Historic Character. Private Parking. Four Minutes from Forsyth Park.
Parking in Savannah is one of the most-searched and least-solved problems in the city. Street parking in the Victorian District and throughout the historic core is metered, competitive, and limited — and during events like St. Patrick’s Day or the Savannah Music Festival, it is effectively nonexistent near the park. Most vacation rentals in this part of Savannah do not include private parking. The Wilder House does.
Each suite at The Wilder House includes a dedicated off-street parking spot at no additional charge. Park when you arrive and leave the car for the duration of your stay. Walk four minutes to Forsyth Park. Walk five minutes to Bull Street’s restaurants and bars. The DOT purple shuttle to River Street stops nearby. You will not need the car again until checkout.
The building itself dates to 1898 — one of the most architecturally intact Victorian-era structures in Savannah’s Victorian District. Original heart-pine floors that have been walked on for over 125 years. Eleven-foot ceilings. Ornate Victorian millwork. A genuine historic Savannah vacation rental that has been carefully preserved, not reproduced.
Private Parking — Included. No Fees. No Garages.
One dedicated off-street parking spot per suite, included in your reservation price. Two spots when you book both suites. In the Victorian District, where metered street parking runs $1.50–$2.00/hour and spaces disappear by noon on weekends, having a guaranteed private spot is a genuine advantage most Savannah rentals cannot offer.
Six Reasons This Is Savannah’s Best Historic Rental
Private Parking — Included
One dedicated off-street spot per suite. No daily fee, no garage, no meters. Park when you arrive and forget about the car. In Savannah’s Victorian District, where street parking is limited and competitive, this is rare — and genuinely valuable.
Genuine 1898 Historic Building
Not a renovation designed to look historic — an actual 1898 Victorian-era building with original heart-pine floors, 11-foot ceilings, original millwork, and in Suite 316A, an original decorative fireplace. This is authentic Savannah history, not a replica.
Four Minutes to Forsyth Park
314 East Park Avenue is three blocks from the park’s east side. The 1858 cast-iron fountain, the live oak canopy, the tennis courts, and the Saturday farmers market are a 4-minute walk out the front door. One of the closest vacation rentals to Forsyth Park in Savannah.
Fully Stocked Kitchen
Every suite has a fully stocked kitchen — stainless steel appliances, butcher block counters, ice maker, dishwasher, full cookware, and a coffee maker. Breakfast at the kitchen before walking to the park. Cocktails before dinner on Bull Street. You’re never paying bar prices for things you can make here.
4.97 Stars • 209 Reviews
Guest Favorite status and Airbnb Superhost recognition across 209 reviews and 4.97 average stars. Six years of consistent five-star hosting. The rating reflects the space, the location, the parking, and the responsiveness — all of it.
Self Check-In — No Coordination
Smart lock on both suites. Your access code arrives before you do. Check in at 4:00 PM, check out at 11:00 AM. Come back from dinner or an evening walk through the squares at any hour without waiting for anyone. Both front and rear entrances accessible.
One Suite or Both — Private Parking Either Way
Both suites include a dedicated off-street parking spot. Book one for a group of up to 4, or book both for a group of up to 8 — with two parking spots, two full kitchens, and four bedrooms.
Suite 314A
From $195 / night • Private Parking Included
The signature maroon kitchen island, original heart-pine floors, 11-foot ceilings, and 279 Mbps fiber WiFi. King bedroom and queen bedroom. Fully stocked kitchen, private deck, and one dedicated off-street parking spot included. Three blocks from Forsyth Park.
Suite 316A
From $195 / night • Private Parking Included
The haint blue kitchen island and original 1898 decorative fireplace make 316A the most architectural suite in the building. Victorian millwork throughout, 302 Mbps WiFi, king and queen bedrooms, fully stocked kitchen, and one private off-street parking spot. Three blocks from Forsyth Park.
Over 125 Years of Savannah History. Still Standing on East Park Avenue.
The Wilder House was built in 1898 as part of Savannah’s Victorian District expansion — when the neighborhood was being developed as a residential extension of the historic downtown. The building is an original Victorian quadplex, unchanged in its essential structure for over 125 years. What you see from East Park Avenue is what Savannah looked like at the turn of the 20th century.
Both suites have been fully modernized for contemporary comfort while preserving every original feature worth keeping. That tension — between what was built in 1898 and what a guest needs in 2026 — is what makes The Wilder House different from any hotel or modern rental in Savannah.
- Original heart-pine floors throughout both suites — 125+ years of patina
- 11-foot ceilings characteristic of Victorian-era Savannah construction
- Original decorative fireplace in Suite 316A — authentic Victorian millwork surround
