This lovely cabin was clean and so cute. Perfect for the girls weekend. The beds were super comfortable as well and the hosts checked in to make sure all was to our expectations. They had everything we needed and more. 😊 I will definitely visit again.

Fall Colors

Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We had amazing views of the fall colors on the property, the leaves dropping in the lake, and the surrounding areas. The location is good for access to many parks, trails, and waterfalls. Fortunately, the recent hurricanes did no apparent damage to any of the nearby areas. We travelled with friends, a close couple we have known for years. We all enjoyed a night around the fire pit. Chuck and Donna were responsive to our request for another hair dryer, as there was only 1 available. The only issue we had was that the upstairs loft area is not very private, and can be seen from below. Lights and sound from the living room and kitchen area can affect sleeping. The loft is probably better for families with children rather than for another couple.

Wonderful gem of a cabin

The location was central to all the things we wanted to do (apple picking, trails/falls, scenic drive, and Octoberfest). While our GPS had us taking the dirt path (back access road) there, it wasn't located so off the beaten path that we got lost. The cabin is situated on a corner lot with the main living room windows facing the lake-so idyllic. There is a back porch that also faces the lake (with a porch swing), that we sat around in the evening and morning hours. A short walk away is a small river that is easily accessible. The cabin itself is well appointed with endearing black bears and pine tree theme throughout. My youngest loved all the stuffed black bear plushies sitting around the cabin. There were lots of complimentary family games/boards in the family room including a ping pong table (we did not use). We did enjoy the electric fireplace in the living room, and the fire pit outside for roasting marshmallows. I greatly appreciated a fully equipped kitchen for our family meals. And last but not least the hosts Donna & Chuck are wonderful people! They are so thoughtful. They laid out some granola snack bars, brownies, water bottles and even jumbo marshmallows for our family knowing we were looking forward to roasting marshmallows with our two young children. The marshmallows were the highlight of the cabin experience for our children. We were very pleased with our stay here, and would do so again if in the area. Thank you Donna & Chuck for sharing your lovely cabin.

Upscale Cabin

Perfect place for our family and dogs to get away from the noise of the city! Donna and Chuck are the perfect hosts! We loved sitting in the screened in porch and listening to the birds, the wind rustling through the trees and the calmness of the pond. Followed up by laughter as we tried to play ping pong on a much smaller scale :-) Just what we needed! Thanks so much! We will definitely be back!

Week in Blairsville

The next trip to Blairsville this is the cabin will lease for my visit again. Donna and Chuck were wonderful people and made sure you had everything you need for a great stay. The Cabin was very well maintained inside an out. You will not find a cleaner place to stay. The area was very peaceful and relaxing had no issue getting a good night sleep. We had a wonderful stay and the Cabin was a big part of it. Again Thank you Donna and Chuck for sharing your House.

Cabin on a pond

This is a nice home in a very quiet neighborhood. There is a pond, but swimming and fishing are discouraged. The home is very nice and comfortable with a large grassy yard. The hosts are very nice and very responsive. Overall, a wonderful experience. Blairsville is a quiet town with wonderful hiking nearby. Best restaurant is Jim's Smoking Que just down the road. Excellent barbeque, fast service, friendly. Doesn't accept tips because they pay a living wage. Instead donate to their charity of the month.

Five Star Experience

This was our second time staying at The Cozy Nest, and we will absolutely return in the future. The hosts communicated everything clearly, from booking to days leading up to our stay, all the way through our check out and return home. Donna and Chuck care so much about ensuring that their guests have the absolute best experience, and their attention to detail is terrific. Our two sons and our miniature schnauzer always have the best time at this property, and my wife and I have found that it has everything we need to have a relaxing vacation. Thank you for another wonderful stay!

Wonderful Thanksgiving getaway

The house was just as beautiful as described on the internet. The furnishings were upscale and very well maintained. Everything was furnished with great attention to detail. To our surprise, snacks were provided for our arrival and a bed, towels, treats etc. were also provided for the dog. We felt very welcome and comfortable. Communication with the hosts was very easy and very warm. If it wasn't so far away from us we would like to come more often!

Cozy Nest is Perfection!

This is our second stay at the Cozy Nest & we were very pleased! We had delicious “homemade goodies” waiting on the bar for us. The beds are so comfortable & the cabin is immaculate. It is a home away from home. We loved drinking coffee on the back porch swing. Played ping pong & checkers in the game room. The dogs even had treats from Donna & Chuck! Then spent the evening by the gas fire place watching tv. Donna & Chuck called to check on us. The Cozy Nest is Perfection & we loved staying here!

The cabin is located in a secluded nice, and quiet neighborhood with other cabins on acre(+) lots. Looking out the living room windows you see the pond with a beautiful view of the mountains. Property owners, Chuck and Donna, thought of everything for your stay and they are a phone call or text away of anything you may need. The cabin was clean and roomy. Whether you’re there to relax or visit nearby towns you’ll fall in love with the cabin. We will definitely return to the cabin!

Awesome Possum

The place was beautiful and extremely clean. No steep inclines or dirt roads. Nice neighborhood with very friendly neighbors. Property sits on a pond and near a rapid creek where people go tubing. The Hosts were Awesome and very helpful. They have great attention to detail. the place is roomy with modern appliances. We hated to leave. Very close to Helen, Hiawassee, Blairsville and Young Harris. Its a true gem. We also got to see our first Bear. It was about 5 miles from the cabin but still counts. Our Puppies enjoyed the dog bed and dog treats the Hosts left. Great Vacation.

About the host

Hosted by Donna & Chuck

Host profile image
Originally from Florida, we have been visiting the beautiful area of Blairsville for the past 17 years. As a past Wildlife Rehabilitator I love all the opportunities that are here to view the local abundant wildlife. Now that we are retired, we very much enjoy hosting and getting to meet and greet our guests, and do all we can to ensure they have a memorable stay.

Why they chose this property

The first time we visited this area we fell in love with the the cabin village of Choestoe.The name Choestoe is an Indian word which means "Land of the dancing rabbits". The nearby adorable cabins of the village give a sense of community.
When this cabin became available we jumped on it. We love the soaring ceilings, the pine tree cutouts on the bannisters, the all wood interior, the unique master bedroom headboard, the gazebo, the beautiful pond view and the fact that it is just 5 minutes from us!

What makes this property unique

The unique character of the Cozy Nest is what makes it special. We also love the property itself with the charming gazebo and cozy firepit, the private dock on the sparkling pond, the cute garden decorations, and the relaxing swings on both the porch and front yard.
