Peaceful, relaxing, spacious quiet place out in the country and a great break from the big city. The spring water is fantastic, probably the best spring water I've had in the US.

The property manager was very helpful with any issues we had and quick to respond, even when the issue was something we just overlooked. We enjoyed the house and the outdoor deck is amazing. We also love the amazing walk-in bathroom. If you are looking for a great and spacious place to stay near Taccoa Falls College then I highly recommend staying herw.

The property was great. Plenty of room/space. Loved the rustic feel it had. Back porch/patio was huge along with a big open yard. Also a very cool loft area especially for younger kids. Close to boat ramps as well as Toccoa and Lavonia. Would definitely stay here again.

Awesome place to relax…

I spent 12 amazing days at the cabin. It was so peaceful. You aren’t far from Seneca or Clemson, if you’re looking for things to do. But the cabin provides enough necessities that you won’t need to leave. Plenty of room for everyone to spread out. A beautiful cabin with an old fashioned feel along with modern amenities. And the host was absolutely lovely! Definitely recommend.

We decided to take a last minute trip to Georgia and booked this cabin the day before we left. It was short two day trip but it was one of our favorites so far. The cabin is beautiful and the property is just as beautiful. We had 3 adults, 2 teens, 3 young kids, and a dog... The house suited all of us perfectly! We will definitely be back for a longer stay!
