About this property

Magical Forest Lodge-HotTub-Pool Table-Fireplace-Creek

Discover the enchanting Buddy's Bungalow, your magical forest lodge nestled on Barnes Creek and bordering the lush Chattahoochee National Forest. This cabin is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts, located just minutes from the nation's top hiking and mountain biking trails, including the renowned Pinhotti and Bear Creek trails. Accommodating up to six guests, our cabin is the epitome of cozy comfort, crafted with attention to every detail. The soothing sounds of Barnes Creek and the surrounding nature create a tranquil backdrop for your stay. With ample parking, super-fast fiber internet, and sprawling grassy areas, this pet-friendly cabin promises a unique and memorable experience.

The cabin, tucked in a picturesque valley, offers the ultimate restful getaway. As you arrive, the sounds of rushing water welcome you. Step onto the deck walkway leading to the entrance, passing by the inviting hot tub area. Inside, the cabin exudes rustic elegance, featuring a fully stocked kitchen and beautifully designed living spaces. Choose from oversized first-floor bedrooms with a king and queen bed or the cozy king bedroom upstairs, complete with a 'cubbie hole' nook ideal for pets or children. Entertainment abounds with SmartTVs equipped with YouTube TV in every bedroom, the living room, and the game room. Challenge your companions to a game of pool, board games, or simply relax by the wood-burning fireplace. We've thought of everything, including pet amenities like bowls, an extra leash, and pick-up bags.

The cabin spans over 2,000 sq. ft. There is only one security camera that faces the driveway and records 24/7 and doesn't face any interior area. Enjoy easy, contactless check-in with keypad access, and appreciate the no-step entry to the cabin, ensuring accessibility for all guests. Named 'Buddy's Bungalow', this cabin is situated outside an HOA community, with a few neighboring properties discreetly nestled among the trees. The serene creek flows gracefully through the valley, adding to the cabin's charm. With ample parking for up to six vehicles, the cabin is also conveniently located for festival-goers and food lovers, with downtown Ellijay's unique dining just 10 miles away. For those seeking adventure, Fort Mountain State Park is only 11 miles distant, offering swimming, hiking, and horseback riding. Buddy's Bungalow has been a favorite for many years. Your hosts, Jason and Erin Wilson, are dedicated to ensuring your stay is comfortable and memorable. We invite you to experience the beauty and tranquility of Buddy's Bungalow, a true gem in the heart of nature's splendor. GILMER COUNTY STR License #001914.
