Solar Powered Suite In Starland

Carefully curated solar-powered rooms for 2 in a historic 1920 duplex in the artistic heart of town. Walkable Starland is home to creative professionals, students, restaurants & galleries. Not far from downtown or stay close & party like a Savannahian!

These spacious accommodations are an excellent home base for your time in Savannah.
The bedroom features repurposed & vintage furnishings with a comfortable queen sized bed. This room overlooks the courtyard garden and isalso adjacent a private bathroom. The bedroom is equipped with a powerful white noise machine to create a quiet sanctuary in an otherwise noisy city. The parlor is outfitted with a coffee maker and a small refrigerator.
This private suite shares walls with another listing, but that suite has a separate entrance, only the courtyard is shared space.
This historic house is in the early stages of a transformation into a showplace for local, sustainable residential design. In our first year of operation we have been able to install a solar energy system which is now generating 80% of our electricity. Our goal is to set new examples for the sustainable and creative retrofitting of historic homes, while boosting the community we are so privileged to be embedded in.

The Starland Arts District, first developed in the 1920's for middle-class streetcar commuters, is the most exciting neighborhood in Savannah right now (ask the New York Times, they've profiled us twice). Most recently, our neighborhood was voted Best Neighborhood In The South by Southern Living Magazine. We are steps away from the Green Truck Pub, (the city's favorite restaurant), Starland Yard, Victory North, and the world famous Back in the Day Bakery. Graveface Records and the super local Bull Street Shopping and Arts corridor is just 4 short blocks from out door. Our street dead-ends into the aptly named Wormhole, a unique dive bar that hosts great bands and stand-up comedy (Dave Chappelle, David Spade and Adam Sandler have all performed impromptu sets there in recent years). Art March Savannah has us surrounded the First Friday of each month, with the Savannah College of Art and Design foundation studies school right up the road. Our neighbors, SCAD faculty, are presently converting their huge adjacent lot into an urban farm. This is the freewheeling, vital part of Savannah you've heard about, where people still throw block parties, paint murals and build stuff with their hands. All this action means it's also noisy sometimes, let us mention again the train tracks that cut their way across town. We have a love-hate relationship with these trains, but if you are a light sleeper or have trouble falling asleep, you won't find them charming. (Be sure to take a look at a map of Savannah before you choose your lodging as these tracks cut right across the heart of the city and can be heard loud and clear from most of downtown). An easy one-mile bike ride gets you to the Landmark Historic squares and riverfront tourist attractions, but you won't feel a bit disappointed to come home to Starland each night. It's impossible to spend time here and not feel inspired. If you are looking for the River Street tourist experience or an Olde South Antebellum B&B, please look elsewhere, we are NOT those hosts and this is not that neighborhood. Ours is a part of town where people still live, business are owned by locals and everyone takes great pride in our community. We are the most economically and racially diverse neighborhood in Savannah, and are proud to boast the LOWEST crime rates of anywhere downtown. If this diversity is off-putting to you, please stop now and stay somewhere else. If you respect the uniquely wonderful fabric of integrated and emerging New Southern communities, if you're as excited as we are to be immersed in a Savannah's creative culture, we're probably friends already and we really look forward to meeting you!
