THE CHRISTMAS TREE IS UP! Have a cozy cabin Christmas!

Tucked into the woods, off the beaten path--a perfect place to chill! All the amenities, including wifi, cable, washer/dryer, dishwasher, microwave and gas grill. 10 miles from Blue Ridge, GA. 3 miles from Ocoee River and whitewater rafting. Built by my son, it is not fancy, but very comfortable. A small creek runs through the property, with a firepit/sitting area nearby. One bed, one bath. No shower. Bed and bath are in the loft. New queen-sized bed with Beauty Rest mattress. A great retreat for couples, or for a writer/artist. Go hiking, biking, rafting, shopping, antiquing, fishing, sightseeing or to fairs and festivals during the day, then retreat to the peace and quiet of the rain forest! (Comfortable sofas accommodate 2 more, if needed.)

Cozy cabin

Very clean and up to date loft style cabin. It was easy to find and no problem getting in. A convenient location to all the trails, river and town too! I definitely recommend Wildwater rafting and make sure and stop by Rum Cake Lady for the most delicious food.

Perfect getaway with babbling creek.

We stayed a Thursday- Sunday. Kitchen 10 stars- there was everything you needed and more- stove gas and top of the line. The fire pit surrounded by ferns and bordered by a babbling creek was just what we needed. Placed the chairs in creek and watched the minnows and listened to the frogs. 1920s claw foot tub- icing on the cake. Out of all the places we’ve stayed this is our favorite. We will be back.

Sweet, cozy cabin

This little cabin is so cozy, with lots of personal touches that show it is well-loved. It's close to town but tucked away enough to feel like you're off by yourselves. Sheila was quick to respond snd gave great directions; check-in was easy! We would definitely stay here again.

Great spot for a getaway

My husband and I had a much needed getaway in this cozy little cabin. We were also able to bring our dog, Baxter! The clawfoot tub was amazing and the bed was very comfortable. Everyone was able to relax and enjoy the peace and quiet. We would definitely recommend and we will be back again ourselves!

Perfect couples retreat

We had a lovely time at Sheila's cabin. The cabin is very nice! The location is secluded, in a nice neighborhood, and Sheila is a great host. She was communicative and accomadating. We thoroughly enjoyed hanging out on the porch and by the fire pit. We would definitely book another stay.

Home away from home!

We figured it out and we’ve been coming to Fernbank for 10 years! It’s always just what we need in every way, close to all the things we enjoy: riverside shops and restaurants in Mccaysville, Crane Creek Vinyards in Young Harris, Brasstown Bald, Helen, etc. But the cabin itself is a favorite- relaxing and refreshing. We love the fire pit by the creek!Thanjs again for a wonderful visit!

Relaxing

The cabin was a great place to stay and relax. We enjoyed building a fire down by a little stream of water and just enjoying the sounds of the wildlife....birds singing and squirrels scampering about. The cabin was stocked with more than we imagined regarding the ability to cook our own meals. We enjoyed eating breakfast at the cabin and then hitting the road for daily adventures. Highly recommend this cabin!
