The French Secret for a perfect romantic getaway

Have you ever dreamed of going to Paris? The French Secret is your little Paris getaway, hidden in North Georgia. A romantic place that your will always remember. Everything has been designed to create a romantic atmosphere, the King Louis XVI style bed, the chandelier shining at the top of the ceiling, the mirrors in the bedroom and the bathroom to remind you the beauty of the hall of mirrors of the palace of Versailles, the pictures on the wall of multiple romantic sceneries of Paris,...
The French Secret is a 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom romantic cottage. The place offers a kitchen and a dining area. In addition, you can enjoy the bistro table on the front porch. Finally, there is a nice set up by the small creek with a charcoal grill, a gas fire pit and a couple hammock. The bathroom provides a 2 persons bathtub. And you can even enjoy the outdoor shower!
Romance at its finest...

** Please note, there is a steep, sloping pathway that leads from the parking area to the cottage that can be challenging for some. Please reach out if you have any questions **
The cottage is air-conditioned and features a kitchenette and space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can expect to find free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a coffee maker and a dining table.

Adorable cottage for two with a cozy but modern feel. Air works great, bed was super comfy, and there is plenty of space to lounge around and catch your breath. Located close enough to Blue Ridge to go if you want, but you’re not stuck in all the hubbub.
