George Baldwin House Garden Apartment

The George Baldwin House was constructed in 1887. Designed by architect William Gibbons Preston. This was the first commission for Preston who later went on to design many of the most famous and impressive Savannah landmarks such as the Cotton Exchange. This home is largely original and rustic on the interior. The low price reflects that aspect of the unit interior but the incredible house and great location certainly are impressive. This is for those who want to experience something far different from a polished hotel room during their historic Savannah vacation. Brockington Hall is right next door. The apartment kitchen is stocked with basic utensils (plates, pots and pans, etc) as well as a refrigerator and stove and dishwasher. We do provide sheets and towels at this listing as well.

There are two separate bedrooms in this garden apartment unit, each with a Queen size bed. The bathroom is en suite with one of the bedrooms and the bedrooms have curtains as doors so this is great for parents with a teenager or 2 friends who want to sleep in separate beds but may not be suitable for 2 couples.

We do not have a sleeper sofa so this unit sleeps a max of 4 people.

The gardens and exterior of the home are other worldly, like stepping back in time. All outdoor space is shared with several other apartments in the mansion. Each apartment has its own private entrance. You have a very spacious screened in porch including an outdoor dining table and sofa that is private to this apartment. Parking is free and easy on the street at this location and the main downtown grocery store (Kroger) is less than a block away.

Being a single mother for the majority of my son’s life, I’m very aware of my surroundings and safety. I felt extremely safe in the apartment that we stayed at. Kroger and Goodwill were within sight of the apartment. The apartment itself was adorable and was spot on with the description on the site. We were within walking distance of a lot of the major tourist attractions but far away from any noise from attractions. If we happen to stay in Savannah again, it will be at this location.

Everything was just quite nice. Parking was perfect, which is a VERY good thing in Savannah. In better (warmer) weather, the porch and yard would have been delightful. Did get to sit on the porch for a bit one of the days and it was delightful.

It was such a perfect getaway for a girls trip. We thought the apartment was so cute. It was a gorgeous part of town very close to the Kroger, which was a plus. The neighborhood was beautiful. We really enjoyed reading in the outdoor area.

Beautiful, historic building within 2 blocks of Forsyth Park. Far enough away from the high tourist areas to be nice and quiet but close enough for it to be an easy walk to those areas. Also, super comfy beds and a lovely outside area!

I’ve stayed in the carriage house for this property before. It’s as described. No surprises. Location is great. I walked to the river and back without incidence. The ease of parking is a huge deal for me. It feels like a relatively safe area. It’s one block from the city free CAT bus line that goes to Broughton where there is much available shopping. Kroger is right across the street. The neighborhood is filled with stunning historical homes. If you are staying in the 703 basement space, look at the email you get with the photos for entry instructions or else you will have difficulty. Just the history of the house is enough for me! I’ll be back!

The other reviews are accurate about the layout and so the challenges of the space. But we were there to completely chill, not do very much and there’s enough room for us to be comfortable and we like the groovy vibe. It was too hot to enjoy the outdoor areas, but I’d like to come back and slightly cooler weather. I love the location and if it were cooler, I would’ve walked down to the main commercial area more than once though is a long walk. But there’s a handful of nice things around there plus the access to Kroger‘s pleasant if you’re just trying to get away and relax, which is exactly what we were doing.

Funky

Nice. Eclectic. Old and cool. Lots of history in that house. The house itself predates electricity in houses in Savannah, which is just a bit of historical info. Loved the property. Nice garden area and lovely screened in patio. Perfect for our little family- myself, my husband and our 14 y/o daughter we came down for a wedding. We had a much better experience than my parents and grandparents who all stayed in hotels. If you want to get an old-world Savannah feel, I highly recommend it. The washcloths were a little funky. But other than that, zero complaints. I would definitely book here again.

Location was great. Historical house was beautiful on outside but very old and needed some updates inside such as bathroom sink, etc. very noisy upstairs from a toddler I believe, which was not comfortable. Very affordable, though compared to other VRBO.

Funky layout but great location

Incredible historic house with all the expected downsides, but the ambiance and location made up for them. Strange layout, one bedroom has bathroom and dining table, the other has the only tv. Living room type area is a covered screened in porch where we spent the majority of our time. Walking distance to Kroger grocery and fun cafe a block away. Free on street parking never had to park more than a block away. Would highly recommend but remember this is an historic house with floors that aren’t all level, and bathroom is only accessible through one of the bedrooms. Funky floor plan but quirky chic

Disappointed

I hate to give poor feedback, but feel I owe it to others who rely on reviews. While the picture of the home is stunning, the entry to the apartments are in back so you never see the front porch or the main house. The apartments are dark so have more of a basement feel. Very little if anything has been done to remodel the apartment we stayed in. Kind of a creepy feeling to stay there. The beds were comfortable and we only stayed one night so cannot say much about the shared porch area. The furnishings were mismatched and clearly cheap garage sale items. I’ve stayed in other old homes in Savannah. This one just isn’t up to par. I cannot recommend.

Authentic Historic Experience

This property was great for my sister and I. The location was ideal in the Historic District just 2 blocks from Forsyth Park and we were able to walk and take the free DOT bus everywhere we wanted to go. It is hard to tell from photos, but the apartment has not experienced recent renos. We were looking for a character experience so it was ideal for us.the screen porch was our go to for morning coffee and our evening glass of wine.
