About this property

You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

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; its decor includes many antiques and curios; and it sleeps up to 6. But there is plenty of room: the Log Cabin has three bedrooms (the ground-floor primary bedroom with a queen-size bed, a second-floor bedroom with twin beds, and a second-floor loft bedroom with double bed), and there is also a queen sleeper-sofa for your convenience, along with two full bathrooms (one on each floor).

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 we ask that you use only a car, SUV, or truck to enter and exit our street and property. There is room for 4 cars, but unfortunately motorcycles are prohibited by our homeowners association. Please park only on-property, not along the street or right-of-way.

3-Night Minimum during weekends, and 2-Night Minimum on 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. Rental is for the entire home, and includes the first two 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 10:30 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 or off-property, 3) that your dogs are leashed and that you allow them only on our property (not on or next to the street, or 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 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!

Weekend getaway from the busy city

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.

Great location in a Rustic Setting

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.

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.

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!!!

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.

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!
