A cabin in the middle of the city
We really enjoyed our stay. The decor was very fun and the “cabin vibe” was really nice but it still had all the amenities as an apartment would so it didn’t feel like we were “roughing it” too much.Do keep in mind there’s only a bath tub (with a hand held shower nozzle) so that wasn’t quite what I’m use to but it’s easy enough. :)Would stay again!

Cute, modern, comfortable carriage house
We rented for St Patrick’s day weekend in Savannah and this was a perfect location for walking to the parade and Forsyth Park. Also, walking distance to mid town restaurants and bars in the starland district. It was very clean and nicely decorated/furnished. The owner was very responsive and helpful.

Nicely appointed and funky place
Richard takes the time to stock the cabin with nice to have food staples (e.g. Coffee and french press) as well as all the tourist information needed to make your stay in Savannah more enjoyable. We appreciated the bikes that were made available. Great recommendations to local places. We really enjoyed our getaway. Thanks!

Definitely an Urban Cabin
We love the city of Savannah and glad we stayed here and explored more closely the Victorian district. Tip to the owner….check that the freezer is defrosted before guests arrive and advertise more as good for short weekend stays due to the bathing accommodations. Would be better to design a bathroom similar to the unit upstairs and have a more fully handicap accessible apartment to offer..

Great location, cutest little quirky apartment
My boyfriend and I stayed at this property to celebrate an anniversary and we were not disappointed. Overall, the property was just as advertised and a very unique place to stay. We enjoyed the restaurants within walking distance of the property and the close proximity to downtown. The place was very artsy and unique, giving a special feel that made the stay feel unique. The only downside to this property is the additional rental property above it, as there are other tenants staying above you in which you can hear their footsteps relatively easily. While we heard the footsteps above us, it didn’t really bother us. Overall, we thought you couldn’t beat this property for the price!

Charming, in a great neighborhood
The cabin apartment is very bright and cheerful. The yard is lovely, with trees and bushes full of birds. We really loved the neighborhood, outside the main bustle of the Historic District but centrally located so you can get anywhere. Besides, the Thomas Square/Forsyth Park area has attractions enough of its own. You'll enjoy using the nice bikes Richard has available: a great way to experience the city!

Great little efficiency in a perfect location
This was exactly what I expected based on the property description and reviews. Richard, the owner and host, went above and beyond to make our short stay in Savannah a memorable experience! Inside, we found light snacks and beverages, and he had notebooks and magazines on the table with helpful information about restaurants and activities in Savannah. The courtyard area was an ideal area for our pups to be off leash and play under supervision. The bed was very comfortable, and a nice soak in the clawfoot bathtub felt great after exploring the city.

Didn’t want to leave!
Loved our time here so much! Richard was wonderful to work with and thought of every little detail to make you feel right at home. The location was perfect and an easy 10 minute bike ride to downtown. The carriage house was the coolest little place. Loved the big open windows overlooking the beautiful courtyard. It was so great having our dogs with us, as they too enjoyed the big windows and courtyard. We will definitely be back! One of our favorite stays for sure!

Literally the single best Verbo/airbnb I've ever rented
This was, without a doubt, the single most pleasant vacation experience I've booked. Honestly, it's been better than most hotels I've stayed at. Richard played both host and concierge, greeting us and giving us booklets with info, maps around the neighborhood, and tons of recommendations of where to eat. Then there were the treats! Four fresh yogurts in the fridge, along with almond milk and a small half and half. Sodas, tea, coffee, granola, a very fancy chocolate bar. There was a little bath bomb on the bathtub, tons of whole foods fancy soaps and shampoos. Forgot your razor? There's a basket full under the sink. Makeup remover? Richard's got you there too. A book to read? You want Tolkien? O'Conner? In stock. Netflix? Already loaded up. Fresh ranunculus flowers floating elegantly in water? On the goddamn table. The whole place was stunning. Not to mention the wall of windows that looks out into such an idyllic garden. It's a prime location, right in the heart of the Victorian district, and such a great deal. My boyfriend and I will absolutely be back!

