Crooked River Charm: Sabina's Riverside Cottage
Escape to Sabina's Cottage at 1879 Mush Bluff Rd. in St. Marys, GA. This peaceful riverfront retreat on Crooked River features breathtaking sunrises, frequent dolphin sightings, and a tranquil setting perfect for reconnecting. Just 5 miles from Kings Bay Submarine Base and a short drive to the Cumberland Island ferry, it blends quiet charm with convenient access. Discover why guests keep coming back to this hidden gem.
Sabina's Cottage is a peaceful riverfront getaway nestled beside Crooked River State Park in St. Marys, GA. This quaint 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom cottage offers a cozy, well-appointed space surrounded by natural beauty. Inside, you'll find a fully stocked kitchen, two king bedrooms with blackout curtains, and a sunroom that's perfect for quiet mornings or afternoon reading.
The deck faces the Crooked River, offering beautiful views of peaceful sunrises, dolphin sightings, and an active osprey nest just beyond the yard. Guests often tell us how quiet and serene it is—perfect for birdwatching, relaxing on the screened porch, or stargazing by the fire pit in the evening.
The home also includes a covered fish cleaning station and a driveway large enough for a 25' boat. With a public boat ramp to the Intracoastal Waterway less than 300 yards away, you're perfectly positioned for fishing, kayaking, or boating adventures.
Whether you're planning a romantic escape, a laid-back getaway, or a trip to nearby Cumberland Island, Sabina's Cottage offers the charm, comfort, and quiet you've been looking for.
