The Abilene sits on Drayton St which is one of Savannah's primary streets so guests should expect to hear some vehicle traffic. Guests who want to be right in the middle of Savannah find this part of the charm. We share it upfront so you arrive ready to enjoy every bit of it. We do provide sound machines for guests who might not be used to hearing any type of noise at night. Savannah's subtropical climate also means warm, humid summers and the occasional bug. The home is regularly treated by pest control — just something to keep in mind when booking your travel season. Please consider these circumstances if you feel this may be an issue for your overall comfort & enjoyment because we do not offer refunds based on these items. ❇️House guidelines ❇️ Make your stay a stress-free experience by following some simple guidelines: ✓ Check-in time is at 4PM-10PM and check-out time is before 10AM to allow us to prepare for the next guests. ✓ Parties or events are not permitted on the property, and noise levels must be kept down after 10PM until 8AM to maintain a peaceful environment. Penalties may apply in the case of any damage or mess caused during your stay. ✓ To maintain a harmonious environment for all our guests, we have a strict ‘no pets’ policy. ✓ We maintain a strict no-smoking policy. This policy encompasses traditional smoking, vaping, and the use of electronic cigarettes. Please refer to the 'Additional Rules' section for all house rules. This will help avoid any possible misunderstandings.

Other Details to Note

Our home is a historic home built in 1891. There are soaring ceilings but also quite a few steps to get to the 2nd floor where 2 of the 3 bedrooms are. Please keep this in mind if anyone in your party might have difficulty with the height or amount of stairs. If you are traveling during hurricane season, we strongly recommend obtaining travel insurance to ensure your stay is protected in the event a storm prevents you from arriving for your stay.

Accessibility and Availability

Neighborhood

Located in the iconic Victorian District, you are directly across from Forsyth Park and steps from the park fountain. Walk to multiple restaurants for dinner or pick up the free Dot shuttle just 2 blocks away. The area is famous for its towering oaks, historic architecture, and a local feel that is less 'touristy' than the River Street corridor while remaining walkable to everything.

Guest Access

Guests will have full access to the entire home and will be provided keyless entry codes on the day their reservation starts. There are stairs to access the home from both the front and back of the home. Only one bedroom is located on the 1st floor with a full bath down the hall. Two other bedrooms are located on the 2nd floor and the stairs are steep due to the soaring 11 foot ceilings. Please keep this in mind while booking.

Amazing and beautiful! Stacia was very communicative prior to our arrival and continually checked in during our stay. The house is beautiful, impeccably clean, and has everything you could need. The location was perfect, across from the park and very quiet. We very much enjoyed spending time on the front porch in the rocking chairs. We had a fantastic week and can’t wait to return!

This home is in a beautiful location- across the street from Forsyth Park. Walking to restaurants and pubs is easy, it’s closer to a mile to get to the river. The home is beautiful inside and out. The rocking chairs on the front porch were perfect for people watching and enjoying the surroundings! We appreciated the well-stocked coffee machine, the throw blankets while lounging and the decor was so beautiful! Stacia also had beach towels delivered to the home when we decided to check out Tybee! She was a wonderful host who went above and beyond! Highly recommend!

Gorgeous - Steps from Forsyth Park. House was exactly as pictured. My husband and I traveled with our 4 adult children and there was plenty of room to spread out. Televisions in each bedroom and living room which was a great plus. Dining room to seat 6 which was perfect for playing cards at night. Little extras like picnic blanket and tennis rackets and shampoo and condition in all bathrooms was appreciated. The host was very responsive and even proactive to be sure there wasn't anything missed. River front was about 1.5 mile walk. This was no issue with pleasant weather.

This house was SUPER clean and the location enabled us to forgo a rental car. Evenings were spent on the front porch where we could sit and rock while observing the activities in the park across the street. Extremely comfortable beds with luxurious linens and plush bathroom towels were so appreciated. The kitchen had new appliances. Our hostess was always a text away to answer questions or give recommendations. We plan to return to this amazing rental.

This beautiful home was perfect for our group of five women! It was beautifully decorated, clean, comfortable and had everything we needed for our girls trip to Savannah. Morning coffee on the porch directly across the street from Forsyth Park was a great start to each day. Our host, Stacia was wonderful. We all agreed we would stay here again.

Stacia's place is BEAUTIFUL. Very spacious, clean and comfortable. The location by the park is perfection. Communication is extremely straightforward and Stacia could not have been more helpful. Would 100% recommend and can't wait to visit again one day.

Stacia was a wonderful host - extremely responsive and provided us with great instructions and a lot of local recommendations for our stay. The home is really well kept and clean, with the perfect amount of space for 5 girls. The location right on the park is stunning, and still walking distance to downtown. We absolutely loved our stay there, and I would stay there again in a heartbeat!
