The Gordon Cottage was a great place to stay for my friends’ trip. Great location, comfortable accommodations, and cute backyard patio. The only drawback was the house did not have hand soap, hand towels or soap/shampoo/conditioner for the shower, which I trust will be corrected for future stays.

Four adults stayed at Gordon Cottage. The rental was clean and was adequately appointed for us. Location was just under a mile from the riverfront, so very walkable.
The townhouse could use a coat of paint throughout, and as others have mentioned, the stairs are not easy, so anyone with mobility concerns should not stay here.
The attached townhouse was playing music from about 9:30pm-7:30am very loudly. We asked him to turn it down for the third night and he gladly did so.

The property was very nice and in a good location. Easy walk to the grocery store and downtown. It was well maintained except for the tub that didn't drain properly.
As other reviewers have commented, having the only bathroom on the first floor was a little inconvenient but we were able to manage. The bottom of the stairs are a bit awkward and you need to be cautious. We enjoyed the patio in the back.

This home is within walking distance of several places of interest, including Forsyth Park, museums, and some restaurants, as well as Broughton Street, which is filled with shops.

This house if very nice and spotless! A few
areas that you should be aware of...#1 the parking space is in the rear of the house but only the front door can be used to enter. There is an alley but someone put a recycle bin against the gate. #2 the only bathroom is on the first floor. Normally wouldn't be an issue but if you are upstairs you need to come down the very steep steps with the bottom being varied heights and almost spiral. There should be illumination of the bottom stairs. Would not recommend to anyone with children or anyone with balance/mobility issues.
The kitchen is equipped w pots and pans but no oils, spices etc. Most Airbnb and Vrbo properties do have basics. Which brings me to the paper products...Cheap cheap and minimal! Guess this is the difference between a Corporate rental and owners taking care of guests.

Love this little jewel. Cottage looks exactly like photos. Stairs maybe challenging if you're older or have mobility issues. Location perfect for walking or driving to downtown and riverfront. Quiet and I felt safe.

We loved everything about the Gordon Cottage. Comfortable, convenient, clean, had our own parking spot, etc. Super easy check in and check out process. Would stay here again!

The cottage was very clean, comfortable, and convenient. Had a great time and enjoyed hanging out in the garden. Several of the GFCI outlets in the kitchen were not working, but there were other outlets available. Our "4" rating is based on needing maintenance in the garden.

Lucky Savannah was consistently terrific to deal with, always responsive, helpful, reasonable, and pleasant. The cottage overall was very good. Its location was lovely, walkable to all sites in town. The few negatives were: the bedrooms on a different floor from the bathroom and the steps were steep. Fixable negatives: lighting in the bathroom was very dim and there were no overhead lights in the laundry area so you must stand in your own shadow to do a laundry. The kitchen was sparsely supplied especially for long stays. Overall, a good experience.

The apartment was in perfect condition. Very clean and had all the amenities we needed. It was, indeed, in a quiet street, and the private parking in the back is a plus. Centrally located, we were able to walk to restaurants, shops and other attractions. Stairs were steep, but my 76 year old father-in-law had no problem going up and down [recommendation: always hold tight to the handrail]. Backyard needed a little attention and love, but who goes to Savannah to be in a backyard? No one! ;-) Bigger televisions is the only upgrade I would recommend and perhaps lowering the cleaning fee a bit. I do recommend this property and would definitely stay there again.

I love the layout, art work and overall feel of the Gordon Cottage. The only draw back is the staircase. It is super steep! It is also a little nerve racking going up and down in the middle of the night if you have to use the bathroom. The bedrooms are upstairs and the bathroom is downstairs. There were plenty of dishes and utensils to cook with. I liked the walkability of this cottage to the historic downtown (about a mile).

The Gordon Cottage worked out very well for us. It was within walking distance of the downtown area with lots of coffee shops along the way. It was clean and tidy and the directions for getting in and out were very clear. Recommend this spot!

This home was just what we needed for our stay in beautiful Savannah. So clean, and just perfect. The neighborhood itself is serene. I know the stairs are a bit narrow which means to just take your time as you go up and down them. I would highly recommend booking this home as we will for our next stay!

Gordon Cottage was a pleasant stay. Everything was spotless and well taken care of. The bedrooms are on the second floor, but the only bathroom is on the main level. The back courtyard would have been a lovely hangout, but it had not been maintained, and it needed tending. We could hear low music every night through the master bedroom. However, with all that said- the location was good for us, AND there was provided parking.

This house was great. Location was awesome, good value. A couple of furniture items could be better, and the kitchen could be stocked witth more items, but minor details. Overall, a great experience.

It was nice to have room to sit around and visit with my sisters. The kitchen was a plus so we could have snacks and happy hour while visiting and not always be in a public place. The parking situation was good, which is not always the case in Savannah so we were thankful for that. Overall a very pleasant experience.

The Gordon cottage is a perfect location to enjoy the historic district of Savannah. It was clean and charming, and accommodated me, my husband and son comfortably. Two things to know... first, the wood staircase to the bedrooms is steep and slippery, not great for elderly or wearing socks. Second, the front bedroom faces the street and the street light is on all night making it very bright in the room. Bring an eye pillow if you need it to be dark. Other than those two things, it was good.

