About this property

Historic District Cottage Suite with a Fresh, Youthful Decor.

Check-in time is 3:00 pm with check-out at 10:00 am for this rental located at 213 East Hall Street, Savannah, Georgia, 31401.

Brockington Hall Cottage Suite is a cozy and different little suite (539 sq. ft.) in Savannah’s Historic District. Situated on a quiet tree-lined, brick-paved street of beautiful residences, it is within a block and a half from Forsyth Park and of the Mansion on Forsyth Park. It is also within walking distance (for spry people!) of most of Savannah’s famous sites.

Cancellation policy is that upon notice of cancellation THROUGH VRBO (and therefore in writing), owners will immediately seek to re-rent the property. If property is re-rented, any loss to owner will be offset against deposit along with $50.00 fee. Transfer of deposit to other available dates may be allowed.

Located about 25 blocks from the center of the City, and redone and opened in March of 2012, your Cottage Suite includes a large living room/dining room combination, a separate kitchen, a bedroom, and a small but well-appointed bath with walk-in shower - no bathtub. The total area is approximately 506 square feet.

The decorating in your cottage suite is fresh and young, with most of the furnishings being from IKEA. There's a table for 4 with tableware, two flat-screen TVs, two IKEA lounge chairs with footstools, basic kitchen equipment, and quality linens on the new Serta queen-sized bed. Your cottage is private, with its own security system.

The informality of the Cottage Suite’s design and furnishings and its modest rental rate make it especially well-suited to the young at heart who wish to enjoy the grandeur of Savannah itself without staying in a formal space. A full kitchen with facilities for light cooking is provided, and you can bring home your treats from Savannah’s many fine restaurants for later snacks. You can cook your own breakfast or have breakfast nearby in the Cafe at Forsyth Park, which has Starbucks coffee. A Kroger grocery store is a block away down the lane, and Johnny Ganem's wine and liquor store is three blocks away.

The main house is located in a tastefully-renovated 16th Century Classic Italianate villa-style mansion built in 1882 which houses an event venue and private apartments as well. You can see more about the building on our website, Brockington Hall, and on our Facebook page, Brockington Hall Event Venue and Inn.

There are plenty of pillows and many additional comforts. All textiles are new as of 2012, and the mattress and pillows have special coverings for your protection.

A coffee-maker is provided, with coffee, tea, sugars, Splenda, and creamer.

In addition to the private entrance, the Cottage Suite has wireless Internet access and cable TV service. You will have use of Brockington Hall’s shared courtyard and of our shared laundry facility (where use of the machines is free), off-street parking for one vehicle, and maid service at a reasonable frequency after a two-night’s stay, if requested.

One off-street parking space is provided. Parking spaces are small. If you have a large vehicle, you may need to park in unmetered, on-street parking, and to be mindful of street sweeping signs.

The Cottage Suite is a smoke-free facility. Smoking is allowed outside the building. There is a small, unadorned, concrete-pad, fenced area with seating where you can smoke.

A two night minimum stay is required, but we'd love for you to be our guests for an extended stay as well.

We will be pleased to show you the event venue if it is not in use. And you can roam at will, on foot or otherwise, in Savannah's Historic and Victorian Landmark Districts.

We do ask that you let us know your anticipated time of arrival so that we can plan our days (and nights).

Cancellation policy is that upon notice of cancellation THROUGH VRBO (and therefore in writing), the owners will immediately seek to re-rent the property. If property is re-rented, any loss to owner will be offset against deposit along with $50.00 fee. VRBO’s booking fee is not refundable. Transfer of deposit to other available dates may be allowed.

Wonderful experience in Savannah
This is a beautiful location by Forsyth. Parking is accessible both by the cottage and the street side. My sister and I had a great time here and would love to stay again on our next visit to Savannah! Robert is a great host and we appreciate all of the amenities he provided for us.

Great location for our Historic Savannah visit
We arrived about 4:30pm on a Thursday for a long wknd. We temporarily parked in the front driveway of Brockington Hall and easily found our way to the cottage door entrance around back. Upon entry, we were happy to find such a clean and neat 1 bedroom apt., perfect for our needs. The kitchen was well-equipped. Found the assigned parking spots out back easily. Enjoyed a glass of wine outside in the small, private patio garden beside our apt, behind the main house, before setting out on foot to explore. Several times during our visit, we walked a block over to Forsyth Park then on up through the beautiful Historic District exploring its many squares, looking at the gorgeous old homes and continuing on up to the lively river district. We walked back around 9pm or 10pm and it seemed safe. Such a lovely city!

