About this property

COZY, CLEAN, & CHEAP! Close to everything, yet private & quiet.

Tucked into the woods, off the beaten path--a perfect place to chill! All the amenities, including wifi, cable, washer/dryer, dishwasher, microwave and gas grill. 10 miles from Blue Ridge, GA. 3 miles from Ocoee River and whitewater rafting. Built by my son, it is not fancy, but very comfortable. A small creek runs through the property, with a firepit/sitting area nearby. One bed, one bath. No shower. Bed and bath are in the loft. New queen-sized bed with Beauty Rest mattress. A great retreat for couples, or for a writer/artist. Go hiking, biking, rafting, shopping, antiquing, fishing, sightseeing or to fairs and festivals during the day, then retreat to the peace and quiet of the rain forest! (Comfortable sofas accommodate 2 more, if needed.)

The cabin is adorable. Needs a deep clean. The the barking dogs outside around the property were annoying. You are not isolated out there. Internet connection was great and TV good.

Wow. It IS almost time for the annual “deep clean,” but—as prior ratings indicate—we’ve NEVER had a comment about cleanliness. I was at the cabin just prior to this guest, so don’t understand at all. (Guessing the dogs were barking at the GUEST’S dog.) 🙂

The cabin was great, it was an amazing aesthetic, very country & cozy. However, watch out the for the neighbors dogs, as the owners of the animals are careless and will let them chase you. Luckily we were inside the car.

All the above. Sheila was absolutely the most informative, willing and easiest to reach host we have ever used. The price was a good value and the cabin was everything it was promised to be. She went over and above on amenities inside and out of the cabin. Lots of little touches here and there that really made a difference. Absolutely will use them again!

If you like peace and quiet, perfect setting in the woods, completely stocked and very clean cottage with everything that you can think of then you will love the stay at this place. Short drive to downtown McCaysville where there are restaurants galore (all within walking distance) some shopping, small grocery store and very friendly people. Sheila is an excellent host that is quick to respond to your every need. I recommend this place highly.

I instantly felt right at home in this lovely cabin. It is beautiful and cozy. I love the eclectic, colorful decor. The cabin is well appointed with household items and appliances. The deck is huge. My pup enjoyed hanging out on the deck and exploring the large lot.This was my first time in the McCaysville/Copper Hill area. It certainly won't be my last.

Cozy cabin

Very clean and up to date loft style cabin. It was easy to find and no problem getting in. A convenient location to all the trails, river and town too! I definitely recommend Wildwater rafting and make sure and stop by Rum Cake Lady for the most delicious food.

About the host

Hosted by Sheila Eckman

Host profile image

This is a small cabin built by my husband and son. Since both are now gone, we are especially grateful for the memories here. I am retired from a variety of careers, including university work, physician recruitment, and non-profit management. I served 10 years on my city council and eight years as county commissioner. My dog Winston accompanies me to the cabin and loves it there!

Why they chose this property

Great when you want to get away and just chill out. Read. Write. Watch SEC sports! Or take in local antiquing, hiking, rafting, tubing, etc. Not to mention some great eating.

What makes this property unique

Affordable! I want to make a trip to the mountains accessible because it has meant so much to my children and grandchildren to be able to go. While not fancy, it is very comfortable. An affordable option.
