We require a 3-night minimum on weekends most months of the year, so please inquire prior to booking for a quote.

Thank you for your respect and understanding. Drunken, loud, or obnoxious behavior simple will not be tolerated.

The home and related communications were great. This is such a large and beautifully decorated house! The king bed was very comfortable with nice linens. There were plenty of extra towels and various other extra supplies as well. And we really appreciated the photos to help us ensure we were at the right place, including the designated parking. All was just as we would wish for it to be and we had a very nice stay. A couple of notes for those not familiar with Savannah: 1) It's Savannah, so there are stairs. Don't be surprised by this. 2) There is often traffic noise at night when staying in this part of the city. The owners helpfully have provided white noise machines in each bedroom. Word to the wise: bring noise blocking earbuds or old-fashioned ear plugs and/or choose the bedroom away from the street. Enjoy your stay!

Girl Scout trip to Savannah

The property was very clean, and beautifully decorated. It had all the amenities that you would expect in a high-end VRBO. The furniture was incredibly comfortable. All nine of us had a great time staying here. The house was very friendly, and kept in great communication with us every step of the way.

Southern Retreat

Beautiful and charming Victorian style four bedrooms upstairs; downstair has a elegant parlor room and dining room which provided perfect meeting spaces. Old fashion tup was an added surprise. The only drawback was early morning traffic noise from the street, but it was expected as we knew the location of the property. We'll take this charming home again for our next visit to Savannah.

Perfect Home and Hosts!!

Wow! What a great stay. My wife and I booked four nights and truly loved the home. Great location - designated parking at the house and was located such that it allowed us to walk all around Historic Savanah. It's about a 5 minute walk to Forsyth park and only 30 minutes all the way to the river. The home is beautiful and well equipped. And........the Hosts were outstanding! Friendly and caring regarding our comfort and needs. Can't say enough good things about them!!! My next trip to Savannah? I'll be right back to this property and these hosts!! What a great experience and it truly made our trip fantastic!

Fabulous House!

Our stay at the Janie was amazing. Carmen and Joe were excellent hosts and gave us advise for things to do around the city and our check in and out process couldn't have been any easier. The location was perfect. Just a few short blocks from Forsythe Park. There were 4 women so having 4 separate bedrooms was great. The Victorian house itself is really beautiful but it is also furnished very beautifully and very comfortably. Everyone in our group thought the mattresses were very comfortable and linens great. Everything you could ask for was provided. The kitchen and baths were well supplied. If I had to give one or two things that weren't the best, one would be the traffic noise coming from loud cars, cars playing music very loudly and motorcycles. It was a little difficult to sleep in, especially in the front bedrooms facing the road but not a deal breaker by any means. Secondly, it rained in the middle of the night and there must be a broken rain gutter on the side of the house because the sound of rain drops hitting hollow metal sounded like someone hitting a cowbell all night. We laughed at this because 2 of us said it was a cowbell but it was loud and affected the 3 sleepers along the side of the house. Savannah is such a beautiful and walkable city. Definitely go to the farmers market Saturday mornings at Forsythe Park. We used Uber or Lyft rides in the evenings. I would stay at the Janie again!

Jon and Carmen were amazing! We had to change our date by one day due to unexpected weather (hurricane) and they worked with us, stayed in close contact, and made communication so easy. Carmen was so understanding and kind through the whole process. The property was beautiful and in an ideal location. I 100% recommend going with one of their properties. You will not regret it!! I can’t wait to have the pleasure of staying in one of their properties again. !

Memorable Savannah Weekend

My sorority sisters and I spent our sorority's 44th anniversary in Savannah for the weekend. 8 of us stayed at The Janie, it was perfect for us and we all loved it! It's a beautiful historic home with lovely period furnishings and decor. There was ample space for us to share with 4 bedrooms and the 2 bathrooms worked out for 8 women as well! It was really nice having a fully-equipped kitchen, so we were able to have some quality time at night catching up in the living room with snacks and beverages. Lastly, I enjoyed dealing with Carmen the property manager. Carmen was quick at responding even before I booked the property and made sure that she gave all the info we needed for our stay. We needed help with the living room light and Carmen was over quickly. Carmen, thanks so much for hosting us at your wonderful property. We were able to make lovely memories during at stay at The Janie. I highly recommend this place for a Savannah holiday.

We enjoyed our stay at The Janie from Friday to Monday. My sorority sisters and I liked the vintage look and feel of the house. They complimented me (2024 Hostess) several times on the choice of the property. The peaceful backyard patio was put to good use for relaxing. The weather was perfect in Savannah the whole time.The owner was nice and accommodating. What a blessed time!
