Our family owns the ferry service to Cumberland Island. The cottage pays tribute to the Ferrys that have taken passengers to the Island for the past 30 years. The Cumberland Queen was the first ferry. The current ferrys are The Cumberland Princess, The Cumberland Lady and the Cumberland Queen II. We have two original wheel house windows from the Cumberland Queen that were salvaged after it sank during hurricane Irma in 2017. You will have a two block walk to board the Cumberland Queen II on your visit to beautiful Cumberland Island. You will have views of the St. Marys River from your front porch and bedroom 2. The back patio overlooks the History Walking Park. Many restaurants and shops are within walking distance from the cottage.
This townhome has recently been renovated with new appliances and furniture. Each bedroom has a full bath and smart TV. There is a half bath downstairs. Fully stocked kitchen with new appliances and washer and dryer. Dining room accommodates 4-6, also dining on the patio. Large smart TV in living room, free high speed internet. Seating on front porch with river views.
Whether you are visiting to go to Cumberland Island or to enjoy our historic downtown, we welcome you to St. Marys, GA and The Cumberland Queen Cottage.

We loved this property! The host did a wonderful job of having everything we would need for our month long stay ready for us on arrival. We enjoy walking and this location is perfect for that. The property itself was so comfortable, I would highly recommend staying at this lovely home.
This place did not disappoint..the location was absolutely perfect and the pictures do not do it justice..the place was immaculate and the owner was very easy the communicate with..i would give it more stars if i could.
Perfect location, Kind hosts, and comfortable home
My adult children and i headed to our home town to visit family. The location meant we rarely used our car as everything was in walking distance. The place was immaculate and the beds were super comfortable. Check in/out super easy and we felt quite at home. Will definitely be back!
The cottage is even prettier than the pictures and provides everything needed. The location is perfect for sky watching across the street and access to town is a short walk. I hope to return!!
Great location and very well kept house. We had to unplug the 2 plug-in scent diffusers because we're highly sensitive to artificial fragrances. Suggest owner alert guests.
This house was amazing! All the comforts of home while on vacation. Located in downtown St. Mary's, easy walk to all of the shops, restaurants, and waterfront. We will be staying here next time!
Perfect rental to launch your Cumberland Island visit!
We greatly enjoyed staying in Amy's beautiful rental! She fully accommodated us on the busy fourth weekend; early check-in, reserved parking, fireworks view from her deck, and easy walking distance to the C.I. check in and ferry dock!

Beautiful, peaceful place! Got to visit with my military daughter!!
This is my second time at this home. It is an absolute perfect getaway, with easy access to a dock overlooking the river and a very short walk to town. Accommodations are luxurious, clean, and cozy. I hope to return for a Thursday!
This was a mother daughter trip which we do every year with my now 90 year old mother. We found the cottage to be very clean, beautifully decorated and fully stocked with everything we needed down to water bottles in the frig. Beds were comfy and there were lots of towels. The only caveat is that had there been 4 of us one of the beds was quite small, a full I believe and although it smelled wonderful inside the fragrance was a bit strong. The living area was perfect for relaxing in the evenings and the location was within walking distance from the quaint downtown historical district and the ferry. There is a beautiful dock right across the street to enjoy the River view and a great riverside park just down the street. Parking for both vehicles is right in front. I would highly recommend this property!

We love the site scene, and the property was amazing
The first impression is the inviting look of the building.
The inside is very attractive - decorated in a tasteful way, appropriate to the area. The beds, linen, blankets, pillows and bath towels are of nice quality. The pantry was stocked with some basics, such as salt, pepper, sugar, coffee, paper towels, water bottles etc.
The location is convenient to downtown.
The house was perfect. It was super clean and my whole family loved the decor. We'll definitely tell others about this place and hopefully get another chance to stay here.
This cottage was as great as advertised. It was so beautifully decorated and perfectly appointed. We had everything we needed for a delightful stay: fluffy white towels; crisp, clean sheets; well supplied kitchen; several cozy indoor and outdoor spaces for relaxing. The cottage was conveniently located to all that St Mary’s offers and the hosts provided great information on all the restaurants and local happenings. I would definitely stay here again.
We stayed in the Cumberland Queen Cottage for the golf tournament weekend! It was so convenient to the waterfront and restaurants in St.Marys, we walked everywhere. The cottage itself was beautiful and had everything we needed. Especially enjoyed the front and back porch for coffee and reading.
