Absolutely wonderful!

We rented 109 West for our wedding party to stay at and we all absolutely loved it. Our guest kept asking us the entire weekend where we found this awesome place. Everyone was very happy with their accommodations- especially the comfortable beds and private bathrooms. Noise doesn't carry though the house easily so we weren't afraid of waking other guests if we wanted to stay up late or get up early and socialize in the common areas. My husband's parents stayed in the carriage house arriving days before we had rented the rest of the property and found it the perfect place to stay for exploring Savannah. They called us when they arrived and asked if they ever had to leave. We loved 109 West so much that we are worried if we give it the review it deserves, it won't be available next time we want to stay. But, selfishness aside, this place was grand!

The Perfect Setting for a Dream Wedding

Our daughter was married July 3, 2011 at 109 West Liberty. We could never have found a more perfect setting for the occasion. Our daughter surprised us with a quick wedding. We live in North GA and were making all the wedding arrangements long distance. We had 30 days to pull everything together. Helen and Robbie’s recommendations were invaluable. The help that Helen gave me made my job so much less stressful. We reserved the entire property for 3 nights of fun and togetherness to celebrate the upcoming nuptials. The 10 bedrooms housed most of our guests with overflow going to the nearby Hilton. The house is exquisite; everyone was delighted with their accommodations. The elevator made getting luggage to the second, third and fourth floors a breeze. The penthouse was the perfect location for a lingerie shower and for the girls to hang out together before heading out for a bachelorette party. I cannot stress enough how beautifully each room is decorated. The bride requested Crème Brulée French Toast for her wedding day breakfast. Three kitchens made this very easy. The ceremony was held in the courtyard with the guests on the balconies looking down on the wedding party. The bride and her father emerged from the carriage house preceded by her Junior Bridesmaid. The harpist was in a corner of the courtyard. At the appropriate time the soloist stepped onto the stairs to the carriage house and performed. The minister was positioned in front of the door leading into the garage and the posts on either side of him were decorated with floral sprays. The courtyard was the perfect place for a beautiful ceremony. At Helen’s suggestion, we held the reception at Vic’s On the River. The food and service were outstanding. Without Helen’s recommendation I would never have thought of Vic’s. Upon leaving Vic’s we returned to 109 West for wedding cake and dancing. We served 30 people on the china from the main kitchen. It made it so much easier for me to not have to pack and take china from home. All in all it was a perfect 3 day weekend. Most weddings last a few hours; we had 3 days of sharing love and laughter with family and friends. Our guests told us it was the best wedding they had ever attended. Our daughter told us it was the wedding of her dreams. If you are looking for the perfect place to hold a wedding in Savannah you will not be disappointed if you book 109 West.

Best Rental Location in Downtown Savannah

I was in Savannah for my wedding and the entire wedding party (24 people total) rented the entire 109 West property. This property is an architectural treasure and all within walking distance to any downtown destination. There was not one amenity that I or any guest could thing of that was not already accommodated for. This facility made everyone feel right at home; nobody wanted to leave after our time was up. Also, Helen and Robbie (the property owners) were so informative and thorough on making sure our stay there was as relaxing and a joyful experience. Thank you both for your hospitality and we look forward to renting your home again.

Fabulous Luxury Accomodations

A large family group gathers yearly to wine, dine, and enjoy each other's company. Never have we found a more perfect setting than 109 West. We were able to enjoy luxurious bedding at night and each person had their own privacy. For breakfast and dinner we made good use of a well-equipped kitchen to serve cocktails and meals on the beautiful china. How wonderful to have a place where we could visit and enjoy dining without reservations. Lunch took us out to one of Savannah's fantastic restaurants and touring of the many sites. We hated to leave, but we will certainly be back.

3rd visit...this time The Wedding!!

