Rushing Creek, Private Haven, Children's Paradise, Enchanted playground

Unleash the magic of nature at our charming mountain cabin, a dream vacation home nestled on the tranquil banks of a delightful babbling creek. Located in the heart of the mountains in a sanctuary of majestic Hemlock trees. This property offers a serene sanctuary that will transport you and your family to a world of peace, relaxation, and adventure.

Imagine waking up to the babbling brook and the sun gently peaking over the mountain. Our cabin is a paradise for children, providing endless opportunities for them to splash in the shallow creek waters, explore nature, and make S’mores by the campfire. Create lifelong memories. Unlimited places to explore the serene, lush mountain hollows.

The creek is not just any ordinary water body. It's a playground for your little ones, a fairytale setting where they can wade around and go on a mini adventure. Safe and accessible, it's a dream come true for every child! The cabin and especially the creek is our grandkids’ “favorite place in the world!”

Everything imaginable is here. A private valley among the majestic hemlocks set the mood of being nestled away. Nearly a quarter mile of cascading creek winds through these 5 acres. This is the place to escape the stresses of life. You’ll go home with a “new lease on life.” This log cabin sits just 20 feet from the water’s edge in the bend of Vandergriff Creek. Feel like a king in the massive log bed of the master suite with a private porch. Crack the door and be lulled to sleep by the babbling waters. Coffee in the swing will set your pace for a relaxing day. Lots of old-school fun: darts, horseshoes, hiking, and the swing.

Three bedrooms all on one floor make it easy. The loft with 3 twin beds is an added bonus. Lots of space in 2,200 sq. feet. Grill like a master chef on the big green egg. All you need is the steaks. Everything is here. The kitchen is equipped just like home. Connect with Wifi, Netflix, and Direct TV on a new 55” Samsung TV. Or escape completely relaxing under the hemlocks – probably why you came. Try a fire under the stars at the outdoor fire pit. Lots to do nearby. World-class trout streams nearby. Head out to Tube or kayak the Cartecay or Toccoa Rivers. The Appalachian and Benton-MacKaye trails are not far. And nobody should come to the mountains without seeing Amicalola Falls 25 minutes away. Adorable Ellijay has lots of good restaurants - also 25 minutes away. And paved roads all the way to the cabin.

Whether you're looking for a peaceful retreat, a fun-filled vacation, or a mix of both, our mountain cabin is the perfect destination. Create precious family moments at our mountain cabin. Your kids will never forget it, ours don’t.

We loved our stay! This place was recommended to us by a previous guest and it did not disappoint! The owner was fast to reply and the cabin was clean and spacious. We live in atlanta and we are thinking of making this a yearly trip!

Another Fantastic Stay
This was our second stay at the cabin. Once again, it did not disappoint. Our goal was to escape the heat of FL and just relax. We did exactly that...the kids played and floated in the creek, we grilled out, and enjoyed time around the campfire. We cooked all of our meals at the cabin and had everything we could have needed in the kitchen. If you are looking for a place that is a bit more removed from town to relax and unwind as you listen to the bubble of the creek this location is ideal!

Another perfect stay
This is year two for our family at this property and we felt right at home. The house was clean and supplied as it should be. Plenty of towels and wash clothes and extra blankets and pillows. Everything you need in the kitchen, unless you are going to cook something special and need something very specific. It was in the 80’s and 90’s but it never feels that way here because of all the tree coverage. My kids spent most of the time on property looking for creatures under the rocks and playing in the creek. They are so content here and never want to be inside. We had two afternoons where it rained but there are plenty of games and puzzles to keep you occupied. We even watched a movie on the smart tv. The only complaint I have is that 5 days were not enough. Don’t think twice about booking this property.

Beautiful and peaceful
We love this property. It’s the second time we’ve stayed there, and perfect for kids! Our 5 year old son loved playing in the creek. The cabin is comfortable and cozy. Always very clean and welcoming. The creek, fire pit, screened in patio and back porch with the green egg are just perfect for an amazing and relaxing vacation. Can’t say enough good things about this cabin. Cathy, the owner, is great and easy to communicate with.

My son and I had a wonderful father son weekend. We played in the Creek and basked in the wilderness tranquility. It is a beautiful property and it is very well represented in the listing. We had a ball and we definitely plan to return again this summer!

Can’t wait to go back!
We loved it so much the first time that we came back! The cabin is perfect! Cathy has stocked it with everything you’ll need. The creek and surrounding area is so peaceful. The drive from the main road is a little scary but totally worth it when you see the cabin. I’d recommend a truck though not necessary. Cathy, thanks for sharing this wonderful place. We can’t wait to go back!
