We needed a homebase for our stay i. Yhe area while visiting family. It is an older house, not a luxury resort and is pricred as such. House was stocked with necessities. It was clean. It was within walking of town. We will definitely look for this on our next trip.
This is my family's go to place to stay in Folkston! It's a great location and Tracey is so easy to communicate with. If you are staying in the area, I absolutely recommend this place!!!
Quick trip to attend a family wedding and it was like staying at my grandmothers house. Had everything we needed and very comfortable. Downtown is two blocks and has very nice places to eat. Thank you for the hospitality!
In Folkston for the weekend and Azalea Cottage was a perfect resting spot. It was close to the Folkston Funnel and walking distance of several restaurants. Clean, nice and had everything we needed!
Lovely cottage, well supplied with the necessities. Would definitely recommend it to friends.
Quaint southern cottage. Centrally located to St Mary's Ga and Jacksonville, Fl.. Folkston is a small town in southern Georgia with a great history of trains. The Whistling Dixie restaurant is great, staff are great! Nice little town to explore! Great bike trails all around and the Okeechobee Swamp is right down the road, a great place to spend the day! Enjoyed our time at Azalea Cottage!
My family and I enjoyed our stay while being in town for the passing of loved ones. Great country home that even had a beautiful pear tree in the yard. We would definitely book again if needed. Folkston is my childhood town. We were surprised to find a place!
Reluctant to tell how good this cottage is in case it's not free the next time we want to book it!
Much nicer than we imagined it would be, Azalea Cottage is in a great location, has all you need for a few days or a longer stay.
And if you are into railways it's just a couple of minutes walk to the Funnel viewing area.
Clean home. Older, but very quaint and comfortable. Well stocked with coffee pot, toaster, pots and pans, dishes. Quite noisy because the train tracks are approximately 200 yards away. Took some getting used to but after the first night, it wasnât an issue.
We used the house as a base camp for our sightseeing. Spent time in various towns in the area, including Savannah. We enjoyed exploring southern Georgia. We even got used to all the train noise and police sirens which were plentiful in Folkston. The only thing about the house was it could have been cleaner. We left it in better shape than when we arrived.
Myself, two of my sons and 3 of my grandsons stayed at Azalea Cottage for a hunting weekend at our hunting lease (only 12 minutes from our lease). This is a great place, comfortable, clean and perfect for our needs. There is ample parking in the yard which was great for our trailer with the side by side. Although we didn't cook, the kitchen is stocked with pots, pans and dishes. The house is an old house, which we knew and expected, but it is kept up very well. As stated in other reviews, a mainline train track is a couple hundred yards away and the trains come by the house frequently. Not sure how some may take it but it never bothered any of us during our stay. The host Tracey responds back quickly on both emails and phone calls. The house is part of her family history and she is very attentive to her guest's needs. Not only would I stay here again, I am 100% sure that we will be staying here again. Thank you again Tracey.
Overall our stay was nice. The host is totally upfront about all the train watching opportunities/closeness to the tracks ect... I guess we were naive about the level of noise that happens at all hours. On some multi engine long trains....the house will vibrate and windows rattle. You will hear long air horn blasts from trains. 2 to three go by from 10pm-5am. There are also lots of sirens for a small town and you are on a main road in town with semi trucks. It was not easy sitting/talking outside during weekdays. Again....the host was fine, but this was not the best stay for us but I can see where train lovers would be thrilled here.
This is such a great place to stay. It is within walking distance of local restaurants and shops. Grocery store just down the road. About an hour to Florida beaches or go north to Georgia beaches. There are mature trees in the yard and they are beautiful.
The location of the house is ideal for rail fans, Okefenokee Swamp visitors, and anyone visiting family in the area. It's also close to the wedding venue, Daughters Barn.
