Reviews From Our Happy Guests

Diane ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

An incredibly cozy, romantic setting that is extremely well stocked with everything you need to hunker in for a warm getaway. Host is ON it and really, the house has everything you could think of to make your stay special however you prefer. (Not to mention, a 5-minute walk down to a private/empty beach that offers some incredible sunsets.) Once the sun sets, amenities for days to get warm and cozy to settle in. HIGHLY recommend 😁🙏 Thank you so much Karen!

Karen and team were incredibly communicative, proactive, and informative.

The cabin was a dream and the location was an absolutely getaway without the hassle of being far from civilization. The private beach access and breathtaking scenery were the highlights!

Wish we could have stayed longer! Will stay again

Great stay for a family wedding. We had a baby with us and the office worked great as a room for the baby with a pack n play. Walkability is great- strolled over to Zingerman’s and the Kerrytown Market. And Karen was a wonderful host- super responsive and accommodating! And she has thought of everything in the way of making her guests stay not just easeful and enjoyable, but extra touches of luxury and cleanliness

Tiana ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Absolutely loved our stay. Karen’s place was extremely clean, cozy and well stocked. She added nice little extra touches for us as it was our honeymoon getaway and we really appreciated it. The house has everything you could possibly need for a quiet, peaceful weekend. The hot tub and sauna are fantastic and made it feel like our own private resort. We would absolutely stay again and recommend it to anyone. Karen herself was very responsive and proactive in helping provide house instructions and local recommendations. The location is beautiful and a delightful retreat from city life

From beginning to end, this was a 5 star stay. The hosts were extremely easy to work with and quick to respond from beginning to end. The house was clean and comfortable and decorated with charm .We were in walking distance to both Forsyth Park, the River and most of the places we wanted to visit. I would absolutely consider staying here again during our next trip to Savannah.

I would absolutely stay here again. The hosts were very responsive, kind and genuinely caring. We had every amenity you could imagine and a fully stocked home to enjoy. They truly thought of everything and I’m very thankful. We had a perfect stay and couldn’t ask for more.
