We stayed at Cattail Cottage on our way from DC to Florida. Everything was wonderful - check in was easy, they were so nice and turned the lights on for us when we arrived late, the cottage was so cute and cozy, and our dog especially loved the outdoors. It was a short trip for us but we’d definitely recommend it to others!

Totally great experience. The property is beautiful, the cottage is private at the back of the property, cozy and charming, coming and going was easy plus checking in and out was a breeze. Dale is a great host and it was very evident that a lot of thought and care was put in to every detail.

Nice quiet getaway

We loved the place. We did not have enough time to hang out and enjoy the pond and peacefulness, as we were too busy trying to fit in some things downtown Savannah. But the place was very nice, the host was very nice, and they seem to think of everything.

Such a Cozy Cottage for us!

We loved this cottage!! Perfect for us and our small dog. Gorgeously decorated and so very comfortable! We have stayed in many places and they look gorgeous but are not comfortable, this place was soooo comfotable! From the sofas to the bed and the luxury pillows! I immediately called my daughter to tell her to build a cottage like this for us to retire to!. Location was great for running into savannah. We explored the area and went to the Midway Mueseum and learned alot about the area! Would love to stay here again!. Perfect place for our littlw dog to roam around

Our weekend at the cottage was everything we needed and more. From the moment we arrived, we were enveloped in a sense of calm, as if the world outside had paused just for us. The privacy was a gift, with nothing but the sounds of nature surrounding us, giving us space to unwind and reconnect. The beds were incredibly comfortable, cradling us in restful sleep, and the entire cottage exuded a warm, inviting charm. Every corner seemed to hold a little touch of coziness—whether it was the flicker of candles, the softness of the throw blankets, or the welcoming décor that made the space feel like home. It was the kind of place that encouraged slowing down, savoring the simple moments, and basking in the peaceful solitude. Every inch of the cottage whispered relaxation, making it the perfect retreat for us to recharge and enjoy each other’s company without distraction.We will definitely be back!

Stars, quiet, and convenient to Savannah

Took a quick weekend with our teenage son. Dayle was proactive and responsive. Property was exactly as advertised. Guest house sits in the back of his large fenced property. It’s nicely decorated and very comfortable. If you’re looking for something a little off the beaten path, but still within 30 minutes of Savannah we would highly recommend.

Beautifully decorated cottage

When you walk into this cottage the beauty of its interior overwhelms you! It is so lovely and comfortable! Still a work in progress, with a kitchenette instead of a full kitchen at this point, but who wants to cook on vacation, anyway? Sit down and relax, or take the dogs out to the spacious grassy property and play ball. Really nice stay.

AMAZING EXPERIENCE

AMAZING!!! Everything was incredible. The check in process, communication, location (close enough to sights, but far away from the hustle). The property is amazing. The home is beautifully decorated and stocked with everything and anything one could need. My daughter had an amazing time riding the 4-wheeler, and I was able to relax by the pond by the sound of the waterfall. The host was amazing and very accommodating. We had an amazing time and hope to return one day soon. THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING DAYLE, you were great!

Cattail Cottage

Nestled just a short 30-minute drive from Savannah, Georgia, Cattail Cottage offers a tranquil escape with its layout and serene surroundings. During our recent weekend getaway, we found this cozy retreat to be a perfect haven, boasting cleanliness, peace, and all the necessary amenities for a relaxing stay. Upon arrival, the condition of the cottage was immediately noticeable, reflecting the care and attention to detail put into maintaining this welcoming space. Our decision to bring both of our dogs, including an elderly companion, turned out to be a great choice as they enjoyed the spacious area surrounding the cottage. The well-equipped cottage and comfortable sleeping quarters ensured that our needs were met, allowing us to unwind and enjoy an stress-free stay. Note: there is no kitchen but does have a small fridge and microwave. The pet-friendly environment made our experience even more enjoyable. In conclusion, Cattail Cottage exceeded our expectations and provided a delightful retreat for a peaceful weekend getaway. I recommend this charming spot to anyone seeking a rejuvenating escape near Savannah. Whether you're looking for a quiet retreat or a pet-friendly accommodation, Cattail Cottage is sure to leave you refreshed and rejuvenated.

Cottage was spotless and elegantly decorated. It was a surprise that there was no kitchen but the rest of the property made up for that. Our “boys “ (dogs), loved the freedom of being outside without their leash for a couple of days.
