About this property
Happy Trails - Explore, Play, Then Unwind
Reasons to Book A peaceful mountain escape where relaxation comes naturally Game room with billiards, foosball, arcade style gaming, and an oversized TV Two screened porches with outdoor fireplace, hot tub, and relaxing gathering spaces Minutes from award winning wineries, Amicalola Falls, hiking, and outdoor adventure Family friendly retreat designed for making memories and slowing down together
Tucked away among the trees with no neighboring homes in sight, Happy Trails is the kind of mountain retreat where it's easy to disconnect from the noise and reconnect with what matters most. Surrounded by nature and thoughtfully designed for families and groups, this private getaway offers the perfect balance of relaxation, adventure, and quality time together.
Whether you're gathering around the outdoor fireplace, soaking in the hot tub beneath the stars, or simply enjoying the peaceful wooded setting from one of two screened porches, Happy Trails invites you to slow down and settle into mountain life. The main-level porch features a wood-burning fireplace, outdoor dining, and a TV for cozy evenings outdoors, while the lower-level porch offers a covered hot tub, daybed swing, and additional seating for unwinding after a day of exploring.
Inside, the fun continues in the game room, where guests of all ages can enjoy foosball, billiards, a game table loaded with electronic games, and an 85-inch Smart TV perfect for movie nights and game-day gatherings. Spacious gathering areas throughout the home make it easy to spend time together while still finding your own space to relax.
When you're ready to venture out, some of North Georgia's best attractions are just minutes away. Spend the day exploring Amicalola Falls State Park, home to one of the tallest waterfalls east of the Mississippi, or enjoy hiking, ziplining, archery, and scenic mountain views throughout the area. Wine lovers will appreciate being within a short drive of several local wineries, while cyclists and outdoor enthusiasts will find endless opportunities for adventure nearby.
At the end of the day, return to the quiet comfort of Happy Trails, where crackling fires, peaceful surroundings, and unforgettable mountain moments await.

Thank you for staying with us and for your kind review of Happy Trails. We loved the photos you sent to us of the gorgeous fall colors. We look forward to welcoming you again in the near future.
The house is in good condition and our group of 12 enjoyed our stay. The layout is nice and good location to nearby wineries. The hot tub didn’t work on our second night, which was disappointing, otherwise it was a great trip.

Our family of 11 stayed here and lived it. House was as described and kitchen had everything we needed. We loved the hot tub and fireplace on the porch. It was also a quick drive to Reece’s Orchard, which was a great activity for everyone.
Very nice property - clean and accurately described on the site. Accommodated our family and its diverse interests well.

Thank you for staying with us at Happy Trails. We are so happy you enjoyed your stay and appreciate your kind review! We look forward to seeing you in Blue Ridge again soon..
Our stay at this cabin was nothing short of amazing! Nestled in the heart of the mountains, it offered breathtaking views, total serenity, and all the comforts of home. The cabin was spotless, beautifully decorated, and stocked with everything we needed. We loved waking up to the fresh mountain air, sipping coffee on the deck. The location was perfect—secluded enough for peace and quiet but still close to great hiking trails and charming local spots.The hosts were incredibly thoughtful, providing clear instructions and little personal touches that made our stay even more special. If you’re looking for a relaxing escape in nature, this is the place. We can’t wait to come back!
