The George Baldwin House was constructed in 1887. Designed by architect William Gibbons Preston. This was the first commission for Preston who later went on to design many of the most famous and impressive Savannah landmarks such as the Cotton Exchange. This home is largely original and rustic on the interior. The low price reflects that aspect of the unit interior but the incredible house and great location certainly are impressive. This is for those who want to experience something far different from a polished hotel room during their historic Savannah vacation. Brockington Hall is right next door. The apartment kitchen is stocked with basic utensils (plates, pots and pans, etc) as well as a refrigerator and stove and dishwasher. We do provide sheets and towels at this listing as well.
There are two separate bedrooms in this garden apartment unit, each with a Queen size bed. The bathroom is en suite with one of the bedrooms and the bedrooms have curtains as doors so this is great for parents with a teenager or 2 friends who want to sleep in separate beds but may not be suitable for 2 couples.
We do not have a sleeper sofa so this unit sleeps a max of 4 people.
The gardens and exterior of the home are other worldly, like stepping back in time. All outdoor space is shared with several other apartments in the mansion. Each apartment has its own private entrance. You have a very spacious screened in porch including an outdoor dining table and sofa that is private to this apartment. Parking is free and easy on the street at this location and the main downtown grocery store (Kroger) is less than a block away.

I hate to give poor feedback, but feel I owe it to others who rely on reviews. While the picture of the home is stunning, the entry to the apartments are in back so you never see the front porch or the main house. The apartments are dark so have more of a basement feel. Very little if anything has been done to remodel the apartment we stayed in. Kind of a creepy feeling to stay there. The beds were comfortable and we only stayed one night so cannot say much about the shared porch area. The furnishings were mismatched and clearly cheap garage sale items. I’ve stayed in other old homes in Savannah. This one just isn’t up to par. I cannot recommend.
We had a great time and enjoyed the stay at this VRBO. We loved the garden and it was great that we were so close to the grocery store. Very clean and very comfortable. Got to meet the owner of the home who told us more historical information. Enjoyed the weekend away!
This property was great for my sister and I. The location was ideal in the Historic District just 2 blocks from Forsyth Park and we were able to walk and take the free DOT bus everywhere we wanted to go. It is hard to tell from photos, but the apartment has not experienced recent renos. We were looking for a character experience so it was ideal for us.the screen porch was our go to for morning coffee and our evening glass of wine.
Just me and a friend stayed here, but it would be perfect for up to 4 people. The house the unit is in was gorgeous, and the screened in porch was perfect for relaxing. Parking was easy and grocery right next door. Would stay here again!
Cute 2 bedroom 1 bathroom historic place. Very clean! Looked nice and was accurate to the listing online. Street parking always available. Had a great time!
We were amazed at the history that was maintained. It did have an old smell but that was expected with the age of the building. We enjoyed the outdoor area. We enjoyed our short stay.
This first floor apartment has plenty of Savannah style and charm. We were comfortable and happy to park our car and walk everywhere. The large sleeping porch and fenced yard gave us extra room to spread out.

The washing machine made a terrible noise and water leaked onto the floor. We reached out to the owner with no response. There was only one roll of toilet paper, with no extras. The place is run down and in need of many touch-ups. There were limited kitchen supplies. We would definitely not stay here again.
Amazing historic Savannah experience! Just out the door, we started a day-long walking tour, stopping at the grocery store across the street for dinner supplies on our way back in. Easy in and out and parking to do day trips as well. The rental itself feels like part of the historic experience, and was comfortable, clean, and as described. We had a lovely lunch in the screened-in patio and the kids enjoyed the garden space as well. Amazing stay - thank you!
We had a blast. The property was perfect for my husband and I along with my daughter and her friend to stay for a quick weekend trip. Had an amazing location. Very historic and gorgeous property. Parking was free. We enjoyed it very much.
The place was just as described. It was in a fantastic location, walking distance to everything. The check-in process was a breeze. The place was very clean. Would highly recommend this beautiful mansion.
The property was clean and had a wonderful patio area. We were close to a lot of fun things to do and the weekend we stayed there, a jazz festival was going on! You have to understand that this is an old house,, accept that like we did and we a had a lovely stay!
My daughter and I stayed for her SCADbound trip before starting school there in the fall. We loved it! It’s exactly how the space is listed - rustic and simple. We love anything with history, so we really enjoyed the stay. Wish we could have explored the rest of the mansion, but that would have been a little awkward since people live there - lol! Perfect for our few days and Kroger is literally steps away if you need anything. A lovely coffee shop down the street where my daughter is already planning to spend a lot of time during the school year. Highly recommend!
The house is in a great location. Definitely not updated so if you want modern amenities, avoid this rental. But if you enjoy old homes, this is a great option.
Would not be a great option for two couples, as the bathroom access is in a bedroom. But for families or girls trip, it was great.
Place was just as described and perfect for our stay in Savannah. Place is within walking distance to most of the historic district and everything we wanted to see and do.
Stayed here overnight wasn't a long stay but did enjoy our stay there

We are an "integrated partner" with VRBO/Expedia/HomeAway. We are also a local business. What to expect when booking: Your credit card will show the rent/tax/cleaning portion of your charges under our company name because Integrated Partners are required to be the Merchant Of Record per VRBO terms of service. Only your "service fee" charged by VRBO will show on your credit card statement as a charge from that company and rest shows separately as a charge from our local Savannah GA company. Please be sure anyone who oversees your credit card statement is aware of this to avoid any confusion. If you book on VRBO you will have already agreed to our basic rules and terms (no smoking, no pets, capacity limit, check in/out times, refund policy etc) on the VRBO checkout page. Our system will email asking you to digitally sign a rental agreement with our company after booking through VRBO. Nothing in our company rental agreement contradicts the posted terms on VRBO. Integrated software partners are trusted and approved by VRBO and all Expedia Group affiliate booking sites.
