Rum Runner's Cabin w/ docks, pool, & private firepit on Emma's Driftwood Farm

Our family thoroughly enjoyed the Rum Runner cabin and the beautiful grounds around Emma’s Driftwood Farms!

We had the entire 81-acre property to ourselves (we didn't realize it was deer fly season LOL) and enjoyed ourselves. We stayed in the Rum Runner's Cabin which was immaculately clean throughout, had nice towels and linens, it was a few steps from the boardwalk to Knox Creek Dock and has an interesting history. We were charmed by the antique rum bottles on the shelves and a Wanted poster of a bootlegger. Worth noting in case it's a challenge: the bathtub is a clawfoot tub. John made both our arrival and stay welcoming and comfortable with all the niceties you could wish for: wine, charcuterie, coffee, tea, a dog biscuit for our fur baby and more. The peaceful setting was a welcome respite from street noise and light pollution in our area.

Impeccable cabin, grounds, pool, and amenities. Wonderful hospitality. 10 out of 10 on everything. Loved walking down the pier for sunset. John was a gracious host and welcomed us as if we were at a five star resort. I couldn’t have asked for a better birthday!

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.

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!

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.

Run Runnner’s was just as we left it a year ago. Perfect. Except that they added a fabulous pool and pool house. So it was even better.

Very nicely outfitted cabin on Knox Creek. Lots of attention to detail and a cozy feel.

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.

The most relaxing, comfortable, amazing scenery that a couple could experience! Highly recommend Emma’s Driftwood Farm, will definitely be back!
