The Cottage @ Trustees' Garden | Walk To River!

Summary:
Welcome to The Cottage at Trustees’ Garden, a wonderfully situated retreat in Savannah's urban landscape. Featuring one bedroom, one bathroom, and a beautiful garden, The Cottage provides a peaceful space among some of the most historically significant locations in Savannah. Atop the original grounds of Trustees’ Garden, you will be just minutes away from the Riverwalk, Washington Square, dining, boutique shopping, and the many museums the downtown offers.
SVR-01493

The Space:
This home was built at the turn of the century and combined the popular federal design with aspects of antebellum and colonial styles. Beautifully kept through the years, the home still features original wood flooring, an original fireplace, and original hand-crafted crown modeling. Built on the grounds of the original Trustees’ Garden, this historic area of Savannah has played a significant role in Savannah’s history. First as an experimental garden, then as various military forts and Ironworks, and now as an incredible combination of beautiful venues. You are genuinely staying atop Savannah’s history with a stay at The Cottage.
Embark on your stay by entering the cottage through a private entrance nestled in a garden space filled with greenery and brick-laying paths.
Directly inside, step into the dining and kitchen space. In the dining area is a table set for four, accented by abundant natural light from surrounding windows. Take the short hallway to the galley kitchen with new stainless steel appliances, custom oak cabinets, and everything you need to cook. Pots, pans, kitchen utensils, dishware, and small appliances ensure the kitchen is ready for a short or extended stay.
Walk along the original hardwood floors to the living room featuring high ceilings, oversized windows, a large love seat, and reading chairs. Custom features are everywhere, including a crystal chandelier, crown modeling, and original fireplaces.
From the living room, enter the main ensuite through double French doors. The suite incorporates style and comfort, featuring a new queen mattress with comfortable linens to guarantee a restful stay. Off the suite is The Cottage’s single bathroom. Find a pedestal sink, shower/tub combination, and all the essentials, including toilet paper, towels, shampoo, body wash, and a hair dryer.
Are you working remotely during your stay? High-speed WIFI supports videoconferencing and multitasking.
Host tip? Enjoy your coffee on the back porch taking in the subtle sounds of Savannah and the wind blowing through the old-growth trees surrounding the property.

Guest Access:
You may use/access anything in the apartment. Our home is yours! We encourage you to use the side balcony to enjoy some morning coffee or evening cocktails :)

The Neighborhood:
*On St. Patty's Parade Route!* Located on the east side of the Historic District- North, The Cottage puts you minutes from the Savannah River Walk, Kehoe Iron Works at Trustees’ Garden, and incredible dining and entertainment.
Travel two doors down to Savannah’s oldest standing structure at the Pirate House. Walk inside the historic inn to grab delicious American eats with a pirate theme and southern flare.
Enjoy excellent dining options by heading towards the riverwalk and stopping into The Olde Pink House for fine southern dining. Grab some laid-back bites and brews at Spanky’s Pizza Galley & Saloon. Enjoy delicious southern dining with a river view at Huey’s or Vic’s on the River.
Start your bar/pub tour by stopping into some staples of Savannah, including Six Pence Pub, O’Connell’s Irish Pub, or Dub’s Public House.
Explore the rich history of Savannah by stopping into one of the many museums and historical sites. Just minutes from Blue on Broad are the Web Military Museum, Telfair Museums, Owens-Thomas House & Slave Quarters, and the American Prohibition Museum.
A stop in Savannah wouldn’t be complete without a walk-through of Forsyth Park, just a 20-minute walk away. Or enjoy Washington square, another beautiful green space just minutes away.

What a beautiful property! Very clean and inviting. It had everything we needed for our 4 day stay. Chase was very helpful and contacted us to check if we were comfortable. The home is in a great neighborhood and lovely to walk around to sit at the nearby parks. I highly recommend staying there!Donna & Steve B

Great stay.

We had a great stay. It was a perfect location for catching the ferry to the convention center. Short walk to River Street, and there were nice restaurants a couple blocks up. It was very convenient being next to the pirate house and the trolley stop.

Amazing Cottage

Great little cottage near everything. Exceptionally clean, fully stocked and well equipped. Could not have asked for anything different, and that says a lot for a 6 night stay! Communication was great and they even checked in on us, via email, a couple of times to see if we needed anything Will be back.

Adorable Cottage

Perfect size for a couple or a couple with a younger child. It can be difficult to find a property for our small family of 3 but this one fit the bill. We all loved the coziness and adorable decorations. The location made a perfect base camp for exploring Savannah and day trips to Tybee. The owners do a great job of stocking amenities/supplies - I’ve rented many other vacation properties and feel like I’m given the bare minimum regarding toilet paper/trash bags/dish soap. The owners also provided 3 umbrellas which came in super handy during my week of pop of thunderstorms! It’s been about 15 years since I’ve been in Savannah and I had some anxiety around the parking situation - turns out it was super easy! Download the app and pay $1/hr between 8-8. Several parking spots were always available right in front of the house. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
