Skip’s Rustic River Cabin near Okefenokee Swamp

The river is calling your name! Answer the call at Skip’s River Cabin on the Upper St. Marys River between Folkston and St. George, Georgia. Sits right at the river’s edge, the cabin is the perfect home away from home for outdoor enthusiasts and adventurers.
Located just 3 miles from the East entrance to the legendary Okefenokee Swamp, this retreat serves up a bounty of fishing opportunities. Bring your small boat or just enjoy swimming, kayaking, and canoeing the beautiful St Marys River.

Important note: The St Mary’s river floods every other other year or so and when it does, the road in can be impassable. There are two options: I can make arrangements to have canoes there for you to load and paddle a short distance to the cabin or you will need to cancel as the guest and get a full refund. We know several days in advance when its going to flood and I will let you know as sops as I see I will flood. It’s actually my wife and my favorite time to go during the rare flood. It’s an island paradise and an incredible adventure. (-:

This was a great location to get away from the busyness of life and get a fresh start. I have to say I wasn't prepared for the sulfur water. It would have been nice to know that it is a good idea to bring bottled water.

Beautiful views and loved the porches. It was clean and well appointed (except we could have used a cutting board and couldn't find one). We enjoyed our stay very much.

Roughing in style
The property is very rural, about 2 miles from the nearest paved road, (leave the sports car at home, it won't make it on the sand road, though my Toyota camry made it.) The house is on stilts with a significant climb up stairs. When you get inside it's cozy. A nice little living room and dining area, with a nice kitchen with plenty of pots pans and utensils. There's a wrap-around porch to sit outside and enjoy the scenery. And the scenery is beautiful. There's also a grill and a fire pit. We enjoyed our stay and wished we had more time there.

Tight quarters cold showers
Property was nice with it being on the river but the bedrooms are very small and no room for luggage. Shower only has hot water for about 2 minutes then pure cold. The porches were very nice. The cabin was crowded with 4 adults and a dog. We left 3 days early.

10 star worthy stay and 20 star host!
We had a small country wedding at Skips cabin . Check in was easy. Skips directions were perfect. He was there to show us all the need to knows and available any time we needed. The photos of the cabin don't due it justice. For anyone looking for a quiet get away this is beyond perfect. I say everyone should stay at Skips and experience the southern hospitality unmatched anywhere else and maybe youl will be lucky enough to catch the rain from a front porch rocking chair !! Skip we can't thank you enough it's been a pleasure!

Peaceful
Fun place to stay, out of the way, did take some trying to find it but had a great time. Weather was cool and rainy, perfect to grill and chill in the evening and listen to the rain on the tin in the morning with coffee. Being entertained by the deer and the birds is such a nice change from the rat race everywhere else. Rustic and simple but clean and comfortable. Came for a short stay but will be back to stay longer. Thanks for everything!
