- Minimum stay:3 nights
- Internet:No
- Pets allowed:No
- Wheel chair accessible:Yes
Snuggled away in privacy, this cozy cottage is situated on 7 acres of tranquility and mountain seclusion. Fly Fish, hike, enjoy the cool mountain air and take pictures of gushing water falls on the beautiful Tallulah River.
If you are a biker, take a scenic ride to Hiawassee. If you are a hiker, everything from short hikes to the Appalachian Trail are nearby. How about white water rafting? Tubing? Antiquing!
The open floor plan features a family room with vaulted beamed ceiling which magnifies the spacious room. In addition to the TV, sofa and recliner, there is plenty of room for a queen size futon that converts to a comfortable queen bed. Just a few steps away is a sizeable bath. Enjoy the splendor of a garden tub in the mountain fresh air.
If you are tired of the galley kitchens in vacation homes, you will be pleased to prepare meals in this delightful kitchen that makes cooking a pleasure. Here you will find all new appliances and Aunt Nell's vintage dining room table and dish cabinet that gives one a special feeling of 'home sweet home.'
The touch of luxury is here with real wood floors through out including the living area, bathrooms and bedrooms. Upstairs are two bedrooms. The master has an adjoining bath with brush nickle vanity facuets and separate toliet/shower area. A new 32 inch flat TV is mounted over the queen size bed and there is a deck off the master. Please note, however, there are steps to the master and loft bedrooms. Although they are few in number, they are a little steep.
The guest bedroom is quiet and airy with lots of windows to make a bedroom light and cheery. The prettiest views of the mountain and towering hardwoods can be seen from this room. A huge screened porch runs across the front with a swing similar to Grandma's. The outside has a fire pit and BBQ grille with table.
Just out the door are 7 acres of privacy and down the hill is the Tallulah River which borders a forest service wilderness. There are beautiful hiking trails, waterfalls and great trout fishing year round.
All of this is located minutes from Lake Burton, Tallulah River, Appalachian Trail, Tate City, Persimmon Valley, Persimmon Creek Winery, Helen, Clarksville, Lake Rabun, Lake Seed, La Prades Marina, Moccasin Creek State Park and Black Rock State Park. Don't forget the HIGHLANDS, Dillard,Franklin,and Cherokee are a short day's drive. If you like playing golf in the cool mountain air, there are numerous golf courses in the area.

This was our 2nd time staying at Aunt Nell's Cabin. There are so many good things to say. It is such a nice place to get away and relax and heal your mind. It rained the majority of the time, but still enjoyed our stay, just sitting on the front enclosed porch drinking coffee and listening to the rain on the tin roof. We brought another couple with us and their 1st experience was wonderful also. Mike and Carol are the best to work with. They make the trip,from the start of booking to the end of your stay wonderful, it is more like dealing with old friends. Thank both of you so much, look forward to staying again.

My wife and I just completed our third stay at Mike and Carols wonderfull cabin. I was born and raised in the Adirondack Mountains in northern New York state and have spent a lot of leisure time in north Georgia camping, hiking, fishing etc.in the almost 40 years I have lived here. Several years ago when we decided to find a place in Rabun with a roof over our head instead of another camping trip to the Tullulah River Road we first visited Aunt Nell's and could not have been more pleased to find their property just minutes from where we have camped for years on seven secluded acres. Carol I told you we really needed this trip to heal our minds and spirits from what had been a rough busy year and the stay did exactly that! The fishing was fantastic and even when it rained so hard Friday it was just a great excuse to relax, read, and listen to the rain on the tin roof. My only problem is I am finding it harder to do some of our day long excurtions because I hate giving up the time we could be on the river or at the cabin! We recomend Aunt Nell's to anybody looking to spend a week enjoying slowing down and taking each day one at a time without a hectic agenda that can make some vacations almost as stressful as everyday life. Carol and Mike, you and your cabin ROCK! Tom and Linda, Cumming Ga.Recommended for: Romantic getaway, age 55+, families with young children, sightseeing, adventure seekers, girls getaway, families with teenagers.
Owner response: It is always a pleasure to have nice guest, as Tom and Linda, return to Aunt Nell's Cabin. Thank you for the review and yes, we are receiving lots of reports that fishing is good this year. The road improvements along this part of the Tallulah River are also an asset. It is always good to hear guest report they took time for healing, resting and reflection of the soul and body. A very difficult thing to do at home or in a work enviroment. We look forward to your return.

Our stay at Aunt Nell's cabin was very nice! It was clean and cozy and located just a short drive to everything. The cabin fit our family of four (2 adults 2 teens) comfortably and there was room downstairs for maybe two more people to sleep (Futon in living room + couch and full bath just off the kitchen) The loft just outside the master bedroom door has two twin beds with a nice view of the woods surrounding it and the master bedroom has a queen bed, with flat screen t.v., sink vanity and seperate toilet/shower area. The stackable washer dryer is also in a small alcove in the master bedroom. There is a nice screened front porch with a swing my daughter and I sat in frequently to read, talk or have coffee in the mornings. There is also plenty of room outside for exploring and to gather firewood for a bonfire wich we did two nights and really enjoyed it! The cabin is about ten miles from the town of Clayton so we usually went out hiking, siteseeing, or shopping during the day, picked up anything we needed from Ingles on our way home and got back before dark. We live in tourist laden Central Florida and wanted to get away from all the hussle and bussle of Disney and enjoy the outdoors. This was a great place to do that!Recommended for: Pet owners, families with young children, sightseeing, adventure seekers, families with teenagers.

