About this property
A Hiker's Paradise - Secluded Cabin on Small, Rushing Stream Near A/T Access
Hiking enthusiast! This is a private and secluded two story cabin with a loud, rushing stream and not a soul in sight. It is the perfect place to relax, unwind, or if you like, start or end your hike. Less than two miles by car to Dick's Creek A/T access. If you would rather...you can take an easy 2 mile hike up the private National Forest Road in front of the cabin and then go approximately an additional 1 mile moderate hike which will bring you to Tom Cowart Gap on the A/T. Not a hiker, well just take a quiet stroll through the park like setting along the tree canopied path with 200 ft of rushing stream bordered by National Forest along the back of property. Complete seclusion! There is a fire pit, swing and benches there for your enjoyment. It's the perfect place to just sit and relax. With two porches and an upstairs screened balcony, you never have to leave the comfort of the cabin to enjoy the sights and sounds of the stream below. The three upstairs bedrooms (one with it's own private, screened balcony) each have queen beds for your comfort. All are equipped with ceiling fans, alarm /sound machines. The cabin has two full baths (one upstairs and a smaller full bath downstairs). There is a large family room with a glass fronted wood stove and large screen Smart TV with Roku device and a separate living area with TV off the dining area. Wifi, Direct TV and telephone with free long distance are also included. The cabin has a rec /laundry room with a TV with Roku or for videos or video games (you must bring) and plenty of games and puzzles for those rainy days or family night. If you just need a home base, this is the perfect place. The cabin is centrally located to many of North Georgia's prime locations....The Georgia Mountain Fair Grounds (approx. 9 miles,) Lake Chatuge and Lake Burton (approx. 7 miles). Clayton, Blairsville, and Helen are all within 20 miles of the cabin. Hightower Winery is 1/2 mile away, A/T trail head 1 1/2 to 2 miles by car. Completely furnished with everything you'll need to enjoy the quiet seclusion of this mountain retreat. Come stay a week or a long weekend...you will never want to leave.

I went with my gut on this one and it was the best choice ever - the host was extremely polite and easy to communicate with everything is as stated-the home is beautiful and very cozy. We took our kids hiking to four different places and on the last day we were lucky enough to see snow. I would definitely stay here again.

I am so happy you enjoyed your stay and thank you for the kind review. Please come back anytime.
This was the absolute best place I've ever rented. The pictures definitely don't do it justice. It is so peaceful and clean. I hope to come back many times. Nancy was an amazing host and has curated the most wonderful cabin. There are so many precious details throughout the whole property. You can tell it is loved well. It was good for my soul. Thank you Nancy!
We always love coming to Mr.Beautifuls favorite place in the mountains! Nancy has a wonderful place here and is always special to stay at. We love going there!
Beautiful cabin, well maintained, excellent location and hostess very responsive in a timely manner. Hope to return soon with the grandchildren. The creek was awesome and the trails were fun. Small towns near by were interesting providing some shopping and eating out but honestly we really didn't want to leave the cabin! Excellent choice for getting away from it all for a few days.

We had a great week staying here. Isolation in woods with nearby stream was great for family. Property was clean and comfortable. Nice home base for many of the local attractions and sights.

Thank you Katie for your great review and rebooking. We love having your family as you always leave it very tidy upon departure.
Property was extremely clean. We were away from the entire world for a week and the rushing creek made it heaven. I can't wait to return.

About the host
Hosted by Nancy J Wilson
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.
