About this property

The Duke's River House

This small cabin overlooks the Canoochee River in Claxton, Georgia. It is the place to reconnect with your family and nature without the distractions of work. The cabin is for couples, solo adventurers and families. The river is great for kayaking, swimming and fishing. Near Statesboro, Georgia and 50 miles from Savannah.

Great fishing!
Games, hammock, badminton, and DVDs movies are available for your use.
Kayaks, small inflatable rafts, and tubes are available for guest to use.
Closest store/gas station is 10 minutes away. Closest Walmart is 25 miles away (Statesboro, GA).
Wifi: Skyroam hotspot. Do not depend on this for work or school deadlines. 1 GB is given upon check in. Extra can be purchased from the host.
The access roads are not "county maintained". You will travel down 1.5 miles of dirt roads. However, my compact car handles it well. You will find it worth the bumpy ride!
Your vehicle will be dusty on a dry day and muddy on a rainy day. You will not escape with a clean vehicle.
Due to the continual upkeep of the property grounds, guest may see host sometime during their visit.
The cabin is located on the river in the woods. Other than the possibility of other guest in nearby cabins, one would feel they finally found the secluded place they needed. It is most possible during some times of the year, one will not see or hear anyone other than themselves and nature.
There is the small community of Claxton, GA a few miles up the road. This city has everything one may need. There is a grocery store, several Dollar Stores, several fast food restaurants and many gas stations.
Savannah, GA, a favorite tourist spot, is only an hour away. Statesboro, GA, the home of Georgia Southern University, is 30 minutes away
There is no public transportation.
No pets due to allergies.
No firearms or smoking inside.
Water has a strong "sulfur" content. Many guest bring their own drinking water.
The river is unpredictable. If it rises to the point of limit access, you will be contacted and given full refund. Winter months are currently unavailable. Upon request, the host will release winter dates.
This is located in a remote area. It will be just you and nature! This is a narrow river with stumps, therefore, only a "small" boat with a trolling motor can be used. This is also sometimes limited. This river is not adequate for jet ski, motor boat, etc. Also, in late summer the river is so low, kayaking becomes more work than pleasure.
A total of 4 cabins and one yurt are owned by Kimberly. These are located in various locations along the river.

Provided bath linens are one set per guest (one bath towel and one wash cloth).
Cleaning fee has not been charged/transferred to guest. Therefore, guest are expected to leave the cabin as received.
It is a simple life. Guest whom are looking for the "resort" experience will be disappointed. White glove and high maintenance guest will not be satisfied.

Relaxing!
My husband and I stayed here for a weekend. We had a very relaxing stay, just what we were looking for! Also, caught a few fish. This place is well stocked with all your daily essentials. The view of the river is beautiful. The property owner is very responsive and helpful. We hope to visit this cabin again or check out another property from this same owner in the future soon(:

Perfect place to unplug
This is our second time renting this cabin and we just couldn't be happier. I can't think of a better way to unplug than here by the creek with the fishing poles and kayaks. The cabin was clean and the Creek was flowing... can't get better than that.

The perfect getaway
From the drive to the cabin to the experiences of the nature around it, Kimberly’s cabin is a much needed experience to those who need to detach from the outside world for a few days. It’s better than what most fancy hotels have to offer. It feels more like home. I am definitely hoping to come back someday in the future.

Two nighter
We expected it to be rustic but a little junkier than we thought. The inside space was nice and appliances and supplies were great. There just was a lot of junk outside the cabin under the building old grills and stuff that seems like they could’ve been discarded and it would look a lot better. And lots of tree work being done with the downed trees all around so not sure what’s going on with that.
