About the host

Hosted by Michelle

Dan and Michelle Dean moved just over the FL/GA border to South Georgia with their two youngest children in 2018. They have restored the Museum, the Guest Cottage and the historic gardens according to the state and nation's highest preservation standards. They are stewards of the works of Laura Pope Forester and this historic site and enjoy assisting guests in their hospitality needs.

Why they chose this property

This property is located in rural area where farming and fishing go hand in hand in this area. The natural habitat includes wild birds of many sizes and species as well as deer, rabbits and more. We love fields of "Georgia snow" (aka cotton) and groves of pecan trees throughout the area.

What makes this property unique

Unquestionably, Pope's Museum and the cottage is more than just an overnight accommodation; it is a destination. Be sure and schedule a tour of the entire grounds and learn why the U.S. National Park Service lists it as a feature destination for lovers of art, women's history and U.S history.
