What's nearby

  • Designed by John S. Norris for General Hugh Weedon Mercer, construction of the house began in 1860. Construction was interrupted by the American Civil War, and finally completed around 1868 by the new owner, John Wilder. 

Before Hansford's death, as retold in Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, the house had already been the scene of two deaths. In 1913, a previous owner tripped over the second floor banister, fractured his hip, and suffered a concussion, dying three days later. In 1964, a boy chasing pigeons on the roof fell over the edge and impaled himself on the iron fence below.

Great Savannah Location

The property is in a wonder neighborhood - close to everything. Can walk to all areas of historic Savannah. Bedroom bed very comfortable. Couch and couch pullout adequate. Things were tidy and prepped. Some things a bit old and floor was a bit dirty. Would recommend for a short stay.

Savannah stay

Had plumbing issues almost immediately but the property manager got us in a different location for the second night. Love Savannah and that area near Forsyth Park. Wish we could have stayed to enjoy the courtyard out back but it was a good place for one night.

Comfortable lodging, great location

The lodging is very comfortable and well stocked. Its location in the historical south district was very convenient for both visiting sites and restaurants. The internet was weak at times but not a major issue. Parking is in the alley behind the property. We did not need our car the entire visit. Be careful walking from the alley to the apartment. The walk is unlevel in places. My husband did fall. Lucky Savannah was very helpful. I recommend this property.

Savannah Canterbury Garden

We love Savannah and the location of the apartment was excellent. Yet, we were disappointed in the condition of the property, especially given that we had stayed in this apartment on a previous trip. It was obvious that the property has not been maintained over the years. The courtyard was untidy, the kitchen had bare essentials, and lighting was poor throughout. There was terrible TV reception. The couch felt like it had broken springs on one side. The gas grill is falling apart and had not been cleaned in a long time. The property could be lovely with a little attention.

The location was great and the accommodations were very good. One problem was the WIFI. It was very slow and would not load pages on the phone. This made it difficult to plan our days.

W Gordon stay

Good location to the historic district. Did not use Lyft the whole 4 days. The only draw back a mistake in my part. I assumed having an outdoor garden with a gas barbecue grill I could smoke a cigar, but not the case. Smoking a cigar bad, smoking a brisket ok.

Decent Stay But Could Use Improvements

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our 9 night stay in Savannah was pleasant enough, though I doubt we'll choose this rental again. Focusing on the positive, the location of this property was near-ideal, very close (but not too close) to many restaurants, bars, stores and attractions. Everything seemed just a walk away! An assigned parking spot was essential and the spot was secure enough (gate code to enter the grounds, plus a door code to enter the apartment). We did have issues with the outside light not working, the front door not opening properly, and a light bulb out but Lucky Savannah was very responsive and fixed those things right away. Overall, the interior was clean but not to a professional standard, as we found out over time. Dead bugs, dirty utensils tucked into furniture cushions from previous occupants, stains on the floor, mold in the bathroom, and stained bedding (which we ended up cleaning ourselves). Because there is little to no ventilation (some windows painted shut), it is musty and doesn't smell clean. Appliances are all outdated, but functioned adequately. Kitchen utensils and cookware were old and lacking if you want to cook much. There is some overhead noise from occupants in the floor above. Finally, the wooden gate isn't the best quality (swells up in humidity) and can be difficult to open/close.

Reviewer Comments: Property was in great location, management was very professional but, interior was MUSTY! the odor was bad and we had business to conduct and did not have time to try and get another property. The mustiness smell was significant enough that we rewashed all of our clothing and pillows at home. Nice building, bad smell.
