Enchanting little Inn!!!

Why stay in yet another cookie-cutter hotel when the Water’s Edge Inn is available? It’s a charming little venue hidden away amongst the flora and fauna of Folly. (Even friends who are natives didn’t know it was there.) We fell in love with it.

We are booking again next year and can’t wait to return!

This was not our 1st visit to Folly but it was the first time to stay at Water’s Edge. It was absolutely lovely. The ladies who were at the front during happy hour and breakfast were so friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. We enjoyed talking with the other guest during happy hour and breakfast. The rooms are very cozy with fireplaces and everything you need to enjoy your stay.

Would definitely recommend and will be back.

Easy check-in, helpful staff. Very cozy, homey and quiet. Much better than a hotel room. Very clean. Enjoyed drinking coffee and eating breakfast on the screened porch each morning.

Loved it again!

I truly appreciate the warm and inviting feeling that I had during my stay. From checking in, to checking out, one feels that you are their only customer. The two night stay is exactly what my wife and needed.
