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; its decor includes many antiques and curios; and it sleeps up to 6. Please note that the quoted price is for 2 guests, with a $10 per night additional guest fee, for each person beyond the first two. Our Log Cabin has three bedrooms (the ground-floor primary bedroom with a queen-size bed and luxury duvet, a second-floor loft bedroom with double bed and a luxury duvet, and a separate second-floor bedroom with two twin XL beds), and there is also a very comfy queen sleeper-sofa with a memory foam topper for your convenience, along with two full bathrooms with showers—one on each floor). We recently upgraded all beds with new luxury mattresses, for the coziest sleep ever.

Please be aware that our beloved Log Cabin was built in a traditional 1800s style, with several steps to enter the first floor, and a staircase to reach the second floor, so wheelchair-accessibility is not possible.

That said, 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 loves settling into a porch-swing or rocker to find deep serenity on the full-length/screened-in balcony overlooking the forest and nearby mountains, typically accompanied only by the soft sounds of wind in the trees and the birds of the forest. We see deer families visiting frequently below.

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

Nearby you will find 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, in its secluded location on top of a mountain — yet still only a few minutes drive from Walmart and Blairsville’s Town Square. We very much enjoy welcoming our new and returning guests each year. Hopefully you will become one of our regular guests, too! You do not need a 4-wheel drive vehicle to ascend our mountain, but you must use only a car, van, SUV, or truck to enter and exit our street and property -- no RVs, trailers, 5th wheels, pedestrians, bicycles or motorcycles. There is room for 4 vehicles. Please park only on-property, not along the street or right-of-way, and please keep the gate closed except when actively entering or exiting the driveway.

3-Night Minimum during weekends, and 2-Night Minimum on most 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 as indicated when you book. Rental is for the entire home. Check-in time is 3:30 p.m. and check-out time is 10:30 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 including beds, 3) that your dogs must be leashed when outside and that you allow them only on our property (not on or next to the paved street, or on the surrounding properties, 4) that your dogs are crated or secured on back porch if you are not there, 5) to walk dogs along the treeline away from the home to avoid offending anyone, 6) that you will NOT walk dogs along the pavement or on the gravel area past the power pole, 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 normally open bookings for each season on January 3rd of each year, and we *strongly* recommend booking as soon as possible thereafter, particularly for peak leaf season, holidays and weekends which typically sell out quickly. We do have a number of annual guests (and even some who book with us multiple times per year), and would welcome you to join that esteemed and appreciated set of folks who love our Log Cabin like we do...

By the way, our cleaning fee of $85 per stay goes 100% to our housekeeper, Amy; but you are always welcome to leave her something extra on the dinner table when you check out, should you so desire.

We are most grateful for all of our guests, and deeply appreciate sharing our unique Log Cabin with those who long for the authenticity and peace you will find there.

We hope you can stay with us!

    I almost felt like we were back in the 1800s, but with the necessary modern conveniences. So many interesting and fun eclectic things to admire and in very interesting places. The screened-in back deck is the best seat in the house! The cabin is very clean!!!! I could go on and on about this place, because it's so unique. You won't be disappointed if you stay here!

    We had a wonderful time in this whimsical, cozy, cabin. It was a Xmas/Holiday dream come true for the great-nieces, ages four and seven. There are treasures in every room. Lot's to look at and enjoy from every angle of this cabin. Nieces loved the shelves of games. We all enjoyed the breathtaking views and the quiet get away. Access was easy via a paved road directly to the cabin. We made lasting memories on the Blue Ridge Railway Holiday train ride. We had yummy pancakes at Hole In The Wall Resturant. We spent an afternoon taking in the Xmas atmosphere in nearby Helen, GA's Bavarian Village. We even enjoyed the big storm that knocked out power thru out the mountains and valley for one night. We didn't have to worry because the cabin has an awesome realistic gas fire-place. Barbara (owner) responded to any questions quickly. She also provided us with a list of sites and things to do in the area.Highly recommend this delightful magical cabin.

    This was our fourth stay at this cabin, and we continue to love it! The hosts are always prompt and helpful, quickly responding to any questions or resolving any issues. Since our last visit, they’ve added TVs in the bedrooms, which was a great upgrade for us.If you’re looking for a comfortable, relaxing place—not overly fancy, but fully equipped—this cabin is perfect. It has everything you need, including cookware, an iron, washer and dryer, grill, and more. The view is beautiful, and the screened-in back porch is a wonderful bonus.We highly recommend this cabin and will definitely be returning!

    Gorgeous setting, rustic cabin and things works: ac, showers, lighting, fans and comfortable beds. There is one ground floor bed and the rest are upstairs which in fair warning have stairs that would be difficult for seniors. We enjoyed the relaxing and beautiful setting. The host gave us a great list of things to do and we did them all!

    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.

    The overall stay was GREAT! Would suggest a little more lighting in front. Concern. The Ignition system and auto on position for the fireplace should be checked. In the off position it still seems to allow fumes to generate. In all, we loved the place and a review of memorabilia.

    Much love has gone into this cabin in the woods. This is more of a ‘staying at someone’s home’ than your typical place to stay. Floor to ceiling antiques they have acquired over the years. Lamps in every room to combat wood floors, walls, ceilings. Quaint and rustic. Screened in back porch where we ate our meals, enjoying cooler breezes even in August. Washing dishes in the huge old farmhouse sink. Yet a gas-log fire immediately warmed the chill at the touch of a button. (Hearth is fascinating and lovely!) Both a coffee pot and Keurig machine. Small showers but great pressure. Plenty of room to walk our dog. Road up is steep but nothing to be concerned about. 12 minutes from Blairsville/ good restaurants/ beautiful waterfalls/ friendly people! Our host was very responsive and wanted to make sure we had a smooth stay.

    We booked this property as an unexpected backup plan after Hurricane Debby ruined our beach vacation. Price was great, location was more or less on our way back home, and the cabin was fun. Best feature is the large fully screened-in back porch; we spent most of our time out there. Cookware and silverware were decent; could use a few more bowls of different sizes. Lots of pet supplies (food dishes, cleaning stuff, leashes, etc.) in the closet by the washer/dryer if you need them. Beds were very comfortable. If you're into maximalist deco, you'll love this place; I found it too busy visually, and kept losing track of my stuff because so many flat surfaces are covered with decorations and knickknacks. Saw a few racist statues/dolls that need to go. Air conditioning and plumbing were great; those can be dicey in cabins, so that was nice.

    This home was even more than I could have imagined. My husband and I are big time campers/hunters. We love everything to do with living away from it all. We wanted to still feel like we were doing that but a little classier. If you are looking for big showers, hot tubs, candies on your pillow... This is not your stay. Now for us it was 1000% what we were looking for. We had dinner right off the back porch each day... THE PORCH IS AMAZING!!!
