortable with covered parking. Uber is always a good way to go a longer distance across town. The Downtowner is also available, which is a City-ran "Uber" that is FREE of charge! The DOT shuttle bus is free as well and has a pick-up just around the block on the corner of Congress & Lincoln.

Guest Access

The Jungle is located on the upper floor of our boutique building, with a completely private entrance. Our office is on the first level, but your space is exclusively yours. You’ll have self-check-in with keypad access and full privacy throughout your stay.

Interaction

Our office is downstairs in the area below, we can open our door and help you if you have any issues, need any directions, or just want to chat :) Please keep noises to a reasonable volume during normal business hours as we are trying to get some work done ;) Unfortunately we are not on vacation, but we work so that you can have fun and enjoy our beautiful City!

This spot was so affordable, clean, and walkable. We didn't have to drive at all, which was awesome. The hosts are very responsive. We loved our stay and will visit again!!

The jungle house was a really cool, charming, and eclectic space for my friends and I to stay. The only issue was trouble with the lock when we arrived, resulting in a little bit of a delay, but the hosts were incredibly helpful, ensuring that we made it in safely. Would highly recommend!

The Airbnb was great. The location was perfect (a block from restaurants/shops). The reason for 4 stars is that there is a real estate office in the house on the first floor with a door into the Airbnb without a lock. This was not mentioned in the listing. I was under the impression that the full house was private for the Airbnb but it was not. As long as you know this going in, it isn’t a huge deal. I just value privacy and security, which I didn’t feel was there due to this. The apartment itself is very nice and historic. Charming and comfortable.

This was the most perfect vacation! Not only is Savannah great in general, the location we stayed at was nice and private from the busy city life but also within perfect walking distance to everything we wanted to do/see. We had great communication at the airbnb… the first day we had trouble with the tub not draining and they were so quick and responsive, we felt really taken care of. Highly recommend!

We had an absolutely wonderful time staying at the jungle house! The furnishings were so tastefully done and the beds were very comfortable. Although this is close to a busy street, it felt very tucked away during the day. At night there was some street noise however all the bedrooms have earplugs provided, and that certainly did help. The kitchen is absolutely precious and has everything you would need to prepare a meal. We highly recommend this house if you were visiting Savannah.

We stayed at the cutest jungle-themed Airbnb—think lush pinks and greens, super cozy, and totally aesthetic. I’d book it again in a heartbeat and give it a solid 10/10. The host was incredibly helpful, always replying lightning-fast, and the place was spotless with every amenity you would need.
