Handmade Log Cabin w/ Full-Length Private Screened Balcony, atop Small Mountain

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; and sleeps up to 6. But there is plenty of room: the Log Cabin has three bedrooms (one with a queen, one with twin beds, and a loft with a brass double bed), and there is also a queen sleeper-sofa for your convenience, along with two full bathrooms.

Don't let the country decor or antiques fool you. Every amenity is provided, including free WiFi, DIRECTV STREAM channels/Roku for streaming apps/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 finds deep serenity on the full-length/screened-in back porch, while sitting in a rocker or swing, and taking in the fantastic view. Deer visit frequently below.

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

Nearby is 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, and we very much enjoy welcoming them back time after time. Hopefully you will become one of our regular guests, too!

There is room for 4 cars on the property, but unfortunately motorcycles are prohibited by our homeowners association.

3-Night Minimum during weekends, and 2-Night Minimum on Monday through Thursday nights, excepting holidays and subject to availability. Minimum stay is 4 or 5 nights in late October and early November (peak leaf season). Rental is for the entire home, and includes the first three guests; for each additional guest it is $10 per person, per night. Check-in time is 3:30 p.m. and check-out time is 10:00 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 or off-property, 3) that your dogs are leashed and remain on-property at all times; 4) that your dogs are crated or secured on back porch if you are not there, 5) to walk dogs along the woods-edge away from the home to avoid offending anyone, 6) that you will NOT walk dogs along the pavement 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 hope you can stay with us!

Bartosh Review
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.

Charming Authentic Cabin on Mountain Ridge
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.

Kitschy Cabin Cuteness
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.

What n enjoyable cabin. My wife and I spent a lot of time on the front porch looking at the mountains as well as time on the screened in back porch. We really enjoyed the decor of the cabin with so many antiques to see. we will definitely come back. Also enjoyed the frequent visits from the deer.

House on the prairie and more!
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!!!

Cabin on the mountain
A true log cabin, cozy. View was spectacular and it was so quiet there. Beds were all very comfortable.The only thing we didn’t like was the lighting was very dim. We had a wedding to go to and bathroom lighting was poor to put on makeup. There was no ironing board to press clothes. No storage containers for food, plastic wrap or aluminum foil. There was a lot of stuff everywhere which resulted in no place to put your personal stuff out. Like dresser tops had stuff all over them.

This cabin is located in a great area with town and other amenities in close proximity. Beautiful rustic log cabin with a nice back porch and spacious. Surrounding area has amazing views but getting there involves some steep inclines if you are not used to them.

Peaceful Rustic Escape in a Charming Log Cabin
This log cabin provided the perfect escape for a relaxing and quiet retreat. We were surrounded by nature, with stunning mountain views from the front porch and a tranquil forest just steps away from the back screened porch. Highlights of our stay: Unmatched Tranquility: Immerse yourself in the peacefulness of nature. Listen to the wind rustling through the trees, birds singing, and the occasional sounds of deer in the forest. Stunning Views: Enjoy breathtaking mountain vistas from the comfort of the front porch. Relaxation on the Back Porch: The screened-in back porch offers a perfect spot to unwind and enjoy the sights and sounds of the forest while being protected from bugs. Homey Touches: The cabin's decorations create a warm and inviting atmosphere. Entertainment Options: Stay connected with Wi-Fi, unwind with various TV channels, or enjoy a game night with the provided board games. We would highly recommend this cabin to anyone seeking a peaceful and rejuvenating getaway in a rustic setting.

Restful weekend
Thank you so much for sharing your cabin with me and my family , the cabin is very cozy with enough room that you didn’t feel on top of each other. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals and to bathe the babies in the sink. The shower is a little small but the water pressure more than made up for that. One morning it rained , and the sound to the rain hitting the tin roof made everybody sleep in .
