    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

    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.
