About this property

The river is calling your name! Answer the call at Skip’s River Cabin on the Upper St. Marys River between Folkston and St. George, Georgia. Sits right at the river’s edge, the cabin is the perfect home away from home for outdoor enthusiasts and adventurers.
Located just 3 miles from the East entrance to the legendary Okefenokee Swamp, this retreat serves up a bounty of fishing opportunities. Bring your small boat or just enjoy swimming, kayaking, and canoeing the beautiful St Marys River.

Important note: The St Mary’s river floods every other other year or so and when it does, the road in can be impassable. There are two options: I can make arrangements to have canoes there for you to load and paddle a short distance to the cabin or you will need to cancel as the guest and get a full refund. We know several days in advance when its going to flood and I will let you know as sops as I see I will flood. It’s actually my wife and my favorite time to go during the rare flood. It’s an island paradise and an incredible adventure. (-:

decompress

This was a great location to get away from the busyness of life and get a fresh start. I have to say I wasn't prepared for the sulfur water. It would have been nice to know that it is a good idea to bring bottled water.

Enjoyed the place

Beautiful views and loved the porches. It was clean and well appointed (except we could have used a cutting board and couldn't find one). We enjoyed our stay very much.

Roughing in style

The property is very rural, about 2 miles from the nearest paved road, (leave the sports car at home, it won't make it on the sand road, though my Toyota camry made it.) The house is on stilts with a significant climb up stairs. When you get inside it's cozy. A nice little living room and dining area, with a nice kitchen with plenty of pots pans and utensils. There's a wrap-around porch to sit outside and enjoy the scenery. And the scenery is beautiful. There's also a grill and a fire pit. We enjoyed our stay and wished we had more time there.
