The last time we stayed in the area was during the pandemic in 2020. This time was much more pleasurable. The little cottage is spiffy and the beds slept well. On a quiet tree lined street the comfortable screened porch looks out on the creeks of the altamaha river. The cottage was a great refuge from our days filled with tourism including a day trip to St. Augustine Fl and a meal at the historic Columbia Restaurant. The cottage;s layout and appointments more than met our needs. The only criticism is that we are used to and contract bound to subscriber cable and satellite tv and are not adept at streaming services. The Cottage's host Christine was available when we needed her! She gave us a timely back-up solution for our little problem. The photos in the brochure live up to the experience. The place is very clean and attractive!

Spent long weekend at this lovely little cottage on the river. My two teenage boys loved fishing off the dock, and our dogs were very happy lounging on the screened porch. Darien restaurants are a short walk - looks like more things are developing, but all the places we ate were nice, nothing fancy, but good fresh seafood options everywhere. Hosts were very responsive and helpful!

Beautiful cottage in a peaceful neighborhood. It was clean and stocked with everything you could need. The screened in porch was the spot we enjoyed most but watching sunset from the boat dock is a close second. It was great to be able to have our dog along for the stay. Great location to check out Jekyll & St Simon islands from.
