Cumberland Queen Cottage

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.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2.5 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

This was our second stay at this property. The cottage is extremely clean and is so cozy. It has all of the comforts of home. St Mary’s is becoming our favorite place to visit.

The home itself was absolutely beautiful—clean, well-decorated, and exactly as pictured. We truly enjoyed the space and the overall comfort during our stay.Unfortunately, our experience with the host significantly impacted our visit. Communication was difficult and, at times, felt intrusive. The property has a Ring doorbell camera, which we understand is common for security, but it seemed to be used to closely monitor our comings and goings. When our adult children stopped by to visit (they were not staying overnight), the host immediately sent an invoice for additional guests without reaching out to ask for clarification or discuss the situation.This approach felt more accusatory than hospitable and left us feeling uncomfortable and, honestly, a bit harassed during our stay. Clear and respectful communication would have made a big difference.While the home itself is lovely, I would encourage future guests to carefully review the host’s policies and be aware of how strictly they may be enforced.

The beautifully decorated cottage was conveniently located and the views were spectacular. The kitchen was well stocked for eating in, and the beds were very comfortable. We enjoyed breakfast on the front porch and dinner on the back deck. The dock across the street and the walkability to St. Mary’s was a plus.
