Fabulous Stay

We had an incredible stay at The Bell Tower Loft. The decor and furnishings were lovely - a combination of modern and antique. So cozy inside. And so convenient to Forsyth Park and all the sites of historic Savannah. Our host was thoughtful and checked in with us. A perfect vacation. We will definitely be back!

Wedding guest weekend

This beautiful unit was the perfect stay and added to the unique Savannah experience. The stained-glass windows were stunning, especially at night, and then as they lit up the loft in the morning. The apartment was clean, well equipped, and in a great location. Great hosts, great time just went too fast. Can't wait to visit again.

My sister and I had a wonderful time in Savannah. The Bell Tower was better in person than even the pictures showed. It was so charming. Damien and Kevin were quick to respond to any questions. We would definitely recommend this beautiful property.

A writer’s retreat!

This is such a beautiful home and in a great location. Although we were minutes away from so many places, cafes and restaurants, and things to do, honestly we spent most of our time in the bell tower, hanging out in the cozy living space and cooking meals together. Would definitely make a return visit! Thanks Kevin for maintaining this lovely historic building and providing great customer service.

Beautiful property!!

Decided on Savannah for spring break and we were looking for a unique property. This unit was incredible. Dark wood, original floors, stained glass, and our daughter loved the loft. Owners were very responsive to any questions we had. We’d consider buying it and retiring.

A stunning property in historic Savannah

My family had a lovely time in this beautiful ex-church. It's close to the park and we enjoyed the Farmer's market on Saturday morning. Nice cafés and restaurants nearby, and Savannah itself is, of course, very pretty. Kevin was very responsive when I couldn't work out all the switches 🙂. Some noise through the partition until late night but overall it was a great place to stay.

Our stay at the Bell Tower was cut short due to a power outage because of Hurricane Helene. Our host was so helpful through the whole process to cancel and get our refund. The property is also beautiful and one of a kind. Highly recommend!

Slice of Heaven - South of Forsyth

Very impressive historic property in a quiet neighborhood just south of Forsyth Park, a very pleasant 1.5 mile walk to downtown. We spent most of our time touring downtown (& its Speakeasies!), eating in the area south of Forsythe Park. We found the website photos to be accurate, but being in this space was exceptional. The host, Kevin, was extremely pleasant, helpful, and knowledgeable about the building's renovations. We plan on visiting again soon!

Close walk to Forsyth Park

Enjoyed our stay with the close walk to Forsyth Park and quick hop on the free buses to the historic downtown. A unique accommodation - love the combination of refurbished church and contemporary accents. Was a little concerned with the gap where you could see daylight underneath the closed off doors in the downstairs bedroom. (Would feel more comfortable with the gap closed up). Easy check in & quick replies to inquiries!

Response from VrboOwner on Jul 22, 2023
Appreciate the review. The large front doors in the bell tower loft are the original doors that once served as the main entrance for the church. They are no longer used as there are 2 other entrances with regular sized doors. While these doors are still functional and remarkably well preserved, after 130 years, they no longer seal perfectly within the original door frame. The doors are secured by sliding latches and s deadbolt so, despite their imperfection, they are firmly secured with modern hardware.

Character property in a most convenient area

We have stayed before in a couple of places in Savannah in the area surrounding Forsyth Park, but this is definitely the best. It is a stunning conversion, keeping the character of this converted church, but with all mod cons. The beds were very comfortable, the kitchen was well-equipped and the lounge and dining area were all we could have wanted. We would certainly make this our first choice if we come to Savannah again. If you are reasonably fit, it is within walking distance of the historic squares, and if not, the free DOT bus can be picked up at Forsyth Park. Savannah is definitely our favourite town in the US - so far (we are Brits!).

Historical Charm with a Cozy Feel

From booking to checkout, the process was seamless and smooth. Communication with the owner was great. The house was true to the photos, but once you’re inside and actually see in person the awesome way they so tastefully preserved the historical detail of the home while still updating amenities to provide a comfortable feel, this house easily meets and exceeds expectation. We were within walking distance of downtown, Forsyth Park, and not far from River Street…It is such a great location. The house was well stocked with all we needed. An overall wonderful experience and we are thankful to have found this listing and had the opportunity to stay here. We would recommend this place!

Historic church in Victorian District

Eating out with no problem. Restaurants were within walking distance. What wonderful walking it was. Postcard views everywhere. Kevin was a gracious and inviting host. He answered all the questions we needed answered. The house was extremely welcoming. We cannot say enough, good things about the church/house. It was exceptional. We loved the loft. It was a different perspective than anything we’ve ever been in. My sister has always wanted to live in a church and this will fulfilled her dream. Thank you Kevin for our wonderful stay.