Thank you Helen and Robbie for our wonderful memories in this great house! I told everyone there had been a mistake---it is really MY house (I wish!) We knew from our first visit that it would be the perfect place for everyone to gather and relax. It is a beautifully restored 1871 home in Savannah's historic district and we enjoyed every minute we were there. From a little dinner on Wednesday, a bigger one on Thursday, the rehearsal dinner (low country boil) on Friday...to getting ready for the wedding and photos on Saturday, a brunch on Sunday...the house made everyone happy! All the beds and furnishings were all so comfortable and we loved having so many beautiful bedrooms to choose from, and each with its own bath. The porches, courtyard, balcony and lovely old staircase were all great places for photos of family and friends. We were pleased with how well all three kitchens were stocked..we had everything we needed to entertain. We also loved having the music system throughout the house. The DeSoto Hilton was a block away for the bridal luncheon; mani-pedis were just down the street, and wedding day hair/makeup just across the street. SoHoSouth restaurant and Mellow Mushroom a few steps away made finding lunch easy. We finally got around to walking the squares and visiting the Telfair on Monday after everyone left...having the house to ourselves was great too! We didn't want to leave, and we are already planning our next stay! We would recommend this house to anyone visiting Savannah.

Fantastic Place to Stay!

I would highly reccomend this property. I stayed here recently with 18 of my friends for my 50th birthday celebration weekend. We all had a wonderful time. The house is even more beautiful than the pictures online show it to be. Each room is impeccably decorated with much attention to every detail. The rooms were clean and well-maintained. The living areas of the house were comfortable and beautifully decorated. The kitchen was stocked with plenty of dishes, pots and pans. The owner was extremely kind and helpful in the planning of my stay as well as the actual weekend and afterwards. The location is great. We easily walked to The Lady and Sons restaurant and City Market. It is just a couple of blocks from Mrs. Wilkes Dining Room and some really cute shops featured in Southern Living. It is possible to walk to the River Street Area but it is not necessary since there is a free shuttle that stops very close to the house! I would recommend this property for ladies' trips, a couples' trip or even a family reunion. It is worth it!

Spectacular, Simply Amazing!

"October 16, 2010 – We came to celebrate our daughter’s wedding and enjoyed an absolute fabulous time. Many of the photographer’s bridal party shots were taken in this lovely home. The balconies, staircase and formal living area were just a beautiful touch to our daughter’s special day. We love the city of Savannah. One of the best decisions we made was to rent the entire property for our family stay. This beautiful home was the perfect fit for us to relax and entertain our family and other invited wedding guests. This home is amazing. It captures the historical atmosphere you want to experience, while spoiling you with all of the updated conveniences. The bedrooms are individually unique and the beds and linens are magnificent, all the comforts of home. Everything you need in the kitchen is at your fingertips. The elevator is an added bonus, not only carrying guests, but it helped a great deal bringing our entire luggage to our bedroom floor. The location is perfect, right in the middle of everything, and within walking distance of so many must see spots. The owner’s of this property are so easy to talk to, very accommodating and did everything to make our stay perfect. When we return to Savannah on a visit we plan on staying at this home in the garden level apartment or carriage house. We loved it and you will too. Perfect choice. Brian & Barbara Crisler"

Fabulous Place to Stay in Downtown Savannah

We were looking for a place to have our daughters wedding party stay for her destination wedding in Savannah and found 109 West -- what a find! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The property is impeccably decorated to the period. 3 on property kitchens for entertaining any size group, beautiful bedrooms -- each with their own bathrooms. Large living and dining rooms -- in short a wonderful venue for any group large or small and for rates that are more than competitive with area hotels. We couldn't have enjoyed our stay more.

A wonderful find in the historic district of Savannah

The description of this home was spot on. The photos come alive when you walk through the front door. The property was celan and the staff was very helpful. I would recommend this property to anyone who is looking for a special place in Savannah. Some of our favorites were Gouchos for shopping, Six pence, Mellow mushroom, and so many great nearby restaurants and all within walking distance.The Savannah Theatre was showing Southern Nights .That was a fantastic show of dance and song of all muisc genres. It is also within walking distance. I can not remember the name of the restaurant nearby that has the best crab sandwich and lunch menu ever but all the locals can tell you the name and where it is. You need to make reservations. It is not pricey just packed for lunch . The trolly was great for anyone in your party who can not walk long distances or in the heat.
