Absolutely Magical!

Can’t say enough about this place! Great location. Everything you can need in the kitchen. The playroom was perfect for game nights. And the creek. Can’t say enough about the creek! Our whole family spent hours in the creek collecting beautiful rocks and splashing around. We could have spent a month here! If there was a place we would ever return - this would be it! Thanks for a wonderful week. It went by way too fast!

Our second stay

This was our second time and we enjoyed it just as much as the first time. Our kids love to play in the creek and explore. It is very relaxing and quiet and clean…perfect for a relaxing getaway. One afternoon we got home and the air conditioning wasn’t working. I called Nancy and she has someone out to fix it within a couple of hours. She is always welcoming and very responsive.

Peaceful, excellent location

We just loved our stay here! The location was great, secluded but not far from town. We absolutely loved playing in the creek and the canopy of the trees. Great place for the kids, as they loved playing in the creek and having the ‘game room’ to themselves to hangout. Owner was very nice and responsive, would definitely stay here again!

What a wonderful get-a-way week!

We have a wonderful time celebrating our anniversary week with lots of different hiking options in the local area and a beautiful setting to just relax, read and enjoy and sound of the stream rushing by while sitting on the deck. This place is wonderful if you are looking for a secluded place without being too remote. Can't wait to come back soon!

Amazing family retreat. We already want to go back!

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful home in northern Georgia. Nestled next to a peaceful creek and surrounded by nature, it was the perfect retreat for our family. The location is ideal—close to stunning state parks and waterfalls, making it easy to explore the wilderness. If you’re looking for great food, nearby Clayton and Helen have fantastic dining options.That said, some of our favorite moments were simply spent at the house—relaxing on the porch, listening to the creek, birds, and rustling leaves. It was pure tranquility, especially sharing those quiet moments with our 6- and 2-year-old daughters. Whether you’re up for adventure or just want to unwind, this home is a gem. The house is extremely well-kept. We’re so happy that the owner Nancy is willing to share her second home with us. We can’t wait to return!

We booked for our winter girls trip and couldn’t have been happier with our beautiful accommodations. We were seeking quiet, privacy, & comfortable accommodations and this place exceeded all of our expectations. The host was lovely as was the home. We are already planning when we can return! This was the perfect spot for hiking, serenity, and recharging. The home is wonderfully equipped for every need.

Almost heaven

The house comfortably accommodated my wife and 3 children under 5 for the past week. But the real jewel of our week was the beautiful property that the house is on. Everything from the hiking around the house to the beautiful creek that is a short walk away from the house and you can hear from the porches, this was the most amazing week we have had as a family! We cannot wait to go back!

Great family long weekend get away

This was as advertised and better. The sound of the rushing mountain creek was easily heard from the cabin. That, along with the wooded surroundings made this a very relaxing and peaceful visit. Dealing with the owner was a top notch experience. She even called us after we checked in to make sure everything was ok. The only downside was, we eventually had to leave, but we certainly plan to be back as soon as possible.

About the host

Hosted by Nancy J Wilson

Host profile image
My late husband and I had been coming to the Appalachian Mountain areas for more than 40 years and were so lucky to have found this piece of paradise to purchase for our own use.

Why they chose this property

I love the North Georgia Mountain area.... the people, the scenery and there is always something to see or do.

What makes this property unique

The peaceful, quiet woods with no visible house in sight. The sound of the stream is so relaxing. Several places to "escape" from the crowd.
