"Thanks for your hospitality. We enjoyed our stay at your cabin. It gave us a chance to relax and enjoy some solitude away from the busyness of life. The bread was delicious! Hope to see you guys again."

"Thank you for sharing your Oaks of Eden with us. We learned a lot about coastal Georgia, it's history and beauty. We escaped the frigid cold and snow of our long winters in Wisconsin... at least for a while. We loved the organic gardening produce and tips and being introduced to classical guitar. Sue was so kind to walk with Dillon and me and let sweet Luna play. May God bless you and dwell in your lives."

"We've visited many places across the world, but never have we found such warmth and hospitality! Even the canine welcome was top-notch -- Sam enjoyed playing with Luna so much and thanks to Sue, I'm going to have to switch to "Beggin Strips". The cottage and its surroundings are beautiful as well. Thanks so much for a great visit!"

"Look up hospitality in Websters' Dictionary and you should find a picture of Sue and John Korrow. They epitomize the art of making their guests feel special. We felt like we were visiting old friends. Even though the weather was unseasonably cold, our hearts were warmed by their kindness and generousity."

"What a lovely way to ring in the New Year! Your cottage is a peaceful, beautiful getaway and we enjoyed both the solitude and the opportunity to explore the coastal waters. Thanks for the banana bread, the delicious salad and the advice on where to go and what to do. We'll be back."

"This was just perfect!! Thank you so much! My future wife hails from Atlanta and this was the perfect way to escape! It was too nice to get away from the horns and hollars and just relax with the crickets and oaks! I thank you so much! This was much more than she expected. We will be staying again! We were comfortable as soon as we walked in the door! The bread was addictive and I will definitely be trying to con y'all out of the Italian dressing recipe, it was to die for!"

We will look forward to coming back and enjoying the Georgia coast when it's not a hectic wedding weekend. Looks like there's a lot to explore and would love to get out there in the kayaks!"

We enjoyed the personal touches as well as the view and our delightful host and hostess. I shall look forward to a repeat performance in the future. We both thank John & Sue and wish them all the luck and joy."

"Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful cottage with us! We spent a great afternoon in Savannah and the dogs fell in love with Jekyll Island. The sunset on the beach was perfect! After not getting here until late Friday, the fresh salad and banana bread was just what we needed. We have never felt so welcome! Thank you again and we look forward to planning our next stay!"

"Thank you, thank you for such a wonderful spot on the Georgia coast! Your cottage is beautiful -- in design & function. This was just what we needed after a harried week elsewhere. The only problem is that we were only here two nights. We would have loved four or more! The hospitality was excellent -- all as promised. The observation deck is fabulous at dawn & for star-gazing. I loved the greenhouse tour & John has expanded our salad palette! Thanks again & we're looking forward to returning!"

"This place is truly magical and mystical because it exudes such a sense of spiritual tranquility. I loved staying here and enjoying the priceless glimpse of an environment virtually lost in today's angst for so much that is superficial. Thank you Sue and John for the kind and warm people you are and for offering this lovely place to others."

"We very much enjoyed our 1st vacation with baby Jaxson in Oaks of Eden. The shrimp cocktail and muffins were a very nice welcome. We visited Jekyll Island where Jaxson had his 1st experience with the ocean. I think he's hooked! We come to the low country every year and always enjoy it. You two were great hosts. Good luck with your empty nesting, it will be awhile before we are there."

The seafood platter was to die for and the muffins were great! The only bad part is... we have to leave! We'll be back without a doubt. Thanks again!"

We decided not to sightsee but chose to stay here all day to enjoy the beauty of this place. The treats & John's plant knowledge were an added pleasure. Hope to be back soon!"

"At the Oaks of Eden John & Sue Korrow not only our most gracious hosts, but now our friends, have given us a most beautiful start in our lives together. We were married on 5/16/09 and we were truly blessed by John & Sue. They opened their paradise to us and we were totally pampered. From the delicious organic greens (yes, we even ate them for breakfast!) artisan bread, homemade chicken soup to the conversations between friends. We can't thank you enough, John & Sue for everything, the laughter, the amenities, the plants, the advice, this place. We will be back!! God Bless You!!"

This was a perfect spot to explore the area on our Harley. Thank you so much for the little touches that make the stay so much more. We really felt at home here. You two have done a fine job making this cottage what it is. Thank you again."

"Location, location, location! After viewing the pictures and reading the descriptions we couldn't resist the allure of the 'Oaks of Eden Cottage'. Once we entered John and Sue's unique property we realized that all our dreams and desires would be fulfilled. The cozy cottage is surrounded by natural beauty and a balance of John and Sue's landscaping. It is an extraordinary place to live unspoiled and serene. Their cottage is located near so many islands and historic sites if you want to explore. Or you can just relax and enjoy the pleasures and surroundings of the cottage and Mother Nature. We are so grateful to John and Sue for sharing their cottage and their way of life with us. Thank you for everything including great conversations!"

"From the moment we arrived until we sadly had to go, John & Sue and the Oaks of Eden were perfect hosts for a post-Easter respite. Wonderful weather, great location for 'Coastal Georgia Touring'! We had a great day on Sapelo Island with JC (485-2206)! We hope your stay was as great as ours. Ask John & Sue about the "great fire" of '09 which made for a fantastic 'oyster & shrimp & kraut' evening with them!"

The surroundings are amazing. We saw a dolphin off the Patterson dock in the Seabreeze community, went to Jekyll and St. Simons and saw the smallest church in America! Great bike rides too! We'll be back!"

Thank you for all the extras including the fresh seafood and fresh salad and muffins that made me really feel at home and well cared for. I hope to come back someday and bring my husband to share all this with him. Take care -- thanks again for everything."

Thank you so much for everything, the salad, the muffins but most of all, your hospitality. Please come to visit us in New Mexico. I'm sure you would love it as much as we love here."
