Best place to stay in Folkston, by far! Easy check in, super clean and well stocked home, and perfectly situated for railfanning. Would definitely stay again.
House was very clean, conviently located and fit our needs perfectly. Our daughter was married at Daughter’s Barn and we rented the house for her and her 5 bridesmaids to stay the night before and the bridesmaids to stay the night after. Literally a 2min drive which was perfect. Hosts communicated timely and were very helpful.
My son and I love visiting Folkston and this is a favorite place to stay. Perfect location for getting what you need while your son is out chasing trains!

So glad you enjoyed your stay! The location of our cottage & it's close proximity restaurants/shopping is one of our favorite things about it. Come back soon!
Perfect for a vacation or a getaway. Folkston has the perfect small town feel. Great places to eat, shop and hang out. We loved the trains and can't wait to bring our granddaughter back!
Beautiful home in the heart of downtown Folkston .
My husband and I had a wonderful stay here. The home was beautifully decorated. Great linens and decor. It was a very peaceful stay. We enjoyed walking to restaurants and nearby shops. Would recommend highly.

Thank you for staying with us! Please come back soon.
We rented for my son’s birthday. He wanted to train watch. Literally the best location. All he had to do is open the back door. The house was in the perfect location, very clean and comfortable. No complaints. We will return.
This was a refreshing week that we spent here. I really needed a place that I could relax and get away from every day life. My family and I really enjoyed our time here. We got to see trains, went to Okefenokee swamp, and Cumberland Island. The hostess was very nice.
Loved the place! It was so cute and close to the daughter’s barn for a wedding. The only issue we had was the train tracks that are right behind the house. There was a train 7 times during the night.

Thanks for the review, Alana! ♥️ We try to make our listing clear that the trains are so close & provide earplugs for anyone who can has issues with it. Most of our visitors don’t hear them at all. I’m sorry if this effected your stay! Please let us know if you have suggestions to make our listing more clear,
Such a quaint little place. This was our second stay and loved it. It’s hard finding nice places in the area to stay when we come visit family. So glad we found this little gem! Our kids love watching the trains out the back door! We will definitely be back.
We really loved the conductors corner!
Just a Dad and two kids 7-4 enjoying fall break at the Okefenokee!
My kids really enjoyed the openness of the house. The large yard, the accessibility to downtown.
The trains were awesome and my little boy really enjoyed running out to watch. This place is so close to the Oke Poke. It makes for a great Base camp. They even have three RV hook up spots. I’ll definitely be back with a bigger family for more adventures.
My family have used this property 3 times in the last year. It is perfect for some of our family members to stay with kids only a block from our family home. Wonderful for small to moderate sized family gatherings and cookouts. We celebrated a family member's 45th birthday and the next day my mother's 96th birthday. Kids love the great view of the trains from the back deck and back yard area for play and grilling.

Thank you for staying with us! Please come back soon.
Our kiddos loved it here! We can just step out the nice back porch and check out freight and Amtrak trains. Parents can relax on the porch with a view of the kids. The bungalow is spacious, comfortable, and modern. We loved the bed in the master bedroom! The owners were easy to communicate with and were incredibly friendly. Having access to convenience stores and some restaurants was great! We will be back!

Thanks for the awesome review. We are so happy your kiddos enjoyed Railwatch at the cottage! Please come back to visit us soon.
We came to Folkston to celebrate our son's 17th birthday. He is a huge rail fanner and this seemed like a perfect present for him. The cottage was as promised and was very welcoming and comfortable. This is our 2nd trip to Folkston, but, the main difference this time is that I actually slept through the night despite trains rolling on by!

I’m so glad your son’s birthday was wonderful! We pride ourselves in the comfort of our cottage - so thank you for the great feedback!
Stayed there for only 2 nights for the railfan winterfest. The house is very close to the tracks but still just far enough away.(separated only by a small parking lot and long grassy yard) You can see the trains just by opening the back door. Conductors Cabin is a home away from home. Extremely clean, the beds are very comfortable. the decor is up to date and very nice. Just a lovely and cozy home. And, the hosts are very, very nice and easy to work with. Definitely will try to stay there again in the future!
