The Cherokee of Bison View – Has an absolutely unbelievable view and one of the most spectacular views of any cabin in the Appalachian Mountains. Newly built, the historical style of architecture is reminiscent of the late 1800's when steam powered sawmills revolutionized home construction.
The Cherokee is nestled atop a former Cherokee Indian camp deep in the rugged back country. The cabin is located near Helen, Georgia, and is surrounded by some of the finest state parks and easy-to-reach waterfalls with ample hiking trails starting right at the front door, including the Appalachian Trail.
Horseback riding is now available at the adjacent Bison View Lodge. Guided tours will take you back to a time when horseback was a way of life.
Have you even wanted to book a cabin with the following? Hot Tub, Pool Table, Two Hi-def TV's with Blu-Ray DVD, surround sound and outside Audio with an iPod connection for your own personal music. Unbelievable View, Outdoor Fire Pit, Chef’s Kitchen, High End bedding and linens for the best night’s sleep ever, Hunting and Fishing, Golfing and Catered Meals.
The Cherokee sits on 4 acres overlooking Anna Ruby Falls Gorge and Unicoi state park and has Mt. Yonah as a back drop. You can see about 40 miles from the cabin. The cabin is three and one half miles up a forestry service road off Hwy 75.
However, it sits on top of Tray Mountain and is surrounded by 55,000 acres of national forest. Very Secluded!!! Very little traffic but what traffic does pass cannot see the cabin from the road. The cabin is less than 3 miles from the Appalachian Trail.
The Tray Mountain area includes unique sites such as the incomparable Ramp Cove, with the finest stand of giant buckeyes in Georgia and a wildflower paradise. Exciting boulder fields are common here just under the Appalachian Trail and off the Kelly Ridge. The Kelly Ridge spur provides a superb hike similar to the great Duncan Ridge in the Blood Mountain area.
The huge rock outcrop at the Mill Creek Roughs is worth exploring. Tray Mountain itself, with its superlative boulder field, is one of the major overlooks in the Georgia Blue Ridge. The southern part of this area is 9,702-acre Tray Mountain Wilderness.
Swallow Creek – The northern portion of the Tray Mountain area is largely the watershed of Swallow Creek. While not designated wilderness, much of this area is wild and primitive. It has two outstanding high ridges-The Blue Ridge (from Dick’s Gap to Kelly Knob-4,276 feet) and the Kelly Ridge. The walk along both is easy, and the scenery is rewarding.
The Cherokee Cabin – is only 3.7 miles from downtown Helen. Helen is located in the Blue Ridge Mountains on the Chattahoochee River, and is a rare re-creation of an alpine village complete with cobblestone alleys and old-world towers. The Northeast Georgia village has a rich history linked to the Cherokee Indians and Indian burial mounds as well as early settlers who arrived to mine for gold and cut virgin timber for a thriving lumber industry in the early 1900’s.
Have you ever wanted to experience a weekend away from computers, telephones, traffic? Well search no further. The Cherokee Cabin will accommodate all your needs. Women can shop, experience Mandela Wellness Retreat (Day Spa), men can hunt, fish, sit by the outdoor fire pit and relax, and children can play and enjoy nature.
Hiking trails are plentiful, throw up a tent and spend the night. This is the perfect place for a retreat. Catering is available, Weddings can be planned and yes the roads are in excellent shape. All this privacy and nature is only a rock’s throw away from downtown Helen.
