This home was beautifully appointed. The decor and furnishings were beautiful. We absolutely loved it. The location was as good as it gets- close to Forsyth Park and in the historical center on a beautiful square. I couldn’t more highly recommend a place.

Our weekend stay at the Bordley Estate was absolutely delightful. The residence was impeccably clean and matched the images perfectly. The beds were exceptionally comfortable, and the entire home exuded coziness. The property managers provided outstanding service, promptly attending to our request for a new iron when we needed one for our wedding outfits for the weekend.

The estate's location made exploring Savannah effortless; we strolled to Forsyth Park, Broughton Street, and River Street with great ease. Every moment of our stay was thoroughly enjoyable, leaving us eager for our next visit.

Fantastic stay in Savannah- right on a square

The house is a great options for groups, with a modern southern twist on a savannah historic home. We especially appreciated the layout of the kitchen with large island, dining and butlers pantry. The house is large enough everyone has their own personal space, added features like a garage, laundry room, full garden really add to the stay. Above all the central location and being right on square are you feel like you are living like a local.

Great place and location!

This was hands down the most impressive property I have ever stayed at and I travel often. The photos are gorgeous and they still don’t do this property justice. I woke up every morning in awe of the attention to detail that was put into decorating this already breathtaking historic home. The beds were clean and comfortable, the showers had the best water pressure I’ve ever experienced, the kitchen was gorgeous and perfect for a group of 7. We ended up ordering dinner in because we just didn’t want to leave the house. I could not reccomend this home, or Lucky Savannah more.

Our family of seven rented this home for 5 days and could not have been happier with the property, location and quick prompt responses by the property managers. We were actually more impressed with the property than the pictures could even express. The home was comfortable, clean and well furnished. We literally walked to almost everything we did, and with the one parking space and having rented one car, it was the perfect property for us. Although we think that the beds, advertised as king sized, seemed more like a queen sized beds (for three of the rooms) but we were very comfortable. We felt like we were home at all times. Highly recommend!!!

This home is decorated to true perfection. It is located right in front of a beautiful square that thankfully is not a busy square. The bathtub, fixtures, drapes, furniture are all quality. The house is a dream. The beds are also very comfortable.
