Welcome to CraftSmith Cottage on Charlton, a charming freestanding cottage in Savannah's historic district. Exceptionally quiet, this freestanding private cottage offers many cozy indoor and outdoor nooks to relax while “living like a local.” Enjoy a glass of lemonade on the front porch overlooking a sweet garden of camellia and azalea. Or, dine al fresco in the airy screened porch, which opens to a paved backyard patio and garden.

Comfortable, serene space

Recently updated and furnished, the cottage offers serenity in the living room with its stylish, comfortable chairs and couch, Smart TV, local art, and heritage tables made of reclaimed wood. Twin beds in the guest room and a queen bed in the primary suite offer brand-new pillowtop comfort. Beautiful wood floors gleam throughout the home, and sunlight streams through three sides of historic windows in the living room. Vaulted ceilings help the 820-square-foot gem “live large.” A modern galley kitchen includes granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. A front-loading washer and dryer are in the spacious dressing area between the primary bedroom and light-filled master bath. The hall bathroom lies across from the guest bedroom and features a pedestal sink and full bath/shower.

Close to everything

Unprecedented in downtown Savannah, the CraftSmith Cottage boasts two private parking spots behind the cottage, even though you'll probably find yourself walking everywhere. You're just a few blocks away from author Flannery O'Connor's childhood home, Colonial Cemetery, and the historic St. John the Baptist Cathedral. A leisurely stroll through the leafy squares of Savannah will bring you to a bountiful array of coffee shops, restaurants, and boutiques. Return home to the CraftSmith Cottage for elegant comfort and artful style.

    Good job of communicating before, during and after. Very clean, good supplies and convenient to walk to River. Back screen room nice for relaxing. Opportunities - Hot water was not very hot first two days, info on where to put garbage cans on pickup day, front parking spot for very small car only (and partially blocked multiple times during the week). Back spot in alley would be tight for two normal SUVs. Did not use the pool on Tybee Island.

    If you like to walk, then the comfortable Craftsmith Cottage will be ideal for you. My partner & I walked all over the historic part of Savannah. It was nice to park the car & not have to move it, unless we needed some groceries. The cottage was super clean. The beds

    I never visited Savannah before and chose this spot as an alternative to a hotel by the river. It worked out great. Easy walk to Forsyth Park (visit the farmers market on Saturday. Easy walk to several main attractions. And very easy to catch either the free DOT or the paid hop on and off trolley. Close to Urban Deli for coffee, lunch, or ramen and Screaming Mimis for pizza. The house was very comfortable. Just as described. Screened porch was wonderful to enjoy morning coffee or reading in the evening. I always appreciate a professional management service for rentals. Having dedicated parking (3 spaces!) also meant I didn't have to worry about coming and going.

    The rental worked out great. We had plenty of room. It was very quiet. We enjoyed having a table to eat on which it first rental did not. Very nice stay.

    Nice place to stay, but I would suggest adding safety bars in bathrooms to help us ‘mature/arthritic’ folks to make it perfect.

    This cute cottage is clean and the perfect location. The off-street parking is a bonus because we put A LOT of miles on foot! Communication was excellent before and during our stay. Our only complaint is that this rental unit is not stocked very well compared to others. They definitely only have the bare minimum on hand, so be prepared to bring or buy everything you need to cook (except pots/pans), store leftovers, laundry detergent, and beach towels. Plus bathroom linens are the bare minimum per person.