Absolutely LOVED our stay! The place is absolutely perfect and the owner is so accommodating!
Absolutely loved it! The place is so nicely decorated with an Urban flare and very very clean! The courtyard is adorable and perfect if you bring your fur babies as well as a perfect spot for your morning coffee or evening wine. The owner made sure we knew were all the places to eat and see, he also checked in with us to see if we needed anything which was SUPER nice! He made sure we even had candles and bath salts and believe me I sat in that big clawfoot tub and listened to music with a nice glass of wine. There are also some really nice bikes available for a stroll to all the nearby parks and restaurants. It’s so close to everything and our XL large SUV fit in a private parking spot. Great location and exactly what we wanted for the perfect getaway for two! We will definitely be back!!!

Amazing Experience!
My husband and I had an amazing experience staying in the “Urban Cabin”. Everything was just perfect from the antique bed, with incredibly soft bedding to the old fashioned tub. Extra touches included epsom bath soak, coffee, juice, and yogurt with with an organic flax mix. We especially enjoyed riding the bikes to Forsyth Park and throughout Savannah. I highly recommend staying here if you are a couple looking for an”experience” while you visit Savannah.

Wonderful stay in Savannah!!
This studio is absolute perfection. Close to everything but serene and relaxing. It is is decorated wonderfully with fabulous finishes. The bed has the best linens and it's so comfortable! I didn't want to get out of bed! Richard is a fantastic host! He has a few things for you in the fridge and there was some delicious blueberry granola to snack on. Richard was very communicative and he gives you lots of info about restaurants and things to do. If you're staying in Savannah you should definitely book this gem! I'll be visiting again and I plan on staying here.

Cute, comfortable and convenient
My husband and I spent 2 nights here when traveling through Savannah with our dog. While we have visited Savannah many times and it is one of our favorite places, we had not stayed in the Victorian/Starland district. We were able to walk to see different sites and try new restaurants. The apartment was stocked with everything we needed (including breakfast and coffee needs) and our dog had a fenced in yard to explore. Great trip!

A fun place we will return to.
This place is a wonderful funky urban cabin. It is a one-room efficiency that sports a grand old LONG claw foot tub. The bed is very comfortable. Best of all are the huge front windows. Richard, the proprietor, is very pleasant and makes sure the stay is all it could be. We like to walk and were able to hike to the historic district and also to the hip neighborhood to the south. At night the string of outdoor lights and those in the fireplace are quite romantic. We would gladly return in the future.

The charm and sweetness of this place just goes on and on. From the smell of the jazmine the minute you open the gate, to the way your head sinks softly into the down pillows. Its well equipped with all of the essentials. I could stay here forever, honestly. Great experience overall.

The Urban Cabin Experience
My husband and I, and two small dogs, stayed in Richard's Urban Cabin for the month of January. It had everything we needed, a comfortable bed, kitchen supplies, privacy, off-street parking, and Richard even supplied us with starter supplies of granola, yogurt and orange juice. The little apartment is close to everything - well Savannah is small enough, everything is close to everything. We enjoyed walking our dogs in the neighborhood and Forsythe Park, and they enjoyed having a yard to run around in. In summary, we loved the apartment, Savannah and Richard.

Great studio
My husband and I visited Savannah to celebrate our 1 year wedding anniversary. This property was so homey and hospitable. We even brought our two dogs; they loved being able to run around in the back yard. The house is short walk to Forsyth Park and the historic district, or a quick Uber to downtown and the River Walk. We highly recommend!

This adorable carriage house is tucked behind a stunning old southern home. Richard was beyond accommodating, with pages of recommendations and every little detail you can think of in the apartment. Normally my husband and I struggle to sleep when we are out of town- but this bed was SO comfortable. Thank you for the hospitality, Richard!

Wonderful space, terrific location, perfect host
Our stay at Richard's was perfect. The space had everything we needed and we were perfectly situated in a beautiful residential part of Savannah. With the bikes provided, you don't need a car to take advantage of the city. And the comfortable bed, pillows, and sheets make sleeping in a breeze. Definitely recommend!!!

Beautiful & Efficient Stay
I can't speak highly enough of Richard or the Urban Cabin Apartment. My wife and I stayed at the unit for 5 days, and loved every minute. The apartment is conveniently located. Though it is not in the center of Savannah, it is a walkable distance, and there are also a handful of excellent restaurants just around the corner (both formal and informal). Bikes are also provide -- which was wonderful. We enjoyed biking into town (under 10 minutes), and would then lock them up, and spend the day walking around the squares of Savannah. Richard was great and provided many helpful suggestions for restaurants and activities. I would highly recommend this romantic and charming apartment.
