Thank you we had such a wonderful time. They provided everything you need. We felt like little kids away at summer camp. Playing checkers, pool, camp fire, and exploring all the trails. We loved the menu binder for all the nearby restaurants. Tb&j is a must stop if you like bbq. You will remember this cabin and those beans forever. Thanks so much for everything.

We had a great weekend stay! The cabin was cozy, accomodations were great for two couples. The kitchen was well supplied with spices, dinnerware and cookware. The fire pit was nice for relaxing at night after our busy days. Plenty of things to do close by. We called our trip "Walking and Wineries", hikes in the morning , wine tasting in the afternoon and bonfires at night to relax and finish our wines. We'd like to send a big thanks out to the Schultz's for allowing us time at the Copper Owl!

It’s a beautiful area where the cabin is located with so much to see. All the waterfalls were great to hike to with our little ones and the house was fully stocked for all our needs. The owners were so easy to talk to and gave us great recommendations for places to go hike and eat. Thank you for sharing your home:)

Quiet, Family Friendly Retreat
We enjoyed reconnecting as a family at this quiet, well thought out retreat. The board games and small pool / air hockey table were favorites with our kids. We enjoyed the screened in patio on rainy evenings as well as our hike to nearby Angel Falls. The cabin was very clean, well kept and aesthetically pleasing. Thank you!

Our girls were enthralled by the space & my husband & I are now trying to work a screened porch into our future. We also had a blast roasting marshmallows at the fire pit. We definitely hope to be back!

Second visit to The Copper Owl
This was the second visit to The Copper Owl for me and my golden retriever Buster. Since this was my second stay at The Copper Owl, you might guess that I was pleased with the earlier stay or that I finally realized that I had forgotten and left something there last year. While I am still not completely sure about the latter, I am sure about the former. I liked The Copper Owl. You can look back at the reviews from about a year ago and see what I wrote about the property then. It all still applies. I'll wait while you read it...Oh. OK, you're back. So this time my wife came with me. And Buster again. In the time since my last stay there, my wife and I have rented and stayed at a villa overlooking a beach in the British Virgin Islands, a renovated brownstone townhouse in Boston, and a mountain home in North Carolina. The ones that we would definitely stay at again are the BVI villa and The Copper Owl. The Boston brownstone had history and location but lacked those touches that would make it more appealing and welcoming. The mountain house in North Carolina just didn't cut it. The Copper Owl has quality furniture and decor that demonstrates that the owners are serious about their property and didn't just go to yardsales to furnish it. The one issue might be with the television service and getting local channels. They have Netflix and Amazon Prime TV but the remote location of the property hinders good local reception. But we weren't there to watch TV.

Great Privacy & Roomy Cottage
We thoroughly enjoyed our short stay! This cottage is much larger than it looks! The whole check in and out process was simple and allowed us to enjoy our limited time. Property is conveniently 1/2 between Clayton and Helen near Lake Rabun, so a great vase camp for exploring North Georgia. Not far from other homes but you can't see them, even with no leaves on the trees. Wish we could have stayed a week to truly enjoy it. Definitely will consider again in the future.

Anniversary trip
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this wonderful cabin!!! It was quiet, cozy and very comfortable. It had everything we needed for our stay. The owners were very responsive to our questions. The location was great for us to relax and to explore the great outdoors. We came to the area to hike and get away from the busyness of life. There was no shortage of trails to hike within a 45 minute drive from the cabin. The closest was the Angel Falls trailhead, Minnehaha Falls, followed by Tallulah Gorge State Park and Panther Creek Falls trailhead. We also went to Unicoi State Park, Rabun Bald Mountain and Yonah Mountain. There were two other state parks nearby that we didn't make it to (Moccasin Creek State Park, Smithgall Woods State Park). If we return to the area, we will definitely stay here again. For those who are sensitive to traveling on curvy roads, we highly recommend you arrive during the daylight hours.

Great experience
Our hosts were extremely helpful and kept in contact with us for our every need or problem. The cabin is wonderful, clean and, overall, perfect for a mountain experience. A lot of kitchen supplies were provided that we didn’t expect. My only regret is that I suffer anxiety from heights and driving to and from the cabin was very nerve wracking for me. This is not their fault and most people will have no problem. The roads are very well maintained and drivable and there is a very nice lake beach only minutes away. Several nice wineries and a few breweries are within 30 minutes of the cabin. Thank you Liz and Karl for a great 2 week experience.

We also appreciated that they had the little things on hand that we forgot like marshmallow sticks for s’mores and a spare toothbrush so we didn’t have to trek back out.
