Talking leaves is a Cherokee Indian term for the observed written communication between the first settlers to Northern Georgia. Not understanding the concept of written communications before then, the Cherokees called the pieces of paper passed along by settlers “talking leaves”. However, after a few minutes rocking on the porch of Talking Leaves Cabin, one would easily identify the double entendre of the cabin’s name. The leaves surrounding the cabin rustle prior to the breeze reaching you, as if “talking” to you letting you know of the approaching breeze.
The Cabin is in a mountain country setting surrounded by nature and trees. It is away from the hustle and bustle of the city. While driving down the road to the cabin you feel like you are going into another world. So leave your worries behind. The Cabin was built in 2002 and is located on a mountain ridge. The long range breath-taking layered mountain views and the beautiful sunsets that can be seen from the back balcony of the cabin are spectacular. Memories are made here.

My older sister, my daughter, granddaughter and myself were here this past weekend and enjoyed ourselves immensely. We went for a w/e getaway and your cabin was a great place to do this. The cabin and all it's amenities went way beyond expectations. I plan on returning very soon!! Thank you to the owners for making your cabin feel like home! Last, but not least....one of the cleanest places I have ever rented!Recommended for: Girls getaway, pet owners, families with young children, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway.

The description, reviews, and pictures do not do this cabin and the views justice. It feels remote, but is convenient. The sunsets are beautiful. The Trask's have really thought of everything- and then some. The cabin is very comfortable, well-decorated, and even had fall-themed decorations up when we arrived (wife really enjoyed). There are many modern amenities. Plan to enjoy the offerings of the area, but also plan more time to just relax around the cabin. Prior to our arrival, the owner was even thoughtful enough to call and warn us about rough weather predicted for the area. Fortunately, all went well and we were still able to do a great deal. I can't say a bad thing about the experience or the cabin. This is a great area to visit and TLC is the place to stay while in Blue Ridge! Thank you.Recommended for: Girls getaway, pet owners, people with disabilities, families with young children, sightseeing, age 55+, families with teenagers, adventure seekers, romantic getaway.

This was our first time renting a cabin and we were very surprised to find it had so many comfortable ammenities. The owners thought of everything and it was extremely clean and inviting. The view goes on forever from the huge porches. Unfortunately the fall leaves had not changed yet but the sunsets were still beautiful. We had a wonderful week and enjoyed taking trips into Blue Ridge, Helen, and other nearby towns. Thank you for sharing your mountaintop cabin.

Aside from indoor plumbing and modern appliances, the Trasks thoughtfully provided EVERYTHING that made our stay an over the top experience. Their cozy, comfortable, and clean HOME (and I do emphasize HOME) away from home made us regret that our vacation couldn't be extended. Here to celebrate Maman's 92nd birthday, we three stayed three nights and took wonderful day excursions. We indulged ourselves with these activities: train ride on the Blue Ridge Scenic Railway, hard cider tasting at Mercier Orchards, picturesque drive down Highway 60 through Suches, GA and Chattahoochee National Forest, sightseeing/shopping in Blue Ridge, McCaysville, Coppertown, Dahlonega, and Elijay, and, best of all, re-visiting Amicalola Falls State Park (all of them just a hop, skip, and a jump from the cabin). And the relaxing time that we spent on the decks enjoying the view of the mountains was priceless! Booking couldn't have been easier; the owners update their website regularly and are extremely prompt with answering any questions/concerns you may have. In short, we want to thank the Trasks and their wonderful housekeeper for making us feel most welcome and helping us make many more happy memories. We look forward to our next visit.

The cabin is actually better than described - peaceful, quite but centrally located for day trips. Just about everything one needs and my regret is I was not able to enjoy all the amenities. The view off the upper deck is worth the stay by itself. All the meals were outside. Lois and Larry were great and our dogs had a blastRecommended for: Girls getaway, pet owners, sightseeing, age 55+, adventure seekers, romantic getaway.

