The short version
Travis is a Savannah native and an Airbnb Superhost — ★ 4.97 across 238 guest reviews between the two suites of The Wilder House, the 1898 home his family has looked after since 1998.
He's also a web designer by trade, which is why everything on this site — the pages, the live tools, the maps — is built by the person who will also answer your check-in text.
The house was built in 1898 by John Hinson Wilder, a Savannah grocer, as a duplex for his family. It's a four-unit building today; guests stay in the two ground-floor suites.
Why the tools on this site are free
Six years of guest questions taught Travis that the hardest part of Savannah isn't finding things to do — it's knowing what's best right now. So he started building the answers:
- Forsyth Park Concierge — a live planner that reads the weather, the tide and the clock every hour, then names the single best thing to do in Savannah at this moment. Free, for guests and strangers alike.
- Forsyth Park Tours — the touring arm of the house. A self-guided, GPS-triggered audio ghost tour from the park to the river is in its final polish now, with more walks to follow. Launching soon.
- A free-transit trip planner — Savannah runs a free shuttle and a free river ferry most visitors never figure out; a tool that walks you to the right stop is on the way. In testing.
The house rules for what gets written here
Every fact checks against the record. Dates come from wills, court dockets and the Georgia Historical Society — not from other tour websites. When a story is legend, this site says so out loud.
No overpromising. You won't read "the best," "flawless," or promises about street noise on these pages. Savannah doesn't need embellishment, and neither do two well-kept suites three blocks from Forsyth Park.
That's the whole philosophy: be the neighbor who tells you the truth about the neighborhood — because he's from it.
