Nestled in the Blue Ridge chain of the Appalachian mountains in the shadow of Pickens Nose Mountain, North Georgia mountain cabins are just 5 miles from Dillard, Georgia; a very unique log cabin vacation rental hideaway. The lure of these early 1800's Appalachian style log rental cabins in this setting is irresistible. Let your mind slip back in time. As you approach our cabins, you'll admire the hand-hewed craftsmanship that was used by the early Appalachian settlers and is still being duplicated today.

Massive hemlock logs with their dovetail notched corners and chinking, exposed ceiling beams held in place by wooden pegs, a sleeping loft, pine floors and tin roofs form these primitive style homesteads. The charm of the 1700's and 1800's, but with all of the conveniences of today.

The road ends at our secluded hideaway, meaning- there is no through traffic. Our property joins Betty's Creek (one of the most pristine, beautiful creeks in the area) and extends up Brushy Ridge Mountain where we join the 24,500 acre Southern Nantahala Wilderness and Standing Indian Wildlife & Bear Reserve.

A marked trail leads from our cabins west to join the scenic Appalachian Trail at Betty's Creek Gap (about 1 1/2 hour hike). There is an abundance of wild flowers in this Appalachian Rainforest from early spring until November; flowering trees, flame azaleas, mountain laurel, rhododendron, the many varieties of ferns, the clear tumbling streams; all add delight to your visit in all seasons. If you plan on day hiking, don't forget a raincoat or parka.

Wild turkeys come to the creek daily to drink. Other wildlife using our property and the adjoining wilderness include: bear, white-tailed deer, raccoon, skunk, fox, squirrels, eagles, grouse and an array of songbirds.

When you come to Turnstone Log Cabin, be prepared to relax, rock in our high-backed porch rockers, smell the clean mountain air, sit on huge rocks or your deck beside the creek and let your cares drift away. Maybe you'll spot a wild turkey. Perhaps you'd enjoy fly-fishing for rainbow trout at a nearby trout pond; it's just down the creek and you don't even need a license. (You gotta try grilled rainbow trout; a real mountain treat.) or spend the afternoon walking the marked and maintained mountain trails through the wilderness area or along the creek. NO Pollution, NO Crowds, or Schedules to keep.

Be sure to bring a sweater or light jacket even in the summer, since the evening temperature often drops below 55 degrees. The valley and creek are bathed with a very cool evening breeze coming down from the 5000 foot high surrounding mountain peaks.

Why the Owner Chose Dillard

There are lots of things to do in the area and lots of waterfalls to explore. Several large clear mountain lakes to swim or boat in.

Hi Ben, this is exactly what the doctor ordered! It was a long trip up from Naples - but worth every mile. The cabin is even better that the internet photos. We feel so relaxed and comfortable here, it will be so hard to leave. We woke up on Thanksgiving morning with a bunch of wild turkeys outside by the porch - so we decided to have ham for dinner instead. I guess they didn't know what day it was. We hiked up the mountain trail for about 3 hours this morning. Even 4 month old Cameron made the trip in his "baby-jogger" stroller. It was mother nature at her best. Fires every night, fresh apples, antiques galore, sleeping late, the sound of the creek, the incredible surroundings and the perfect little home away from home - Thanks Ben for making all this possible for us. We will be back! Patty, Tom, Justin & Cameron (Florida)

Before my new husband and I even knew each other - we had always dreamed about having our honeymoon in a cabin tucked away in the woods somewhere. Willy found your cabins on the internet and made the plans. Your cabin is more than we both could ever have imagined. It has been a blessing. I have enjoyed staying here more than I could have ever enjoyed staying in some expensive hotel! I have already recommended this cabin to my parents and will continue to do so to others. You've made our honeymoon dream come true and God bless you. Willy & Darlene (Calif)

We loved sitting on the backpoarch overlooking the creek in the morning while having coffee. We even delayed spending time away from the cabin and opted instead to linger before we would venture out.I especially enjoyed building a fire in the fireplace, and hearing his stories of days gone by, without the need for a TV. Good memories were built on this trip that included Turnstone Cabins. Karon , Atl, Ga

Hi Dianne & Ben, This is just a followup to our stay April 29-May 1, 2010 in the Cherry Bluff cabin. If you recall, I booked this cabin because my 80yr old Daddy wanted to spend time in the NC area in a cabin. So Mama and I loaded him up with his walker and took a chance having never been to your place before. Well, it exceeded our expectations! Thanks for such a lovely place to relax. Happy to add this comment to your Facebook Page.
