Dog Friendly Historic Home by Forsyth w/ Private Courtyard by Lucky Savannah

Why Lucky Savannah Loves this Property:
- The beautiful private courtyard is the perfect spot to enjoy breakfast.
- This pet friendly home is just two blocks from Forsyth Park, Savannah’s largest green space.

Tucked away on Tattnall Street, Whippet house is a two-bedroom Savannah gem. Guests will enjoy the short walk to downtown's center, while having a private retreat in one of the city's oldest residential neighborhoods.

You’ll find the living room appointed with an eclectic yet warm collection of furnishings and decor from the owners' international travels. A formal dining room connects the front of house with the cheery kitchen, equipped with modern appliances and cookware for all your dine-in needs. Off the back of the home, you’ll find a private courtyard that comfortably seats four.

Both bedrooms are upstairs, each with their own full baths. The first bedroom has a Queen size bed and antique writing desk, while the second bedroom mirrors the first but with a King size bed and excellent views of historic Tattnall Street. With windows on either side of the home, Whippet House receives ample natural light during the day. Shutters and window treatments ensure privacy when wanted.

One block north lands you in Chatham Square, one of Savannah's gorgeous green spaces. Head east two blocks to historic Forsyth Park, known for its famous fountain and a popular location for weddings. Enjoy a liege waffle and latte at Mirabelle Cafe, before touring the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist, located right across the street. Broughton Street, a hub of Savannah’s shopping, and River Street are only 10-15 minutes north from there, respectively.

Sleeping Configuration:
Bedroom One: Queen
Bedroom Two: King
Living Room: Sleeper Sofa

The house was clean and well stocked with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We enjoyed having morning coffee in the cozy courtyard. From the house we walked to dinner, shops, and some of Savannah's most well known historical sites. Parking in the historic district is a challenge; the dedicated parking space in the back of the property was a plus. I highly recommend this property.

Great location, very comfortable. We found it to be walkable to most of the things you'd want to see and do. We have kids so factor that in to these times... Roughly 10 minutes to Forsyth, 15-20 minute walk to a ton of restaurants (Oglethorpe or Broughton), too far to walk to Plant District.

We picked The Whippet House due to its close proximity to family in the area and allowed our dog to come with us. It was everything we wanted. We appreciated all the pots and pans etc in the kitchen. The house was clean and no dog smells. Easy to walk to Forsyth Park.