The cabin is delightful and a made a wonderful home away from home. The setting and location are ideal... private and far enough out to feel like you're "getting away from it all", but not too far from town and other destinations. The paved access is a real plus. Thanks to Carol and Mike for providing such a clean, comfortable, well appointed and charming place to relax and unwind. Looking forward to another stay sometime soon!Recommended for: Romantic getaway, age 55+, families with young children, sightseeing, adventure seekers, girls getaway, families with teenagers.

This cabin has relaxation written all over it. The location of the cabin is perfect, hidden away enough to enjoy some privacy yet close enough to town. What a delight it was to watch the lightning bugs from the top balcony at dusk and to sit in the swing in the screened porch and listen to the chirping of the birds as the sun comes up in the mornings. I will recommend this cabin to all my friends. My husband and I had a wonderful stay and will definitely be back for another visit in the future.Recommended for: Romantic getaway, age 55+, families with young children, sightseeing, adventure seekers, girls getaway, families with teenagers.

Wow!! This part of the N Georgia has a very sentimental place in my heart. I've trout fished from N Georgia to Alaska and my favorite is and will always be the Tallulah. The accomadations were first class and we will return. Don't think there was a better place to spend our 28th Anniversary. Fishing was great!Recommended for: Romantic getaway.

We arrived Friday for a getaway weekend with some friends and had the best time! Carol, the cabin is beautiful and so comfortable...the wood interior, the terraine, the atmosphere...made for a pleasant weekend. Everything we needed was there (cookware, bakeware, linens, etc.), the fishing was awsome and the time spent around the campfire will be remembered always. When Sunday came and we awoke to the light rain, it was so so nice sitting on the screened in back porch with our coffee listening to the rain on the tin roof. We will definitely be back and just want to thank you soooo much for everything ;-) The Russell's and Royster'sRecommended for: Romantic getaway, girls getaway, families with teenagers.
Owner response: Thank you, Melissa. So happy you found everything you needed in the cabin and am particularly thrilled you caught fish. We look forward to your return.

very well maintained, well furnished cabin in peaceful setting. Good access to nearby attractions such as Tallulah River(approx.1-2 miles) for fishing, Helen(25 miles for touring, tubing, ect) and plenty of State parks, and other amenities. Mike and Carol provide excellent instructions on how everything works and everything was in good condition. Would recommend for all ages. Stairs are steep to upstairs bedroom.Recommended for: Romantic getaway, age 55+, families with young children, sightseeing, adventure seekers, families with teenagers.

Well, this is our third stay at Aunt Nell's and each time it gets harder and harder to leave. If you look at some of the other reviews, it is easy to tell this cabin offers something special for everyone, no matter where your interests lie. Fishing, hiking, sightseeing-it is all within easy reach. If you enjoy sitting on a porch swing and watching the hummingbirds coming to the feeder, or seeing the fireflies rise up out of the forest in the evenings, then this is the place. We spent three wonderful days here in the peace and solitude, and were able to leave refreshed and rejuvenated; hopefully to return again soon! Thanks again, Carol & Mike, for everything!Recommended for: Romantic getaway, age 55+, families with young children, sightseeing, adventure seekers, families with teenagers.

My wife and I recently visited Aunt Nell's cabin for our 46th anniversary and it was wonderful. The cabin was just as described, only better. Our stay was for 5 nights and it was so relaxing, especially listening to the rain on the tin roof. It is convenient to everything, including good restaurants. Would recomend the Dillard House, Meg's, and Cupboard Cafe(above Dillard). I also took my wife trout fishing for her first time. Must have taught her well, she caught more than I did. We will definately be returning soon. Thanks for everything Carol.Recommended for: Romantic getaway, age 55+, families with young children, sightseeing, adventure seekers, families with teenagers.

Location
Owner info
Year Purchased: 2005
About the owner: Michael and Carol Williams, reside in Peachtree City, Georgia. In spite of our many travels through out the world, one of our favorite areas is the Northeast Mountains of North Georgia. Our cabin is located .5 mile from the Tallulah River and is truly one of the most beautiful locations we have ever visited. Aunt Nell's cabin is named after my Aunt Nell and it houses some of her most treasured furniture. One is surrounded by Mother Nature and beauty there and it is the place to go to get out of the 'Rat Race' of a busy workig enviroment. Mike is retired now and I am still flying as a flight attendant for Delta.
Why the Owner Chose Clayton:
We Purchased Aunt Nell's Cabin for it's serene atmosphere and for it's cool crisp nights during the summer heat. Fall is a sea of crystal warm colors and spring sports the blooms of mountain laurel hovering over the rush of water falls on the river. The ride along the River displaying its clear water of trout and waterfalls is a must.
The Unique Benefits at this Cabin:
Aunt Nell's Cabin sits on 7 areas whereas you can hike, fly fish or simply relax on the deck with your favorite book. The location is perfect for day trips to other areas without having to rent other hotel rooms. It's cozy decor gives you the sense of home if you wish to stay home and enjoy TV or make your favorite meal. There are two bath rooms. One on the upper deck and one on the lower level for your conovenience. Both are full baths and one has a lovely garden tub to pamper yourelf after a full day of hiking.
