Ginny & Neil, Thank you for sharing your home. It is such a special place and reflects the love and care you have poured into the property over the years. We are thirlled with the peice of art we purchased and will proudly display it in our mountain home in Georgia. Sorry for the invasion of kids. I was not ok with that, and would like to apologize for any inconvenience that may have caused.

Beautiful property in a perfect location

Sailors rest is gorgeous, and the owners are very friendly and courteous. They offered fresh eggs and a full kitchen for those who like to cook, and for those who don't, there's plenty of restaurants nearby that don't disappoint.

Paradise

We stayed at sailors rest for a long weekend. We were greeted by the sweetest sign, welcoming us. We fell in love with the place immediately. it is a natural habitat. We were in awe of the many artistic and unique outdoor venues in this setting. Jenny and Neil were amazing hosts and couldn’t have been more hospitable.
