Charming Cabin

The property was lovely. Lots of good space in the home and good exterior space as well. Our kids 6, 4 and 1 had a absolute ball in the upstairs loft and in the backyard with the creek.

Great Memories Made

We enjoyed spending time with our adult children and grand child in your rustic and historical but very well updated cabin. We loved all the extra touches (Christmas decor, laundry, toiletries, blankets, and kitchen supplies). It was nice to slow down and have some good old fashioned fun playing games and doing puzzles.

Thanksgiving 2024

We came here to spend Thanksgiving with our son who is in school nearby. We had a nice and relaxing time! The beds are very comfortable & the large deck and yard were perfect for spending time outdoors. We brought our dog and she was very comfortable in the yard

Lovely and Quaint

The pictures are nice but the property looks better in person. We loved the house with the exception of the draftiness in the living room area. I think if there was a to close it off from the hallway, that it would stay warmer. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would stay there again.

About the host

Host profile image
Lifelong Georgians from the mountain region!

We enjoy sharing the rustic charm of our property with our guests and learning what brought them to the area. We especially appreciate feedback and love when guests share the glimpses of memories they made while staying at the Bee & Barb Farmhouse.

Why they chose this property

The area is serene and abundant with natural beauty, friendly people, and loads to do for those who like to get out and adventure. But the property is a haven all its own!

What makes this property unique

The Bee & Barb is an historic property — the original footprint built in the 1850s. We enjoy the history of it and worked hard to preserve it while bringing in modern day comforts. It offers a rustic charm that we absolutely love and love to share! It’s the perfect place to getaway, unplug, and enjoy life!
