Perfect Historic Home for a Family on Vacation with Parking by Lucky Savannah
Built in 1853, Canterbury Main overlooks the Live Oaks of Chatham Square. With three bedrooms and one and a half baths, this home can comfortably accommodate up to six Lucky guests in true Southern fashion.
Soaring 12-foot ceilings, wood beams, exposed brick walls, and original ornamental hearths are just some of the details that give this historic home character, all while providing the modern conveniences that make your stay the epitome of luxury. A fully outfitted kitchen with adjacent dining area has everything you’ll need to enjoy a home cooked meal. Behind original pocket doors you’ll find a tastefully appointed living room with plenty of seating and a flat screen TV.
All three bedrooms are upstairs. There are two queen bedrooms, one with a TV, and a third bedroom with a full-size bed that where you’ll feel as if you’re sleeping in the majestic oak tree right outside your windows.
The sprawling courtyard has plush landscaping, plenty of seating, and even a grill for some outdoor cooking. When you’re ready to venture out, you’ll be within walking distance to the best shopping, dining and nightlife Savannah has to offer. Beautiful Forsyth Park, the city’s largest green space and a popular location for weddings and events, is just two minutes away. Grab a burger at the nearby Crystal Beer Parlor, or taste some real Southern cooking at Mrs. Wilkes Boarding House. Wherever you may roam, you’ll have the perfect home-away-from-home to return to at the end of the day.
Why Lucky Savannah Loves this Property: - This home can be combined with the Canterbury Garden apartment to accommodate an additional four guests. - One private off-street parking spot, and the convenient location, mean you can come and go as often as you like. - A full size washer and dryer is conveniently located in the upstairs full bath.

Nice to have two parking places. Home has many interesting decorated rooms. Kitchen is small, but usable. Large dining table and seating for up to eight people. Home is clean. Thanks for a pleasant stay in Savannah.
Great location. Walked to everything. Forsyth park was easy and riverfront not much harder. Off street parking great.
cons: single bathroom with shower, musty smell initially and windows don't open.
A beautiful, historic home so close to Forsyth park! It was nice having a dedicated parking spot as well. It had plenty of cookware but you need to bring all of your own food items to cook with. Lucky Savannah was very accommodating with any issues or questions we had. We were a little rationed in terms of things like paper towels, Toilet paper, dishwasher pods, dish soap but we made do. The stairs are high and steep with a little bit of a loose railing so just be aware if traveling with small children. Overall we enjoyed staying here with the highest postings being location and the character of the home.
Elegant traditionally decorated townhouse with a lot of beautiful artifacts that I would imagine with toddlers or little kids could be worrisome for parents in regards to possible accidents. Very clean comfy bedrooms and perfectly located in a quiet square but walking access to restaurants etc I would recommend for older teens and adults and infants but not elderly or toddlers as the wooden stairs for access to the bedrooms or even to the front door are quite steep. The back courtyard is rustic and charming and parking very convenient.
Wow! What a perfect location for a Girls Getaway! We absolutely loved the location of the home in the historic district. It was only a short walk to some great neighborhood coffee shops and maybe 20 minutes to the city market and river area. We thoroughly enjoyed the walk through the historic squares and went to the Farmer's Market at Forsyth Park. The three bedrooms are all upstairs and we were glad we only had one small suitcase each. Since there were three of us, we had a bedroom each and sharing the single upstairs bathroom worked fine. The master is very large, the middle bedroom is fine, but the third bedroom is small. I wouldn't let any of this stop you from renting. We also enjoyed the nice back courtyard and the downstairs living and kitchen areas. If we ever return to Savannah, we will stay here again!

Reviewer Comments:
Our stay at Canterbury Main House was fine overall. The location is great, right on Chatham Square. The fact that there are 2 off-street parking spaces dedicated to this rental is also a plus. Reps from property management company are very responsive to emails. However, I kept getting emails leading up to our trip telling me to get the Lucky Savannah app to help with our stay and each link provided did not work. One rep said there is no app for Android phones, only Apple phones, even though their emails say that it exists for Android. I was able to obtain all needed info through email. Home is quaint and overall nice, but there were several housekeeping items (basic things like shower cleanliness, floor cleanliness, dusting) that need to be addressed as well as TV (streaming only on 1 TV, other TV would not connect to anything), and bed pillows being too hard. I informed property management of these things and supplied pictures and they apologized but that is all. For the price, I expect a little better. Furniture in living area is fine but not comfy. I would say it's definitely not the worst place that you could stay, but it is decent.

When my Wife and I decided to visit Savannah we knew we wanted to stay in a historic house in the heart of the action. We hit the jackpot on the Lucky Savannah! This is a great vintage house that’s in great condition and very close to all the historic district action. We would definitely recommend this house.

This was our first time in Savannah and I'm so glad we stayed here. The location was quiet and walkable to everything. The beds were comfortable and there was plenty of seating for our party of 5. The charm and decor creates a relaxing welcoming atmosphere.
Great place to stay for a visit to Savannah’s historic district
Great location for walking to see the sights, eat at great restaurants, shop. Charming and comfy place. Responsive, helpful property manager agents. Off street parking a big plus. Lovely homes and gardens in the neighborhood.
Very pleasant to sip morning coffee in the back garden.

Three of us attended a creatives retreat and stayed at Canterbury Main House which is on Chatham Square. It's a great location, close to the historic district and other sites. The house was very comfortable and also has a very nice patio in the back.
We loved this 3 bedroom home in the heart of historic Savannah!
It’s beautifully decorated with old hardwood floors and a character-filled (slightly slanted) wood staircase.
We had a bit of a challenge having the wrong front door code in the instructions (& after we called too) & the wrong parking sign info, but the back door code worked great.
I highly recommend this place.

My wife and I really enjoyed our stay at Canterbury Main House. It was nestled on Chatham Square and was the perfect location for strolling to neighborhood restaurants, taking in all the local antebellum and Georgian architecture, and having a relaxing stay. Without question we will be visiting Savannah again soon and we will be staying at this property.
