We had a wonderful stay. The Cottage was perfect. We enjoyed the enclosed porch and pool tremendously. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay with a wonderful host. Would highly recommend. We visit St Mary’s a lot. This stay was by far our favorite. Will be booking another stay soon. The Johnson’sPowder Springs Ga

While the weather wasn't always ideal, everything in the control of the owner was great. You will not find a better supplied rental. Everything you might think of (and much more) was provided: great linens, a stocked coffee bar, paper goods. herbs and spices, laundry items, etc. Sitting on the porch or poolside was relaxing and comfortable. The neighborhood is quiet but near enough to restaurants and other attractions. All in all a great place to stay. Thanks Stacey and Wendy.

We had a wonderful vacation at Stacey’s place. The house was cozy and had everything you could possibly think you might need for a stay away from home. The yard was peaceful and the pool was perfect for the extreme heat we had during our stay. Perfect location close to everything in sweet little St. Marys. We hope to stay again!

We had a wonderful stay. We had everything we needed while we were there. You could tell a lot of thought had been put into what a family might need, including items like first aid, bug spray, etc. The pool was very clean and having the screen enclosure over it was great for keeping bugs away and leaves, etc. out of the pool. We would stay here again.

Home Away From Home

We loved the quiet neighborhood setting. The back yard was a perfect place to sit and relax. It was totally fenced in which was great for our GoldenDoodle. The pool was beautiful, but unfortunately it was a bit cold for swimming in February.
