About this property

You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Waterfront, 7 acres; Stunning Home on Coastal Tidal Marsh w/Private Dock

Visit this peaceful Georgia cabin rental for a kind of quiet you didn’t know still existed, as you visit the last remaining stretch of undeveloped Georgia coast.

The only sound you’ll hear at this serene 3-bedroom, 2-bath vacation rental in Shellman Bluff Georgia, is the breeze blowing through the Spanish moss on the oak trees that surround you.

Savor a coffee on the porch as you watch the sunrise before heading out to explore in kayaks using the private dock steps from the porch. Launch your own boat from nearby Shellman Bluff Fish Camp and tie up at your own private dock.

Smell the salt air mixed with the earthy aromas of the marsh. Take in the sunrise with a steaming hot cup of coffee on the best situated screened porch in Georgia.
Sit in wonder as Mother Nature constantly changes the artwork of light and wildlife with the ever-changing tides.

Catch your dinner off your own private dock: a bounty of blue crab, shrimp and fish.

At day’s end, look forward to a campfire under the stars and a delicious seafood dinner caught in your backyard.

Come experience the log cabin that a great love story built. We've lovingly restored this sweet space and call her, "Ms. Lou's Cabin," named in honor of her original owner.

There's not another home like this on the entire Georgia coast. So special, sitting on 7 private acres.

Spend your entire time on this one-of-a-kind property or go explore. This home is perfectly situated for day trips to Savannah, Tybee Island, Saint Simons, Brunswick and Jekyll Island.

Keep your calendar handy because this place ruins you quickly. Our guests don't seem to leave without first booking their next trip back.

We can't wait to see you at Ms. Lou's Cabin!

(One note: Because of the way the VRBO software works, this is listed as a 4 bedroom cabin. A better explainer: There are two dedicated bedrooms. One is downstairs with a king-sized bed. The other is upstairs and has two queen-sized beds. The other two sleep spaces are a loft and the front sitting room which turns into a private bedroom with the use of a sliding pocket door. Both of these spaces have fold out couches that transform into queen-sized beds. If you are looking for a cookie cutter McMansion this is not your place. If you crave quirky comfort and a one of a kind place, please come see us!)
During your stay at this cabin, you'll be close to Harris Neck. You'll find features such as a gym. The cabin offers free WiFi and a kitchen.
  • Air-conditioned cabin with kitchen, washing machine and 2 bathrooms
  • Free WiFi
  • On-site recreation includes a gym and a playground

A transcendent experience at Ms. Lou's
It’s difficult to fully articulate what a transcendent experience I had at Ms. Lou’s this past long weekend. The house is charming, the views from every angle are so engaging; I just stared and stared, trying to take mental photos to thumb through at home when I'm sucked back into the maelstrom of real life . I think I loved the back screened porch the most; the perfect place to just sit quietly under the fan, watching the gently undulating Spanish moss in the live oaks in front of the cabin, the graceful egrets and cormorants flying in and out of the marsh, listening to each bird’s unique sound. I was easily able to lay down all the stress and worries that haunt so many of us in our daily lives and feel truly at peace. I honestly think that if I could just sit on the dock and watch the sun glinting off the Spartina grass and the inexorable movement of the tidal creek every day for the rest of my life, I'd be a contented person. Thanks Daryn for sharing your special place with us and allowing me that bliss!

Perfect Plan B!
My family (my Dad, Stepmom, Husband, myself, and our two daughters—8 & 10), go away every fall—typically to the mountains in Western North Carolina. Unfortunately, that area was devastated by Hurricane Helene. That is when I stumbled upon last minute availability at Ms. Lou’s Cabin. It’s tough to please people from aged 8 to 68! I never thought a marsh could be so beautiful. We enjoyed gorgeous sunrises, fishing (with poles provided), kayaked (with kayaks provided), and enjoyed the quiet family time. We also ventured to Jekyll Island and Savannah, which are both very doable (about an hour) day trips. The property is amazingly clean, and comfortable. Small things that made it stand out from other stays we have done were personalized directions, super simple check out without a list of chores to end your getaway and, recommendations specific to our family. Daryn was a great, extremely responsive host despiste being out of town during our stay. We will definitely be back!

