Welcome to the Tom Sawyer Country Cottage! Enjoy your morning coffee on the porch swing or relax by the outdoor firepit. This rustic farmhouse-style home is on a peaceful country lane just five miles from the Lake Chatuge boat ramp – and 10 minutes from town. And the cottage is surrounded by mountains on all sides. Plus, the property is less than 15 miles from the famous German-inspired town of Helen.

Plenty of room to park a boat, RV or trailer on the property. Plus, we charge NO PET FEES when you book! Two pooches of any size are welcome.

This one-story home features:
 Two bedrooms
 One full bathroom
 Smart TVs in the living room and master bedroom
 Gas grill
 Outdoor firepit
 Patio with porch swing
 Washer and dryer

The roads around the home are perfect for long, leisurely walks and there are ponds and streams nearby. While in a quiet neighborhood, the cottage is just a quick drive to the quaint town of Hiawassee where you’ll find plenty of cute shops, antique stores and restaurants. The area also boasts plenty of scenic hiking trails.

The cottage is equipped with Internet plus a dedicated desk area complete with a printer/scanner. The front porch is enclosed for children and pets.

This cute, comfortable home is decorated in charming country decor. It's the perfect choice for a relaxing mountain getaway far away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. We look forward to hosting you!

Our host was fantastic and made sure any issues were addressed promptly. You can tell this was a mountain cabin, but has been renovated and furnished into a "Cozy County Cottage" with all the necessities for an extended stay. We were very comfortable and would definitely stay there again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. So thankful to find a place that was welcoming to pets and didn’t have all kinds of restrictions. The cottage was very clean, and everything was easy to locate using the guide left by the host. We were up for a weekend at Young Harris College and being only 20 minutes away worked out great! We will definitely consider this place the next time we want to spend a long weekend up there!

This was a charming home. Close to Helen and Dahlonega. And many other hiking trails. Location was great. They provided supplies to get you going and more. Beautiful in the fall. Leaves were beautiful. Deer walking past. Great little gem.
