Location: Big Canoe, Northwest High Country, Georgia, USA (10 miles east of Jasper, Georgia)
Accommodations: Cabin, 4 Bedrooms + Other (See Description), 3.5 Baths (Sleeps 8-11)
Keywords: Mountain Cabin
Located an hour north of Atlanta in the gated mountain community of Big Canoe, this one-of-a-kind rustic log cabin is truly unlike anything you've ever seen.
And now in January and February, you can stay two nights, three nights or four nights: all for the same low price of just $299. That price even includes taxes and cleaning.
The cabin was originally built in Virginia in the mid-1800s and features hand-hewn chestnut logs 26 feet long and over 20 feet wide. In the spring of 2005, the original structure was carefully dismantled, and the logs were tagged and shipped to their new home in north Georgia. Over the next two years the cabin was re-assembled, and a new wing was added on the rear to house a large kitchen and dining area.
A stacked-stone fireplace soaring over 20 feet high greets you as you walk throuhe front door. Overlooking the main room is a loft bedroom (plus a full bath with a clawfoot tub). Kids will love the bunk room on the main floor that features beds hand-made from reclaimed barn timbers.
As you walk from the main cabin on your way to the kitchen, you'll pass by an oversized and inviting window seat that's perfect for an afternoon nap. The flooring and walls in this cozy room are also treasures from the original Virginia cabin. Overhead, timbers and ceiling boards from a second hundred-year-old cabin add to your journey back in time.
Upon entering the kitchen, you'll find all the amenities and conveniences of a contemporary suburban home, with accents such as granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. But there are still reminders of days gone by. The farmhouse table was fashioned from decades-old barn wood and sections of logs that were unused in the cabin re-construction process. Overhead, exposed rafters are yet more remnants from an early settler's cabin. A large screen porch off the kitchen offers you a great place to relax. The custom-built swing is seven feet long and literally large enough to sleep on, flanked by a one-of-a-kind outdoor recliner that affords you a great view of the creek below.
With two more bedrooms and a full bath downstairs, you'll have ample accommodations for up to eight or more.

Though the drive to the property once in Big Canoe is a bit daunting, it was worth every twist and turn. The cabin is spacious, cozy and inviting. While there's no single large area for larger families to gather, the reading nooks and charm are endless. One under stated advantage of this property is its proximity to wonderful hiking trails and nearby waterfalls. Our boys loved the adventures and we loved the relaxation.

We rented this charming cabin 3 years ago for a wedding and liked it so much that we rented it again when another Big Canoe wedding came up. We built a big fire (gas starter & and some wood on the porch), and enjoyed the peace and quiet. Even though the cabin is 150 years old, it has been updated in just the right places to make it comfortable. You can sit by the fire, or enjoy the view from the screened porch, or take advantage of the hiking trail that passes by a short stroll away. We also found that we could use the excellent fitness center for $12/day. Highly recommended.

What an awesome cabin! I joined five great friends from design school (now interior designers) for a weekend retreat and have to say this cabin is the most unique I have seen in all of Big Canoe. The owners have done an amazing job with this place, so much character and attention paid to every detail. We spent our nights cooking in the wonderful kitchen and afterwards chatting it up in front of the roaring fire in the fireplace. The weather was awsome and the foilage was at its peak. We enjoyed lunch at the club, hiking on the trails and boating on late Petit. I would highly recommend Big Canoe and this cabin to anyone looking for a great retreat. Our group is already anticipating a return trip next year.

Our stay in Jay's cabin at was most delightful. Everything was in apple pie order when we arrived. (not a good idea to arrive after dark if you are not VERY familiar with the road) The decor of the cabin is really unique, there is something new to notice each day, The area is extremely peaceful and serene, an ideal spot for a relaxing break from everyday happenings. We enjoyed our meals at the Moutain Grille (recommended by Jay) and the Black Bear Pub, both are at the clubhouse. We ate early so as to avoid driving the curvy roads after dark. The nearby Sharps Vineyards are well worth a visit. We enjoyed a wine tasting and a picnic in their pavillion. The Falls at Amicalola State Park are also another must while in the area.

From the moment we drove into the main gate, we felt as though we had left the worries of the world behind and stepped into God's country. What a breath-taking setting for this absolutely lovely cabin! Our family has camped all over the country. We have traveled through State and US National Parks, seeking the solace of trees and communion with God. As nature-lovers, we were particularly enchanted by this place, and couldn't believe we could find such utter privacy and raw wilderness so conveniently close to civilization and so near to home! And the cabin is a stunner; an unexpected blend of old-world craftsmanship and eccletic antiques with every conceivable modern convenience. Bring your family and friends...you will love this place!

4 GENERATIONS

Our family of four generations had a great time here. We swam, played golf,hiked,and just had quality family time. The highlight of our visit was watching a mother bear and her 3 cubs for 2 hours from the front porch. The cabin has all the modern conveniences you need. You will have to drive about 20 minutes to get out of the development. This is a great retreat if you can make your own entertainment. The owners are on call for any problems. Our TV did not work and they personally delivered a new one within an hour.A very unique experience. Our only big surprise/disappointment - there is no place to sit and enjoy the surroundings- no deck but a very nice screened in porch.There was plenty of room for all nine of us! There is a wonderful kitchen tabke for meals, games and family time. I hope to return for a fall visit!

Our family recently spent the weekend in this unique mix of old and new cabin. We had a great time and it was fun to look at all the antiques and it's loaded with charm. We were also impressed with Jay the owner, he took care of our every need. He even made our golf reservations for us. We would recommend this cabin.

We absolutely loved our stay at the cabin! We were in desperate need for some R&R and this was the perfect place to get it. So quiet and calm. We sat on the screened back porch during a rainstorm and just drank in the calm. We love to cook, and enjoyed the gorgeous modern kitchen - it felt like Tuscany! We enjoyed every little detail, and have already recommended this place to several friends!
