Excellent location, we were able to walk to everything. The cottage was very clean and the back private patio was perfect for our 2 dogs. It does have steps to the upstairs bedroom that had nice lighting after dark. Very cute place.

Loved our stay here! Perfect walking distance to everything. Quiet neighborhood. Loved the little back patio space. The stairs from the bedroom down to the bathroom although very well lit were a little steep and we as people in our 60s had to be careful! So take note! Highly recommend for almost everyone

When you step inside this beautiful cottage, it is impossible to not LOVE while being transported back in time! The quaint and authentic feel are excellent! It was immaculately cared for, clean, and is walkable in the north historic district to River Street and E Broughton Street shops and restaurants. Next time we are in Savannah, this is at the top of our list!

This cottage was adorable and in a great location downtown. However, it wasn’t as clean as it should’ve been. All flat surfaces were dusty/dirty. AC vents were mildewed. They did send maintenance to clean vents.

Freeman’s Cottage

This was an amazing find! Not only was the cottage adorable and historic, it came with a sweet little enclosed patio that we could enjoy along with our dog. There was a dedicated parking space for us too! It was quiet and less touristy on Warren Square as well.
