About this property

Hunker Down" Creek Front Cabin, In The Blue Ridge Mountains

A delightful home with history and a noisy trout stream just outside your door! This two bedroom, three and a half bath home holds two bedrooms with king size beds plus a futon in the loft as well as a jetted tub in the master suite and a hot tub for four on the back deck. With three porches - two of them overlooking Brasstown Creek - there are plenty of places outside to enjoy the views and mountain air.

You will find rocking chairs and porch swings on two of the porches along with additional seating by a chimney and stone fire pit near the creek. While outside, be sure to notice the old stagecoach road that runs through the property near the creek. This road runs from Young Harris to Murphy, North Carolina and was packed so tightly, no trees grow on this old road.
The home is well equipped with all of the cooking appliances you should need to prepare your meals in the beautiful kitchen with stainless steel appliances and granite counter tops. You will find entertainment easy with a 42" flat screen television with DVD/VCR in the living room plus a television in each bedroom and one in the loft. Cable and internet as well as phone service are all included.

This home is conveniently located in Young Harris - only ten minutes or less from Brasstown Valley Resort, The Ridges Resort and Marina, Lake Chatuge and Hiawassee. Crane Creek Vineyard is only about six minutes away and there are many other areas of interest nearby.

Nice weekend getaway

We enjoyed our stay at Hunker Down. The hottub and stream were very relaxing. Only downside was that we couldn't figure out any of the tvs and couldn't watch the Georgia game.

Great for families or couples

House is very beautiful and peaceful. Super quiet, zero distractions, comfy beds, hot water and just overall nice. We were coming as a family but eneded up just being me and my wife. House is a little much for just the two of us we never even went to the 3rd floor but we wanted a king bed. The home did not disappoint. Everymorning we ended up outside for about 2 hours listening to creek and forgot how the time passed. Our only issue which wasnt really a home issue was the driveway which was a little hairy to traverse luckily we brought a truck instead of our car. Me and my wife were very pleased with home. We even starting planning the next trip back with more family and start looking at property for ourselves

Absolutely perfect

I took my three grown sons to the cabin just to reconnect and enjoy some time together just the four of us which we haven’t done since they were kids. A challenge because they each lives in a different state. The directions were spot on. It is beautiful on the outside and I was very pleased with the inside. The cabin was spotless. The view from the decks are amazing. We cooked out as well as spent a lot of time at the creek there is a fire pit at the water. The water was cold but we got in and it was nice to see them enjoy themselves and no cell phones required. T here is a hot tub and a pool table which we enjoyed as well. I think we all wanted to stay longer. We decided to do this every year right here. I have nothing but good things to say about staying here. I look forward to it next year!

So peaceful and relaxing.

Loved the stay. The pool table was warped so we didn't get to use it but overall we had such a great time. The views were so beautiful! The creek was beautiful and peaceful. We were 30 mins from great trails and falls. I would recommend this cabin to anyone with children, this cabin got my teenagers off of there phones. Thank you so much for a wonderful vacation!

Lovely Anniversary Weekend.

Our stay was very nice. It had a great location for driving to Hiawassee and Helen. Beautiful views in the morning looking out at the creek. Very cozy bed and loved the living room and hot tub! Would definitely stay at Hunker Down a second or third time.

The cabin was very pretty and nicely kept! The heat was a little funky in the master bedroom and the driveway is not made for any car low to the ground but overall it was a great location and we really loved it! The unfinished basement with all the games was definitely a nice plus as well!

Relaxing Getaway

This is a great property near a nice lakeside town. Being beside the creek was so relaxing with everything we needed right on the property. Checking in and out was seamless, the home was clean and comfortable, and it was easy to get to without a 4WD/AWD. Thanks for sharing your home!

Girl's trip

Great time with friends with a little cabin in the woods. The creek just below us was extra special, listening to the flow of the creek from the porch. We made a short drive to both Hiawasee and Blairsville. Just a very relaxing getaway!

Peace by the creek

We loved this beautiful cabin by the creek. We enjoyed sitting on the deck and on the dock. We were surrounded by trees, and I could imagine how beautiful it would be in the fall. Everything we needed was on the main level. The location was good, although we only left once during our three day weekend. We would love to rebt Hunker Down again!

Fantastic mountain cabin

This was an amazing place to stay for our family getaway. The home is amazingly clean and comfortable. We had everything we needed from cozy beds and linens to kitchen ware. The ac and WiFi worked great. The cabin is nestled in the woods with a view of the river from the house. We didn’t make it down to the river but there was a wonderful deck right next to the water. We enjoyed the ping pong table and pool table on the lower level. You will immediately see the attention to detail and care the owners have taken to ensure a pleasant and comfortable stay. Highly recommend!

Peaceful retreat

The property is tucked away with trees surrounding it. Our favorite part was the deck right by the creek, we'd spend the morning drinking our coffee and evening having a pre-dinner drink. Great for groups plenty of room for the 4 of us. I would say the only suggestion I'd make is it's time to replace the hot tub, it's usable but it's seen better days.

Happiness is....

Wow. My sons and I first came here last year and we fell in love with the cabin and All of my sons are grown and in college in three different states and we had such a good time together we want to do it next year. It is a beautiful peaceful cabin and has a deck at the water where we have a fire and they don't even hold a phone! This year my middle son found a place for us to get in rafts and come down to the cabin. The water is not deep but we had a good time.! We rode horses the next day Next year is boating. Then we come back and relax cook something on the grill they actually cook for me for the time we are there lol! My sons are 34, 24 and 19. I love making these great memories with them. And the hot tub comes in handy after riding a horse or following a very rocky raft ride. The description of the cabin is very accurate and the owner has been very easy to communicate with. We will be back next year. Also I looked a month to compare prices and for this price it has more to offer than ones that cost twice as much. Thank you for the honey we had it with breakfast. So whether you want to just hang out or are looking for things to do this is a
