About this property
The Charlton Lane Cottage
Summary:
In the heart of Savannah's thriving Design District, this two-story carriage house is the perfect getaway with the historic ambiance you expect in Savannah! Nestled in ivy with a spacious courtyard, this is one of the most charming homes in town!
The Space:
This is the most charming, "Savannah-centric" home! This carriage house was built in late 1800s for the Main house that sits behind it.
Carriage Houses, also known as coach houses, were outbuildings, usually behind the main house, where wealthier residents kept their horses & buggies. The carriage drivers were responsible for the care of the horses and the equipment used. These drivers sometimes slept in the upper hay lofts of carriage houses. Horses, tack and the carriages were on ground level.
This particular mansion had 2 carriage houses, almost like a double garage. The Charlton Carriage House is on the corner of Charlton Lane and Whitaker Street.
Upon entering into the charming living space with original 1850s brick walls & fireplace (only decorative now) guests have a spacious living space with dining table that doubles as a work station as well. Open the shutters to allow tons of natural light inside!
The kitchen is small but fully-equipped with every cooking essential, a drip coffee maker, stove, fridge and dishwasher.
Upstairs is the bright bedroom with a king bed and generous storage - ideal for extended stays. The full bath with tub/shower combo and double vanity is en suite.
Guests are encouraged to take advantage of the ivey-drenched courtyard with your private table and chairs. Great for sunny lunches and evening cocktails.
In the courtyard is a small shed with a washer and dryer that are for your use but also shared with guests in the next door cottage.
Nearby attractions include The Sorrel-Weed House, Green-Meldrim House, Mercer Williams House Museum, and the Fountain at Forsyth Park.
Head North just a short walk towards the National Landmark Historic District center, with Broughton Street being the go-to for shopping and dining. Both City Market and River Street are a 15-minute walk from this home.

We had a great time!. This property is in a great location for walking to the many historic homes and places in Savannah. We will definitely book this place again.
EXCELLENT spot in Savannah anywhere you wanted to go it was a quick walk to it all! Check in and communication was super easy and the place was very clean. Definitely keeping this spot in mind for future weekend getaways to Savannah for me and my husband.
This property is just as listed! Adorable little place with a short walk to everything. Bed was comfortable, property was clean, and check out chores were simple and easy! Would definitely book again for our next Savannah stay!
This is the place to stay if you're coming to Savannah! It is easy enough to walk everywhere you need to, but so cute and quiet. It is also across the street from the cutest coffee shop that my friend and I visited every morning. Staying here truly makes you feel like a local!
It was a wonderful place. I emailed about questions and responded quickly. Place was exactly how it is described. Very ,cozy cottage in a great location.
My husband and I decided to stay the weekend in beautiful Savannah after work brought me here. This cozy cottage was perfect for our stay! The location is great so despite some weekend rain, we were able to do some sightseeing!
If you stay here, be sure to go to tea at the Gryphon!
Friendly host+cozy comfort+great location =BIG WIN!
The location was amazing and the size was perfect for my husband and I. The only negative was cleanliness. The floors were a little dirty and there was a dead bug in the microwave. This did not interfere with our trip and we still loved this vrbo.
This property is historic in appearance but very well appointed/maintained. It is a perfect couples' sized rental. The brick and woodwork are exquisite.
The location is perfect for exploring the historic district. Even a walk to the riverfront is only about 16-17 min. Saved a lot of $ on Lyft and/or rental car.
The kitchen and bathroom are modern and well-appointed.
I would 100% stay here again.
We enjoyed staying at the carriage house. The location was excellent for walking and not having to get the car out. The place was neat and clean and very cute. My only complaints are that the cable didn’t work and the smoke alarm would go off every time I cooked something. Beware if you have mobility issues, the stairs to the bedroom and bathroom are a little scary. But nice place, we enjoyed our stay very much.
We visited Savannah for a week to celebrate a special wedding anniversary and we couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. The cottage was just right for two of us and included a lovely private garden area to enjoy the weather. The garden area is shared with other units, but we never saw anyone else. The location is perfect for walking all over downtown Savannah. We also used the parking stall available to us and that was very convenient as well. Suzanne, the property manager, was excellent to work with as well and gave us excellent suggestions for dining. We would book again.
This property was exactly as advertised. It is located in an ideal spot within walking distance to everything in the historic district. We had a rental car for a day trip to Tybee Island and we're glad we signed up for the parking option since parking can be expensive and hard to find. If not for the Tybee visit we would have gotten along just fine with walking and an occasional Uber/Lyft (including the short ride from/to the airport.) The property was perfect for two people and included everything one would expect from a quality VRBO. As others have said, the courtyard was a nice respite and we basically had it to ourselves the entire visit. Suzanne was excellent to work with and responded quickly to a few clarifying emails. Several friends have Savannah on their short list of places to visit and we will definitely tell them to stay at this property if it's available.

The location is convenient to everything in historic Savannah. The cottage was a great size for 2 people, was outfitted with everything we needed and the outdoor patio space was lovely.
