The Space
One of our most charming vacation homes in Savannah is the Waldburg Cottage property. This historic Victorian cottage is located in Savannah's Historic District off of Waldburg and Jefferson. Just three blocks from beautiful Forsyth Park, it is walkable to both the historic downtown and the Starland District.

The cottage dates back to 1900 and has all the old world charm that comes with its age, along with thoughtful updates. The outdoor space is a standout feature. When you enter through the white picket fence, you'll find a traditional front porch with rocking chairs. The backyard has a beautiful porch for relaxing, a lush garden, and a grill for warm weather barbeques. There are also two dedicated parking spaces in the rear.

Inside, the cottage accommodates up to four people with two bedrooms and one newly-renovated bathroom. Enjoy a fully equipped kitchen, a new queen mattress in the master bedroom, and a twin bunk bed in the second bedroom. The living room has plenty of comfortable seating and a flat-screen TV. Each room has high ceilings with fans in both bedrooms and original hardwood pine floors throughout the cottage. It's a lovely space for a solo traveler, a couple, or a family with kids.

Amenities:
High speed WIFI
Smart TV (Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, etc.) for you to sign in with your personal account.
While the cottage is very quiet, white noise machines are placed in both bedrooms to reduce any sounds guests may not be accustomed to.
Hair dryer, iron, ironing board, and a clothes steamer.
Fully equipped kitchen.
Outdoor gas grill with grilling utensils.
Washer/Dryer.

Location
There are endless opportunities for sightseeing and other activities from the location of the cottage. Visit the historic downtown, the charming waterfront, the trendy Starland neighborhood and shops, or take a trip to Tybee Island.
The cottage is just three blocks from famous Forsyth Park, which spans 26 acres and is always lively – From the famous cast-iron fountain, the Saturday Farmers Market, to festivals, to walking the picturesque tree-lined sidewalks, having a picnic, and enjoying brunch at Collins Quarter, we feel the cottage is situated in the ideal area for exploration and adventure.

We are a 15 to 20 minute walk from the historic downtown area boasting City Market, Broughton Street, River Street, and all 22 of Savannah's charming historic squares. Chatham Square is the closest, and is a 5 minute walk from the cottage.
South of the cottage is the trendy Starland District, with artist shops and restaurants, a 10-15 minute walk.

For groceries, Kroger is 0.5 miles away. There is also an independent natural food store called 'Brighter Day' at the south end of Forsyth Park, along with a coffee shop, wine shop, and a beautiful rooftop bar called 'Perch'. The cottage is 25 minutes to the Savannah Airport If you have a car, you can spend a day exploring Tybee Island, a 20 minute car-ride away. You can enjoy the Southern Belle heated pool, eat at the locally famous Tybee Island Crab Shack, take a marsh trek, or book a charter boat to explore the waters around the island. .

Getting Around
We highly recommend walking around town to fully appreciate the charming city.
We are just steps from the nearest free DOT Trolley stop (www.connectonthedot.com), which runs every 10-15 minutes from the southwest corner of the park and runs through the Starland District, historic downtown, and River Street. Here's the DOT Trolley schedule: Monday-Friday: 7am-7pm Saturday: 10am - 7pm Sunday: 10am - 6pm
Other modes of transportation are rideshare apps like Uber and Lyft or pedicabs.
You can also take a guided tour of the city in several different ways. Among the most popular are horse-drawn carriages, trolleys, pub crawls, and ghost tours.
Unless you want to leave the historic downtown area, you probably won't need a car since you can walk to most places from the cottage.

Guest Access
Check-in with code access provided prior to arrival.
There is typically ample street parking, (make sure to read the signs for street sweeping times), and two private parking spots located behind the cottage, accessed from the lane.

    This property is great. The management company was very responsive to communication. The property itself was small but clean and in a nice neighborhood and only four blocks to the farmers market in Forsythe Park. It is a short drive to downtown for great restaurants and bars. There was plenty of parking. It was very nice for four adults.

    When walking in the door you are hit by the smell of mood. roof is leaking, pocket doors are moldy, floor in bathroom is sinking. bad patch jobs in plaster, wavy kitchen walls, roof I thought was red metal turned out to be painted tar paper. You cannot control the A/C, it was freezing, told HVAC would come adjust but after 5 days they never did. mattress/pillows seem as old as the house. Light, metal cabinet and floor vent in bathroom are rusty. Doors barely close if at all, then once closed they are hard to open, have to push open with your body, hurt my hand closing the bathroom door. Gate for parking is hard to open/close. Tour guide warned us that the area is dangerous and not to walk after dark. She said she often hears gunshots in the area. Need I go on? Wouldn't stay there again even if it were free.

