We enjoyed our stay at Tracey's cottage and found that it had everything we needed. It is a straightforward 15-minute drive to the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge, which made it perfect for our trip. The cottage is also walkable to restaurants in the center of Folkston. Tracey communicated check in and check out procedures clearly. We found this to be a good base from which to explore the swamp.

Tracey is a great host! This is the 3rd year we stayed at one of her homes in Folkston and the 2nd time at this location. She is super accommodating and a pleasure to work with. Location is perfect for train enthusiasts. One block from the viewing platform. Thank you for a great stay! Will be back!

great house
6 / 10Average·Apr 2023
Overall our stay was nice. The host is totally upfront about all the train watching opportunities/closeness to the tracks ect... I guess we were naive about the level of noise that happens at all hours. On some multi engine long trains....the house will vibrate and windows rattle. You will hear long air horn blasts from trains. 2 to three go by from 10pm-5am. There are also lots of sirens for a small town and you are on a main road in town with semi trucks. It was not easy sitting/talking outside during weekdays. Again....the host was fine, but this was not the best stay for us but I can see where train lovers would be thrilled here.