Marshland Beauty
We stayed here for three nights and loved it. We never left the property because it was so beautiful! We contemplated going over to the nature preserve nearby but we realized that the house we were staying in and surrounding land was just as beautiful! Watching the tides was my obsession and so many water birds. I’m a life long native Floridian who has never lived outside my state, but THIS was a whole new kind of beautiful. We will be back here! It’s in my heart and soul, this piece of land! We loved it…..

Beautiful Experience
We loved our time at this beautiful house on the marsh. It is a wonderful setting, on the tidal marsh, and we enjoyed the constantly changing landscape and wildlife. The birds, the stars, and the quiet were such a pleasure. The screened in porch is so, so nice and the entire house is extremely comfortable. Absolutely anything that you need is provided. The house was spotless, and completely ready for us. Daryn was a wonderfully friendly, helpful. and accomodating host. We would love to come back and highly recommend it to others.

Amazing retreat in spectacular nature
We had the most wonderful stay at Ms Lou’s cabin. The cabin was cozy and beautifully decorated, super clean and incredibly well stocked with everything we needed in the kitchen and bathrooms. We spend a lot of much-needed relaxing time at the cabin where we kayaked, played board games and caught crabs, but also visited the nearby nature reserve and saw tons of birds and gators. It’s easy to explore the golden islands on George’s coast from the location. Also loved our day trip to Savannah. Ms Daryn was very easy to communicate with and just wonderful in every way. We look forward to coming back again to enjoy the beauty, sunrise above the marsh, birds and complete quiet. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Away from it all
Wonderful hidden away oasis. The cabin is very well appointed with everything you may need and the surrounding landscape of the marsh seems to melt away the rush of the real world. A place to decompress completely with activities available if you choose to partake in them. I hope to return!

Perfect!
I couldn't ask for a better place to stay while I was in the Savannah area. The home itself was cozy, clean and well equipped - and had SPECTACULAR VIEWS from every room! I spent almost all of my time on the pier, exploring the property or watching wildlife. So many birds! The sunrises were breathtaking. I recommend eating breakfast on the pier, but if weather is bad, the screened in porch is a great backup. There is plenty to do as a solo traveler or if travelling with family (kayaks, games, fire pits, swings, etc.). Daryn was an amazing host. She answered all of my many questions in preparation for arrival and continued to communicate and offer guidance on places to visit in the area. If you are looking for a quiet getaway where you want to be surrounded by the natural beauty and soundtrack of the marshes of coastal Georgia, look no further. MsLousCabin is perfect!

Amazing Location
The location is incredible--right on the tidal marsh. From the house and dock, we saw amazing water birds. We even watched a dolphin splashing around right by the dock. We kayaked right from the dock on several days. It was also a great home base to make day trips to Savannah, Sapelo Island and Jekyll Island. Host was very communicative and made great recommendations for the area. Highly recommend!

Great place if you like privacy and nature. Excellent crabbing right off the dock. Poor or no road signage, but learned our way around after a couple days. Good base for traveling to local attractions. Hire a guide if you want to explore the waterways, or fish.

Tranquil and beautiful
We really enjoyed this property. It has a beautiful view of the marsh and the house is updated nicely and is very clean and comfortable. It has a great screen porch overlooking the marsh and also a nice dock with a picnic table. We rent houses frequently and found the bed and linens to be very comfortable. We love the Shellman Bluff area and often stay in this local for day trips to St Simons island for golf. It’s great to come back to such a peaceful retreat. The owner is very good at communicating quickly and made sure we had all we needed. Of the 5 or 6 places we’ve stayed in the area, this is a top choice.

Wow! Wow! Wow!
What a special place. The house is well appointed and exactly as described. There was plenty of room for our family of four plus my mother to enjoy and relax. The house is more than comfortable, clean, and Daryn is easy to communicate with and responsive. But really what makes this place special is it's amazing location along the marsh. It felt like we were able to transport ourselves to a different time. Our kids got to crab and fish along the dock and spent hours on the giant swing. We enjoyed evenings of smores by the campfire and a place to really soak in each other and the surrounding beauty of the marsh. There are kayaks at the house to explore further, even though our kids got a little nervous at the mention of crocodiles! We also spent a day out on the water with Captain Carlton Sawyer - a special day to explore the coast with someone who knew the history and every person in the county! In addition, we got to see more than 60 dolphins! This is the perfect place for the perfect trip to truly get away from it all.
