Fabulous wedding in October! In late 2024, we went out on a limb, sight unseen and booked the…read moreCherokee Mountain Cabins for our daughters wedding. The Bride and Groom were looking for a small, outdoor experience that was more than just "show up for 4 hours". In totality, we booked 11 cabins for a weekend of fun and laughter. Not a single complaint from any of the wedding guests. We were able to use the Nite Owl to host both a dinner the night prior, and a brunch the day after. We used the Pavilion for the wedding itself. The weather was fantastic, and the beauty of the property along the stream was serene! The staff leading up to the wedding and the weekend of were responsive and flexible. While we decided to limit the rentals on amenities, and as expected we forgot a couple of small items which the staff in the moment quickly supplied. Additionally, the business we hired for hair and makeup, late the night before the wedding cancelled on us....the concierge scrambled for us the morning of to find a replacement. I would highly recommend this location not just for a vacation getaway, but any small to medium event you and looking to plan!

**Rafting review** I…read moremade the reservation online which was super simple to do. When we got there, it was easy to check-in. You then get a quick review about how to raft, plus you get fitted with a personal flotation device, and get a paddle We did a guided ride down the 2-3 lower rapids since we had 4 kids with us. Our guide was Cookie and I HIGHLY, like VERY VERY HIGHLY RECOMMEND you ask for if you go on a guided ride. He was amazing which I will get to in a bit. The bus ride to the top of the water a quick one. Every helps carry the raft down to the water's edge. Cookie was our guide. He was amazing! Seriously he let the kids "take the lead" and they really enjoyed all of the conversations with him. We were all laughing on the trip. He taught us how to do spins in the tube and really tried to get the kids wet since you know that's what they wanted. The kids even wanted him to hang out with us afterwards. We did a Friday afternoon which was great because the water wasn't too busy. When we drove by on Saturday, the parking lot was PACKED! You are going to want to wear shoes that can get wet and comfy clothes. Don't worry about bringing your phone. You won't have time to use it. Bring money to TIP the bus driver and your guide. They deserve it!! We will definitely be doing this trip again during our next visit.

This was my first time here and nerve-wrecking, but we were here for the birthday girl's 50th…read morebirthday wish. Half of us ladies had never done white water rafting before. There were 2 guides for our crew with 2 different rafts. Jeremy helped trained us on how to raft and what to do if we or someone were to fall. Our raft had Jeremy and our friends had the other guide, Dale (an older gentleman). Jeremy was awesome! He helped give us a brief history of all the landmarks and even popped a few corny jokes here and there. I felt like we were the fun raft b/c the other raft seemed very quiet. Heard from the other ladies later on that they didn't have any brief history commentaries and Dale didn't really converse with them unless he was asked a question. So glad we got Jeremy...stating so, we were extra super glad we had him b/c our friend fell off the raft!!! She couldn't swim either and due to the way the currents were, she had to glide down with the water while we quickly move the raft to where she was. Everything we learned went out the door. Jeremy dropped her once or twice while the rest of us were hit with thick tree branches, breaking them with our backs, heads, and ears...it was scary, but Jeremy saved the day and was able to safely pull our friend back into the raft. It was very scary and honestly, I will never white water raft again even though our guide was a professional and awesome. I never wanted to do it and this would be the last time. With our last "bump" before the end of the river, I fell off my seat into the raft and couldn't even get back up. Yep, no more for me, but thank you to Jeremy and Carolina Outfitters for an experience never to forget! You're a cutie, but nope, not for me :P

It's sooooooo cozy and cute in here - I don't actually ever want to leave. You're secluded but also close to town for anything you need. ALL supplies you need are all here which is awesome. The owner called us to see how we were doing and to make sure we are enjoying our stay. I could go on and on but for real, and for a reasonable price, come stay here and experience the awesome yourself

Our stay at The Bear Affair was truly an affair to remember! I was lucky to accompany a friend on a…read morelast minute trip to Georgia and our stay was greatly improved by the amazing accommodations at this adorable cabin. I was worried it might be too small, but it was just right! I stayed in the loft bedroom's king sized bed and my friend stayed on the queen sized sleeper sofa downstairs. We had perfect timing and got to see the leaves changing color and enjoy the cool weather (being from South Florida these are both unusual!) We cooked some of our meals at the cabin in the well-stocked kitchen. There is a full fridge, stove/oven and a full set of dishes, glasses, cooking utensils and silverware. It got cold enough that we made hot apple cider and lit the wood burning fireplace. It was also nice to have the hot tub to soak in after a day out on the town in the cold. The nearby town of Helen is an adorable Bavarian Alpine Village with great little shops and restaurants. We also drove to nearby Dahlonega to check out the shops and artists there. We were able to go horseback riding at the Sunburst Stables in Clarkesville and we also took a trip to the North Georgia Zoo in Cleveland - I highly recommend both! I can't wait to come back in the summer to enjoy some more outdoor activities like tubing on the Chattahoochee River or boating on Unicoi Lake at Unicoi State Park.

