Cozy and quiet cabin

Even though its further back in the woods than you would think, the property itself is beautiful and gated with lots of little areas for chilling and grilling. The morning sunrise over the marsh is picturesque and the little touches are nice. The cabin itself, while small, is perfect for an individual who spends more time out and about on vacation. The owner Donelle is very responsive and helpful and the little touches shes done (be it the gurgling stream, the string lights, and many other details) make it feel like a small resort bungalo. I would stay here again if i came back to the beaufort area!

The Cure for Work Fatigue

The cottage is exactly the place you need if you want to escape and unplug for a while! She may be small, but she is mighty! The room was clean and tidy and although small, we found it to be quaint and comfortable. There were lots of outdoor spaces to relax including a tree swing, pagoda picnic area on the marsh, water feature with flowers in bloom, several seating areas facing the marsh to watch beautiful sunrises and nature unfolding. It is a short drive to the beaches, great seafood restaurants, and historic Beaufort (BU-fort not BOW-fort). We did not take advantage of the available grill or the outdoor shower but will do so on our next trip! Two other cottages on the property share the outdoor spaces; not an issue at all as we rarely saw anyone else during our visit. It is a small paradise in the lowcountry, and we hope to return!

Nice location

The only thing I did not like about this stay was the Direct TV service. It took me forever to find local channels. Thankfully, there was Netflix, which I didn't have to use my account to watch it. Also, I didn't see any trash bags to dispose of my trash. I took my trash with me.

Mini Hideaway

My wife and I had a very enjoyable week long stay. The State Park pass was a big plus. We lucked out with a very nice stretch of early March weather which allowed us to spend most of our time outside or in the screened in porch. It really is a very nice spot. Donelle was a gracioius host. We left a lap top behind and Donelle arranged to have it expeditiously returned to us without complaint, which was greatly appreciated. We would recommend the mini hideaway without reservation, it was exactly as advertised.

Small quarters, clean, and on a beautiful grounds / setting.

Small quarters - but all you really need (two beds, fridge, microwave, sink, shower, and toilet) if you are more focused on the wonderful outdoors. Clean, and on a beautiful grounds / setting. Nice touches with the water feature and the fire pit.

The beauty of the Marshland

The property very well maintained. Good outdoor relaxion opportunities. I enjoyed sitting on the chairs overlooking the marsh and watching the egrets flying about. Very quiet and peaceful. The cottage is adorable and well decorated. A ceiling fan on the porch would be nice. The location is close to the islands, horseback riding at Camelot Farms and shopping. Donelle was very accommodating and pleasant to work with. I enjoyed my visit and loved it here.

Lovely low country tiny home

Looking for a perfect place to relax, refresh, and restore your soul? Look no further. Not only is it a well thought out property but it comes with a Hunting Island State Park pass allowing a true introduction to low country beauty. It was my first time to this area and I had the best time. Donelle is a great host. I highly recommend!

Lovely Little Hideaway!

Perfect little property tucked "out in the middle of nowhere" yet so close to everything. Donelle was AMAZING and so was this property! All the "little things" and the sweet thoughts just pushed it right over the top. Best VRBO I've stayed in to date.

Weekend Getaway

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the tiny house. It was more than equipped with what we needed. The hostess provided bottled water and tea as well which was a pleasant surprise after a long trip in. We had a flat tire on the way in and she was more than willing to work with us to reschedule our trip but it all worked out that we could still come for our trip. She was more than gracious!!! We would love to come back for a visit when the weather gets a little cooler.

cozy marshland camper

Nice camper for visiting area. Super tiny, but equipped with basic supplies. Great place to land while visiting the beach. Quiet location. No wifi, very limited TV channels. We were looking fr a place to stay while looking at properties in the surrounding areas. The tiny camper served our needs. Donelle was an excellent host! Very quick to respond.

Awesome!!

We really enjoyed our second visit to the property. It is difficult to fully describe how beautiful and relaxing the location is. Being able to relax and unwind while on vacation is important and this is a wonderful place to do just that. Whether it’s sitting by the campfire, watching the tide rise and fall in the marsh or sharing your morning coffee with the song birds, you won’t find a more safe and peaceful place to stay. The accommodations are great and EVERYTHING you need has been thoughtfully been provided. The bed is really comfortable and ensures a great night’s sleep. We had no issues whatsoever and are so very thankful for the opportunity to have another “glamping” experience. Donnelle is always very quick to answer any questions you may have and is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to where to eat or what to do while staying in low country. We have and will continue to recommend this property to our friends, family and online readers. This place is a true gem!!
