Summary:
New to Airbnb! The King's Rest is your perfect home while on holiday. Located within two blocks from famous Forsyth Park. The cozy comfortable unit is within easy strolling distance to River Street, and all of the other bars and attractions of historic downtown Savannah!
The King's Rest is a two bedroom, two bath home on the second floor of the residence. It has been tastefully renovated and artfully designed with all of the Savannah flare and charm that we are so famous for here in Savannah.
The Space:
The historic home was originally completed in 1886 by a wealthy cotton and shipping merchant, who built the home for his two daughters. The two-story historic property was restored and modernized in 2019 during which our company turned this beautiful structure into four separate apartments.
The King's Rest has two bedrooms, each with a queen size bed, two full baths, a fully equipped kitchen, a comfortable living/ dining area, private rear sun porch and front veranda.
Enjoy your morning coffee on the private sun deck to catch some of Savannah’s glorious morning rays, or relax on your private shaded front veranda.
You and your guests will access the King's Rest through the left-side set of green dueling French doors off of the front porch into the shared foyer, from which you will climb the stairs to the front door of your private residence.
This beautiful structure is full of original details combined with modern design features. Throughout the space, the commitment to preserve the past is evident. We are located in the Historic District of Savannah, within walking distance to many shops, restaurants, art galleries, squares and park. The neighborhood has nationally recognized historic houses and Spanish moss filled tree-lined streets, with a coffee shop, restaurants and a small grocery store less than block and half away.
We are located a block and half from Savannah’s famed Forsyth Park (the one with the fountain), perfect for strolls and picnics. You'll be walking distance to local coffee shops, boutiques, a 5 min. drive to downtown eateries, or dine in our fully equipped kitchen (there is a boutique grocery within walking distance as well as a Kroger!
The spacious suite is perfect for families or small groups. King's Rest can accommodate up to six guests. Each of the home's light-filled two bedrooms have a comfortable queen-size bed. If you have extra guests, each unit has a brand-new auto-inflate airbed (bring your own linens) that can accommodate up to two additional guests. The dining table and breakfast bar can sit up to 6 guests.
Each suite has central heating and air, historic non-functioning coal fireplace, SMART TV (bring your own streaming login), towels & linens, and Wi-Fi. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need to cook a gourmet meal: appliances, cookware and dishes. We provide coffee and several kinds of tea, as well as creamer and sugar for your use. We also have a washer and dryer, making the place perfect for long term and short term stays.
The King's Rest is professionally cleaned before every stay and comes with clean linens, plenty of towels, two rolls of tissue and one roll of paper towels in the kitchen.
One tandem (one car parked behind your other, if you came with two) parking spot comes with the unit. The parking is located on the back sand lot behind the inn. There is also a washer and dryer in the unit that you are welcome to use. There is also tons of street parking directly in front of the unit!
We clean using UVC + OZONE which eliminates 99.9% of viruses, bacteria, mites, and parasites!
Great care has been taken to accentuate the original craftsmanship while attending to the needs of modern life. The large windows creates a welcoming allure of light in different combinations throughout the day making The King's Rest ideal for entertaining or just relaxing with a book.
Built in 1868, this historic property was home to the same family over the past century before falling into disrepair around 2002. Restoration began in 2019 and the building was completed in 2020. The exterior sides, covered with heart pine siding (which requires continuous paining due to the humidity, but historical accuracy is important!). The original vintage pine was reclaimed from the roof and sides to be used for the interior construction. The flying buttresses, sun decks and front verandas were reconstructed from historic photographs. About 50% of the hand-blown glass window panes were replaced with restoration glass, the surviving windows were restored where possible. They are not able to be opened due to safety and minimizing wear and tear of the levered window systems.
The interior of the suite was designed to flow upward and outward providing different vantage-points to view the original details. These units have HUGE rooms. The original ceiling and support columns provided the framework for a minimalist design concept - further accentuating the remarkable Victorian-era craftsmanship. The restored heart-pine wood floors combine with amazing results to create a surprising amount of warmth for such a large volume of space. The juxtaposition of the old and new creates a comfortable balance, giving The King's Rest a feeling of a home.
