Thomas Weihs Haus

We wanted something more intimate than a hotel for our recent stay in Savannah and we got it at the Thomas Weihs Haus, 222 E. Gwinnett. It is a delightful inn with wonderfully appointed rooms in a quiet neighborhood not far from all the historic area sites. A highlight is the great two-course breakfast you are served each morning. You sit at a large dining table and immediately begin talking with the other guests. When you leave, you feel as if you've made a bunch of new friends.

We stayed in the carriage house and it had shoddy and sloppy renovations including extensive paint spilled on the tile floor. There was a bizarre amount of signage telling us what not to do or we would be fined. We counted 10 in our room. One of the employees/owner? who did the gardening was the rudest person we have ever encountered in our many travels in the USA and numerous countries. The first day my husband stepped on some grass in the back yard and was told "the grass won't grow if you keep stepping on it." The next day that "grass" was actually replaced in its entirety by sod. There was no reason to criticize my husband. The following day, my husband was bringing in two rental bikes to lock them behind the fence in the very back with all their tools and refuse containers. He left the gate open while he was going in and out and was rudely scolded for it by the same man who is apparently a co-owner. I imagine it's not unusual to rent bikes to see beautiful Savannah and we were trying to keep the bikes safe. We were not made to feel comfortable in this establishment. We felt unwelcome. I'm not surprised to see other reviews from people who have had the same treatment.

I spent a lot of time researching our Savannah vacation and where to stay. At first I considered staying on River Street but realized I wanted to be near Forsyth Park for a more relaxing stay. Then I began to research Bed & Breakfast places and came across the Thomas Weihs Haus. I am so happy I chose this elegant and historic B&B for so many reasons. First, Location. I loved the ability to be close to the park, local grocery store, and walkability to the best restaurants. We were also steps away from the free purple DOT bus as well as the Old Town Trolley stop which we used to tour the city on our second day. Plus River Street and Jones Street (very pretty street) was easy to access too. Second, Amenities. Our room, the Virginia Lloyd Suite, was incredibly beautiful and spacious. The decor was lovely, linens and towels were so nice, the entire B&B was sparkling clean, and all breakfasts were incredible! Michael and Gerald were great hosts and very hard working. Gerald kept the garden looking lovely and Michael was a wealth of knowledge besides cooking and serving all of the delicious breakfasts. I enjoyed the efficiency of receiving the two course menu the day before and texting our selection back to our host. Each morning my husband and I sat on the porch for breakfast because we love eating outside but a formal dining room was also an option. I loved the color choices in the B&B especially our purple bathroom, the magenta paint surrounding the fireplace in the sitting room, and the chandeliers were all gorgeous too. The restaurants that Michael recommended were spot on...our favorite was Veratina, a nearby Italian restaurant. I made all reservations well in advance and I was glad I did. I also loved the restaurant in Forsyth Park. We had lunch there twice and it was wonderful. If you are reading this review, and love B & Bs, just book it! Do remember that it is a historic home with lovely antiques so do take the time to be respectful and enjoy the elegance. We stayed three nights and I would go back in a heartbeat for those great breakfasts (get the specials) and the rain showerhead in our suite. Great water pressure and plenty of hot water....and did I mention the king size bed was like sleeping on a cloud?!!!

The staff was phenomenal from the moment we arrived. They spared no expense. The furnishings and decor were a fantastic mix of old and new with that classic Victorian vibe that charms so timelessly. The breakfasts were cooked to perfection and served in such a way to make anyone feel like they have truly stepped into high society. We truly felt like we were home away from home. The towels were over sized and Egyptian cotton. Having such large towels was a treat for me as I'm 5ft and round. Most towels dont wrap all the way around me but their towels made me feel really taken care of and taken into consideration. We'll definitely be back. We've found our place in Savannah. Thank you so much for such a hospitable and memorable stay.

An absolutely gorgeous home with lovely gardens, and most warm reception from owners Michael and Gerald. Our visit to Savannah last week was the best ever for both of us because of your hospitality, attention to detail, and fabulous breakfasts. We give the Thomas Weihs Haus 10 stars. We will be back!

My husband and I spent a long weekend in Savannah and had the good fortune to stay at Thomas Weihs Haus. The property is immaculately clean and impeccably decorated and maintained. Michael could not have been a better host, warmly welcoming us, and responding immediately with excellent recommendations for restaurants and local activities - not to mention his breakfast. They were delicious and beautifully prepared and presented, It is obvious that he and Gerald care deeply about providing their guests an exceptional experience, and they really deliver. The location is near Forsyth Park in a nice, quiet neighborhood, but within easy walking distance of everything you would want to see and do. The carriage house was very comfortable. We felt like pampered and valued guests. I could not recommend TWH more highly. Savannah is a great city to visit, and TWH made it even better.

We stayed in the John Schley Suite the 1st weekend in March. The room was spacious for 2 people and very clean. The bed was comfortable, there was an eating area for 2, a mini fridge, and coffee maker in the room. 1 block over from Forsyth Park. It’s about 20-25 min walk to the River front. Lots of places to see and eat nearby. Would recommend.

Wonderful stay on this historical bed and breakfast. Michael and a Gerald did a great job at maintaining the historic feel and authenticity of the place. We felt like we were staying in a very special place. Michael is friendly and gives fun and helpful tips. He also makes an unbelievable breakfast that we were looking forward to every morning. We had a great time in Savannah and we couldn’t not recommend this place more. Location is great, outside the touristy area but still very centered located. Everything is walking distance. We will be back!

Fabulous place to spend a romantic holiday
