You are invited to come and stay at our little cozy cottage in the mountains.

Since our driveway is gravel and steep, we recommend that you drive a 4X4 or a vehicle with good traction. No low to the ground vehicles or motorcycles!! You will see that it was worth the drive upon arrival at your secluded and peaceful retreat where wonderful memories are waiting to be made!!
Walk up on the porch that wraps around three sides of the cottage. Grab a cup of coffee, sit on the porch awhile, and enjoy the views of Rabun Bald and Alex Mountain.

We traveled from Moncks Corner, SC (approx 30 miles north of Charleston, SC) to hike. We frequently visit the mountains of NC/GA/TN several times a year. We like to stay in cabins with views, and this cabin does have the views exactly as depicted. The cabin was neat, uncluttered and clean! The cabin is located close to nearby towns, an Ingles grocery store and restaurants. But you are up the mountainside, and we didn't run out back and forth during the day. The gravel driveway is steep and narrow but since it is a private driveway, we didn't worry about passing vehicles and our Subaru Outback did just fine. We got up each day and left in the morning to hike and made our way back to the cabin before dark. We hiked the Tennessee Rock Trail at Black Rock Mountain State Park (GA); Secret Falls in Highlands; Scaly Mountain from the Osage Overlook; Whiteside Mountain Trail (all in NC) and the Tallulah Gorge State Park (GA). We ate one meal at the Dillard House Restaurant and prepared the rest of our meals in the cabin. The hosts were very responsive and helpful if needed, and you will find many thoughtful preparations/suggestions at the cabin. We enjoyed our stay and you will too.

Everything about this cottage was absolutely a dream come true! Immaculately clean. Great bedding and pillows! Well-appointed in every way! It was the perfect hideaway for being snowed-in with a great view of the mountains. The hosts were very responsive, communicative and friendly! The fire-pit was stocked with tons of firewood, kindling, and a little lean-to to stay dry from the snow. It is a hidden gem and we will be back!

The host was incredible with communication and working with us when we had an unexpected change in plans. The house was so beautiful, including the Christmas decorations! It was warm, inviting, and exceptionally clean. The host thought of small touches throughout the house that made it so relaxing. The firepit is a quaint area that is perfect for roasting hot dogs and marshmallows.The view was amazing, and the house is so convenient to Dillard and Clayton. We would most certainly stay there again!

Stop right here and quit reading Vrbo reviews just book this one before it’s too late! (Unless you’re thinking about the same week I am… in that case, this place stinks ) Perfect Peaceful Mountain Escape- Even My Homebody Husband Loved It! My husband hates taking off work, so family vacations are rare — and when we finally convince him, it has to be perfect! My daughter and I spent hours scrolling through listings. Our “home away from home” had to check every box: for my husband, close(ish) to home and very private; for my daughter, mountain views and a hot tub; for me, cute, clean, peaceful, and a good deal. This place met every requirement and then some. No hot tub, but she loved the firepit, string lights, and horseshoes instead. It was spotless, cozy, and thoughtfully stocked. We loved the books (especially Foxfire), the Lincoln Logs, the coffee/tea station, and the surprise waffle maker with mix. The host even provided shampoo, conditioner, body wash, Q-tips, and drinks. It was peaceful and exactly what we needed. My husband, who never wants to travel, said we could come back—and he’s already shared the link! Grab groceries before heading up; once you arrive, you won’t want to leave. Truly a five-star stay—relaxing, private, and everything we hoped for.

The cottage was immaculately clean and cozy. The hosts thought of every little detail. The view is beautiful, a rare find for a smaller cabin. We rented a truck with 4-wheel drive to get up there and I’m glad we did. The driveway is steep and made of gravel. But it’s worth it! The area around the cottage is flat, so parking is easy as is access to the fire pit. We have rented a few little cabins in the area and this was our favorite!
