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.

The little cottage was great. Only issue was the fire pit could not be used as the started was corroded. Host was easy to contact but he was unaware of the issue. The pine straw and leaves were very slippery down to the grill and fire pit. Other than these issues it was a great short vacay. Would stay there again.

This cottage was spectacular. We had the best time. It truly was a time for us to connect and just enjoy each other. It was so amazing that we asked to extend our stay and thankfully we were able too. When we weren't enjoying being in the cottage, we walked down to the fire pit where we relaxed by the stream that flows. Everything you need to enjoy your time there is ready and available. The owners were amazing from the moment we booked until we left. We will without a doubt be scheduling another visit

We had a wonderful time staying here! The seclusion and time spent away from the tv/telephones was much needed. Unfortunately it rained during our trip so we were not able to make our way down to the fire pit, however, that gave us the chance to stay in and listen to the rain hit the roof and enjoy the inside scenery! It really helped us not think of anything except relax and decompress and enjoy ourselves.

What an absolute DREAM! If you're even considering booking this cabin, just do it! You will not be disappointed. Park at the top and follow the lovely string lights along a path that leads to the cabin. Outside you can enjoy the lock tree, an outdoor shower, fire pit and hammock by the creek. Inside, breathtaking! I couldn't get over the beautiful handmade bed, chandeliers and the clawfoot tub! They even had romantic french music playing! We just left yesterday and I can't wait to go back!
