York Street Gem - A Taste of 1800s Savannah

Summary:
This gorgeous historic gem from the early 1800's sits on York Street in the heart of downtown. We are within walking distance to all that Savannah has to offer, including River Street, City Market, The Pirate's House, Leopold's Ice Cream, The Olde Pink House and SO much more! Though we are close to everything, the house is situated on a quiet block right near Greene Square and is perfect for those light sleepers like us :) If you're looking to step back in time and have a true Savannah experience in a house with obvious original features, look no further!!

The Space:
Yes, this home is from the 1800's and it shows! With its huge trim, tall, dramatic ceilings and gorgeous heart of pine floors, the place is dripping with character and charm. We offer 3 king beds, 2 full baths and a half bath with a washer/dryer. We have a Zen-filled, private courtyard wrapped in bamboo and sunshine that is perfect for those "warm" Savannah evenings! Being an original old townhome, it is 3 stories. The master bedroom that offers a huge jacuzzi tub and separate shower sits on the second floor. Upstairs from that are the two other bedrooms with a shared bath at the end of the hall. **We have free WiFi and Cable TV with ESPN Package**

Guest Access:
We allow up to 2 (two) dogs MAX. No cats. The pet fee is $100 per dog, must be paid before check-in.
The entire home is yours! We offer 2 free parking spots in the back along the gate (only 2 cars and must park one in front of the other). The courtyard is totally private, we just ask that you keep the late-night partying inside after 11 :)

The Neighborhood:
We are in the heart of the Historic District where everything is walkable. It is a fairly quiet, residential area with plenty of full time residents living throughout. The nights are so slow and quiet that hearing the horse-drawn carriages are louder than people/cars! We are a stone's throw away from Greene Square and some of Savannah's most famous restaurant's and shops. The list goes on and on but some of our favorites include 17Hundred90, The Olde Pink House, Screamin Mimi's, Hitch, J. Christopher's, Leopold's Ice Cream, Fox & Fig Cafe which are just blocks from the house!

Getting Around:
Aside from being able to walk everywhere, we recommend using Uber/Lyft as you can quickly get from A to B at a great price. Just in case you find yourselves stumbling a little bit from having such an awesome time :)

Other Things to Note:
We are available to guests via mobile Monday-Friday 9am-9pm and Saturday and Sunday 10am-8pm. We don't live far so if you should need anything or have any issues, just let us know.
If you have any emergencies call 911. We allow up to 2 (two) dogs MAX. No cats. The pet fee is $100 per dog, must be paid before check-in.

The management company was very responsive to our questions. The house was charming but one bathroom had a leaky faucet. And during a rainstorm one bathroom and the 1/2 bath had significant window leaks. Dining room chairs were needed to have their hardware tightened, some support rungs were missing. The kitchen only had 3 plastic wine glasses.

We had an amazing stay! The hosts were incredibly accessible and always responded quickly whenever we had a question. The home was spotless and thoughtfully stocked with so many extras like shampoo, conditioner, fans, detergent, an extra blanket, coffee, filters, and more — which made everything so convenient. The location truly couldn’t be beat. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable, well-hosted place to stay!

Super location, all the amenities could not have asked or had anything better! When they say location location location it is so true! Great value in an awesome little city. We walked to everything. We came in from Florida parked the car and there it sat for the 5 days we were there. Just perfect. Updated and super convenient.

We all enjoyed our stay and the location was fantastic. The three flights of stairs were a bit challenging as we are all a bit older in age. The kitchen area is nice but small and hot when cooking do the lack of ventilation, we used fans, provided to make it work. The Master suite is lovely and on the second floor and the bathroom is outstanding in size and comfort. A shower mat needs to be installed as the tile is very slippery when wet but we just used one of the towels provided and it was fine. The hosts are lovely people and their style is very true to the period of the property. A well kept, clean and cozy accommodations overall.

A lovely historic home well kept and perfectly situated.

They thought of everything! Extra pillows, linens, fans! A/C units in every room keeping you cool in hot summer nights! Loved the location as it was convenient to shops, riverwalk, restaurants, parks and more! Quiet nights with daytime tours passing by. Extremely comfortable beds and pillows! Jet tub felt great after a day on your feet.

This location had alot of potential but needs serious attention. Smelled musty as soon as we walked in. Mildew on the ceilings in the 2nd floor bedroom and the 3rd floor bedrooms and bathroom. It rained lightly and we had two leaks on the 3rd floor. Outside patio needs trimming.

This beautiful home is located in an excellent location and was so perfect for my mom, my sister & her boyfriend and me & my husband. We got into Savannah a little early and the place was ready early for us, which worked out so well. This is a 3 story home and that is stated in the listing, but did not bother us at all. In fact it gave us all a little more space to spread out and have privacy. The wood floors were natural and beautiful. The living space was great to hang out in and the kitchen was fully equipped. The bedrooms were all big with king beds and they were so comfortable. The natural light was great too. It was so cool that the trolly tour went right by the house! The patio was our go-to at night to hang out and play cards. Brandon and Chase were excellent hosts and very responsive. I highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a 3 bedroom place in downtown Savannah with walking distance to LITERALLY everywhere. Also, 17hundred90 was right around the corner and we made that our little neighborhood bar hangout for the week as well. Excellent place!!

Historic Savannah

Property was in the heart of everything and easy to walk to restaurants and shopping and tours. Older home in very nice condition. Upper 3rd floor was warm for sleeping. Need to get better air conditioning units for those bedrooms. The rest of the place (1st & 2nd floor) was very cool and comfortable. Kitchen well stocked for convenience.

Overall a good stay

Great location as you could walk to most anything around within 15 minutes. Folks are correct, the stairs are steep and narrow which is tricky for having luggage, but that is to be expected with the age and location of the home. The cons: 1) The courtyard was a bit overgrown and not "inviting". 2) Check-in instructions were not given until we were there and I had to wait for a response to get in. 3) No clear check out instructions, as we had to leave early without knowing what to do 4) Where to park was a little fuzzy: There is a spot off the street by the building with a fence but it is NOT that spot. Instead, you need to enter the alleyway from one of the side streets and go until you see a large opening of cars. It is not marked, but you just need to count the buildings and park to the far left of that clearing that is 3 cars wide and 2 cars deep. There is not a way to access it from the home or the fence, so you need to walk around to get back to the house. Overall, instructions for parking, checking in and checking out were not clear or timely. Pros: Very comfy bedding and pillows, AC/Heat work great, good storage, great location,
