Bring the adventure back to your life ~ the mountains are calling you! Immerse yourself in the beauty of the North Georgia Mountains at this mountain cabin just outside of Dillard, GA and nestled along the banks of beautiful Betty Creek. This 1 private bedroom, 1.5-bath Canadian Hemlock hand hewed cabin with open sleeping loft is all you need for a memorable getaway. Enjoy playing in the creek right out your backdoor, or venture to Tallulah Gorge State Park, raft the Chattooga River, catch your dinner at Andy’s Trout Farm, or enjoy one of the numerous beautiful hikes in the Nantahala Wilderness Area. It's time to unplug and get away from it all! Let Turnstone Cabins be your home away from home!
Turnstone Cabins were built by the family of Ben Parrish, and are owned and operated by the Parrish Family. Along side our Dad, we laid every board, log, and rock with our own hands. Each cabin belongs to one of the Parrish children as a legacy of our Dad. We love opening our homes to guests so that they can share the beauty of the mountain valley we have loved over the past 25 years.
Please see our other listings on VRBO. There are 4 cabins in Turnstone. Our additional cabins are Sassafras Rock (ID 154364), Walnut Falls (ID 924357), and Cherry Bluff (ID 68189).
We are a family oriented property with cabins geared towards a quiet getaway. Any large groups or loud outdoor gatherings are not allowed in an effort to provide all of our guests (and neighbors) the most pleasant experience.

The cabin was secluded, but accessible. There is WiFi that works if you need it, but I imagine you’re going there to escape all of that! The owners were responsive and accessing all of the beautiful sights in the immediate area was no problem at all. I highly recommend this location!
A perfect get away. (No WIFI) Did not affect our overall enjoyment
My husband and I celebrated out 39th Anniversary at the Chinkapin Gap cabin. This is truly an amazing property! The back porch is directly on the mountain stream. It is such a relaxing place to sit and listen to the roar of the water. This is one of the best rentals we have ever stayed in on vacation. We had previously stayed in Cherry Bluff, one of their other cabins and it was just as great. These properties are very clean and have everything you need. We will be return guests for years to come! Thanks so much for sharing your homes!
Outstanding
We are repeat tenants of this property because we love it. This time, controlled forest burns filled the valley with smoke. My wife has smoke-triggered asthma. This forced us to have to vacate the property for our remaining stay. We only stayed one out of five nights booked. Unfortunately for us, we lost all of our money because of this and your cancellation policy.
We had a great time listening to the creek. The size of the cabin kept us together enjoying one another.
The cabin is unbelievably cozy and well-decorated. just perfect. very clean. the mattress is so compostable. simply an amazing place.
Had an awesome time. Much needed vacation. Will be back
It's no one's fault that a major cold front came through. But it was so cold, the heaters did not do enough to keep the cabin warm. A small fire in the fire place barely kept the living room heated, however, as soon as the winds picked up again, smoke was being blown back through and into the cabin. The smoke alarm went off, we had to introduce more cold air to air out the cabin, I was in the bedroom under blankets while my friend was in the shower unaware smoke was coming in. The front porch froze over from water dripping off the roof and my friend slipped and fell before we received a message from the owner letting us know the front porch can be a hazard. Then a pipe froze and burst, so the was no water. We could not stay another night. We packed up and left early that morning after a frozen night with one more day of our stay left. The place was not in a state of living. I have no complaint other than the customer service was horrible. Again, it was no one's fault about the weather, but I will never be back. If there was, after, informing the owner of all the issues, a refund for the night we could not stay, absolutely! If there was some sort of communication with an oh no! That's terrible! We'd like to do something to help ensure you'll come back. Sure. I would if there was some sort of communication with an apology, I'd at least consider returning, but there was nothing. And this was not all inclement weather. It's the fact these cabins are not designed for freezing weather. So be prepared. Only go during warm weather. Also, do t plan on having a conversation on the back porch without yelling at each other. It may seem enticing to sit that close to running water, but the river is so loud it's bordering on no longer peaceful but obnoxious.
The cabin was clean, comfortable, and well stocked with necessities. The setting was amazing with Betty’s Creek just back of the cabin. Hearing the rushing mountain stream made for a very peaceful, restful stay. Thanks to the Parrish Family!
Turnstone cabin was the perfect place for my family to reconnect and spend time away. The cabins use of space was perfect for my family if 6. Very clean!
Very quiet and cozy cabin tucked away within Nature!!! Wonderful sounds of the flowing creek to accompany and help one to relax! Wonderful!!!! No cellphone service though.....
Nice, relaxing stay. No cell service or wifi, which made for a quiet stay. Also missed having a washer /dryer as we had a lot of wet clothes with the kids loving to play in the creek.
great time great place
This is such a cute cabin and very quiet and peaceful. The creek behind it lulls you to sleep. The fireflies at night remind you of twinkling Christmas lights.
Cabin was beautiful. The creek behind cabin was so refreshing and sounded so peaceful at night. The Trout farm right down the road was icing on the cake as we ate rainbow trout the last night we were there.
Had a great time…Again. We love this cabin?
Looking forward to coming again in May if theres an open spot.
