Living Room



Here is the living room. We've actually replaced this couch with a brand new one that has a Queen sleeper in it.

So comfy.

TV and VCR in this room. And yes, we do have cable. DSL for your computer is in the front bedroom. Local telephone service is also included.

You're never going to want to leave. It just feels so warm and inviting here. This cottage is full of happiness and love.

Come on in!


You know you can't wait to come and explore all that Savannah has to offer.

Welcome.

Gate to the porch.

OK, so I thought this looked like a cool picture.

It's supposed to be you, looking through the gate, so that you can imagine yourself sitting on the back porch. Did it work?

Magnolias and Teapot


Lillian was the decorating queen, and you'll see her touch everywhere in the cottage. She loved all thing southern, and she was a true "Steel Magnolia".

Front Bedroom


The front bedroom has a Queen sized bed, DSL hookup, TV, DVD and VCR.

More of the back bedroom.

Here is a photo of the beautiful headboard and stained glass in the back bedroom.

This is the back bedroom.


This is the back bedroom; it has a queen sized bed, a dresser, a desk, a closet, and a stained glass window!

The TUB..........'Nuff said.


Yes. It's an authentic claw foot tub. The real thing. And it is great. Pack your favorite bubble bath and prepare to SOAK.

Notice the stained glass window above the tub. There are several of these throughout the cottage. Lillian loved to decorate, and this was done during her stained glass phase. Her work is really beautiful. She was happy working on these pieces for hours at a time.

Essentials


Just wanted you to see we have a washer and a dryer, an iron and ironing board, a hair dryer, and....

An old fashioned claw foot tub. Did someone say bubble bath?

Breakfast Nook

The breakfast nook adjoins the kitchen and the door opens out onto the back porch. Leave the door open while you drink your coffee so you can hear the birds chirping.

Peek out the door, look down East Broad to the left, and you can see the gigantic ships going by on the river. They are taller than the buildings!

We have a full sized kitchen and fridge.


I really like the fact that we have a full sized kitchen and fridge. We've even got new nonstick pans, a blender, toaster, microwave, dishwasher, and coffeemaker.

The cabinets and drawers are filled with dishes, glassware, utensils, spatulas and serving items, pitchers, mixing bowls, CRAB CRACKERS! and OYSTER knives.

We've even supplied a corkscrew and a bottle opener.

We stay here ourselves quite often, so we've figured out what supplies are absolutely essential. Let us know if we've missed something.

Coffee.........yum.


Aaaaah. Yes. Coffee. Real coffee.

The dining room even has an old-fashioned side board.


The kitchen is close by, in case you need to carry the loads of food you've cooked to the dining room table.

Be sure to buy one of Paula Deen's cookbooks, or Mrs. Wilkes' Boarding House cookbook, or even the nearby Pirate's House cookbook!

Ain't nothing like good old Southern Cooking y'all!

The Pirate's House pecan chicken, Paula Deen's Hoecakes, Mrs. Wilkes' mac and cheese and collard greens.... My stomach is growling again.

We'll make some more food recommendations a little later. Tim LOVES to eat, so we've sampled quite a bit in this area of Savannah. Stay tuned.

Oh yeah, lots of places have takeout or even delivery services.

Our dining room is grand and comfortable.


This dining room table is just waiting for some good food and happy people!

(It's also a very romantic setting for those so inclined....)

Back porch sitting.


There are flowers here even in the Fall. Lillian loved that story about "When I am old I shall wear Purple"; so we try to have some purple flowers out every so often.
