The French Secret for a perfect romantic getaway

Have you ever dreamed of going to Paris? The French Secret is your little Paris getaway, hidden in North Georgia. A romantic place that your will always remember. Everything has been designed to create a romantic atmosphere, the King Louis XVI style bed, the chandelier shining at the top of the ceiling, the mirrors in the bedroom and the bathroom to remind you the beauty of the hall of mirrors of the palace of Versailles, the pictures on the wall of multiple romantic sceneries of Paris,...
The French Secret is a 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom romantic cottage. The place offers a kitchen and a dining area. In addition, you can enjoy the bistro table on the front porch. Finally, there is a nice set up by the small creek with a charcoal grill, a gas fire pit and a couple hammock. The bathroom provides a 2 persons bathtub. And you can even enjoy the outdoor shower!
Romance at its finest...

We had a wonderful time staying here! The seclusion and time spent away from the tv/telephones was much needed. Unfortunately it rained during our trip so we were not able to make our way down to the fire pit, however, that gave us the chance to stay in and listen to the rain hit the roof and enjoy the inside scenery! It really helped us not think of anything except relax and decompress and enjoy ourselves.

This was the most beautiful weekend getaway. My boyfriend and I ever had. Everything was so lovingly prepared and thought through. This is the best place for a couple in love to really focus on each other. If you come here to enjoy intimacy, love and peace. This is the place to come to.

Phenomenal property!

I found the French Connection while searching for a place to get away for a "mental health retreat" and it did not disappoint at all!! The peace and solitude it offered was exactly what I needed! I returned to my business refreshed and revived!! Will book again....as soon as I can get away again!! Thank you sooooo much!

Wonderful Getaway

This was a delightful escape, just over an hour from Atlanta. The journey showcases stunning mountain views and leads you through the charming town of Blue Ridge, GA, where you'll find a variety of quaint shops, local artisans, eateries, and a central square. The property is nestled in a serene natural environment along a quiet, small community road within the woodlands. The rental exudes charm, romance, and French style, adorned with thoughtful details such as antique chandeliers, a clawfoot soaking tub, a fully equipped kitchenette, and a bistro table laid with china for two. Spotlessly clean, cozy, and distinctive - this location is perfect for a romantic retreat or for a writer seeking an inspiring natural setting with a European vibe. An added bonus was the host's exceptional responsiveness and warmth. It truly is a hidden gem! I look forward to returning in the fall to experience the breathtaking scenery foliage.

What an absolute DREAM! If you're even considering booking this cabin, just do it! You will not be disappointed. Park at the top and follow the lovely string lights along a path that leads to the cabin. Outside you can enjoy the lock tree, an outdoor shower, fire pit and hammock by the creek. Inside, breathtaking! I couldn't get over the beautiful handmade bed, chandeliers and the clawfoot tub! They even had romantic french music playing! We just left yesterday and I can't wait to go back!
