Shangri-La: Forsyth Park Victorian Mansion

Beautifully preserved Victorian mansion originally built in 1895 right next to Forsyth Park. Marble steps lead to the grand entry with original giant doorway. Heart of pine flooring in perfect condition throughout the home along with soaring ceilings will set the mood for a luxurious historic experience. The main living area has a living room, dining room, bedroom with King size bed, full kitchen and full bathroom with clawfoot tub/shower combination. There is also a full size brand new washer/dryer on this main level, and a spacious back porch and shared patio area to enjoy the coastal weather. On the 2nd floor you will find another King size bed in bedroom 2, and two Queen beds in bedroom 3. We have a bonus room with a twin daybed and a 2nd spacious living room on this second floor along with another full bathroom with clawfoot tub/shower combination.

The 2nd floor has a private back porch overlooking the shared courtyard. The carriage house is a detached separate rental on the other side of the courtyard which shares the patio space with this main house. *The attic of the main house is private and while not locked is roped off as inaccessible for guests and only for the owner.

While the property offers manicured comforts and Southern panache, the surrounding neighborhood, known as the Victorian district, affirms Savannah's status as a premiere vacation destination. The Victorian District was home to famous Revolutionary war heroes and dignitaries, including Eli Whitney and Juliette Gordon Low, founder of The Girl Scouts of America. This quaint, pristine landscape is pedestrian friendly, with quick access to guided bus tours, horse-drawn carriage rides, and The Fragrant Garden for the Blind. The Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) main campus is close by, as are numerous world-class, trending restaurants offering a plethora of dining options an easy walk or bike ride away.

Artsy vacation stay
My friends and I absolutely loved this art filled historic home! It was a stones throw from Forsyth Park and we were able to walk to several restaurants and enjoy the weekend farmers market at the park. Check in was super easy, the house was clean and the beds were comfortable. We would highly recommend!

Amazing location & easy to stay in home
This is a block from the park that has amazing walking paths, a really great restaurant, the iconic fountain, bus stops for the free shuttle that goes around town and community events going on all the time. Beds are comfortable and it's just an easy place to hang out in with family/friends. We will stay here again!

Spacious and near things to do
We had a girl trip of 3 generations in our family from 15 yo to 80. The house was spacious and able to easily accommodate the 8 of us. It was clean and equipped with all you needed for a lovely stay. It’s very near Forsyth park and stop 5 on the Old Trolley Town Tour. All our pre-booking and pre- arrival questions were quickly answered.Would stay again!

Everything we needed/wanted
Gorgeous home. I booked this place for a Girls’/Family weekend. Everyone had their own space and we had plenty of communal space to spend time together. Despite being at the end of Forsyth, we still walked everywhere. Safe, walkable, and beautiful neighborhoods with about a 20 minute walk to shopping and the River district. Would absolutely book again.

Beautiful Victorian in perfect location
Our girls' trip was highlighted by this beautiful home. We ended up spending a lot of time in the kitchen and in the living room, talking, laughing and relaxing. The location is ideal. It's very quiet at night yet an easy 15 minute walk to the riverfront or a 5 minute Uber ride. The trolley shuttle picked us up right out front. Beds were comfortable and we had everything we needed.

Artistic and well situated Victorian …
This is a nicely laid out and artistically decorated 4 bedroom property. Solid Victorian gave our group of 6 acoustical privacy from the raging storm outside while providing a cozy venue during our time indoors. The house and beds were very comfortable. The house is adjacent to Forsyth Park and is brilliantly located for touring historic Savannah. Check in was easy, too.

Great time for my laid back bachelorette party
We had five girls in our 30's stay for a bachelorette weekend. The neighborhood was very quiet and you are just minutes from Forsyth Park. The house was clean and as described. No issues! Definitely consider for your trip to Savannah.

Beautiful Victorian home
We had a Bachelorette trip for a group of 6 girls. The house was just as pictured, but somehow even better in person! The beds were super comfortable, and the house had more than enough room! Its only 1.1 mules from river street, parking was easy on the street and uber was our friend with all the beautiful cobblestone. Would love to return back to the house. Easy check in and check out. Overall, we had a blast and the house was perfect!

Great house, wonderful location
We had a great week staying at Shangri-La. The property is located just steps from Forsyth Park and walkable to numerous restaurants and historical venues. Only word of warning would be for those who have some mobility issues. Many steps and claw foot tubs were not so compatible with the arthritic folks.

Bachelorette July 2023
I hosted a small group of 4 Bachelorette. This property is clean, spacious and well appointed. There are plenty of places to gather. Parking on the street was easy. Everything we did was a short walk or Uber away. My only suggestion would be to update both outdoor spaces with hard surface furniture.

Beautiful Home!
This home is simply gorgeous. The high ceilings and tasteful decor make it feel very luxurious. It's a very old home but it's been made to feel very clean and modern. The location is excellent too. You can easily walk downtown or it's a very short drive or Uber. Being able to walk around Forsyth park and to restaurants and grocery stores is a huge plus! Top notch communication from the host, they were always very responsive and helpful with any questions I had. Would definitely stay again!

Christmas getaway
Took my family to Savannah for Christmas, doing something different. Less gifts and more time spent together making memories. Our stay was wonderful - residence needs a little maintenance - not enough pots and pans to cook meals (residence accommodates 8 people so meals would generally be bigger), stove was gas and only 1 burner lit on its own and the lower oven didn't heat to proper temperature. You rent a house so that you can utilize the kitchen more than you would when staying at a hotel. The toilet upstairs backed up a couple of times and the television upstairs didn't work properly.

Fabulous house at a Great location!
We spent an amazing long weekend in Savannah. The Shangri-La was the perfect house for our group of eight. The location is wonderful. We walked everywhere! Forsyth Park was two minutes away. The house is very roomy and is well appointed for cooking. Little touches like extra blankets for cozy naps on the coach were available. We loved having our coffee on the back porch every morning. The beds were comfortable. It was helpful to have access to a washer and dryer. The hosts left helpful suggestions for restaurant recommendations and sightseeing ideas. We were able to pay a small fee for a late check out on the last day which was a great option for varying flight times. We would highly recommend the house and would love to stay again when visiting beautiful Savannah!

owner needs to stay on property to realize inadequacy
Tried to contact owner/manager to let them know about some issues. Once you pay there is no communication outlet. 1. microwave didn't work 2. shower head stopped up/ no water pressure in bathroom faucet 3. no towel racks/hooks in bathroom to dry towels 4. homeless person sleeping beside house- freaky/gross 5. thermostat didn't stay at temp set/ or I didn't know how to operate it 6. no mirrors in bedroom to do hair & makeup. With two bathrooms and possibility sleeping 12 there is no way 6 people can get dressed by using only 2 lighted bathroom mirrors. and no table to put belongings-- such as dresser top, Suitcase and all personal belongings had to be put on floor. 7. poor lighting- either increase wattage in bulbs or have fixtures that produce more light. 8. inside of property was very clean 9. Outside could have been cleaned to sit on patio and porch We did anyway. 10. Fluffy rugs were a tripping hazard and didn't really serve a purpose. 11. We loved Savannah and enjoyed our stay. We had a great time visiting and appreciated the roomy property. We just frequently questioned some things of the accommodation and what the owner/manager was thinking?????
