The Garden Folly Guest House
Our architect said, “this is NOT a garage, it’s a Garden Folly!” Our Guest House has a bird’s eye view of the rose covered pecan tree and a vista of the marsh and the Wappoo Creek.

We decided it was just the kind of property we enjoy when we travel, so, Voila! we decided to share it with you!
