About this property

Happy Trails Retreat

Summary:

Dog-Friendly Cabin W/ Lofted Layout, Enclosed Yard, High-Speed WiFi, & Firepit



The Space:

Absolutely adorable both inside and out, this sleek cabin in the woods will be the perfect place to soak up those Northern Georgia vibes. The whole family will slip into relaxation mode in no time as soon as they step through the front door, as the tall vaulted ceilings, lofted media room, and plush leather furnishings await to assist in making the best vacation memories. Step into the full kitchen, and you will have everything you need to prepare anything from a classic breakfast to a gourmet dinner right at your fingertips. When the dazzling colors of the sunset arrive each evening, step out to the covered deck for a glass of wine or an alfresco meal with loved ones. Plus, the firepit will be a great place to tell fun stories and warm up under the stars!



What's nearby:

There is nothing like getting away from it all for a refreshing reset, and this home will give you and your guests just that. Though this getaway is secluded, you can still easily head over to Ivylog (four miles) for a bite to eat or some quick grocery needs. A day of lake fun in the sunshine won't be hard to find, as Nottely Lake is two-and-a-half miles from your front door offering a great place to boat, fish, kayak, or lounge on the beach. Make your way a little further and you will find yourself in the vibrant city of Blairsville offering even more shopping, dining, golf courses, and local attractions that will fill each day with fun.

All was great but the downstairs bed was unuseable because it was extremely high off the floor and because of our age the stairs were a concern.

Nice spot, the back motion sensor lights a little annoying if you're looking for deeper night sky, but that's about all I could complain about. I'd stay again.

I loved the mountain cabin feel decorated with western and black bear themes. The area was very quiet and the fenced back yard gives you peace of mind when you let your dog out.
