About this property

This newer constructed 3-bedroom cottage is styled in the classic, coastal low-country design that was popular throughout the South in the 1800s. Before air conditioning and electricity, the dogtrot design was created with large, open breezeways and several windows on all sides (don't worry, the A/C and heat work great!). This allowed homeowners to take advantage of the cross breezes which optimized airflow throughout the home. The breezeway was often the coolest spot in the house and where their canine companion was likely most often found and the inspiration for the name.
Enjoy this historically-styled accommodation with modern amenities and appliances! Each bedroom has an en-suite bathroom, with 2 bedrooms on one side and another bedroom/bathroom and kitchen + living room on the opposite. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need to enjoy your time on the marsh.
POOL & POOL HOUSE! Your reservations include the use of the Emma's Driftwood Farm communal pool & screened-in pool house. Relax under dangling moss and take in the views of the marsh, or take a dip in the pool, heated for year-round enjoyment.

Hurricane getaway we left our home to escape the hurricane and went here
Clean Cottage had everything you could need or that I needed anyway able to cook had some salt and pepper coffee even a little s'mores box!
Beautiful property able to go crabbing hosts were kind and generous and the area is beautiful
The property was so beautiful and peaceful! We had everything we needed and the accommodations were wonderful! The hosts thought of everything and made us feel so welcomed- they even had a stocked kit for s’mores time by the fire. We had a really lovely stay!
We had a weekend party that used Emma's Hatcher House -- maybe 50 yards from Dogtrot -- as the main venue but had 3 couples sleep in Dogtrot Cottage. Very comfortable, clean and well-appointed accommodations with a layout that allowed for any desired combination of mingling or privacy. A bit further from the marsh than Hatcher so the views aren't as immediate but still very close to all the amenities (marsh, docks, pool, game pavilion) available at Emma's.
My husband and I spent five nights in the Dogtrot Cottage on Emma’s Driftwood Farm.
The property is absolutely gorgeous, like something out of a movie with the towering oak trees covered in sweeping moss all around. The grounds were very well taken care of, the pool and spring house were beautiful. The two of us and our two pups enjoyed walking on the property and out on the docks, and it felt as though we had the entire place to ourselves. The cottage was impeccably maintained, beautifully decorated, and had everything we could have asked for and more. The charcuterie board in the fridge was a lovely surprise, as was the bottle of wine, the stoneground grits and cornbread and the honey, which was harvested there on the property, and the delicious coffee.
It was the most peaceful and relaxing vacation ever, and we will definitely will be back. Thank you so much for sharing your breathtaking estate with us.
Comfy beds, too! 😉
Words can't describe the natural beauty of this place. The cottage was equally great: very new, clean, and well-appointed. Very generous welcome gifts. What a relaxing place to spend time with the family, whether hanging around the cottage, at one of the two great docks on marsh creeks, or the lovely pool/pool house directly overlooking seemingly unending marsh. Event barn had ping pong, foosball, other assorted games, and plenty of bikes to borrow to ride all around the property. Everything was first class in every way, we will definitely return. Would be a magnificent location for a wedding or family reunion.
