About this property

Traveler's Retreat: Your Refuge In the Old Town

Traveler's Retreat is a quiet cottage on a beautiful neighborhood street in Historic Savannah. Just a few minutes walk from Forsyth Park, this Beach Institute gem is a refuge from the rush and the throngs of the downtown. Set back amongst the squares and side streets of Old Savannah, with its lush, private courtyard and cool, diffused light, our hope is that you will find that the Retreat is the perfect place to recharge after a long day of salt and sun on Tybee, or seeing the sights in downtown.

The master bedroom has a custom made king bed, and en suite bathroom. The second bedroom has a queen bed, and the main bathroom has a clawfoot tub and shower. The kitchen is newly updated, with an electric range, oven, and microwave, and all the amenities you will need to make yourself at home. The couch in the living room folds out to comfortably sleep two more, and there is a dining room off of the kitchen that seats six.

Washer/dryer, television, linens, towels, shampoo, body wash, and conditioner are provided. And if you are bringing equipment like kayaks, bikes, or items for the beach, we have a separate storage building on the property to keep your belonging secure without bringing the great outdoors inside with you.

Traveler's Retreat is your private residence in Savannah, and it's good for couples, families with kids, and groups of friends.

Great Location!

We originally booked the house for us and another couple. Our friends had to cancel, so it was just my husband and myself. The location was excellent to explore Savannah. We walked everywhere. It was really close to Forsyth Park, Mrs. Wilkes, Mercer House, and Kroger. It was a hike to downtown, but not an issue. The beds were extremely comfortable. The dining table would have been great for games. There could be more seating in the living room. I liked sitting on the front porch, but it could use some sprucing up. We really enjoyed our stay!

Highly recommend this place. It was clean, spacious, and worth the price. It was a little far to walk to some stuff but Ubers were cheap. Great place and I would stay here again.

Christmas in Savannah

Property was very cozy and clean, great location as advertised. Great central base for all of our Christmas activities with family in the Historic District. Bungalow has everything a traveler needs to be comfortable away from home. Host was great!

Excellent stay!

Loved this adorable property! Our family had a fantastic trip! The location was fabulous and close to everything. The home was super cute with historic character while still having excellent lighting, great working AC, SUPER comfortable beds, and a nice smell (no "old house smell") here. We fit our family of 6 comfortably (we brought a blow up air mattress for our youngest and it fit great on the bedroom floor). The kids all enjoyed the backyard space as well! Neighbors were friendly (and quiet!) as were the neighborhood roaming cats. Would highly recommend!

Storybook Weekend

From start to finish this town, property and agenda was everything I hoped it would be. This property had it all…charm, beauty, convince, details and a great location. Perfect landing spot for my queen to say “YES” to forever. Savannah, we will be back soon.

Girls trip

We loved our stay! The house was exactly as described. Communication with the host was thorough. We loved the convenient location. It was about a 20 minute walk to all of our destinations. Quiet neighborhood. We loved the journal to share our experiences with the next guest and even took dinner suggestions from previous renters. The house does require the use of steps which may not be conducive for all travelers. If we ever return to the Savannah, we will definitely look into this rental again!

Great stay!

I stayed at the house for a weekend with girlfriends for a weekend away. It was perfect. The house is so cute and comfortable. There were plenty of towels and paper products, and the beds were both very comfortable. It was clean and cozy. It’s a bit of a walk to get closer to the river, but easily doable. Quiet area and lots of places to eat close by. Would recommend and would stay again. Communication was great as well.

Charming cottage in Savannah

Our family of three really enjoyed our stay here- the house was extremely clean and had everything we needed. Although it’s a little bit away from downtown and River street, it’s quite central to many of Savannah’s sites and you can walk to most places in about 20-30 minutes. The owner, Jack, was responsive to questions and went out of his way to provide lots of local recommendations for restaurants and activities.

Sweet Savannah cottage

This was a fantastic spot for a Savannah getaway at Christmas time. The house is well-located, well-equipped and even had a tremendous backyard patio. Spending the end of a sightseeing day under the palm trees is my idea of relaxing!

About the host

Hosted by Jack Dillon

Host profile image
My wife and I met while traveling, and have continued to try to see as much of the world as we can together. We make our home here in Savannah, Georgia, now, and have just had our first child. So now the world has to come to us, for a little while. We hope that you enjoy Savannah, as we do, and that this property provides you with a jumping off point to a new adventure.

Why they chose this property

Stay here, in a little part of Savannah that feels like Savannah. This is an old home on an old street, with plenty of space to stretch out, and everything you need to be comfortable. You could choose to "see" the Historic District, or you could choose to be "in" the Historic District. We hope you choose to stay at our place.
