We concur with the high ratings and comments regarding the charm, cleanliness, and helpfulness of the staff for this property. It is a cozy place to stay with great proximity to sights and interests. We chose this location for the dedicated parking spot. But trying to get into the parking spot when there are vehicles parked directly in front of or close to the space is beyond challenging. Upon entering the cottage, we kept hearing a rustling/fluttering noise and immediately regretted the rental thinking the worst. It turned out to be a live bird trapped between the stove and the wall with one wing partially stuck under the fire extinguisher. With the bird freed, as we settled and throughout the stay, we kept noticing pests (bees, flies, bugs) were getting inside even though we kept the doors and windows closed. The rental agreement acknowledges the possibility of there being pests given the climate and natural habitat of Georgia. With that understanding, simply repairing or replacing the damaged, weathered weather stripping around the main entrance (or both) doors could have reduced the number of pests we encountered and could improve or enhance a stay for others who choose this location for their stay in Savannah. And we do strongly recommend this location and would stay here again, especially if the concerns we and others have expressed were addressed.

We really liked the cottage and would stay here again. Very clean and we really appreciated all the attention to detail. The following is feedback for possible areas of improvement:
* Would be nice to have a small portable fan for both upstairs in the loft area and downstairs. The loft can get hot fairly quickly in the summer.
* While one of the reasons we chose the cottage was that it came with a parking spot, it became obvious that it was more convenient to park on the street given we had a full size SUV and it was really tight when the residents across the ally parked their car in front of their garage doors.
* The AC unit was difficult to utilize as the remote seemed to not work half the time and it was hard adjusting the temp at night and in morning.
* Looks like the toilet tank is smaller than normal and maybe that was needed to properly fit but the toilet does not flush very well.
* Not sure what you can do about it besides change on a regular proactive schedule but both smoke detectors had their batteries expire while we were there. Thank goodness the one above the patio door was the morning we were leaving because that could have been a real discomfort given how load it is and no way to reach it.

I absolutely enjoyed staying at this beautiful little cottage a block away from Forsyth Park. I loved that it was centrally located, and I could walk to just about anywhere within 5-15 minutes- all the amazing coffee shops, restaurants, boutiques, parks, grocery store, farmers market, yoga studios! I was super grateful that this cottage has its own private parking space. I enjoyed sitting out in the little courtyard when the sun was beaming in the morning. The bed downstairs was super comfortable. I loved having a little kitchen and a couch. I love using the extra throw blankets. This place was perfect for me! It had everything I needed. I can’t wait to come back and stay here again.

This was the most lovely, historic carriage house we could have possibly imagined. Our trip was for the purpose of attending and performing at the Jazz Festival, which was steps away at Forsyth Park. Everything from Check-in, the communications, amenities, cleanliness - was perfect.

This place was perfect for a "workcation"! My partner and I (+ 2 small dogs) stayed here for a week. The carriage house is as advertised--convenient, clean, and cozy. What added to these factors was livability: I loved that there was plenty of storage and table surfaces to place down our stuff, and that there was a parking spot. This was especially convenient for a longer visit. The check-in/out process was also very easy. Would definitely stay here again!

We had a wonderful stay with our two small dogs in this cozy little cottage, which was close to Forsyth Park and walking distance to many restaurants, parks and the riverfront. Everything was set up really nicely, and we had everything we needed. The private outside area was great to have. We had a wonderful stay!

The Carriage House was perfect for two people. It was close to everything we needed and the sites we wanted to see. It was nice having a parking spot. The inside was cozy and well maintained. I would stay there again.

We had a very nice stay at Cooper Cottage. We particularly wanted a detached location since we planned to take along our sometimes “barky” dog. The cottage was very clean, updated amenities, and very comfortable. It will be a definite stop for us again in the future.

River Walk is a bit over a very beautiful mile away, Forsyth Park two blocks away, so for me the location is perfect. Parking space is next to the cottage, place was extremely clean and well equipped. Quiet and I felt safe. I plan to return.

This place was a tidy, cute little cottage in the best part of town away from all the tourist traps. Great place to walk to the funnest parts of Savannah through gorgeous old neighborhoods to hip little boutiques, cafes and restaurants.
Check in and out were seamless and the rental folks checked in repeatedly to make sure all was well.
Highly satisfied.

Locals here and wanted a special stay cation downtown and wanted to be able to bring our dog as well. This cottage was perfect. Enough space for the three of us. Comfort was great and maybe a little paranormal experience as well. Will most definitely stay again here or/and with Lucky as well.

Cooper Cottage was the perfect place for my and my wife's Savannah getaway. We were thrilled with the location, just a block away from Forsyth Park. It was perfect for walking everywhere or taking a short uber ride to downtown. We were also super thrilled to be able to bring our 2 small dogs with us to enjoy the trip!
The cottage was clean and well equipped for our short trip. I enjoyed learning the history of the cottage as well, which was posted in the living room. On our last day, we had a particularly strong and long rain storm that exposed a small leak above the door leading to the courtyard, but this did not adversely affect our stay.
Check in/Check out was effortless. Will definitely look up Cooper Cottage again when we want to take another short trip to Savannah!