Overall it was a great cabin and a great experience. Below I'm going to break it down into facts I wish I knew and then some pros and cons. What I wish I would have known: -WiFi is included only if you pick up a device from the office. It was in the instructions but was overlooked by us.We opted not to get it and with Sprint our phones were basically paperweights so be prepared with maps, hikes etc beforehand -The road in the community to get to the cabin was crazy. Very narrow, on cliffs, steep etc. so hopefully you bring a solid car with a little power -The road in our GPS gave us was actually the famous Devil's Tail. Again, steep, constant sharp turns and cliffs. The 30 mile stretch takes like an hour and a half. It's pretty for 5 minutes but then gets old really quick so if you can avoid it I would. Pros -bed was insanely comfortable -cabin was stocked well with most things you would need to cook etc -very clean and well taken care of it looks like -nice and private property Cons -hot tub had LF error on the last night so when we went to get in after going out to dinner it was stuck at 84 degrees. You have a number to call after hours but since it wasn't an emergency I just left a voicemail. I never got a call back and we have since checked out. Bummer because the hot tub was actually a deciding factor for why we chose this over another rental and also not sure why nobody even bothered to reach out at all afterward. -water pressure in shower was low, kind of pees on your head -wood for the fireplace is stored uncovered essentially so it was soaked through and practically not usable. We had to go buy some dry word to start with.

We stayed at Rocky Creek Cottage and despite what their website says it is NOT motorcycle friendly…read more From trying to enter the gate code on an incline while balancing the bike to the EXTREMELY steep inclined driveway, this place was NOT motorcycle friendly. The living room only had a couch and a chair which could not seat all 6 in our party. The chairs at the dining room table were worn out and uncomfortable. The master bed was not comfortable and creeked & groaned with each little movement. The hot tub was half full. Overall, not a good experience. And again, IT WAS NOT MOTORCYCLE FRIENDLY!!!

For each trip, we have spent three full days and we have yet to eat out at a restaurant since I love to cook and the kitchen is pretty well appointed at Stecoah Cabin.

Well deserved, but I hope we still have our sweet hide-away and it doesn't get too hard to reserve or expensive by demand.

It's only about a 2hr drive from where I am but there was a bit of traffic getting out of atlanta on a wed afternoon when we left so we didn't get in till dark. I called to say we might miss the office check in hours (till 6pm) so they kindly left the key in the cabin for us for whenever we arrived which was very helpful. The rooms were clean and kitchen and bathroom had pretty much everything you needed. We also utilized the charcoal grill. Only complaint was the lighting was a tad dark during the night but maybe it's to help you relax. Loved the view of the lake from the cabin, it was beautiful to wake up to. We were also able to bring our dog for a $60 fee. House rule does say no dog on bed so keep that in mind. There was a little doggy station on site and we were able to walk him around the property to potty. He enjoyed his stay and we liked going to the nearby trials in the morning/afternoon for a hike. There's an ingles nearby as well as some other restaurants if you need food options like McDonald's, Dunkin, couple of Pizza chains, and whatever a small town typically has to offer. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

All needed kitchen utensils, appliances and housewares are available. A dishwasher and full-size washer and dryer round out everything needed for a longer stay. Did I mention the view? Start or finish the day on the back porch gazing at the mountains and Lake Chatuge. We are planning to be back during the summer to take advantage of the boat docks, on-site canoe rental, kids playhouse and a cool swim in the lake. Did I mention the staff? Everyone( Greg the owner, Jennifer the manager, Vicki and another young lady) made sure that our stay was comfortable

Group of 7 from Texas rented these cabins for a week to enjoy the local roads. WOW is all I can…read moresay. We fell in love instantly and enjoyed every moment at this cabin. We wish we could buy one for ourselves lol. The views aren't substantial, but the location was prime for reaching all of our destinations easily. This layout and floor plan easily accommodated all of us comfortably. If you are worried about space, don't even sweat it. I bet it could fit double with zero issues. All the amenities worked and Jeanette is so timely in responses and getting our needs met. There is something for everyone, seriously. The only bad thing you could possibly say is that the roads to get into the cabins is a bit confusing and a bit technical to drive with a full size truck and trailer. However, once you're in, you just hate to leave. I found at the end of every long day of riding, I was so happy to get to come home to Wildflower cabin #1 as my home. We checked in with friends who rented another cabin #7 and they raved about it as well. Look no further for your family lodging needs, this is the place you are looking for! =)
