Rum Runner's cabin is a one-bedroom, one-bath cabin, complete with a fully stocked kitchen with all the modern appliances. This dwelling also offers an outdoor fire pit with seating and a cozy chair swing all nestled in the live oak and old growth cedars. Rum Runner's Cabin moniker comes from the legendary William "Bill" McCoy who locals say used this Cabin as a hideout to socially distance from the revenuers during prohibition. You too can Escape from the rest of the world just as he did in this historic cabin. Just promise you'll have a glass of rum while you're here, for his sake.

POOL & POOL HOUSE!

***Just 40 minutes away from local beaches at St. Simons & Jekyll islands, or reach out to your host to arrange a trip to the beautiful & secluded beaches at Sapelo Island***

Peaceful, beautiful, well-managed

I'm home now in New England, & woke up this morning still expecting to open my front door to see the sun rise over the marsh, & to walk out onto the boardwalk over it. The sun was shining, the birds were calling, & I was filled with peace & the expectation of another relaxing day. Relaxation is the key word here! I went on a few excellent walks & runs, read, watched a movie, cooked...just what I was looking for. Bonuses were the fire pit & the supplies to make s'mores, stars, the treats that greeted us upon arrival, & the helpfulness of the staff. Visit the Fort King George! Close by, and interesting. My 14 year old also managed to enjoy himself, but he wished the forest were more vast for long stretches of exploration; the "nature trails" are quite short. The marsh was so beautiful, we all wished that we could have taken a little boat out, but there didn't seem to be a way to do that. The pool was not warm enough for swimming in December, & we longed for a hot tub. The tub in the cabin is a claw one & not the ideal shower experience. I just learned that my husband took the bags of coffee home—he missed the little card indicating that we'll be charged for them! Also--if you like organic food, don't wait until you get to Darien to stock up. If you like fried food, you'll have plenty of options for dining out! These are not complaints, just little things to be aware of. Overall we loved our stay and would return.

Incredible Property

My husband and I had an incredible weekend at Emma’s Driftwood Farm! The property was immaculate. We stayed in the Rum Runner cabin and it was the perfect space for us. We took full advantage of all the property had to offer and utilized the bikes, fishing gear, pool, seafood boil pot, crab pots and grill- this property has it all! We did a fishing charter with Mad Shark and highly recommend, they will pick you up from the dock! We will absolutely be back for another weekend away at Emma’s!

Georgia Marsh Paradise

Our stay at Emma’s Driftwood Farm was one of the most peaceful we’ve had. We were the only ones on the property and spent the days fishing, swimming, and enjoying the wild diversity the marsh has to offer. Our little cabin was pristine and perfect. Thank you to the entire staff who make their guests feel so welcome and cared for. There is healing happening in this former plantation.
