UNIQUE! ONE OF A KIND! No other rental can compare. STEP BACK IN TIME to when trees, for walls, were felled by hand; doorways were lower; floors were made of pine planks, and soothing rain sounded on tin roofs. When you open the door to this homestead you will find furnishings that reflect the 175 years of it's existance; however, every effort has been made to provide today's visitor comfortable, modern amenities in this historic atmosphere. Truly, our visitors will have a DIFFERENT experience!
A stone fireplace in the downstairs bedroom is equipped with gas logs. Imagine watching TV from the high, queen-size bed (step-stool provided) on a chilly evening, with logs flickering in the fireplace! This bedroom has adjoining bath.
Two parlors provide space for both grown-ups and kids to enjoy TV and games, or just wile away a lazy afternoon. Central heat and A/C are provided downstairs; however, (if you desire), a wood-burning stove is in the "great room", along with TV, DVD and game table. The front parlor is excellent for reading, surfing the web, dozing away or roasting marshmallows over a fire in the fireplace.
There are 2 bedrooms upstairs. One has full size bed and a youth bed. The other has queen size. Both are furnished with "common folk" antiques and separate heat/AC controls that are super quiet. Our beds must be experienced to believe - they are sooooo comfortable! A baby crib can be brought in, at no extra charge, if needed.
A complete "eat-in" kitchen has everything needed for comfortable, convenient meals. If you don't see the modern ovens and dishwasher immediately, just open a door, and you'll be surprised!
Families planning reunions find this location ideal because of nostalgia it evokes among the over-fifty crowd. School children love to "explore" the outbuildings (one was once a blacksmith shop, the other a smoke house/corn crib), and learn, first-hand, what these utilitarian building were used for. It's also fun to search for the real Indian arrowhead embedded in one of the logs!
If you are wanting a new and modern facility, this is not for you. If you are handicapped, we apologize that we do not have a ramp over our 3 stone steps. If you are taller than some of our doors, you may have to duck. I'm sorry about this, but we're trying to maintain as much authenticity as possible.
If you wish catering, that can be arranged. (How about a picnic lunch to Brasstown Bald Mountain, the highest point in GA?) Cleaning fee is $45.

Owner's Map of Blairsville
We are GA folks who, 17 years ago, retired to these beautiful mountains because we love the place, people and history of this area. We love sharing what we have learned about our Choestoe District("Land of the Dancing Rabbits"),and hopefully, increasing folks' appreciation for our heritage. We live about 1 mile from Homestead, where we offer guests accessibility to our picnic shelter and fish pond for their family reunions and get-togethers. We are available to answer your questions and assist with planning your trip. If you have special requests, we'll do all we can to make it happen. Just call us! 706-745-5089
