Just what we needed!
My husband and I spent a few days in Savannah to visit with our youngest child. This adorable old cottage was so welcoming. We enjoyed feeing at home and relaxing as we watched a whole different world go by from the big beautiful windows. The neighborhood is gorgeous. The location is wonderful, an easy walk to enjoy food and shopping on Broughton and River St. We absolutely loved our stay and would definitely stay here again and again!

Perfect Vacation Cottage
The cottage is perfectly located across from Greene Square. It's a quiet, safe area, but a short walk to anywhere you want to go. Every evening before dinner, I enjoyed a glass of wine on the front porch. It's fun to sit outside and watch the horse drawn carriages clopping along. The cottage is clean, comfortable and roomy. Tastefully furnished, with plenty of soft towels. Beds were comfortable. The host was quick to respond when I had a question. Parking directly in front of the cottage was always available. For future visits, I will check availability here first. It was perfect for our needs.
host kindly sent a ton of valuable information p

Sweet home!
We enjoyed our stay here. It’s nice not to have a big mgt company managing the property. I have stayed at others like that in Savannah and the difference shows. This house is clean and it’s easy … VERY easy …to get in touch with the owner. Parking is available on the street all the time which is nice.
Book it!!!

Loved it!
Great property, property manager was very accessible. Walked to so many great places, wish we had more time! Lots of history!
Everything about this rental was wonderful! It is an adorable gingerbread cottage circa 1880 but modernized including laundry and dishwasher. Communicating with Victor could not have been easier. He is very responsive and helpful with restaurant recommendations that were spot on. The house is perfectly situated in the historic district facing one of the squares and within walking distance of so much. Trolley tours and carriage horse tours pass by daily.
Kitchen is well equipped with everything you need to prepare and enjoy any meal at home. You even have your choice of coffee maker, Mr Coffee or Keurig.
We fell in love with Savannah and would not hesitate to come back to this rental next time we find ourselves headed back to the beautiful hostess city.

Fabulous time in Savannah
It was an antique cottage which had been restored while maintaining its character. Spacious living room, dining room and master bedroom. Located in the historic district and within walking distance to downtown, River Street and Forsyth Park. Short walk to 17Hundred90, which served as our neighborhood hangout. Friendly neighbors made us feel welcome. Host, Victor, was very accommodating. We hope to return.

Sister Getaway in Savannah!!
One of my sisters and I had a brief but packed visit to beautiful Savannah! We both loved the house, the location and the spectacular care the homeowners provided us in accommodating our delayed arrival/departure ans navigating the superb food scene in town! Our faces lit up like kids on Christmas when we first heard the horse-drawn carts as they passed by the house! The house was impeccably clean and comfortable and exuded true southern charm! Hope to visit again soon!

A perfect Savannah stay! Great Location and Awesome Owners!!!
This place is a gem! Perfect location in Savannah with great proximity to the waterfront and everything else you want to see and do in Savannah. Right on a corner of Greene Square with a lovely view and perfect front porch for an afternoon of wine and snacks! The owners could not have done more to make this a great stay. They communicated regularly and provided all information we needed and they ensured we had everything we needed to enjoy the "Gingerbread Cottage". We would definitely stay again!

A Delightful House & Perfect Location!
We absolutely adored The Gingerbread House! It was a wonderful blend of a historic home coupled with all the comforts you come to expect. The hosts have thought of everything in this beautifully decorated property! We loved sitting on the front patio enjoying wine and looking out onto the lovely and quiet Greene Square. We even were treated to a local bag piper playing in the square on Friday afternoon. If you want the quintessential Savannah experience, this is the place for you! The location was perfectly situated to everything - we parked the car out front the night we arrived and didn’t use it till we went home Sunday. It was a delightful stay and we look forward to renting again next to time we’re in Savannah!

Savannah New Years stay
The cottage is so charming and the location excellent. From your front porch you look out onto a beautiful square. It is very walkable to many places. Victor is a great landlord. He is extremely helpful with information about Savannah. He even brought a bicycle for my son to use. I highly recommend. I look forward to returning.
