It was cozy. Nice getaway. Love watching the birds at the bird feeder. Love walking in the woods to the little water fall and love walking down to see the little Tennessee river. It was nice to seat in side with the door open.

Peaceful Retreat

The property was a great opportunity for my wife and I to escape from work and enjoy the tranquility of the mountains. We explored several parks in Georgia and kayaked multiple times on lake Emory in Franklin. We also visited lake Glenville and Cherokee. This is a good quiet pace for a couple to relax and also explore the area.The owners are very nice and knowledgeable of the area.

Felt like home 🏠

We absolutely loved our stay. This cozy cottage had very personal touches and warm welcomes added. Our host Carman added fresh-cut flowers and made us feel most welcome. We thoroughly enjoyed the Mountain View and birds from the porch. The nearby trails and creeks were an added bonus. We cannot wait to come back to this special gem!

Wonderful Place for a Weekend Get-A-Way

Had a great time during our long weekend vacation. The cabin has all of the utensils and appliances for your kitchen needs. Just stop at the supermarket down the road and your set. Only wish that the cabin was less cluttered with the owners personal items which takes up a fair amount of storage space.

Perfect Mountain Getaway

Carmen and Jim are amazing! Communication was top notch, private setting, and perfect size for the two of us. We used the kitchen for dinners and it had everything we needed. The bed was very comfortable, and the porch was a nice place to relax after hiking all day and chasing waterfalls throughout the tristates of GA, NC and SC! Thanks for the memories!

Great getaway for couples

We enjoyed staying in this lovely little cottage! It was clean and well supplied with extras throughout the house. The cake and fresh flowers from their garden was just extra special! The owners are super nice people who give you all the privacy that you want, but are right there if you should need anything (which we didn't). The walk to the waterfall with the swing beside it is short and not grown up at all. Very pretty! The only TV is in the bedroom, so we relaxed a lot! The only thing I missed was a ceiling fan that I am used to at home, but the chandelier in the bedroom is so pretty. We would definitely recommend this cabin for couples! It's private and quiet with a pretty view and a wonderful front porch! What more would you want??

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at this delightful cottage! It was a welcome haven from the busy world, and especially restful because it was exactly as described and actually even better. It was the tiny things like the Phillips head screwdriver and the flathead screwdriver in the kitchen that just spoke to how well Carman took care of her guests.We’re delighted to have this retreat on our radar now.

Great week in the mountains!

The cottage is spotless, cozy, and comfortable. The special touches of fresh flowers and delicious pound cake were over the top! Mountain views from the front porch rockers, watching birds and hummingbirds frequenting the feeders, and the sound of the river below are awesome! Jim and Carman are gracious hosts and just good folks, who bend over backwards to take care of their guest. There are trails and waterfalls right on the property, and plenty of things to do in the area. We look forward to coming back again! Thank you Jim and Carman!

Anniversary Gateway

This is a beautiful little cottage, perfect if you are looking to get the true feelings of mountain life. It is secluded, you will not see or hear any neighbors or other noise but the birds singing, yet it is close to the main road. We were given directions over the phone by the owners and arrived safely to the cottage. Upon arrival there were fresh cut flowers, a dessert and since we were celebrating our wedding anniversary, a bottle of chilled sparkling wine. Everything was very clean and neat, extra attention to detail was shown everywhere. Mountain views from the living room and bedroom, a spectacle of birds feeding and singing in the porch while having our morning coffee on the rocking chairs. Hike right there to the woods and creek behind the cottage. Quiet, beautiful sunset views right from the porch. Internet connection was very good Anyway, it was lovely!! Perfect if you are looking for secluded, quiet, vintage, enjoy nature, hikes, birds watching and swings.
