Poor Management Company
Having us wait in our car versus sitting in the backyard courtyard while housekeeping was inside was a poor decision. Why couldn’t we sit in the backyard? Poor communication from management company. We were not in the house. Please pass this along to the actual owner as well.

Small cottage with a good location. Off street parking for one car (my Tundra just fit without encroaching on sidewalk). Fenced small back yard for pups. Worked perfectly for me, wife and two labs.

Fantastic location and property
We had a fantastic day all the way from the ability to check in early for a small fee – thank you so much!, to being able to be responsive to any questions that we had about the property. This little cottage is absolutely adorable and perfect for a couple and or a few small dogs. The property management team was great. The location is only two blocks from the riverfront, an easy walk to most of the parks, and most of the better restaurants in historic Savannah. The property was well-kept and is neat as it is one of the historic properties While, this was no problem for us, I would make people aware that the best living arrangements are up a steep flight of stairs that are very safe and navigable, but are necessary to get around.

Beautiful historic property, ideally situated
Perfectly clean, well equipped property. Amazing that it is a historic landmark, 200 years old. Situated ideally in the Historic district to explore Savannah. Responsive property managers. Parking on site. Dog friendly, which is huge. Only comment is that the back yard could be improved, but this is minor given all the great places to go just minutes away.

Excellent Stay
We really enjoyed the Historic Cottage. The proximity to River street and downtown allowed us to walk to dinner, shopping and parks. The cottage was very clean and had a nice historic charm. Check in and out was uneventful. We enjoyed the private yard and loved that we had a place to park. The bedroom is upstairs and the steps are a little steep but they have rails. This is one of the better properties we have stayed at.

A Great Savannah Get-Away
This was a great little property conveniently located to so much. Nice little squares within a 1/4 block or so, and a quick walk to Emmet Park. The little courtyard was great for our furry family member, and the house was spotless. The stairs going up to the bedroom / loft are a little steep - but the entire cottage is a great little place to stay. Having a private parking spot also makes the stay easier. No having to look for a spot when you return from quick little jaunts to see other sites. Was a great fun four day - three nights with awesome memories made. The property was a great way to start and end the day!

This beautiful historic cottage is situated in walking distance to so many wonderful places to explore in Savannah. The cottage is cozy, comfortable, clean and gives you the feel of Savannah. The backyard and own parking space are definite pluses too! This was our third time staying there and will look forward to a return visit.

Terrible property management
Manager on the phone was very rude. No early check in. Very corporate. We travel and have been in tons of places. Although it is a cute house for historical purposes, it is very uncomfortable with a small tv, horrible couch and very uncomfortable bed upstairs where it is warm. Would not go back.

Perfect location
This cottage is in a perfect location. We were able to walk to the river front. We were surrounded by great places to eat. We were close to Tybee Island. The best bonus was a private parking spot. We have small dogs so the fenced in courtyard was great. The house itself was very clean. We had the best time.
