  • My family and I had a wonderful time in Savannah, and we were very happy with the Norris Cook house. It's in a great location, close to downtown. The house is very well appointed. All amenities, great space, has heating and air, and the beds were comfortable. It has a great touch of history, but with a modern updating that gives you comfort but makes you feel like you're stepping into old Savannah. Definite recommend.

  • We had a wonderful stay in this lovely home on Greene Square. We walked everywhere, even in the rain. The house is a very warm, cozy place and makes you feel like you are part of the town rather than a tourist! The owner was very helpful with all my questions. We really liked the Chef Joe Randall cooking school where we had more than enough for dinner one evening. He's a very fun man who really showed us how to cook each dish and gave us glimpses of what it is like to live in Savannah. We also ate at two great restaurants,the Old Pink House and 82 Queen. The Trefail Museum was a great place to go to in the rain. Enjoy!

  • STOP!! Don't look any further - this is the place. Check out the guest book when you arrive to see what to do and where to go. And be sure to use the town trolley which stops right outside the door.

  • We had a very comfortable stay in this beautifully decorated home with lovely and interesting artwork from local Savannah galleries. It has all the modern conveniences we could have asked for, and it was within walking distance from every sight we visited in the Historic District. I would highly recommend it.

  • First, before we even got to Savannah, we had experienced such a helpful hostess throughout the entire rental process. Randi was a pleasure to work with and was so kind to offer suggestions for restaurants and other aspects of our trip. Then, we arrived at the house on Houston. I promise you her pictures do not do it justice! The location is ideal for walking to River Street, Broughton--just about anywhere downtown. And the free bus that goes through the Historic District stops just outside the door. So, between the free bus and our 'free' feet, transporation around Savannah couldn't be easier. But, more about the house: she has clearly chosen beautiful accoutrements throughout. The upgrades in the kitchen and bathrooms are outstanding--I couldn't have chosen anything nicer. You will be very pleased with this house for your stay in Savannah. Feel free to write me if you have any questions. We sincerely hope to return!

  • I am not a gusher, but oh my goodness, what can you do but gush when a rental is everything you expected and hoped for - and much more? It was immediately apparent that no expense had been spared to restore and modernize this home. We were frankly amazed that such a premium property would be available as a rental. Pictures and written descriptions cannot capture the overall quality of this home and its wonderful location. Every room is a gem from both aesthetic and functional standpoints. Time spent in this home was as satisfying a part of our visit to historic Savannah as all the time we spent out of it. There's a great open-air neighborhood market just to the south on Liberty and Houston. All of the spectacular homes we toured in the historic district were in easy walking distance. One evening we sat on the stoop in our pajamas watching fireworks over the river. We even met the local person in charge of the restoration work who told us stories about the history of the neighborhood. Without a doubt the best rental value we've ever had. (The only disappointment was that nearby Walls BBQ is closed until June 2008.)

  • Stayed for a week in mid-April with another couple. Great home and location. Nice to be able to kick back and have a cocktail before dinner and put your feet up after . Every thing was very well done. Having the off street parking was certainly a plus.

  • My friend and I rented this home for a week in February and we had a delightful time! It has all the charm of an 1800's home with all the amenities of a modern home (including central heat and air, wonderful showers and a state-of-the art kitchen). The location is ideal as we were able to easily walk everywhere we wanted to go in the historic district. It was a great place to come home to after a busy, sometimes exhausting day of sightseeing! I have recommended this home to all my friends who are thinking of visiting Savannah. In fact, I wish the same owners had a place in Charleston as I would love to explore that city and stay in a wonderful "home base" there as well.

  • We visited Savannah during a convention and wanted to be conveniently located to everything happening in town. In this stunning historic home located directly on Greene Square, we were a short walk to the Convention Center and the Riverfront and only a block away from Houston St.and a few blocks from Broughton St. where some of the greatest restarants and shops are. We were close to everything but far enough from the noise of the hotel. In this inviting home, we found peace and quiet and when lying in bed before sleep, we imagined ourselves back in time as we listened to the clip-clop of the horse-drawn carriages passing by. The house itself was perfect. Absolutely everthing we needed was provided and we felt very special being there because our hosts keep such a perfect home. The feel of looking right out at the square or walking outside just to sit on a bench there, was really relaxing. If we ever visit Savannah again, we would love to stay just right here!
