Charming Shared Cabin at Project Chimps Sanctuary
**Historic Cabin Retreat in the Blue Ridge Foothills – Nature, Trails & Chimpanzees**
Escape to a one-of-a-kind historic cabin nestled on 230+ acres of protected forest in the scenic foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains—just 20 minutes from the vibrant shops and restaurants of downtown Blue Ridge, Georgia.
**Guest Accommodations** Your private space is located on the second floor and includes two cozy bedrooms and a shared full bathroom. The first floor is occupied by friendly student interns and staff from Project Chimps, a local nonprofit sanctuary.
**Nature Lover’s Paradise** Step outside to explore over 6 miles of hiking trails, sip your morning coffee beside a tranquil koi pond, and listen to the distant calls of chimpanzees. Guests enjoy complimentary access to the trails and ropes course during their stay.
**Chimpanzee Encounters** Project Chimps provides lifelong care to chimpanzees retired from medical research. While you may hear them from afar, viewing the chimps requires advance booking of a private tour or event ticket. Visit the Project Chimps website for details and availability.
**Shared Spaces & Community** Guests have shared access to the cabin’s main living room, kitchen, and porches. During the day, you’ll likely meet interns, volunteers, and staff who are happy to share stories about the sanctuary and the surrounding area—perfect for a morning chat over coffee.
**Local Attractions** Take a short drive to downtown Blue Ridge to discover charming boutiques, art galleries, and a variety of dining options. Whether you're seeking adventure or tranquility, this cabin offers a truly immersive experience in nature and conservation.
The cabin is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a washing machine and an ironing board.
