The Retreat on Broad @ Trustees' Garden

Summary:
On St. Paddy's Parade Rt! Luxury and history combine to provide an incredible Savannah lodging experience. With two ensuites, this second-floor apartment offers newly renovated spaces that bring all the comfort you expect today while preserving the historical touches of this long-standing piece of Savannah’s colonial past. Steps from The Pirate House (Savannah’s oldest building), minutes to the Riverwalk, and on the original grounds of Trustee Gardens, history surrounds your stay at The Retreat.

The Space:
This home was built at the turn of the century and combined the popular federal design with aspects of antebellum and colonial styles. Beautifully kept through the years, the home still features original wood flooring, an original fireplace, and original hand-crafted crown modeling. Built on the grounds of the original Trustees’ Garden, this historic area of Savannah has played a significant role in Savannah’s history. First as an experimental garden, then as various military forts and Ironworks, and now as an incredible combination of beautiful venues. You are genuinely staying atop Savannah’s history with a stay at The Retreat on Broad.
Enter the apartment through a private entrance and immediately step into an open floor plan with original heart pine floors, two flanking fireplaces, and high ceilings with oversized windows filling the space with natural light.
The living area and kitchen flow perfectly together, creating an inviting space perfect for cooking and relaxing after a day of exploring. In the living room, enjoy an oversized sofa and smart TV ready to stream your favorite shows. The kitchen features all custom cabinetry and copper-tone granite countertops. Brand-new stainless-steel appliances and all the essentials provide you with everything you need to cook full meals during your stay.
Step from the kitchen to a long dining room that leads to your private balcony that has beautiful skyline views and overlooks a shared courtyard. The terrace features comfortable outdoor seating for four, while the handcrafted dining table provides seating for six.
The apartment's two ensuites are located at opposite ends of the living room. The first ensuite provides a king mattress with crisp linens, plush pillows, relaxing tones of blue and white, and a smart TV. Four oversized windows provide ample natural light, and the original heart pine floors add a warm touch to the room. Directly off the suite is your private bathroom with a pedestal sink and low-entry shower wrapped in white subway tile.
The second ensuite is outfitted with a new queen mattress and fresh white linens. The room has ample closet space, a smart TV, and a dedicated workspace ideal for working remotely. In the corner of the room, enter the suite's private bathroom with a pedestal sink and shower/tub combination. All bathrooms are supplied with the essentials, including toilet paper, towels, shampoo, body wash, and a hair dryer.
Are you traveling in a slightly larger group? The living room sofa pulls out into a full mattress providing a third sleeping accommodation.
Are you working remotely during your stay? Our fiberoptic WIFI provides sufficient speeds for video conferencing and multitasking.

Guest Access:
You may use/access anything in the apartment. Our home is yours! We encourage you to use the rear porch to enjoy some morning coffee or evening cocktails :)

BEST IN SAVANNAH

From check in to check out it was amazing. The best experience with a host and house. We enjoyed how you could walk to all the restaurants and bars and the trolly being right outside the house! Parking was no issue at all and not expensive. House was tidy and charming. Overall 10/10!!!

Bright, clean, great location

Great apartment. Very clean and convenient location to walk to the historic section of town. Loved the high ceilings and big windows. Appreciated that the hosts provided shampoo, dish and laundry detergent, etc. Only downside was the occasional city noises (street sweeping, etc) that accompany city living (earplugs provided by hosts :-))

Perfect accommodations

The location was perfect, easy to walk to everything but quiet enough to relax. The unit was in an old building but that just added to the charm. We had so much room, loved that there was 2 en suites separated by the living area. We were able to enjoy time on the porch also which was refreshing. Parking was never an issue, always parked out front. There was nothing more we could of asked for.

Classic and comfy

The property is historic with modern amenities. We appreciate the owners kept the charm of an antique property and updated it with classic styling and decor. The rooms were very comfortable, well appointed, and we are happy to have booked here and not a hotel. We loved the proximity to so many of Savannah’s attractions and restaurants. We would definitely stay here again and are already talking about our next visit here.

Amazing stay in Savannah

2 couples - first time in Savannah and it was wonderful. This rental was perfect for our few days visiting. It was in a perfect location and was super spacious for the four of us. Beautifully appointed in a great older building that's been lovingly restored. Communication with the host was great as well.

Our summer getaway

The Retreat couldn’t have been lovelier! Big and spacious, comfortable beds, en suite in each bath, made everything so much easier. The kitchen had everything you could ask for, the dining room table was lovely and made for a great place to get together for breakfast and dinner. But the outdoor terrace was our favorite, despite the heat. I would highly recommend this for any family up to 6 people.The location was perfect to go to Foresth park, River street/front and Congress for great restaurants and nightlife as well as the perfect spot to enter the pathway to Tybee Island. Thank you, our family had a great time!

Even better in person

This property is spacious, clean, & meticulously decorated. As lovely as the photos are, they don’t do the home justice. The location is prime & in walking distance to essentially everything of note. The only time we drove was to visit Bonaventure Cemetery which is about 3miles away. The owners were extremely helpful & quick to reply. They also thoughtfully equipped the home stylishly & comfortably. Parking is metered and easily paid for with the Park Savannah app. Plan on $1.00/hour or $12.00/day.

Very nice place!

My husband and I shared the space with my sister and her husband for 1 week. Bed w/bath on each end of the living space was perfect and very comfortable. The only drawback was noise and parking. There's no off-street parking. Recommend purchasing parking passes for each day of your stay or you would have to keep up with the parking meters. E Broad being somewhat of a main road, and restaurant next door with dumpsters behind the house gave way to cars/trucks during the early morning hours; along with loud metal banging sounds from the dumpsters. The host was kind to leave ear plugs in both bedrooms. This space is clean and well equipped for any stay. The space is highly recommended.
