The house and property were absolutely amazing. The house was extremely clean decorated like a magazine. Upon arrival, we were welcomed with wine and cheese and fruit trey.

We were evacuating from Hurricane Milton and needed a place to stay. What a happy accident that we found Emma's Driftwood Farm. A stressful situation turned into a much needed respite. Our daughter loved fishing, crabbing, and walking the property. We all loved the peaceful view and quiet nights. The property manager, John, bent over backwards to make sure we had everything we needed. Thank you all. We will definitely come back! ##### Margaret J.

The property description and photos couldn't have prepared us for the 'awesomeness' that is Emma's Driftwood. The accommodations (Ranch House), the amenities, the service, and the setting... oh, the majesty of the setting, all combined for a new level of... WOW! While our intention was to explore more of the surrounding area, there was little to entice us back through the gates once the cupboards were stocked. We found ourselves completely decompressed with books, binoculars and birding apps in hand. Anyone seeking serenity with modern amenities, should absolutely have Emma's on a (very) short list! Our return isn't a question of if, but when... ##### Chris K.

The Ranch House was secluded and faced directly onto breathtaking swaths of marsh. We couldn’t resist getting outside before dawn because the sunrises were so gorgeous. I read other reviews stating this is even more beautiful in person and couldn’t agree more. The Spanish moss, huge trees, misty islands on the horizon, and farm environment created a tranquil retreat for us. Both kids even slept through each night, which is unheard of in this family! We enjoyed walking on to the docks and tried our hands at crabbing (though we only caught one). The crabbing and fishing equipment is functional and ready to use but keep in mind you’ll have to share with other farm guests- due to this we weren’t able to use it for half the time we were there. The pool is beautiful but heater was not on for part of our stay so our swimming excursions were very brief and chilly. The event barn was also fun with football, ping pong, and soccer balls/frisbees available to use. The location of the farm is ideal. We were able to spend a day in Savannah as well as visit several beautiful barrier island beaches that had beachfront parking and no crowds. I would love to return here and next time will even consider bringing extended family and renting the whole farm. I continue to daydream and reminisce about what an idyllic vacation this was- thank you! ##### Brianna M.

This was a delightful winter retreat. The grounds of this estate rival and epitomize southern plantation living. We were pleasantly surprised with all of the personal touches afforded by the team. The perks were classy and to abundant to list in this review. All of the accommodations on this property were beautiful and unique. However, the most memorable impression came from the random acts of kindness demonstrated by the entire team. Kudos to John, Mayor Bubba and Hunter for going the extra mile and giving us an excuse to come back next year. They were even thoughtful enough to mail my leather jacket I left behind. Rest assured, you will not be disappointed! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Raul P. 2 Nov 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fantastic place My family and I loved this house.

It was the perfect getaway and we spent long hours enjoying the marsh views and lolling in the fantastic swimming pool. The house was comfortable, clean and well-stocked. Nearby restaurants were tasty and dog-friendly. As an aside, my husband and our dog, Eddie, spotted a creature with a ringed tail and mask in one of the palmetto trees lining the marsh. It looked like a lemur (it was not a raccoon). There’s a lemur colony on a nearby island, so it may have been a wanderer. In any case, the great lemur watch was entertaining! ##### Ronda T.

From the comfort of the accommodations at The Ranch House and the thoughtful personal touches (charcuterie board and wine upon arrival, honey made on the Farm, local chocolates, etc. etc.) to the grounds, it's like stepping back in time and far from the hustle and bustle of daily life. We couldn't have picked a better place to bid 2021 farewell and ring in a New Year. The docks also are great for crabbing and fishing (they also supply everything you need to enjoy those activities, too!) and taking in the fresh air and incredible unobstructed views. We also brought our boat and kept it docked; it was the perfect jumping off point for exploring the area by water, including a New Year's Day hike on Sapelo Island. The property manager, John, and groundskeeper, Hunter, also are simply lovely humans. They were incredibly friendly and hospitable, and very easy to reach whenever we had a question. We cannot recommend Emma's Driftwood Farm enough and we look forward to our next visit when even more amenities will be available to guests. Thank you for sharing such a breathtaking place with the rest of the world! ##### Jen M.

So peaceful, spacious and relaxing — the marsh and Spanish moss-covered trees provide fantastic views. We stayed with our kids (22, 18, and 3) and my in-laws. Our 3 year-old daughter loved running around the spacious yard and making S’mores (the property provides the kits). My husband and sons couldn’t get enough of fishing and crabbing. The fresh honey they gave us — which they make on property — was perfect with the bottle of wine and charcuterie board they had waiting for us when we arrived. There’s also a grocery store, liquor store, and nice seafood restaurant only about a 10 minute drive from the farm. We’ll be back! ##### Melody B.

This is the second time we have stayed in the ranch house. It is very nice. The overall property is amazing. It is a hidden treasure. ##### Brian Y.

The place was very clean, everything was very well thought out, small details taken care of and a well stocked kitchen. John and Hunter were very helpful. It is very peaceful and a great place to enjoy and relax. ##### Mehul P.

The house is great and the setting is amazing with beautiful sunrises and sunsets on the expansive and pristine marsh. Loved sitting in the rocking chair on the dock. The grounds of the property are also beautiful with huge live oaks draped in Spanish moss, palmettos, and a big yard. Very relaxing. ##### John W.

Everything we needed was already there. The only thing I would recommend bring is pool floats for swimming in the river. The Property Manager, John, was a pleasure to deal with. If we needed anything, he was there. We rented the Ranch House and the Hatcher House and they were both perfect. I will definitely recommend to others and I will definitely go back. ##### Connor B.

Loved the marsh views best of all. The house is comfortable and well-equipped with everything you need, plus some wonderfully thoughtful touches. Communication with the property manager was amazing - Hunter was very responsive and attentive. We’ll be booking again next time we’re down South! ##### Amanda W. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Shawn H. 7 Aug 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Family Getaway… Beautiful property, inside and out. Quiet, peaceful and beautiful landscape with a home away from home feel. As pretty as the pictures are, they don’t do it justice. Highly recommended…we hope to return soon. ##### Shawn H.

It is amazing. Quiet and secluded, yet only a short drive to nearby St. Simons and Jekyll islands. Our host, John, and his staff were readily available. All the conveniences and extras of an exclusive resort and more (wine, cheese and fruit tray, s’mores kit, etc.). I cannot thank them enough for our perfectly wonderful family getaway. ##### Virginia D.

Several small touches made it extra special. ##### Brian Y. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Carlos I. 1 Jun 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful stay This place is a real gem. Quiet and peaceful. All the conveniences of a high end hotel and more (S'mores kit, suntan lotion, insect repellent, etc included). Plenty to do for all: fire pit, BBQ, horseshoes, fishing gear, etc. Looks directly over the marsh. Star gazing at night with no light pollution is spectacular. John, the host, is readily available and very welcoming and friendly. Lots of attractions also nearby so can use the house as a base for daytime trips. House itself very comfortable, recently remodeled. We had a wonderful time. ##### Carlos I.

The property is gorgeous and John is very available and helpful. Everything is top shelf. We had an amazing breeze off the marsh our entire stay. We brought our small dog and they even had a bone for her. We will return soon. ##### Robin A.