We loved our stay at the Cottage! The location was great as it was within walking distance to downtown Savannah and just a short drive to Tybee Island Beach. Robert was a great host who responded very quickly and helped us with whatever we needed. Would definitely stay again!

Savannah Enchantment
Everything about the Inn was perfect. I cannot imagine a lovelier place to stay in Savannah. It was so comfortable and felt very “homey.” It was close to so many things and sits in a wonderful neighborhood of historic homes. The Cottage was also very nice and would have been a perfect place to stay as well. I am enchanted by Savannah. I hope to visit again.

Short stay
We visit Savannah regularly as we have family here. Location of unit was good and it was quiet. It had a nice private outdoor area to relax. There is a venue located on this property but it was not being used, so not sure about noise.

Close to Forsyth Park
Location was great. Off street parking was nice. Close to a grocery store. The host was a gentleman, and gave us a tour of the Inn. The size of the cottage worked well for the two of us for 8 days. We liked being able to walk to everything we wanted to see. The cottage has great potential.

Volunteer trip equal weekend getaway
The location near Forsyth Park was within walking distance of everything we wanted to do. We parked the car and toured the historic area by foot until leaving. We had great communication with the owner, Mr. Bonds. Access was easy. The property could use some sprucing up but was suitable for our short trip.

DO NOT RENT THIS COTTAGE
I saw a previous review that warned about mold and I booked it for 7 days anyway. After 3 days I could not take the pungent mold smell any more and it also started to affect my breathing. I checked out and let the host (Robert) know about the problem. Within a couple hours he told me that he had a specialist to confirm there were no visable mold but will refund me a small portion of the rent. After 10 days I have still not received the refund. I wish I upload a photo to show the mold and rotten soffit that infiltrate the cottage. I normally never complain:-)

Musty smelling
The location is fantastic. Easy walking to downtown. However, apartment is much older than you think from pictures. Last renovation 2010. The apartment was clean but very musty smelling. Bedding and towels need to be replaced , as well as, living room carpet. The garden sitting area is in a said state. With some minor changes this really could be a great place.

Cute for the cost and location was great
The parking was a very tight fit . As you go thru the courtyard door, first thing you see is a very untidy area..leaves piled up on the Astro turf actually Lea es were all over, 2 old white chairs. Would be a very cute and relaxing area if cleaned up and flowers planted. As you keep walking you see 2 doors , ours was the door on left. The space was very well used for the space. I would definitely get rid of the 2 awfully hard and very uncomfortable almost like Adirondack chairs that I had a very hard time of getting out of. It really needs a couch or at least love seat to be able to relax. The bed was suppose to be a queen but more like a full size..so we eAch were hugging the sides hanging on.. but bed was soft. The bathroom sink and shower were good but no over head light that worked… it actually was hanging about 2 inches from the ceiling and you could see mold around it (it was suppose to be a ceiling mounted light). But overall we were happy with the cost and location was great.

Great Location, Cottage was perfect for 2!
My husband and I spent 3 nights in the Cottage and had a great stay. The Cottage had plenty of space for the 2 of us, a parking spot and the location so close to Forsyth Park could not have been better. I had asked Robert if we could see the main home and they were setting up for a party but he showed us around and wow it's pretty special so glad he was kind enough to so. As other reviewers mentioned, it is an older place so if you set your expectation knowing this, it's a great place for the value and location and we would definitely stay here again.

Fantastic location.
The location of this property is absolutely fantastic if you're a walker. It's a block from the park and from a grocery store. We walked everywhere and never needed to take out the car while in town. The property itself is a little old and tired - no other way to describe it. However, the price is right and I'd rather spend money on food and tours than on an apartment that I only sleep in. Host was very responsive. I would stay there again.

Why they chose this property



This suite is not part of the main building and was a modest apartment outfitted in the 1960's.

What makes this property unique

The unique benefits of this suite, at this price, are its privacy, its furnishings and decor, and its location. The suite is ideal for those who are seeking a more relaxed feel, rather than a 'period' feel, and for those who want to walk or travel inexpensively in Savannah's beautiful Historic and Victorian National Landmark Districts. Situated at the south end of the Historic District, we are approximately a mile from River Street, the north border of the roughly one square mile district. We are a block from a bus tour stop at Forsyth Park where you can board a free shuttle or paid tour, a block from a grocery store, and four blocks from a liquor store (if that matters).
