About this property
Step Back in time to 1860s Savannah!
Welcome to Haint Blue Haven, the east-side townhouse of Savannah's historic Silas Fulton House — and a true love letter to Lowcountry tradition. Built in 1860 for Silas Fulton, one of Savannah's early freedmen and entrepreneurs, this beautifully preserved post-and-beam home pairs original architectural character with refined modern luxury, all wrapped up in one of the most iconic design traditions in the South: the haint blue ceiling.
Haint blue — that soft, sky-washed blue you see on porch ceilings, doorways, and shutters all across the Lowcountry — is more than just a beautiful color. Rooted in Gullah Geechee heritage, the tradition holds that haint blue tricks restless spirits ("haints") into thinking the ceiling is water, keeping them from entering the home. At Haint Blue Haven, this storied tradition isn't just a nod — it's a centerpiece of the home's character, woven into ceilings, accents, and design details that make this stay unmistakably Savannah.
With 3 bedrooms, 1.5 baths, and room for up to 6 guests, Haint Blue Haven is perfectly sized for couples traveling together, small families, girls' getaways, anniversaries, and romantic Southern escapes. Each elegantly appointed bedroom features luxury mattresses (frequently called out by guests as some of the most comfortable they've ever slept in), high-end linens, and thoughtfully curated decor. The fully equipped chef's kitchen is ready for a home-cooked Lowcountry meal, while the inviting living spaces — complete with smart TV and high-speed Wi-Fi — are perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring.
Step outside to the shared courtyard, where a gas fire pit sets the scene for slow Savannah evenings under the stars. Travelers will also love the rare and welcome perk of a reserved off-street parking spot — a true luxury in a city famous for tight parking. And because we know your dog is family too, Haint Blue Haven is dog-friendly (with a small fee), making it an ideal pick for travelers who want to bring their four-legged companions along for the trip.
Outside the front door, you're immediately immersed in the magic of Savannah's Historic District. Stroll the cobblestones of Jones Street — often called one of the most beautiful streets in America — wander the moss-draped squares, browse boutique shops, and dine at award-winning restaurants like The Grey, The Olde Pink House, and Mrs. Wilkes' Dining Room. Forsyth Park is just a short walk away, with its iconic fountain, picnic-perfect lawns, and weekend farmers' market. River Street's waterfront, with its shops, breweries, and live music, is an easy stroll north.
Planning a larger gathering? Haint Blue Haven shares a building with our Luxe Retreat townhouse, and the two can be booked together to create a 6-bedroom, 3.5-bath estate that sleeps 12 — perfect for family reunions, bachelorette weekends, weddings, and milestone celebrations.
Whether you're here for the history, the food, the romance, or the chance to slow down and experience Savannah at her most magical, Haint Blue Haven offers a stay as soulful and storied as the city itself.

Enjoyed our stay at historic Silas Fulton house. Full of old Savannah charm and modern amenities. Beds were so comfy after some long hot days exploring the streets of Savannah. Great comms with host and easy check in.
We had a great time. The location was great, the house was clean and modern, appreciated the fact that our two dogs were welcome as well. Area is walkable. Would definitely recommend. Parking spot is a little tight if you have a bigger car though. I also would have appreciated a heads up about certain things prior to booking - like the 500 security deposit and the check out time of 10AM. However, nonetheless I would recommend this house to stay in.
