Cindy W. Dec 2, 2024 11:49:38 AM
Summary: This house was an absolute dream for me!! I love history and this home is packed with TONS of it!! The owners are on site, which typically would be a negative for me. But they are so kind and gracious it was like visiting with old friends! We celebrated Thanksgiving with our family there. It was the absolute best experience I could’ve wished for!! The home is immaculately kept and the owners are genuinely concerned about making sure your stay is a wonderful one!! Ours was!! Nothing was overlooked. And driving around in the ModelA was so awesome!! I can’t wait to go back!!

Summary: Like a trip back in time we enjoyed learning about the history of the area and the house. Rebecca and Keegan were wonderful hosts on this journey. Good restaurants and ferry to Cumberland Island close by. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. This is by far the best stocked house we have stayed in through VRBO.

david m. Apr 13, 2023 10:22:20 PM
Summary: We have stayed in a number of VRBO homes throughout the years and I can tell you that this was the best of them all. From the beautiful house itself to the tour provided by Mr. Federal, this is definitely a place worth staying. The Host has thought of everything to make the stay the most comfortable and enjoyable experience. We can't wait to stay here again!
Rodney M. Mar 26, 2023 10:02:24 PM
Summary: Outstanding house and wonderful hosts. Beautifully appointed and well stocked. Great for history buffs and those looking for a quiet get a way. We stayed for 2 nights on our way further south for Spring Break with our 2 college aged kids and we all wished we would have stayed longer. Our daughter who is a music lover and Hamilton fan thought it was a treat to stay in the same room Aaron Burr once hid out in. Our son enjoyed the military history aspects and we all enjoyed the easy walks into town. Even our dog got in on the action playing with Fritz, the Federal's pup! The highlight though had to be our conversations with the Federals. They are wonderful hosts with great stories and very interesting backgrounds. Can't recommend this unique place more highly. Just stay for more than a couple of nights!
Caroline L. Mar 10, 2023 11:22:48 PM
Summary: Our family rented The Federal Quarters for our eight year old daughter’s spring break, and we all had the most amazing time. Keegan and Rebecca are the most incredible hosts! They are friendly and helpful and so kind to all of us (especially to our daughter). Keegan and Rebecca have thought about everything that you would need for your visit and even things that you can’t even imagine that you would need. Every detail was perfect. We loved the history of the house and the location (which is short walk to the Cumberland Island Ferry). The beds were so comfortable and relaxing, so we all slept very well at night. There was not one thing that we would change! We were so sad to leave and look forward to visiting again very soon. This vacation was our best one ever!
Kimberly C. Jan 3, 2023 05:32:31 AM
Summary: The history of the house was so interesting. Cute little town. Beds were super comfortable. Our family was amazed by all the southern hospitality! Since we were celebrating Christmas, the house was filled with decorations that included stockings for all. Good time had by all including our many visitors.
