About this property

Handmade Log Cabin w/ Full-Length Private Screened Balcony, atop Small Mountain

This Log Cabin has spectacular views, and was custom-built in 1994 from 150-year-old hand-notched Cypress logs (it was not made from a kit). It has hand-made cypress cabinetry; and sleeps up to 6. But there is plenty of room: the Log Cabin has three bedrooms (the ground-floor primary bedroom with a queen-size bed, a second-floor bedroom with twin beds, and a second-floor loft bedroom with double bed), and there is also a queen sleeper-sofa for your convenience, along with two full bathrooms (one on each floor).

Don't let the country decor or antiques fool you. Every amenity is provided, including free WiFi, DIRECTV STREAM channels, Roku for streaming apps, Blu-Ray/DVD, linens, dishes, a fully equipped kitchen and dining room, washer and dryer, central heat and air and a warm gas-powered fireplace (for both beauty and heat).

Most everyone finds deep serenity on the full-length/screened-in back porch, while sitting in a rocker or swing, and taking in the fantastic view. Deer visit frequently below.

For dining out, there is a plethora of restaurants ranging from fine dining to down-home country cookin'; and there is a whiskey distillery downtown, with tours!

Nearby is Vogel State Park, the Appalachian Trail, and countless waterfalls, along with fishing, boating, kayaking, golf — and if you like whitewater, the cabin is almost directly between the Chattooga and Ocoee rivers. Sightseers will love nearby Helen, Georgia or a day trip to Cashiers-Highland, NC. The kids will delight in finding gold or gems in the mines which are a short and scenic drive away.

Although there are many activities nearby, most guests love the peaceful sanctuary that the Log Cabin is, and we very much enjoy welcoming them back time after time. Hopefully you will become one of our regular guests, too!

There is room for 4 cars on the property, but unfortunately motorcycles are prohibited by our homeowners association.

3-Night Minimum during weekends, and 2-Night Minimum on Monday through Thursday nights, excepting holidays and subject to availability. During “Peak Leaf Season” (mid-October through mid-November), the minimum stay is 4 or 5 nights. Rental is for the entire home, and includes the first two guests; for each additional guest it is $10 per person, per night. Check-in time is 3:30 p.m. and check-out time is 10:00 a.m. Please adhere to these times strictly, for the comfort and safety of all of our guests.

If you would like to bring one or two quiet, house-trained dogs that weigh less than 50 pounds each, you agree as follows: 1) to notify us of their breed and weight, 2) Dogs are not allowed on any furniture or off-property, 3) that your dogs are leashed and remain on-property at all times; 4) that your dogs are crated or secured on back porch if you are not there, 5) to walk dogs along the woods-edge away from the home to avoid offending anyone, 6) that you will NOT walk dogs along the pavement since it is not our property, and (7) that you are responsible to pay for damage/extra cleaning. Although we love cats, they are NEVER allowed.

We hope you can stay with us!

Weekend getaway from the busy city

After a bad week, we needed a weekend getaway from Atlanta, and this was perfect! Never had to leave the state, but felt like a completely different world. Clean mountain air, quiet roads, no traffic and just nature. We only left out for groceries and although the cabin had a TV, we never even watched it. The views outdoors were beautiful, and all the cabin accommodations met our needs. Highly recommend if you just want some peace & quiet.

Family Trip

The cabin was nice just lots of trinkets everywhere, it was a little overwhelming. The dolls in the bedrooms are a bit creepy, we had to hide them so our kids would stay in the rooms. The owners were were super nice and extremely helpful

This cabin is located in a great area with town and other amenities in close proximity. Beautiful rustic log cabin with a nice back porch and spacious. Surrounding area has amazing views but getting there involves some steep inclines if you are not used to them.
