About this property
The Retreat on Broad @ Trustees' Garden
Summary: On St. Paddy's Parade Rt! Luxury and history combine to provide an incredible Savannah lodging experience. With two ensuites, this second-floor apartment offers newly renovated spaces that bring all the comfort you expect today while preserving the historical touches of this long-standing piece of Savannah’s colonial past. Steps from The Pirate House (Savannah’s oldest building), minutes to the Riverwalk, and on the original grounds of Trustee Gardens, history surrounds your stay at The Retreat.
The Space: This home was built at the turn of the century and combined the popular federal design with aspects of antebellum and colonial styles. Beautifully kept through the years, the home still features original wood flooring, an original fireplace, and original hand-crafted crown modeling. Built on the grounds of the original Trustees’ Garden, this historic area of Savannah has played a significant role in Savannah’s history. First as an experimental garden, then as various military forts and Ironworks, and now as an incredible combination of beautiful venues. You are genuinely staying atop Savannah’s history with a stay at The Retreat on Broad. Enter the apartment through a private entrance and immediately step into an open floor plan with original heart pine floors, two flanking fireplaces, and high ceilings with oversized windows filling the space with natural light. The living area and kitchen flow perfectly together, creating an inviting space perfect for cooking and relaxing after a day of exploring. In the living room, enjoy an oversized sofa and smart TV ready to stream your favorite shows. The kitchen features all custom cabinetry and copper-tone granite countertops. Brand-new stainless-steel appliances and all the essentials provide you with everything you need to cook full meals during your stay. Step from the kitchen to a long dining room that leads to your private balcony that has beautiful skyline views and overlooks a shared courtyard. The terrace features comfortable outdoor seating for four, while the handcrafted dining table provides seating for six. The apartment's two ensuites are located at opposite ends of the living room. The first ensuite provides a king mattress with crisp linens, plush pillows, relaxing tones of blue and white, and a smart TV. Four oversized windows provide ample natural light, and the original heart pine floors add a warm touch to the room. Directly off the suite is your private bathroom with a pedestal sink and low-entry shower wrapped in white subway tile. The second ensuite is outfitted with a new queen mattress and fresh white linens. The room has ample closet space, a smart TV, and a dedicated workspace ideal for working remotely. In the corner of the room, enter the suite's private bathroom with a pedestal sink and shower/tub combination. All bathrooms are supplied with the essentials, including toilet paper, towels, shampoo, body wash, and a hair dryer. Are you traveling in a slightly larger group? The living room sofa pulls out into a full mattress providing a third sleeping accommodation. Are you working remotely during your stay? Our fiberoptic WIFI provides sufficient speeds for video conferencing and multitasking.

Overall it was a wonderful stay in a great location, however, on the 3rd day our water was cut off by the city. I called and texted the manager but due to no response we called the water dept, explained our situation and they came back to turn water back on. When the manager finally contacted via text, it was a simple "thanks for your patience." Under the circumstances (we had no water) we would have expected management to respond with some urgency.

Cute spot for a Savannah girls trip
Cute upstairs 'apartment/home' in Savannah just outside of the north historic district. It was perfect for our girls trip - a little quieter than the downtown area as long as you don't mind a little walking. There are some cute shops nearby. Balcony was perfect for relaxing after a day in Savannah.

Perfect Stay!
I traveled with my husband and parents and this was the perfect spot for us. We shared space but could retreat to our own ends of the apartment. All the furniture was very comfortable and accommodating (including the back deck furniture). We didn't find it loud at all but did appreciate the thoughtful detail of providing ear plugs. Everything provided was thoughtful and high quality - we wanted for nothing. The location was excellent - just enough outside the more popular areas to be quiet but still very walkable to most things we wanted to do. Parking was easy and the payment app made it very easy to renew parking fees. Our host was great with communication—he accommodated a slightly early check-in and even followed up with us a couple of days into our trip to make sure everything was going well. Truly couldn't have asked for a better rental and would absolutely stay again. Highly recommend!

This was a birthday trip. The last one in our group (friends since elementary school) to turn 70. We loved it! The place is decorated beautifully and is stocked with everything you need. It is very quiet and there is an excellent restaurant we ate at on the corner. Will definitely book it again the next time we travel there.

This property was beautiful, actually better than the photos. The beds were very comfortable, there were plenty of towels and paper towels.

BEST IN SAVANNAH
From check in to check out it was amazing. The best experience with a host and house. We enjoyed how you could walk to all the restaurants and bars and the trolly being right outside the house! Parking was no issue at all and not expensive. House was tidy and charming. Overall 10/10!!!
