The Senator’s cabin on Jubilee Orchards was everything we expected it to be. The 1824 cabin takes you back and really makes you think of who came before us. The grounds were peaceful and private. One of our favorite things was taking a long walk around the big pond, seeing tons of butterflies, birds, and the Asian pear orchard. The owners have signs to direct you around the loop which was most helpful. We had one issue with the a/c but it was corrected by the time we came back from dinner. Hosts are very nice and responsive.

The Senator's Cabin is remarkable in its preservation, providing a wonderful sense of history. The Governor's cabin, directly next door, looks equally genuine in its restoration. In between the two cabins is a large fire pit. Surrounding them is plenty of space for dogs and kids to run free. While we didn't realize the master bed is located in the "living room," it was actually a wonderful perspective. We felt comfortable and secure, lying at night under the high cabin ceiling gazing at beautiful, authentic wood work, imagining the Lawton's with the same perspective, nearly a century ago.

We had an absolutely amazing stay at Jubilee. The property was amazing. It was great to be able to hike, sit in the porch with coffee in the morning and enjoy nature & chill around the fire pit at night. My dog loves the stay as well. The cabin is clean, cozy & well maintained. We really enjoyed the Blueberry jam that was gifted with our stay. Delicious. We look forward to coming back and bringing family for a weekend to unplug. We returned refreshed & relaxed. Amazing stay. Thank you Chiles family for opening up your cabins for us to enjoy

We loved staying at the Senator cabin. The farm is very peaceful, with lots of wildlife, interesting plants and history. The cabin and surrounding grounds are beautiful, and the cabin itself is a work of art that is very comfortable.

The cabin was an amazing place for my family to spend the weekend. The cabin and property were exactly what is described. The photos don’t do this place justice. Lawton was an excellent host. Very quick to reply. The owners of the property were one the kindest most accommodating couples we’ve had the pleasure of meeting in all our years of staying in airbnbs. Very happy with our stay!

We had a wonderful stay at The Senator. The cabin is so rustic and charming. You are surrounded by nature. The location is perfect if you are looking to visit Thomasville, GA, or Tallahassee. We would definitely stay here again!

Very therapeutic spot, no issues and very nice cabin, great get away if you want to be far from the constant flow of work/city life, the rain and thunderstorms added a nice touch to the cabin and sleep, a great recharge and the food options in town were great as well, would recommend if you want to get away and out your electronics/phones down for awhile.

We absolutely enjoyed every minute at the historic cabin. It retains so much of its historical charm while still providing a comfortable stay with all of the modern amenities you need. The beds and linens were comfortable and the bathroom shower and tub even felt luxurious. We spent some time exploring the property and it is just beautiful. Takes you back to old world Florida. We 100% want to come back in the fall or winter.

It's not a cabin...it's a museum!! Three words can describe our stay…A-MA-ZING!! Where the 19th century meets the 21st century! This amazing cabin is so cozy and comfortable with AC and WiFi but…you are staying in a cabin built in 1827!! It was incredible!! We slept so good and the bathroom was so nice!! The balance of old and new made this stay so memorable. The hosts were so nice and the property is so clean with so much acreage to explore!! We will be back!!

Historic gem. Wow! This was an amazing experience. The history alone makes it special. When we arrived, the hosts has the light on and the fireplace going. The hosts were concerned about our comfort due to cold weather which was very thoughtful. Comfortable, spacious, and unique. Highly recommend. We will be back.
