    This was our second time staying here. The hosts communicate everything very well and are accommodating. The cottage was very clean, and is so cute and quaint with very nice modern touches and all the things you need for a comfortable stay. We loved the backyard and being able to walk to the water and we really enjoyed the fire pit as well. We will definitely stay again and can't recommend it enough to anyone looking for a nice place to get away!

    This was such a treat staying in this cute river cottage. Fred and Jane were amazing hosts and very responsive and helpful when we had questions. The beds and couches are comfy. The shower and bathroom are large and clean. It was too hot to use the outdoor shower, but it’s an awesome touch. We utilized the grill and kitchen to save money on meals. The kitchen is well stocked and the pans were some of the nicest we’ve had in a VRBO, which made it easier to clean up after meals. The coffee was delicious! The washing machine and dryer worked well, and it was nice having the barn doors to close and keep noise to a minimum when doing laundry. The screened in porch and yard were incredible. It was too hot (over 100 degrees) for us to use much, but early mornings and breakfast on the porch were great. Crabbing was super fun! The kids loved trying this and we caught 3 crabs as part of our vacation. I would highly recommend this river cottage if you’re looking for a cozy, quiet place to relax during your vacation. We were in the Savannah area for the national track meet, and we are so glad we chose this cottage even being 45-75 min from everything we wanted to do. It was an easy drive to Savannah and Tybee Island. We enjoyed our stay and would absolutely stay here again.

    We wanted to see Savannah but needed a peaceful vacation too. This was perfect for both. The beds were super comfy and the dock, with the wildlife and the breeze, was a great place to relax in the morning and the evening even in the heat of June. Older home but completely updated. A place you can enjoy just hanging around even without the tourist attractions but Savannah and Tybee Beach were only about a 40 minute drive- all interstate. The owners were very nice and easy to communicate with. Definitely recommend. I would happily stay here again.

    My husband and I had a lovely stay at Fred and Jane’s rental property. Their cottage was cozy, comfortable and very relaxing after a day of exploring in Savannah and surrounding areas. We appreciated the nice bottle of wine that was placed in the refrigerator and tasty coffee that was given to us along with a handwritten note from Fred and Jane. A nice personal touch.?We really enjoyed spending time on the screened-in porch sipping our coffee in the morning and wine in the evenings while admiring the beautiful sunset views from the porch as well as the dock. The outdoor shower was a nice amenity and we appreciated the quality of the towels and linens. Thank you for sharing your slice of paradise with us.

    We stayed here while in town for a few days to visit family. The location, home, and amenities were very nice. The home had everything that we needed and the hosts were very communicative to make sure we were comfortable. We would definitely stay again!

    Great place and very quiet out in country. Place was clean and very cozy. Not to far from Savannah and just a little drive to Publix, Kroger or Food Lion. Definitely a great place to get away from city life to country life.

    Our stay at The River Cottage was purely magical ✨️ It was the perfect getaway for our honeymoon. The Cottage was wrapped in cozy southern charm. It was pristine and supplied with everything we needed to make it our lil home away from home. The sunsets were awe inspiring with the majestic oaks and their dripping Spanish moss. It was located close enough to visit Everything on our itinerary but yet off the beaten path to get away from it all. Fred and Jane were so very helpful with any questions or concerns and gave us insight on local eateries, etc. They were amazing hosts. We made memories in a short few days to last a lifetime at The River Cottage.

    Fred and Jane were wonderful hosts! So communicative and kind. The property was clean and inviting. My husband and I felt right at home and felt comfortable relaxing and just hanging out at the property. We also discovered the Nespresso machine, which we must be living under a rock because we have never heard of it before. Needless to say, we bought one when we got back. Overall, we had a great experience!
