About this property

Beautiful 1880s Carriage House w/Working Fireplace

Jingle Bells Square Cottage

We are located right in the heart of Savannah's Historic District. As is typical in Savannah, our property consists of two buildings: A main house and a carriage house located behind it. Built in 1885, our carriage house is in a quiet residential neighborhood 50 yards from Troup Square. The unit was carefully renovated/decorated to keep its historic charm. We even have a working fireplace!

Principal Guest must be 25 or older.

The carriage house has off-street parking for one small car and ample street parking. Within easy walking distance of restaurants (there is one within 100 yards), the Savannah riverfront, and all of the fun and fascination of pre-Civil War historic architecture, beautiful landscaping, antique shops, etc.

Highlights:
--Private Deck with outdoor cafe table and chairs and 15-ft-long built-in bench for seating.
-- Full Gourmet Kitchen with island breakfast bar, quartz countertops, full-size stainless steel refrigerator, gas range, dishwasher, vented microwave
-- Open Plan Dining Room/Living Room. Dining area has 1920’s oak draw-leaf table that can seat six, and a fireplace. Living area has comfortable, queen-size pullout sofa-bed—one that you would actually be happy sleeping on!—custom manufactured by Rowe Furniture in North Carolina, with “Cloud Coil” innerspring air mattress system.
-- In the Bedroom, a Queen-Size Bed
-- Flat-Screen TVs (Living Room, Bedroom, Kitchen) with High-Definition Cable and High-Speed Wireless Internet.
--Full Bathroom with tub/shower combination
-- Carefully furnished with original artworks, framed vintage textiles, antiques, and modern accessories.

Fun Fact: While he was the organist and music director of Savannah’s Unitarian Church, which faces onto Troup Square, the Reverend John Pierpont Jr. wrote the beloved Christmas song Jingle Bells, copyrighted in 1857. In 1985, the City of Savannah placed a plaque in Troup Square to commemorate the song and its Savannah roots.

Old world space in great locale
I stayed here for 2 days. The place was great, and had an old world charm to it (though it's fully updated). It was in a great location too: close enough to walk into town, but not too close where street noise could be a factor. Very comfy place!

Perfect location in historic district
We enjoyed the quiet of the neighborhood, the secluded patio for eating and drinking, the proximity of the Beach Institute for morning coffee and brunch as well as museum tour. The cottage furnishings are beautiful and queen bed is very comfortable. We would definitely return.

Cute property
This property was very nice, clean, and as shown in the picture. Old house but very nice overall. Kitchen was well stocked and big considering size of the house. Location was awesome. Within 10-15 min walk of everywhere. Property manager Pam was very nice by stopping in our little backyard to chat with us and answered of of our questions. A great stay

Charming stay in great location
We enjoyed our stay in the cottage. It’s adorable and nicely updated with every amenity we needed. The bed is very comfortable. We were able to park with no problem in a small SUV. The location is wonderful— easy to walk to River Street or drive to the islands.

About the host

Hosted by Owner

Host profile image
We are a nearing-retirement age couple from Philadelphia with backgrounds in fine arts and restoration, an appreciation for eccentricity, and a limited amount of patience for shoveling snow - so Savannah is perfect for us.

Why they chose this property

When our son was clever enough to pass up the blustery New York area where he was born and enrolled in the Savannah College of Art & Design (SCAD) in animation in 2004 we began thinking about escaping ourselves - at least for visits. He graduated in 2008 and has moved on to other challenges but we continue to be fascinated by Savannah, one of the most magical cities in the US.

What makes this property unique

For short and longer term visits we have stayed in quite a few Savannah hotels and a dozen or so furnished vacation rentals, so we have a good idea of what we want to find to make us comfortable, which has guided us in renovating and furnishing this cottage.
