Peaceful retreat

This was an amazing place stay. The location on a stream looking across to the meadow where we could deer playing in the mornings and evenings was enchanting. The sound of the water was relaxing and it was a great place to relax and unwind. We loved our stay.

Great stay. Relaxed to the sound of a babbling stream right behind the house and by watching deer in the meadow across the stream. Penny and Rick were great hosts.

Cozy creekside

This was our second stay and was just as wonderful as our first. It even rained 2 days and we didn't mind having to stay in at our cozy cabin and relax. Loved the cool "Fall" front that came through. We will definitely be back for another season to enjoy one of our favorite cabins.

Just Amazing

If you are looking for peace, quiet and seclusion you will find it all here. You are in close proximity to shops and restaurants. The accommodations were cozy and comfortable. For me, the selling point was the creek right outside the back door! We will definitely be making a return trip!!!

Beavers in the creek

Let's start with the most beautiful views of the river and mountain i have ever stayed at. My dad wife and i had an amazing time at the house. We had fires ate food and just relaxed. We saw deer almost every morning, plus a beaver swam up the creek rite in front of us it was definitely our favorite part because we never seen one in person. Highly recommend great location and close to restaurants and grocery .

Wonderful Creek

We absolutely loved our say at this cabin. It was so cozy and clean and the creek was amazing. The house sits just steps from the creek and is music to your ears . The cabin has everything you need to cook and enjoy meals in. It is also located in the perfect spot to enjoy hiking and waterfall trips or what ever you may want to do in the area. We will definitely recommend to friends and would love to return again to relax and enjoy this peaceful place.

Amazing Stay

We stayed over Memorial weekend for our babymoon and it could not have been more perfect. My husband enjoyed trout fishing in the creek, and I read along side him. Drinking tea on the porch listening to the creek was magical. The house was cozy and had everything we would need. The added bonus was it being so unplugged (no cell service or wifi) which allowed us to relax and just enjoy each others company.

Mountain Paradise

My husband, myself, and our youngest daughter (5) recently spent a wonderful week at this spectacular property. The cabin is lovely and so cozy complete with rocking chairs and outdoor eating space on the top porch and porch swings, a swinging bed, and outdoor shower on the lower porch. We enjoyed early morning on the porch, spent most of each day in the creek, only coming in to cook lunch, enjoyed dinners in town (Dillard & Clayton), fished at night until the sun went down and then cozied up in the cabin with only the screen doors shut so we could still hear the creek. It could not have been any better!

Creekside Paradise!

My husband, 5 month old daughter, and I stayed here to beat the Florida heat. The pictures on the web do not do this place justice. We were amazed at how secluded it was, how close to the creek it was, and how close it was to everything we wanted to do. The outdoor shower was probably our favorite part of the house. We will definitely be visiting this house again. Absolutely incredible! I recommend driving up Coweeta Lab Rd to see Mooney Falls, Pickens Nose, & Big Laurel Falls. Beautiful and not heavily trafficked.

Peaceful Retreat

The listing is exactly what you should expect, as well as the reviews. This “cabin by the creek” is cozy, clean, and well stocked. It is not fancy, but it feels like home the second you get there. The location is beautiful, remote, and situated directly on the creek. The sound of that water almost instantly relaxes you. The porches extend the living space. There is a washer and dryer and grills. The porch pallet bed wand hammock were perfect additions to an already peaceful retreat. We are a family of 4, with a teenage boy and pre-teen boy. They loved exploring everything. We made fires in the fire pit every evening, while enjoying the stars. There is no cell service or internet (there is a land line) and that was the best gift, because it gave us a chance to just enjoy each other as a family. The check in and checkout were super convenient. We were all sad to leave and we will stay again.

TROUBLE IN TRANQUILITY

I was very disappointed with the response from the management company in regards to a proper and fair compensation for the cost of my lodging. Unfortunately, due to the inclement weather my family and I was unable to check in. Per the advise of VRBO, I reached out to the property manager and we were unable to reach a compromise. I would have appreciated some kind gesture of empathy. However, after several attempts from management “I was advised that they can’t control the weather”. I acknowledged the fact that I didn’t have travel insurance and indeed I learned a valuable lesson. I am not asking for a refund however I would like to have a credit of the amount spent to use towards a future stay at the cabin. I would even be okay if the cleaning fee was deducted although my family was unable to check in. A little flexible is all that I am requesting, it is such a beautiful place and I look forward to the opportunity to visit in the near future.

About the host

Your host

WE, Rick and Penny Sellers, live on this same road. We love the outdoors and all nature has to offer. Rick is a builder and commercial property owner, Penny a hairdresser and outdoor enthusiast.

Why they chose this property

This location is a walk through the woods to our home. It was built in the 1970's and was a part time summer home for the previous owners. When they became too elderly to attend to it we were able to purchase it so that it would adjoin our property. The cottage sits just feet away from the creek and you can no longer build a structure this close to the water anymore.

What makes this property unique

The privacy makes this location perfect for a romantic getaway or honeymoon. A great way for a small family to reconnect to each other and nature. The quiet and serenity that it offers naturally is unsurpassed.
