    This is by far one of the best rentals I have ever stayed in. The house was very clean and beautifully decorated. My favorite part was the bath tub. It was great for a calm weekend anniversary getaway. The house was clean and the surrounding area was quiet and peaceful. The outdoor shower was so unique and a nice touch. I can absolutely see myself coming back here next time I need a peaceful getaway!

    Words can never do justice for this cottage. You walk in and you are transported to Paris. Every little detail from decor to music to their version of Pont Des Arts. The tub and hammock for two, outside shower and outdoor lighted walkways. So much more! It took a very stressful life of ours and relaxed us. It seems strange to run to the mountains to go to Paris…but you have to experience this at least once. It is also close to many outdoor adventures and restaurants. Thank you for the gifts and the special memories. So much love & time has gone into creating this experience for their guests.

    This BEAUTIFUL Cottage was the most absolute perfect Getaway for me, my husband, and our fur babies. Thats not an exaggeration either! There is a slightly steep hike down to the cottage. The walkway is made from mulch that is outlined in rocks, ropes, and the most adorable string lights. It was like walking through a fairy forest or something magical. The cottage on the outside is so adorable. They have an outside shower, that honestly should have a privacy fence now due to the traffic on the other side of the little creek. I could see the potential for the romance with the outside shower, but not with the multiple cars driving by and the potential for possibly what looks like a pad for a cabin to be built in the view of the outside shower. Speaking of shower, that is the only one on this property. The claw foot tub does have a handle with a shower head though. Anyways, there is a cute and quaint place to sit beside the creek where you can grill out and lay in a two person hammock. As soon as you walk into the cottage, your jaw hits the floor with how romantic and beautifully done they made this cottage. Our minds were blown! The chandelier they have hanging over the bed is so beautiful, especially at night when the outside fairy lights are shining in and reflecting from it. The kitchen is small, but it is perfect for two people and had everything we could have needed or ask for! I am running out of characters, so really quick, this place is perfect! Highly recommend

    The little cottage was great. Only issue was the fire pit could not be used as the started was corroded. Host was easy to contact but he was unaware of the issue. The pine straw and leaves were very slippery down to the grill and fire pit. Other than these issues it was a great short vacay. Would stay there again.

    This cottage was spectacular. We had the best time. It truly was a time for us to connect and just enjoy each other. It was so amazing that we asked to extend our stay and thankfully we were able too. When we weren't enjoying being in the cottage, we walked down to the fire pit where we relaxed by the stream that flows. Everything you need to enjoy your time there is ready and available. The owners were amazing from the moment we booked until we left. We will without a doubt be scheduling another visit

    We had a wonderful time staying here! The seclusion and time spent away from the tv/telephones was much needed. Unfortunately it rained during our trip so we were not able to make our way down to the fire pit, however, that gave us the chance to stay in and listen to the rain hit the roof and enjoy the inside scenery! It really helped us not think of anything except relax and decompress and enjoy ourselves.

Park at the top and follow the lovely string lights along a path that leads to the cabin. Outside you can enjoy the lock tree, an outdoor shower, fire pit and hammock by the creek. Inside, breathtaking! I couldn't get over the beautiful handmade bed, chandeliers and the clawfoot tub! They even had romantic french music playing!

    This was a delightful escape, just over an hour from Atlanta. The journey showcases stunning mountain views and leads you through the charming town of Blue Ridge, GA, where you'll find a variety of quaint shops, local artisans, eateries, and a central square. The property is nestled in a serene natural environment along a quiet, small community road within the woodlands. The rental exudes charm, romance, and French style, adorned with thoughtful details such as antique chandeliers, a clawfoot soaking tub, a fully equipped kitchenette, and a bistro table laid with china for two. Spotlessly clean, cozy, and distinctive - this location is perfect for a romantic retreat or for a writer seeking an inspiring natural setting with a European vibe. An added bonus was the host's exceptional responsiveness and warmth. It truly is a hidden gem! I look forward to returning in the fall to experience the breathtaking scenery foliage.

    My wife and I embarked on a romantic adventure to this delightful VRBO cabin that felt like a hidden gem straight out of a French countryside postcard. Nestled among trees, the cabin instantly transported us to a world of rustic elegance and cozy vibes.As soon as we stepped inside, we were greeted by charming French decor—think vintage chandeliers, delicate curtains, and a stunning collection of art that made us feel like we were in a Parisian apartment rather than a cabin in the woods. The warm, inviting atmosphere was perfect for snuggling up with a glass of wine. And let’s not forget the stunning views! The large windows framed the landscape like a painting, making every moment feel like a scene from a French film. In short, this cabin was the perfect blend of cozy comfort and French flair—a magical escape that rekindled our love and gave us a much-needed break from the daily grind. We left with our hearts full, already dreaming of our next visit! 10/10 would recommend for a romantic getaway!
