The property manager was very helpful with any issues we had and quick to respond, even when the issue was something we just overlooked. We enjoyed the house and the outdoor deck is amazing. We also love the amazing walk-in bathroom. If you are looking for a great and spacious place to stay near Taccoa Falls College then I highly recommend staying herw.

The property was great. Plenty of room/space. Loved the rustic feel it had. Back porch/patio was huge along with a big open yard. Also a very cool loft area especially for younger kids. Close to boat ramps as well as Toccoa and Lavonia. Would definitely stay here again.

Awesome place to relax…

I spent 12 amazing days at the cabin. It was so peaceful. You aren’t far from Seneca or Clemson, if you’re looking for things to do. But the cabin provides enough necessities that you won’t need to leave. Plenty of room for everyone to spread out. A beautiful cabin with an old fashioned feel along with modern amenities. And the host was absolutely lovely! Definitely recommend.

Host profile image
Lifelong Georgians from the mountain region!

We enjoy sharing the rustic charm of our property with our guests and learning what brought them to the area. We especially appreciate feedback and love when guests share the glimpses of memories they made while staying at the Bee & Barb Farmhouse.

Why they chose this property

The area is serene and abundant with natural beauty, friendly people, and loads to do for those who like to get out and adventure. But the property is a haven all its own!

What makes this property unique

The Bee & Barb is an historic property — the original footprint built in the 1850s. We enjoy the history of it and worked hard to preserve it while bringing in modern day comforts. It offers a rustic charm that we absolutely love and love to share! It’s the perfect place to getaway, unplug, and enjoy life!
