This place was so charming and the location was perfect for my work conference and just enjoying the city. We did not have any issues getting parking near the house and found almost everything we wanted to enjoy was within walking distance. Highly recommend!

Weekend in Savannah

This was a very nice location to enjoy historic Savannah. Both couples enjoyed the home, the location, and even the ease of parking there. This would be an easy choice for another visit to Savannah.

The place was nice, but the beds were rock hard which made for long night and sore hips.

Other then hard beds and only three comfortably chairs in the living room, We liked our stay.

Quick getaway

Good location, walked all over Savannah! For those that don’t know, parking is usually an additional cost about everywhere in Savannah. Paid parking is available right in front of the house - Savannah has a nice app for your phone that makes it easy.

Great girls weekend

Two friends and I stayed for a long girls weekend in Savannah and had a great time at this property! Centrally located and easy walking distance to all big attractions. The rental was clean, the managers were very friendly, and there was plenty of room for all of us to stay comfortably. Would highly recommend and look forward to coming back!

Charming House in the Quiet Side of the North Historic District

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We went to Savannah to celebrate a friend's 30th birthday. The house's location felt very central and very walkable to our activities. The beds were comfy and the house was quite clean with easy check-in and check-out instructions. The house included a binder with the historic restoration process, which was a cool bonus. We didn't experience anything spooky during our stay, but maybe the next time we come to visit Savannah!

Wedding weekend

It is old. The location is ideal. Nothing is out of walking distance. If you appreciate the history of the home and the pains it must have taken to modernize it to todays standards you would understand what a wonderful job the Lucky Savannah crew did to make this a great vacation stay. 5 stars

Perfect historic cottage

Beautiful, historic cottage. We felt like we had stepped back in time. Rooms were roomy and comfortable. The living room only accommodates 3 people, which was tough for 3 couples. The downstairs tub was uneven, so be careful when showering. This cottage was close to everything and we walked everywhere.

Such a charming historic home

The George Jones cottage is an adorable little historic home. It was well appointed and very comfortable for my husband and I and our two teens. The location was perfect for us. It is walking distance to most everything in downtown while also being just far enough away from the noise and hustle and bustle of Broughton Street. It was very easy to find parking right in front of the house. Every day, in the area was very safe and quiet. If you’re looking for modern luxury accommodations, this is not for you, but if you want an authentic experience that matches the history of Savannah, you can’t do better than this little cottage.
