I live in Atlanta and purchased Sweetbay Cabin in February 2015 and have had a lot of fun decorating the cabin to make it a perfect get-away vacation home and I am excited to share it with guests.
Why they chose this property
The Cashiers/Highlands plateau is one of the most beautiful and unique places in the world. After visiting and staying with friends in the area for years, I finally decided to purchase a second home and fell in love with this log cabin and its incredible location. It is private, yet close to so many great restaurants, shopping, and amenities.
What makes this property unique
