A little forest hideaway. We loved the porches, and lake cabin feel of this property. There were many thoughtful touches including a game cashe (in the wardrobe), bookcase, and even a piano. The antique touches madebus feel like we were going to grandma's canin. We loved it!

It was a lovely stay! The cabin was so gorgeous and beautifully decorated, I kept finding little marvels everywhere. Check-in was easy and we were provided perfect instructions, absolutely no problems at all. It felt so secluded but also super close to the nearest town. The kitchen had everything needed. The DVD collection was absolutely fantastic, major props for Princess Mononoke and Spirited Away! I couldn’t be happier with the amenities and beauty of our stay.

Perfect cabin in the woods

This was the ideal home for a quick weekend getaway in the mountains. It was so peaceful and comfortable. We loved the screened in porch and watching our little “mountain munchkins” explore. It was a great place to take a family of all ages. We hope to visit again soon.

The house is my parents’, they fell in love with the N Georgia mountains and decided to put down roots years ago.

What makes this property unique

You feel like you’ve gone back in time when you enter the antiques-filled cabin, it’s like an English country cottage. It’s such a great place to unplug and unwind.
