About this property

Mill house offers comfort, and charm

Attention Florida evacuates unfortunately we are booked until 1 November. Green Shutters Cottage, 495 Habersham Mill Rd., Demorest, 30535. This 1947 mill house is cozy, charming and offers comfort. Many a guest have remarked that it’s like going to visit grandma. However, the house is fully equipped; a fully equipped kitchen, washer, and dryer Wi-Fi, 25, MG, 32” Sony TV with basic cable. There is a cozy front porch and a larger side porch in which to take in views of the mountains and a breeze. It’s a perfect spot for meals, grilling or just having morning coffee. This is a standalone property with ample space to walk your dog and plenty of parking. This is perfect lodging for parents wanting to visit Piedmont University. Clarkesville is 4 miles away as is a Cornelia Georgia with plenty of antiquing and dining opportunities. Bavarian Helen is a short 20 minute drive. There’s plenty of hiking opportunities close by. In 2024 the front yard will become a cut flower farm.

Great location! Great price! Great host!

We were visiting family for Thanksgiving and needed our own spot to come back to. This place is in a great location near several north Georgia towns. Check-in and checkout process was very easy, and we had great communication with Brooks. This was exactly what we were looking for for this trip. Very reasonably priced, too!

About the host

Hosted by Brooks Garcia

Host profile image
I am a native of Atlanta that has always been a country boy trapped in a city boy's body. Now, I have my chance to live my dream. I bought Sole Farm in 2013, 24 acres of magnificent rolling hills dotting with ancient Oaks with stunning views in foothills of the Blue ridge mountains. I built my dream house, a Tuscan villa, call Villa del Sole. It was finished in 2016. Green Shutters Cottage was the original 1947 mill house that was existing on the property where the Masters family lived for almost 60 years and farmed the land. The property is in conservation easement and will remain a farm for the duration of my life. I have begun to farm the land but in a different way. A hoop house/high tunnel has been added to grow seasonal organically grown vegetables..

Why they chose this property

Magnificent property tucked away off the road with stunning views and land!

What makes this property unique

Relaxed small town country feel with amenities. Everything you need is close by.