    We really enjoyed being near the park and able to walk to everything we wanted to do. We booked this place specifically to have somewhere to park the car in a safe space off the street so we could explore how we pleased, however when we arrived the latch on the gate had been ripped off, so we had to secure the gate using bricks. It was safe, but not what we thought we were getting. The pictures are a little old, but overall everything looks the same in the house. There was a low spot in the floor by the bathtub and a semi-patched hole in the room with the bunk beds, but other than that everything was great. The neighborhood was quiet and everyone we encountered was polite.

    Perfect spot for a quick spring break trip with two tweens. Loved our stay and the property was exactly as advertised. Quiet street with great proximity to the park, coffee and food spots and an easy quick trip to downtown and the riverfront. We used the pool at Tybee a couple times and it was great, if a bit small for the big spring break crowd. But no issues and we were glad to have that option!

    Lovely old cottage from the 1800s but really need to sort out the electric wiring as lights flicker a lot and sometimes bright and sometimes not! The yard was very poorly maintained and we asked for trees/bushes to be pruned and this took a whole week. There were weeds everywhere and the impression was not good. The outside table and chairs was very rusty and unusable, asked for cushions for this and none delivered. The cushions on the remaining furnirure was stained and mouldy needed replacing. The location was great and easily walkable into city centre. The pool is a good 35 min drive away, which we felt was too far!

    Such a cute cottage with all the Savannah charm you would expect! It is in such a great neighborhood- quiet and within a good distance of the downtown area. Parking out back is convenient and plenty of space for our Palisade. We did park out front most of the time on the street because it was so hot. And the trees provided plenty of shade for parking. Never any issues with finding a spot on the street. We will definitely be back in the future!

    My friend and I had a lovely stay at this property for a girls' weekend away. Overall, the property and location were wonderful. The home is slightly worse for wear and could use some improvements (broken furniture in the kitchen, cosmetic damage like separating caulk, pretty minor stuff). I stayed in the bunk room and noticed quite a bit of dust on the baseboards and some questionable gunk on the walls of my room and the bathroom. The front porch was extremely dusty/dirty and could use a good cleaning (don't sit on the rocking chairs in white pants). Aside from these minor issues with the home, the location is PERFECT and we were able to walk everywhere. If you're looking for a quaint cottage in a great location, I would definitely recommend this home.

    The house was cute, but small and really sized for 2 people. The inside of the property was very clean, but the outside was in needed of some love. The back yard's grass was a mess, the chaise lounge chairs were filthy and both the front and back porches were dirty. Inside I realize that they were trying to go with period furnishings, but the kitchen table was so small that only 2 people could fit; however, we ended up with only 1 chair because the second chair was broken. The living room furniture was small and uncomfortable, and the WIFI did not work our entire stay. The neighborhood was nice and quiet and was a short 2 block walk to Forsyth Park. The private parking spot in back alley was convenient too. All-in-all, we did enjoy the Cottage, but some updates need to be made.

    This beautiful cottage was the perfect getaway for our little family of 4. We walked to Forsyth park every day so the kids could enjoy the playground. The cottage was cozy, comfortable and charming. We only made it to the pool on Tybee one day of our trip but found it to be a beautiful spot! Would definitely love to stay again!

    Wonderful Waldburg Cottage will not disappoint, JUST BOOK IT! We absolutely enjoyed our stay at this beautiful little cottage. We loved that it was centrally located, just two blocks away from Forsyth Park. We could walk just about anywhere within 5-15 minutes- all the amazing coffee shops, restaurants, boutiques, parks and close to DOT when your day legs are done with walking. I also recommend the Downtowner app works like Uber but FREE (tips are accepted) in the Historic District of Savannah only from 5pm to 5am 7 days a week. Wonderful drivers, new electric vehicles and all provided by the the City of Savannah. The house was on a quiet street and we liked that we had our own private parking behind the house, not to mention the lovely back yard and the covered porch which we enjoyed every evening. It was a perfect get away for our girls trip. Nicely decorated, very clean, comfy beds, and everything we needed. We will be back!
