Incredible attention to detail is how I would characterize this historic cottage. It's clear a lot of thought went into the interior furnishings, but the real showstopper is the back porch. That's where we spent the majority of our time. It was fantastic. The location is convenient to shops and restaurants, but is incredibly quiet. The loudest noise we heard all weekend was a neighbor's rooster crowing. I don't think more than one or two cars passed by during our stay.

A family gathering

The cottage was ideal for the two of us. It is adorable! Had all the things we needed in the kitchen. It is in a great location to see family on SSI and also enjoy the town of Darien The Lunch Box is an awesome place to eat for lunch. Thanks for allowing us to stay at Moss Cottage!

About the host

Hosted by Jaime Drawdy & Michael McGraw

Host profile image
We recently moved to Darien and fell in love with this quant town, the history and nature around us. We decided to enbark on buying a small home in downtown Darien that we ourselves have completely renovated and brought back to life. We hope to have others come enjoy our home and the quantness of our cute little town.

Why they chose this property

This property is small but filled with tons of character, cozy and relaxing. Plus we are in walking distance of downtown Darien filled with restaurants, a wine bar, a speak easy, antique shop's, beautiful churches and parks! Plus we are less than a 30 minute drive to St.Simons Island, Sea Island and Jekyll, 45 minute drive to Savannnah or a short ferry ride to Sapelo Island.

What makes this property unique

The house was built in 1940 and we've tried to stay close to its oringial character from when it was built. Lots of nautal wood, original wood floors and a cozy back porch over looking Columbus Park.
