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,...

French Secret in McCaysville Ga

Beautiful, clean, well maintained property that truly lives up to its promise of transporting you to Paris. Great romantic get away! Note: the walk from the car to the cottage is a downhill, unpaved path that can be difficult for some, but we had no issues with this. It is close to the main st of town for shops and food. Highly recommend this place, and we hope to return!

Absolutely Amazing!

We booked this cabin for my birthday. It was beautiful and something out of a movie. I highly recommend staying here the hosts were the sweetest and most kind people. During our stay we were snowed in and unable to leave, they allowed us extra time to be able to get out and it meant the world to us. Thank you so much for allowing us to stay in your piece of France!

Phenomenal property!

I found the French Connection while searching for a place to get away for a "mental health retreat" and it did not disappoint at all!! The peace and solitude it offered was exactly what I needed! I returned to my business refreshed and revived!! Will book again....as soon as I can get away again!! Thank you sooooo much!

Quiet get away

I will say that the photos don’t do the cottage justice. The bed was very comfortable although it needed a quilt under the comforter. The pillows were soft. The coffee bar was great. And it was absolutely charming! Thank you for thinking of everything!

Valentine Getaway

My wife and I embarked on a romantic adventure to this delightful VRBO cabin that felt like a hidden gem straight out of a French countryside postcard. Nestled among trees, the cabin instantly transported us to a world of rustic elegance and cozy vibes.As soon as we stepped inside, we were greeted by charming French decor—think vintage chandeliers, delicate curtains, and a stunning collection of art that made us feel like we were in a Parisian apartment rather than a cabin in the woods. The warm, inviting atmosphere was perfect for snuggling up with a glass of wine. And let’s not forget the stunning views! The large windows framed the landscape like a painting, making every moment feel like a scene from a French film. In short, this cabin was the perfect blend of cozy comfort and French flair—a magical escape that rekindled our love and gave us a much-needed break from the daily grind. We left with our hearts full, already dreaming of our next visit! 10/10 would recommend for a romantic getaway!

An Amazing Place

As stated by another reviewer, the photos do not do this place justice, at all. This rental is beautifully appointed and feels airy and spacious. There are many gorgeous small touches to discover, which makes being there a real treat. The tub is huge and perfect, with a beautiful view of trees out of the window. The hot water is plentiful and does not run out before the tub has filled. The kitchen is beautiful as well, with so much natural light flooding the entire space. The bed is comfortable and large. The coffee setup was excellent as well, as the Nespresso machine made me the best coffee I've ever had and I fully plan to buy one for my home. The best feature of this place for me was location. It is a 5 minute drive into downtown Copperhill, TN, and 15 minutes to Blue Ridge. The road it's located on has other homes and rentals, however the cabin is placed so that your view of those other homes is obscured by the hillside and foliage, increasing a sense of privacy without feeling secluded (helpful for me, as I was alone). I intend to return to this rental as much as I can!
