Overview
2 bedrooms, 1.5 bathrooms providing the most awesome views!
Esther and I wanted to make it affordable and after reading our many reviews, you will understand why are guests were surprised by what we offer. This beautiful, recently renovated cabin sits on 1+ acre of wooded land on the side of a hill overlooking the Trackrock Valley. Off in the distance, the tallest point in Georgia (4,784 ft) can be seen - Brasstown Bald Mountain and directly beneath the first and second deck, one can see a winding country road that passes a white-steepled church. You can hear cows calling out to each other and many other peaceful sounds as you drink that first morning cup of coffee on the lower deck or a cup of hot chocolate around the new fire pit. A new Amish glider was placed on the deck off the master bedroom allowing you to sit and enjoy the view.
It's hard to believe that only two hours northeast of the hustling and bustling noise of Atlanta, you can find such a tranquil setting and the opportunity to escape. Town is not that far as the picturesque town of Blairsville is only eight (8) miles away. You will pass over some of the most beautiful country you will ever see as you make your way over the winding road that leads to Blairsville.
Surrounding area: There is much to see and/or do. This is a photographer's dream ... so many beautiful pictures to capture! We have seen the Dogwood season begin to open on the mountain, a red-headed woodpecker hammering out a meal, graceful deer leap across our path and the neighbors tell us that we will see our share of black bears.
You are only minutes from Vogel State Park, Brasstown Bald, Helton Creek Falls, and the Appalachian Trail. Hiking trails are close by, horseback riding at the Trackrock Stables, tubing at Pappy's and in Helen, digging for gold in Dahlonega, boating and fishing at Notelly Lake, shopping at the Premium Outlet Mall (woo hoo!), swimming at Vogel State Park, jogging in Meeks Park, and in the Fall... the changing of the leaves and the local festivals.
'Our grandson made this tour for us'
About Esther or Carl
Esther and I have been married over 25 years and we love people as each person is unique. Have you ever sat in the Atlanta airport and watch people as they walk by, observe their manners, and gestures.
We have met the nicest people who have become our guests and many have provided insight into how we can better accommodate future guests which is what this is about. Many are just wanting to 'pay the mortgage', this is not an issue with us as we really desire to please our guests.
Esther or Carl purchased this cabin in 2011
Why Esther or Carl chose Northeast Mountains
It was a foreclosure and when we walked through the door on Valentines Day 2011 and pulled back the drapes and saw the view, it was 'love at first sight'.
We then started to mold the cabin to our liking as Esther started to pick out the color of paint and obtain furniture from the local shops.
What makes this cabin unique
Choestoe Sanctuary is close to all the natural points of interest and provides a peaceful haven to rest and reflect. I am sure tthe reviews highlight this fact. Everything was added as though we were going to live here all the time as many places provide cheap items, we have not. Each time we vacation there, we add sometime new.
Guestbook comments from the owner

Best cabin we have ever stayed in
If I had known five years ago there was such a wonderful place to stay in the mountains, Kathy and I would have scheduled every stay at Choestoe Sanctuary!! It is absolutely the best supplied cabin in the most efficient location that we have ever stayed at. Until we find a place of our own, and as long as Choestoe Sanctuary is available, we will be staying there for our mountain visits! I love to write and I could write a book about our visit and experience at Choestoe Sanctuary. Actually, I have written a book about it so I will not re-write it here. Just suffice it to say: We will be back at Choestoe Sanctuary if it is open and available for our next visit!
Relaxing retreat
My husband and I visited for our anniversary and loved getting to relax on the screened porch and watch the sunset. Carl and Esther were very helpful in making suggestions for dinner and activities in the area. The views were great!
Sweet cabin with a view!
We loved our stay in this cabin. Impeccably clean with most everything you could need for a stay in the GA mountains. Extremely comfortable. Great for a couple or small family. Lots to do nearby or a great place to just relax and read.
Beautiful cabin in the best location!
We really enjoyed our stay in beautiful Blairsville, Ga. The cabin made our stay just that much more enjoyable. It had everything we needed and has a great layout. You can tell everything in the cabin was very well thought out to make your experience the best possible. We will definitely be back! Thank you Carl and Esther for all your help!
Clean and comfortable
It was just as stated and better. Very clean, comfortable, and well stocked. Incredible view of Brasstown Bald from the back porch. Great location convenient to Vogel State Park, Brasstown Bald, Alexander's store, and Jim's Smokin Que. Very popular and was already completely booked when looked for dates into August and September. Carl, the owner was very easy to communicate with and was timely in answering emails and texts. We look forward to staying at Choestoe Sanctuary again.
Peaceful Mountain Cabin
We enjoyed our stay in this cozy and comfortable home. It was clean and neat. The country decor is charming. Carl and Esther provided a well stocked kitchen to help making meals a pleasant experience. From every window and door we could see tall and gorgeous trees which gave the feeling of being in a forest. We spent most our time outdoors on the porch and the swing from where we could enjoy the spectacular mountain view. We hiked several trails which were a short distance away from the cabin. Thank you Carl and Esther for sharing your cabin. We love it. We will be back.

Pappy's, just down the road, has water tubing ... you can actually see the tubers go by as you sit and have your meal.
You will fall in love with this area and its people ... Southern hospitality is a reality in Blairsville!
Other Activities: White water rafting, many waterfalls, hiking trails, the beautiful Vogel State Park with its many trails, lake and water falls and the Appalachian Trail are all very close.
Golf: There are two golf courses within 10 miles... Butternut Creek Golf Course is a favorite and you will find a brochure inside the cabin.
Ski: Sky Valley, NC
This is approximately 1 hour 30 minutes away.
Fishing- this would be Southern Highroads Outfitters in Blairsville I had a guest who hired a guide for an awesome 4 hours fly fishing lesson and loved it. They are great people and my guest's wife texted me about all the fish he caught.
