    We were in the area for a fishing tournament and ran across the Swamp Gravy listing. The location is perfect, it's a short drive to Bainbridge. It's very peaceful and you won't have to worry about nosey neighbors. If you're interested in fishing, Big Jim's is 1 mile down the road with access to Lake Seminole. Swamp Gravy was very clean and was furnished with everything that you will need. Gayle was probably the most helpful owner that I've delt with, she'll help you with any issues that you might have. We'll definitely be back.

    We stayed here because he had a funeral to attend. This place is not for children. While getting ready for the funeral my autistic 10 year old pushed the ring camera 2x and my 7 year old come and got me saying a speaker wanted to talk to his parents. I came out to speak to Julie. She had me stand in the rain explaining to me that kids are not to be left alone in the yard and they are not to push the button. That I needed to explain to my son that ( what he thought was a door bell) wasn’t a toy. I said I understood and it wouldn’t happen again. But she continued repeating herself about 4x about my son’s behavior, while I got wet and my hair was just a mess. She then called my husband. He explained how we have one at home. She said that she had kids and she totally understood. That was very hypocritical. The beds are too small for a couple and the showers are slippery. We will not be coming back. THIS PLACE IS NIT FOR A FAMILY WITH KIDS.

    The Swamp Gravy house was my introduction to this part of the country. I had a wonderful stay. Julie is the single best Host I have ever met. Thank you, Julie. The house had everything I needed, including birdseed for the feeder. Every house in this part of the country has a pack of hunting dogs that sound like hyenas, but you get that anywhere down here. The quiet is profound. It is rare if a car goes by. The Porch is large and inviting and an important living area. I spent all my time here. I highly recommend the Swamp Gravy House and you will enjoy the lovely Miss Julie, an unusually sweet Host who sincerely wants you to be happy. This house is highly rated for Hunters and Fishermen. I do neither and loved it!
