Unwind in Charming Mountain Retreat near Helen, Blue Ridge & Appalachian Trail
Hiker’s Haven – Your Mountain Basecamp in the Heart of North Georgia
Welcome to Hiker’s Haven, a cozy and inviting retreat nestled in the Trackrock section of Blairsville—a favorite for hikers, outdoor lovers, and anyone looking to unplug and recharge in nature. Surrounded by lush forest and just a short drive to the area’s most iconic trails and waterfalls, this hillside cabin is the perfect basecamp for adventure and relaxation alike.
Inside, you'll find a comfortable loft with a king-sized bed, while the main floor features a twin daybed with a pull-out trundle, perfect for families or a group of friends. The layout is both functional and welcoming, with plenty of room to rest after a long day on the trails. The wood-burning fireplace adds warmth and ambiance on chilly nights, while a quiet and efficient HVAC system keeps the cabin comfortable all year round. The fully equipped kitchen offers everything you need to cook hearty meals, prep trail snacks, or enjoy a quiet dinner in.
Outside, the covered front porch is your front-row seat to the natural beauty that surrounds the cabin. Sip your morning coffee, read a good book, or just breathe in the crisp mountain air. Later, gather around the outdoor firepit for a peaceful evening under the stars.
You’ll have access to nearly 5 acres of beautifully maintained grounds, including gazebos, picnic areas, fire pits, swings, and benches around a tranquil pond. Parking is conveniently located directly in front of the cabin, and while the property is easy to access from Town Creek School Road, it feels worlds away from the hustle and bustle.
Please note: There are stairs leading to the cabin, as shown in the photos.

Located near Alexander’s Store and Sundance Gallery, and within easy reach of Vogel State Park, Brasstown Bald, Helton Creek Falls, and the Appalachian Trail, Hiker’s Haven is a beloved choice for thru-hikers, section hikers, and weekend wanderers.

About the host
Hosted by Bill & Sarah Walsh
We purchased Misty Mountain Inn with the intent of managing the bed and breakfast as a family affair with all members (all 4 kids included) learning aspects of the business. Our motto is "Rest, Renew, and Trail On" and it is our goal to provide quality lodging for those wanting to enjoy a relaxing mountain setting with numerous recreational opportunities. We want guests to arrive with rest and renewal in mind while they spend time on the trails, lodging in our cottages, and seeking outdoor adventures in the mountains. It is our hope you leave more energized than when you arrived. We look forward to calling Georgia our home and hosting you as our guest.
