Cute cozy cabin, plenty of space for my husband and I and our two dogs. We loved sitting on the front porch with our coffees in the morning! So many great hikes close by - Brasstown Bald and Blood Mtn.

The owners were amazing at communicating and making sure we were satisfied.
The place could have used a little more cleaning prior our arrival, but overall acceptable. They had all the essentials you needed to feel comfortable and enjoy the stay.
Pretty nice grounds. In walking the dog I found a few hideaway's. Small pound in bloom, gazebo overlooking horse barn and pasture. It was a single room cabin. Had to set the fridge. Didn't realize it was set on high and froze up the first night

My wife and I celebrated our anniversary at the Dragonfly Cabin at Misty Mountain over Labor Day weekend. We throughly enjoyed our ourselves and look forward to visiting Misty Mountains Cabins again
Owners were very accommodating. Answered all questions. They know the area very well and are very quick to offer information on local attractions. Overall a very pleasant stay. Our Goldendoodle also enjoyed the visit as he was welcomed just as much as we were. Thanks again!
This place is a great place to stay. There are a few cabins to chose from, and all of them are extremely affordable. I have three dogs so it takes a little extra work to find places to stay, but this place was very accommodating to pet owners. The best part is this place is ran by a retired military family, so when you stay here you help support a family that sacrificed to support us.
This was my getaway from the ordinary. I already love the Blairsville area. The Misty Mountain cottages were perfectly centered in between lots of amazing hiking trails. My dog loved running in the field behind the property. Birds everywhere and a beautiful eastern view from the front porch of my cabin!
There are several great little cabins on a beautiful property. We were welcomed by some great hosts, ducks, and chickens. Very close drive to great views and the pretty downtown of Blairsville. If you have dogs this place is great because a close walk away there is a big field away from roadways where the doggos can run. Highly recommend for an adventurous couple that likes to visit small town USA and hike!
My wife and I came into town for a long weekend and had a great stay. The cottage was as advertised - small and cozy, plenty for the two of us for a short stay. The grounds were scenic and well maintained. Would definitely come back!
The property was exactly as described and was spotless. Everything about the week end was so easy (except for the hike up Brasstown Bald!) We were so happy with our decision to stay at Misty Mountain Dragonfly cabin.

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.
