Welcome home to your very own charming shore-side hideaway! The Ranch House is a family-friendly three-bedroom, two bath dwelling situated perfectly on the marsh front. The beauty is in the details and Ranch House has all those special touches a family looks for in a getaway. As you arrive and walk along the porch which runs the length of the home, you will notice the driftwood support beams that complement the charming Spanish moss & 200-year-old live oaks that fill your marsh front view. On this front porch you will enjoy rustic outdoor furniture that can comfortably seat five of your closest friends or family. Soak in those picturesque views of the golden isles!

Our moss green front door invites you to the spacious living room with a working floor-to-ceiling brick fireplace. The beautifully restored Terrazzo flooring throughout much of the dwelling elevates the airy and relaxed feel of the coastal south. The living room space provides ample seating for up to five people. The adjacent dining room is appointed with a long wood concord table that easily hosts 8+ friends or family members. The kitchen, which is an open concept to the dining room and living room, is stocked and supplied with everything you need to enjoy with your loved ones.

Adjacent to the front of the Ranch House is an outdoor gas grill as well as outdoor fire-pit and seating which welcome you to enjoy large gatherings with family and friends. The outdoor pavilion also includes a ceiling fan, picnic table, gas grill, fire pit, & seating all provided for your enjoyment.

POOL & POOL HOUSE!
Ranch House reservations include the use of the Emma's Driftwood Farm communal pool & screened-in pool house. Relax under dangling moss and take in the views of the marsh, or take a dip in the pool, heated for year-round enjoyment.

***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***

Located on Emma’s Driftwood Farm
Where the trees weep with Spanish moss and the twisting waterways sail you far away from the outside world. Our three water-front dwellings right off the inter-coastal waterway sit on sixty-five acres of picturesque marshland brimming with aquatic life, soaring domestic fowl, and local flora. All three dwellings on the property have sweeping views of the marsh, creeks, and live oak forest.

Emma’s Driftwood Farm is the ideal place to call home while enjoying all the fly-fishing and inshore fishing, birding, crabbing, and boating that the Georgia Coast has to offer. Traveling yachtsmen will love the access and use of 2 communal deep-water docks on the property.

Truly Spectacular!
The property description and photos couldn't have prepared us for the 'awesomeness' that is Emma's Driftwood. The accommodations (Ranch House), the amenities, the service, and the setting... oh, the majesty of the setting, all combined for a new level of... WOW! While our intention was to explore more of the surrounding area, there was little to entice us back through the gates once the cupboards were stocked. We found ourselves completely decompressed with books, binoculars and birding apps in hand. Anyone seeking serenity with modern amenities, should absolutely have Emma's on a (very) short list! Our return isn't a question of if, but when...

Dream Retreat
I stayed here with my husband and 2 young children and it was a dream! The Ranch House was secluded and faced directly onto breathtaking swaths of marsh. We couldn’t resist getting outside before dawn because the sunrises were so gorgeous. I read other reviews stating this is even more beautiful in person and couldn’t agree more. The Spanish moss, huge trees, misty islands on the horizon, and farm environment created a tranquil retreat for us. Both kids even slept through each night, which is unheard of in this family! We enjoyed walking on to the docks and tried our hands at crabbing (though we only caught one). The crabbing and fishing equipment is functional and ready to use but keep in mind you’ll have to share with other farm guests- due to this we weren’t able to use it for half the time we were there. The pool is beautiful but heater was not on for part of our stay so our swimming excursions were very brief and chilly. The event barn was also fun with football, ping pong, and soccer balls/frisbees available to use. The location of the farm is ideal. We were able to spend a day in Savannah as well as visit several beautiful barrier island beaches that had beachfront parking and no crowds. I would love to return here and next time will even consider bringing extended family and renting the whole farm. I continue to daydream and reminisce about what an idyllic vacation this was- thank you!

Best secret in South GA
Just an amazing property from beginning to finish...arrived late at night and drove through the winding woods to a secluded but very modern and well appointed house. The pool, main party, barn, docks winding trails and fishing dock were all that was promised....THANK YOU FOR THE HOSPITALITY upon check with box of s'mores supplies, meat and cheese board and wine! This was much needed vacation with the family to reunite.

Southern plantation, where the living is easy!
This was a delightful winter retreat. The grounds of this estate rival and epitomize southern plantation living. We were pleasantly surprised with all of the personal touches afforded by the team. The perks were classy and to abundant to list in this review. All of the accommodations on this property were beautiful and unique. However, the most memorable impression came from the random acts of kindness demonstrated by the entire team. Kudos to John, Mayor Bubba and Hunter for going the extra mile and giving us an excuse to come back next year. They were even thoughtful enough to mail my leather jacket I left behind. Rest assured, you will not be disappointed!

Marsh relaxation: Great for a family retreat
We had the best time at Emma’s Driftwood Farm. It was the perfect getaway and we spent long hours enjoying the marsh views and lolling in the fantastic swimming pool. The house was comfortable, clean and well-stocked. Nearby restaurants were tasty and dog-friendly. As an aside, my husband and our dog, Eddie, spotted a creature with a ringed tail and mask in one of the palmetto trees lining the marsh. It looked like a lemur (it was not a raccoon). There’s a lemur colony on a nearby island, so it may have been a wanderer. In any case, the great lemur watch was entertaining!
