What's nearby

  • Designed by John S. Norris for General Hugh Weedon Mercer, construction of the house began in 1860. Construction was interrupted by the American Civil War, and finally completed around 1868 by the new owner, John Wilder. 

Before Hansford's death, as retold in Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, the house had already been the scene of two deaths. In 1913, a previous owner tripped over the second floor banister, fractured his hip, and suffered a concussion, dying three days later. In 1964, a boy chasing pigeons on the roof fell over the edge and impaled himself on the iron fence below.

I lobed how this property was so close to everything. The space was clean, decorated retro like. Very comfortable bed and it had all the necessary features you’ll need to make your stay comfortable. One con I would say is the stairs. But other than that it was perfect!

Sweet Quiet and Convenient

Nice little studio that is very close to everything. We would have walked everywhere, except it was awfully hot. Instead we took the free Purple Dot Express from the stop at the end of the street. Since we arrived by bicycle, it was so nice to have a spot to have them safe and secure. Thank you so much for having us.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
Disliked: Communication
The convenient location of the property was nice. Very close to everything in Savannah. But the property itself was not impressive for what we paid, being an alleyway. The first door with a security lock was a thin, wooden door - a bit sketchy- and there wasn’t a mention of the narrow winding staircase we had to climb to get to our room. The room itself was clean and the bathroom was fine. The neighbors were in close quarters with the shared patio and if there was a conversation or someone walking around, we heard it all so it was not very relaxing. If you’re looking for just a place to sleep and you’re spending all of your time moving around Savannah, then this place would be fine.

Quaint but Comfortable

Very clean and comfy. Everything you need if you are low maintenance. Bit of an odd entrance. Have to go through back alley and up some very old and small stairs. Did not hang out in courtyard because it is shared with neighbors and there were shirtless guys hanging out there. Other than that, an enjoyable stay. Close to parks and shops. Comfy bed, good water pressure in shower. Small fridge and freezer supplied as well as an oven and cooking utensils. Additional gate locks for safety. Once we figured out where it was located, everything went well.

A dream

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: So much to say about this place. The location - amazing, the design - beautiful, the bed - comfortable. We had an amazing stay here for 3 nights while we were in town for a wedding. My wife and I both worked remotely from the rental unit on the first night, then proceeded to enjoy the silence and ambiance of the unit for the next two nights. During our stay we found ourselves walking around Forsyth park or into town quite often, the location is unbeatable! Our favorite part of the trip was our final night there where we spent the evening in the courtyard and were able to meet the hosts as well as the other tenet. It was a perfect atmosphere.I do not know how soon we will be back in Savannah but next time we come, we will absolutely be looking for this unit again. 10/10!

Quaint Apartment in a Great Location - 4 Stars

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I recently stayed at this charming apartment and overall had a pleasant experience. The location is fantastic, with nearby free parking for those who are resourceful. The neighborhood is quiet and offers easy access to restaurants, parks, squares, SCAD, and the historic district. Additionally, the bed was comfortable, the room was clean, and the bathroom was spacious, with a hot shower and an ample supply of towels. The functioning AC added to the comfort of the stay, although it was a bit noisy.On the downside, the access to the apartment door is through an alley that is cluttered with trashcans, which may not be ideal for some guests. The steep and somewhat intimidating stairway leading to the door could pose a challenge for individuals with mobility issues. Furthermore, there was a significant amount of light intrusion during the night, which affected the overall ambiance of the apartment.The kitchen, although equipped with essentials like paper towels, dish soap, and a sponge, felt a bit cramped and lacked some basic cooking essentials due to limited space and a small fridge. The absence of items like salt, pepper, cooking oil, and condiments made it less user-friendly for those who enjoy cooking during their stay.In summary, this apartment is a cozy and convenient choice for those seeking a peaceful retreat in a prime location. However, potential guests should consider the accessibility challenges and the limited kitchen amenities before booking their stay.

Lovely little place!

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: Extremely clean, well appointed property in the perfect location! This was originally supposed to be a couples trip but we ended up having to bring our 4 year old. There was plenty of room for a toddler bed to be put in the corner. Would definite chose this property again. Our single complaint is that there is a street light outside of the window which brightens the room. Could use a black out curtain or require the person staying to bring an eye mask. Street was quiet.

Brief Honeymoon Stay

This was a lovely property for a couple. Not very large, but all the essentials: queen bed, stove, fridge/freezer, microwave, toaster, bathroom, shower, one table with two chairs, working A/C, a washer/dryer. A very cute classic carriage house with a small courtyard, not far from many fun parts of Savannah's downtown. Would recommend!

Small but cozy

Great location and the place is a good size for a couple or single traveler. Please note, if you have any physical limitations this unit is not for you, the spiral staircase is very challenging. I was unable to carry a shoulder bag and luggage without making multiple trips because the width and depth of the stairs is tight.
