South Fork River Cabin just below Watson Mill Bridge State Park. Take it easy at this unique and tranquil getaway on our farm. This Aframe along the river is perfect for a couple's getaway. King size bed in the loft. In the pasture behind the cabin, our friendly goats love attention and are always happy to greet guests.
Bring your beach towels. Chairs available to sit on sanbars and rocks in the river.
Just a quick heads-up 😊
We’re currently having some work done on our farm pond at the top of the river cabin driveway, so you may notice a little more noise than usual and hear some equipment running during the day.
They will not be working past 5 PM or on weekends, so it should be quiet during your evenings and throughout the weekend.
I’ve provided a radio/Bluetooth speaker for you to use during your stay if you’d like. 🎶
And if you’re curious, feel free to stop along the driveway and watch the progress! It’s pretty neat to see the pond work being done.

🐐 Goats 🐐
You're welcome to go inside the pasture and visit the goats!

Please feed treats through the gate or fence only.
Do not take treats inside the pasture. It makes for more peaceful visits when they are not competing for treats.

depending on water level.
We have been in a drought this year so currently its too low to kayak . Broad river outpost is 20 minutes away on a different section of the river and still allowing people to float.
If you are looking for a calm relaxing float the South Fork Broad river is for you.
This section of the river provides the ideal setting for a private relaxing excursion, a swim or some fishing.
The South Fork is rain fed and one of Georgia's last free flowing rivers .
The river changes throughout the year meaning each time you float will be a little different than the time before.

☀️Please know that we are located in the country by a lake.

We ask that you do your best to keep outside doors closed when not actively walking through to help prevent any bugs from getting inside.
☀️ The stairs to the loft are kind of a hybrid between traditional steps and a ladder; very comfortable, but you just need to be mindful of where you are putting your feet .
☀️The cabin has a tin roof, so during heavy rain or thunderstorms you’ll hear the relaxing sound of rain overhead. Most guests love the cozy ambiance, but light sleepers may want to bring earplugs during stormy weather.
