Serene Savannah Surroundings

This property is in a perfect location on a quiet street in the downtown historical district with ample parking. We walked everywhere in the downtown area without a problem. The house was very cute and comfortable. We loved the back patio. It was a perfect place to hang out to enjoy the fresh air. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and are hoping to come back to this property the next time we are in Savannah.

We had a great long weekend in Savannah. We loved the cottage and location. So pretty and comfortable. The upstairs bathroom is a little small but that is what it is when you stay in beautiful old cottage. The host was great. Thank you!

Savannah getaway for mother and daughter

My daughter and I booked this trip months ago. The day before we were going we heard that Hurricane Helene was set to hit Florida. We decided to catch an earlier flight that day so we would still be able to go. Holly accommodated our request for early check in and even left us candles and flash lights. This cottage is beautiful and perfect location! We loved it! Highly recommend!

Clean, comfortable, and convenient

My husband and I came with our 17 year old daughter and our 3 year old mini-dachshund. We walked to Forsyth Park every morning and evening. The house was very clean, beds were comfortable, parking was convenient. We brought our own breakfast items and really enjoyed having the kitchen. Thank you, Holly, for a great stay!

Pet friendly

It was clean and in a cute neighborhood. It was raining so not sure how the walk would be to town but seemed fairly close. The the kitchen is not the most functional but we only stayed one night so it was ok for us. I would have given a better rating but the overall cost was pretty high. However I chose this place because it was pet friendly.

Calm Haven in Savannah

Holly’s cottage was a wonderful place to stay in Savannah. It is within walking distance of all the major attractions and her backyard was a serene setting to relax after a full day of walking the city. Her cottage was very clean and is stocked with everything you could ever need. Thanks for making our first trip to Savannah amazing.

Location great but…

The house is cluttered with stuff and not suited for eating in. The kitchen is outdated and stairs unsafe. The patio furniture was dirty. If you just need a place to lay your head & make coffee it works.

Great place for a 3 day girls’ getaway!

Place is exactly as described! The only hiccup was the really spotty and weak internet since I did have some work to do. Otherwise the location is great…we walked everywhere then took a Lyft back at night. We didn’t use the kitchen at all except for our morning coffee of which there were plenty of options. It was nice having two bathrooms with 3 of us getting ready.

Location was Excellent

My husband and I wanted to take his 81 year old mom to Savannah as it has always been a city she wanted to see. Holly’s Cottage was perfect for us. Mom had the bedroom downstairs and we slept in the loft. The cottage was very clean, well appointed and the beds were extremely comfortable. We loved having our morning coffee in the living room to map out our days. The location was perfect to walk the city and see all the parks & squares. Cottage was easy to find- right off the freeway and street parking was easy. We found a spot right in front of the cottage. We had a fabulous time and so did mom. We will definitely be coming back.

Fantastic location

We were visiting our SCAD student daughter for her birthday. She and her friends enjoyed coming over and hanging with us and the dogs on the patio. All of the kids were missing their dogs, so we were glad we were able to bring them. Everything was exactly as described and pictured, and everything we needed was there. Parking was easy-on the street right in front. Holly responded to questions very promptly. Wifi was a little slow, and Verizon wasn’t strong there. But we were not working so that was very minor, we will not hesitate to stay again.

Very Charming

Owner is very welcoming, kind, and incredibly helpful. Property is absolutely adorable with great location and easy parking situation. Only drawback, is if you like to sleep in, you won’t be able to do that in the loft upstairs because of all the light coming through the skylights. But the natural light is beautiful in the space. I recommend bringing a sleep mask if you have one. We will absolutely be back. Thank you Holly - we had a lovely time!

About the host

Hosted by Holly Atwell

Hello!
My husband, Ron, and I are living our dream in the beautiful, charming city of Savannah, GA. We moved here from NC in 2017 after purchasing this historic property and guest house, which had always been a dream of mine, and to create a short term vacation rental. After a year and a half of lots of tender love & care, sweat and tears, we created this charming and cozy home, full of antiques that I have collected for over 30 years. We are full time residents of Savannah and proud parents of two rescue terriers, Nigel & QBee, who love walks and picnics in Forsyth Park!

Why they chose this property

This property is so unique and charming!!! The Tattnall neighborhood is a quiet gem, wonderful and close to everything. Forsyth Park is 3 blocks away, perfect for picnics, Saturday morning farmer's market. A short walk to downtown, through many of Savannah's 22 beautiful squares.

What makes this property unique

This property offers the charm and history of a home built in 1867, but also the luxuries and modernization of the present! The brick courtyard with deck and pergola, provide a private outdoor retreat, perfect for morning coffee and a refreshing cocktail after a full day of exploring Savannah.....