We had a great time in your very nice cabin. We came too prepared and the cabin really had everything we needed! Our only regret is we had too many activities planned away from your cabin and did not get to enjoy it more! Thanks for the hospitality!Recommended for: Families with young children, sightseeing, adventure seekers, romantic getaway.

We had an awesome experience! These owners have created a home-away-from-home for their guests. We've told all of our friends that they have to rent this cabin. Each room has a distinct character...a lot of pride comes through. We went to Amicalola Falls, horseback riding in Copper Hill, Mercier Orchards for fresh fruit pies, and the Swan Drive-In Theater for 'The Amazing Spider Man'. Next time, we'll go whitewater rafting and to Asheville for a day trip. This cabin has the best of the best for couples or small families looking for a great mountain getaway. Thank you for the views, the hummingbird feeder, the hot tub on the deck, the washer and dryer, and every other detail that made our trip special!Recommended for: Girls getaway, pet owners, families with young children, sightseeing, age 55+, families with teenagers, adventure seekers, romantic getaway.

My husband and I have done a lot of vacationing through VRBO over the years. We have never talked about staying in a place more than one time because we like a new adventure each time. This was our second time staying in the Blue Ridge area within a year or so - and I can say we won't have to shop around for another cabin in this area again - Talking Leaves is our new Blue Ridge home. This cabin was comfy, and perfect for our family. The porches were worth the mere $90, all by themselves. We had such a good time cooking out, and hanging out at the hot tub, we did not feel a need to even leave. The views were incredible! We had a lot of rain while we were there, and that was even better because the views of the foggy mist covered mountains made it an even more cozy time. I could have moved in by the end of the week. I even think that I was a little homesick after we left. Now that we have seen the cabin in the summer, we are already talking about going back during another season just to see the difference in the views! I almost hate to write this review - I might talk someone into going and staying in "my" new home away from home!Recommended for: Families with young children, sightseeing, age 55+, families with teenagers, adventure seekers, romantic getaway.

We stayed here for 3 days over Thanksgiving with our two daughters and 3 dogs. We travel frequently and have NEVER found a more beautiful, clean, cozy and fully equipped cabin! You literally did not need anything but a few groceries, which we purchased in town, about 10 minutes away! The cabin has spectacular mountain views and we hiked alot while there. Took a ton of pictures. The owners have thought of everything with this cabin, really. There was everything from a trunk full of games, dozens and dozens of movies (even an xbox with games) to spices for cooking, all the way down to big, fluffy towels provided for the hot tub! 3 flat screen tvs, a gorgeous fireplace, very modern and comfortably furnishings. And VERY clean. We cannot wait to come back! And even though you have awesome seclusion, we drove 10-15 mins into town and found everything else you could need.. ie, walmart, bealls, Ruby Tuesdays! But, at the cabin.. you and nature are one. We are already planning our trip there next fall or maybe winter to see snow!Recommended for: Girls getaway, pet owners, people with disabilities, families with young children, sightseeing, age 55+, families with teenagers, adventure seekers, romantic getaway.

Owner info
Year Purchased: 2007
About the owner: After a vacation week in Blue Ridge, we fell in love with the area. Within 7 months we had found and purchased our cabin. We plan to retire to the area within the next 10 years. Right now we live in FL and enjoy getting away to the mountains as often as possible.
Why the Owner Chose Blue Ridge:
The long range breath-taking layered mountain views and the beautiful sunsets that can be seen from the back balcony of the cabin. The location is far enough away but convenient to the stores, grocery, and restaurants. So, that one can get the necessities that one needs to have. The general friendliness of the residents of the town of Blue Ridge.
The Unique Benefits at this Cabin:
The peaceful serenity of nature. The many animals that have been see near the cabin such as Deer, Fox, Wild Turkeys, Raccoons, Humming birds, and an occasional Black Bear. One can enjoy the quietness of the mountains, the relaxation of the hot tub, and the beautiful sunsets.
