About this cottage rental
Relax on front porch swing and catch a glimpse of the many trains that pass through Folkston each day. Visit the Train Museum in the old restored depot in downtown Folkston. Walk around town for an ice cream cone or soup and a sandwich at Whistlin' Dixie's and join the ever present group of rail fans at the Funnel. Take a short ride to the Okefenokee Wildlife Refuge for a guided tour of the pristine wilderness or rent a boat for a closer look at the alligators in the cypress swamp. Take a day trip to historic St. Marys where ferries daily cruise the open waters of the St. Marys River forty-five minutes to Cumberland Island where you will see wild horses, deer and turkeys on your walk across the island to the Atlantic Ocean beach. Take other day trips to St. Simons, Jekyll, or Amelia Island.
At the end of the day enjoy dinner at the Okefenokee Restaurant in Folkston or Lang's seafood in St. Marys.

This house was a good spot for 2 graduations we attended. I was taken aback though by the cleaning fee, when I saw the state of the kitchen upon our arrival. It was in need of a deep cleaning which I was not going to provide. Fortunately, we only used the fridge to house our drinks & snacks and ate the rest of our meals out, which did not necessitate use of any of the appliances or utensils.The decorations are charming & the wall a/c in the living room kept the main area quite comfortable, however we had to find a fan (which was in one of the bedroom closets thank goodness) to stay cool at night. The bathroom and bedrooms were reasonably clean upon arrival but this rental could definitely do with mattress/pillow upgrades. There were only 4 pillows overall & I ended up using 3 of them since they were so thin. The outside is very well maintained & the front porch swing & fire pit areas are lovely & inviting. I was worried that the trains would keep us awake at night but this didn't happen. If this rental had new pillows/mattresses & the owners hired someone to deep clean, I would definitely give them 5 stars. I don't fault the owners for this since, according to a letter in the dining area, they live out of town.It's walking distance to a fantastic coffee trailer (Quench), as well as the local downtown with restaurants & shops. The neighborhood is quiet & safe and was very relaxing when we were there. I would stay here again but would bring my own pillows next time.

The location was ideal for us. The cottage is old, but charming.
