About this property

Savannah Canvas Cottage, Near Forsyth Park

This two-story clapboard house was once a boarding house for railroad workers. It still has the charm of yesteryear with a wooden staircase, grainy wood flooring, and fireplaces. It’s been given a modern touch by its current owner–an artist & graduate of Savannah College of Art & Design.

There are many cool paintings & creative touches (the standout yellow front door among them) that we’ve taken to calling this the “Artist’s House.” You won’t find a more picturesque corner of Savannah to stay.

The home is a top/down duplex, and this listing covers the
rooms in the upper-level apartment. The larger bedroom has a queen-sized bed, while the other bedroom holds 1 double bed.

There is one full bathroom.

The small kitchen has all the appliances you’ll need during your visit.There is a large living room with smart TV and seating for eight. The walls are decorated with the owner’s artworks. Through the windows, you’ll see the streets of Savannah’s historic district beckoning.

The walled-in backyard has a shady patio with a grill and outdoor seating. This area is shared with guests living in the top story.

Forsyth Park, with its fountain and oaks draped with Spanish moss, lies just blocks away, and historic downtown Savannah is fully accessible with the DOT shuttles running every 10 minutes.

Lockbox for self check-in.

The unit were recently painted and decorated.

Close to Forsyth Park

The property was just three short blocks from Forsyth Park, which made exploring historic Savannah very convenient! The apartment was comfortable, spacious, and included basic amenities. The beds were comfortable and we enjoyed the original artwork.

Great location, needs maintenance

The neighborhood and walkable was superb. It was great to have a dedicated parking space and check-in was easy. I expected old and charming, however the property needs maintenance. The couch and chair upholstery were dirty, and a shutter banged all night (we were there on a particularly windy night and property management said that they will look at it). Could be great with better bedding and a deep cleaning.

Savannah

This property is very close to Forsyth Park and definitely walkable to the River Walk (about 1 mile). Most days we walked down to the river and then took an Uber back later at night. We had a rental car, but chose to just leave it parked at the VRBO unless we were doing sight seeing by car. Finding parking downtown Savannah is tough and it is all paid parking. We didn’t see any free parking anywhere. The beds at this property were very comfortable and we had everything we needed for our stay.

Another great stay at the Artist House

My family and I were here a year ago visiting SCAD for my daughter. Everything from our Vrbo to the city of Savannah and the college was amazing. Our return visit was even better. We were able to stay longer and really enjoy ourselves. The Artist house is so convenient to everything. Most of all it is a beautiful and relaxing place to stay with parking (most places charge extra)! I highly recommend the list of restaurants suggestions by the owner, especially Crystal Beer Parlor. It may look like just a bar with food, but it was exceptional. I never would have thought to go there because of all the other more high profile restaurants, but it was one of the highlights. The owner of the Artist House really goes above and beyond to make sure you have a wonderful stay. We hope to stay here again whenever we visit our daughter.

Pretty apartment

I love this property! The apartment is the top level of a duplex home. It's a renovated home so it still has super high ceilings and solid wood floors and stairs that you don't find in homes anymore. The host, Julie, did a really beautiful job decorating. It's charming and comfortable with wifi & flat screens. It's just off of Forsyth Park in the Historic District so its convenient to almost everything.

Great location and wonderful home!

Stayed here for 3 nights with my family. Great location in quiet residential neighborhood only a few blocks from Forsythe Park. You can actually see the fountain on the street corner of the house! We walked to the park every morning. Kroger's is only a half mile from the house and downtown Savannah is about a 10 minute drive. The house was perfect with 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom. Even a pullout couch but we did not use it. Lots of great architectural details with tall ceilings, wood floors, and all the amenities you need even a fully stocked kitchen to cook. Parking is included but you will have no problem parking on the street if you bring additional car. Would definitely stay here again when coming back to Savannah!