This was an overall positive experience, but there are some issues that prevent me from giving it a 5 star rating.
The location is perfect; easy enough to walk to the historic district or Forsyth Park. The property is on a quiet side street, which seems to be mostly owner occupied homes.
The room layout works, but I would caution anyone with mobility issues to think twice about this rental, due to the steep stairs up to the second floor.
The overall condition is OK. It could benefit from steam cleaning both carpets and furniture.
Now, some more serious concerns:
The dishwasher was out of order. The property management office expressed surprise at this, but given that there was a printed notice to that effect taped to the appliance, this seemed disingenuous. I placed a maintenance request, was told appliance repair would be on site, but no one arrived to fix it during our stay.
Photos showed a lovely table and four chairs outside, but in reality only two chairs (and no table) are available- this photo needs an update.
Lastly, the front room oddly smelled like a mens' locker room. This is off-putting, to say the least. This needs to be addressed by Lucky Savannah, which I communicated to them in writing.

Overall, we had a good experience at Gordon Cottage. The property was located in a quiet neighborhood out of the way with ample on street parking in addition to private spot behind the property. My truck was too large to fit in the space nicely so I used street parking. Since the property was within walking distance from most attractions, I didn't move my vehicle very often. This lead to me getting a parking ticket for being on the wrong side on street sweeping day. This could have been avoided if I paid more attention to signs. The property managers were helpful and pleasant. I liked that you could communicate via text and the hospitality app. The actual property was clean and sufficiently furnished. I must agree with a previous reviewer that there was a very unpleasant odor in the living room. I was unable to identify a source, but would describe it as almost an old man stale body odor. Also, the king bed could use some attention. A previous reviewer commented that it was on its stage. While it is an economy mattress, I think the real issue is structural. The bed is made of two twin mattresses and box springs. The box spring do not fit properly on the bed frame. Thus, when you lay on the bed one side of the box spring slides off the side rail and creates a very large dip in the mattress causing you to sink/roll to one side. I think a piece of plywood support under the box spring would fix the issue.

Good location, nice cozy cottage. Steep stairs and only bathroom downstairs. Upstairs bedroom TV did not work. Nice having personal parking space in the back

This charming cottage was the perfect place for a girls weekend. Super easy check-in, and the whole place was spotless. Nice updated bath, and I'm picky. And it turned out it was in a perfect location, so easy to walk everywhere we wanted to go!! Great management company - had a stupid question for them and they were super responsive right away. We enjoyed hanging out in the backyard for morning coffee and in the room shown for regrouping before heading out in the evening. Perfect!

The Gordon Cottage was beautiful, well furnished and very clean. It had a nice, private backyard. It was in a good, quiet neighborhood, close to what we needed. I had a few concerns. We arrived on Thursday afternoon. The television in the living room did not work. I sent two emails and called the service. I was on hold for 20 minutes and hung up. I sent text messages the next day and was assured the problem would be fixed. It wasn't. Every day I received promises and excuses. After 5 days, the evening before we left, I was told that they didn't guarantee that the cable would work anyway. Also, the bedrooms are upstairs and the only bathroom is downstairs. To get ready you have to cart everything down very steep, narrow stairs. The stairs are also an adventure when you want to use the bathroom in the middle of the night. You need to have mountain goat DNA. I would not recommend this place for older adults or young children. Finally, the kitchen had pots, pans and dishes, but nothing else. If you want to cook something, you have to supply everything or eat out, which we did. The good news, downtown Savannah is only 5 minutes away.

Overall trip was good. Park for people and dogs at the end of the street -- perfect. Location, within a mile of many sites and interests. Free parking fantastic, off street and unmetered on street. Be aware, single bath on ground floor and beds upstairs. Also, master bed in its last usable period.

Overall the place was clean and had a great kitchen. My only feedback would be the front living room had a terrible smell. We tried Febreeze and it just kept coming back, it was so bad we would not even sit in there which was disappointing as that is the main sitting area in this rental. Next thing, for any future guests the stairs are extremely steep and slippery. DO NOT WEAR SOCKS TO WALK DOWN. Also due to the stairs I would say this unit is not small child friendly. Lastly, the bedrooms are upstairs and the bathroom is downstairs, so this can be aggravating having to go down the steep stairs every time you need to use or get to the bathroom.

We stayed at the Gordon Cottage for three nights. It was clean and has all the comforts of home. The back patio was a great addition. We had coffee every morning and it was a great place to rest after walking all day. It was within walking distance of restaurants and meandering your way down to River Street.

We had been planning a trip to Savannah, Georgia
For several years, finally getting to go this week!
The Gordon Cottage was great for all our needs! It
Was great to see sites only a few minutes walking
Time away. Our 17year old grandson enjoyed River
Street and the paddle boat tour!We are avid walkers
So this property was great for us! It is clean,warm
And neat with a grocery store just down the street.
Old homes preserved instead of tore down with
Lots of history! Planning to visit again and stay
At Gordon Cottage again!

We had a great experience at the Gordon Cottage. The only downside was that there weren't enough mirrors in the home. One tiny mirror in the dark bathroom, and one in the master... which was also small. Add a few mirrors in the home so women can do their makeup with confidence before hitting the strip :)
