    Nice deco and property condition, arrived late at night and it took me a minute to figure out the downhill to the property but once familiar with the area, it was an easy deal. There's a couple properties that hide this quiet retreat into the woods, next to creek.

    The cabin is adorable. Needs a deep clean. The the barking dogs outside around the property were annoying. You are not isolated out there. Internet connection was great and TV good.

    The cabin was great, it was an amazing aesthetic, very country & cozy. However, watch out the for the neighbors dogs, as the owners of the animals are careless and will let them chase you. Luckily we were inside the car.

    We absolutely loved it here! Mrs. Sheila was the BEST host and made sure our stay was everything we wanted. She is so accommodating and we couldn’t have asked for a better stay! The house was so peaceful and quiet. We loved everything about it and can’t recommend it enough. We will be back soon for another stay!

    All the above. Sheila was absolutely the most informative, willing and easiest to reach host we have ever used. The price was a good value and the cabin was everything it was promised to be. She went over and above on amenities inside and out of the cabin. Lots of little touches here and there that really made a difference. Absolutely will use them again!

    I instantly felt right at home in this lovely cabin. It is beautiful and cozy. I love the eclectic, colorful decor. The cabin is well appointed with household items and appliances. The deck is huge. My pup enjoyed hanging out on the deck and exploring the large lot.This was my first time in the McCaysville/Copper Hill area. It certainly won't be my last.

    If you like peace and quiet, perfect setting in the woods, completely stocked and very clean cottage with everything that you can think of then you will love the stay at this place. Short drive to downtown McCaysville where there are restaurants galore (all within walking distance) some shopping, small grocery store and very friendly people. Sheila is an excellent host that is quick to respond to your every need. I recommend this place highly.

    Very clean and up to date loft style cabin. It was easy to find and no problem getting in. A convenient location to all the trails, river and town too! I definitely recommend Wildwater rafting and make sure and stop by Rum Cake Lady for the most delicious food.

    We stayed a Thursday- Sunday. Kitchen 10 stars- there was everything you needed and more- stove gas and top of the line. The fire pit surrounded by ferns and bordered by a babbling creek was just what we needed. Placed the chairs in creek and watched the minnows and listened to the frogs. 1920s claw foot tub- icing on the cake. Out of all the places we’ve stayed this is our favorite. We will be back.

    This cabin was exactly what we were looking for. And the weather was perfect. With such a busy schedule I was looking to get away with my dogs for some mommy. fur baby time. We were actually there during the coldest time (lowest temp was 6 degrees). The propane fire place gave the cabin the perfect feel and heated the cabin amazingly. Shelia was an amazing host with communicating with me about the bad weather that was gonna happen during my stay and was so kind to offer to reschedule but I declined and still went (best choice). She checked on us daily which meant a lot to me. Definitely can’t wait to return.

    Did not meet our location expectations. The property is located in a neighborhood, subdivision. A house next door with junk cars, etc in the yard. Other homes all around. The property also has a very small cottage for sleeping which sits facing the “cabin.” There is a ring camera that sits on that cottage facing the “cabin.” It was very evident that the owner/host watches that camera became within five minutes of our arrival, she texted to say to let her know if we needed anything. Inside of the property felt more like the host/owner’s home. It gave the impression that she left for the week so we could rent the property. Tons of personal items, including food in a pantry leaving no where to put our dry goods. Family photos everywhere; made us feel very uncomfortable.Dishwasher is very old and dishes must be scrubbed before they are placed in the dishwasher. It doesn’t state that online. That info is not known until it is stated on a note on the refrigerator. There are notes displayed throughout the “cabin” in items that resemble picture frames. None of the outdoor deck lighting was working. Not one light switch in the house made them work. The gas grill out on the deck is connected to the main gas line. There are very confusing instructions on the refrigerator with a diagram to turn on the gas for the grill. The gas regulator is upside down on the grill compared to the diagram. The grill and heater stove were on timers. Very difficult instructions to change.

    This little cabin is so cozy, with lots of personal touches that show it is well-loved. It's close to town but tucked away enough to feel like you're off by yourselves. Sheila was quick to respond snd gave great directions; check-in was easy! We would definitely stay here again.

    We figured it out and we’ve been coming to Fernbank for 10 years! It’s always just what we need in every way, close to all the things we enjoy: riverside shops and restaurants in Mccaysville, Crane Creek Vinyards in Young Harris, Brasstown Bald, Helen, etc. But the cabin itself is a favorite- relaxing and refreshing. We love the fire pit by the creek!Thanjs again for a wonderful visit!

    The cabin was a great place to stay and relax. We enjoyed building a fire down by a little stream of water and just enjoying the sounds of the wildlife....birds singing and squirrels scampering about. The cabin was stocked with more than we imagined regarding the ability to cook our own meals. We enjoyed eating breakfast at the cabin and then hitting the road for daily adventures. Highly recommend this cabin!
