ABOUT OUR SPACE
Experience the art of "Shinrin-Yoku" (Forest Bathing) at our unique mountain refuge. Nestled at the base of Glassy Mountain and backing up to 10,000 acres of Chattahoochee National Forest, this 700 sq. ft. converted farmhouse is the ultimate zen sanctuary. From a private waterfall to a yoga deck perched 40 feet in the canopy, nature isn't just a view here—it’s the main attraction.
✨ THE ZEN HIGHLIGHTS:
🌊 Private Waterfall: A seasonal 5-foot plunge waterfall just steps from the back door. It runs most of the winter, spring, and after rainfall.
💤 Timber-Framed Sleeping Porch: "Glamping" at its finest with a tin roof. Futon mattress, and mosquito netting.
🚿 Forest Shower: An invigorating, cold-water outdoor shower tucked in the trees.
🍷 Wine Country: A stone’s throw from Stonewall Creek Vineyard & Tiger Mountain Wineries.
💰 Transparent Pricing: The price you see is the price you pay. No hidden cleaning or service fees.

The Farmhouse Kitchen:
Fully equipped for meal prep and featuring a Nespresso machine stocked with Starbucks pods.
The Soaking Tub:
The cottage features a classic cast iron tub and hotel-quality linens (please note: the bathroom was a modern addition to this historic structure!).
The Loft (Our Favorite Room):
A romantic retreat with a platform bed positioned under a skylight for midnight stargazing. Includes a TV/DVD player for cozy evenings.
Sleeping Arrangements: 1 Double Bed (Bedroom), 1 Twin Platform Bed (Loft), and 1 Full-size Futon (Living Room).
THE EXPERIENCE: Forest Bathing & Adventure
As avid kayakers and mountain bikers we envisioned this property as a basecamp for both deep relaxation and epic adventure.
Relax:
Spend a quiet afternoon reading, napping, or just listening to the wind in the trees and birdsong from the sleeping porch. Enjoy the fire pit at the top of the meadow to watch the sunset over Glassy Mountain.
Explore:
10 minutes to White Twister & Stonewall Creek mountain bike trails. 20-30 minutes to world-class whitewater rafting on the Chattooga River, boating on Lake Burton/Lake Rabun, tons of hiking,and elite fly-fishing. Pick wild blackberries and blueberries in the meadow or cross the log bridge over the clearwater creek and forage for chanterelles.
Dine:
15 minutes to historic downtown Clayton for fine dining at Fortify, Stekoa Creek, Rabun Social or live music and beers at Universal Joint.
Guest Notes & Connectivity
Size: The cabin is a cozy 700 sq. ft. While it accommodates 4, it is most comfortable for those who enjoy spending time in our many outdoor spaces: whether on the front porch, the sleeping porch, or in the meadow.
Connectivity: We offer fast WIFI that reaches most of the property, making this an ideal "Work-from-Nature" retreat.
The Woods: You are in the heart of the forest. You will hear crickets, rain on the tin roof, the occasional coyote, and see deer, rabbits, and sometimes foxes . It is remarkably quiet and very dark at night—the stars sparkling like diamonds.
