Peaceful, beautiful, well-managed
I'm home now in New England, & woke up this morning still expecting to open my front door to see the sun rise over the marsh, & to walk out onto the boardwalk over it. The sun was shining, the birds were calling, & I was filled with peace & the expectation of another relaxing day. Relaxation is the key word here! I went on a few excellent walks & runs, read, watched a movie, cooked...just what I was looking for. Bonuses were the fire pit & the supplies to make s'mores, stars, the treats that greeted us upon arrival, & the helpfulness of the staff. Visit the Fort King George! Close by, and interesting. My 14 year old also managed to enjoy himself, but he wished the forest were more vast for long stretches of exploration; the "nature trails" are quite short. The marsh was so beautiful, we all wished that we could have taken a little boat out, but there didn't seem to be a way to do that. The pool was not warm enough for swimming in December, & we longed for a hot tub. The tub in the cabin is a claw one & not the ideal shower experience. I just learned that my husband took the bags of coffee home—he missed the little card indicating that we'll be charged for them! Also--if you like organic food, don't wait until you get to Darien to stock up. If you like fried food, you'll have plenty of options for dining out! These are not complaints, just little things to be aware of. Overall we loved our stay and would return.

Incredible Property
My husband and I had an incredible weekend at Emma’s Driftwood Farm! The property was immaculate. We stayed in the Rum Runner cabin and it was the perfect space for us. We took full advantage of all the property had to offer and utilized the bikes, fishing gear, pool, seafood boil pot, crab pots and grill- this property has it all! We did a fishing charter with Mad Shark and highly recommend, they will pick you up from the dock! We will absolutely be back for another weekend away at Emma’s!

Georgia Marsh Paradise
Our stay at Emma’s Driftwood Farm was one of the most peaceful we’ve had. We were the only ones on the property and spent the days fishing, swimming, and enjoying the wild diversity the marsh has to offer. Our little cabin was pristine and perfect. Thank you to the entire staff who make their guests feel so welcome and cared for. There is healing happening in this former plantation.

Perfect remote cabin
We really enjoyed the cabin for our long weekend. The size was perfect for our family of four. The master bed was actually very comfortable for a rental. The owners left perfect little extras for us that made our stay a little bit "sweeter". The amenities include were prefect for a southern weekend. It was like living in a Nicholas Sparks book for the weekend.

Serenity and nature at its finest
Absolutely stunning location and the cabin was more lovely than we even expected. The grounds are kept impeccably, kudos to the groundskeepers! This trip was exactly what we wanted it to be for relaxation and escape and as nature lovers, it hit the nail on the head! The only issue we have is that we couldn’t stay longer. I don’t even have enough time Or space to go into the attention to detail! Just wow! We will definitely be back for another visit…with a longer stay!
