About this property

Cozy And Quiet Retreat!

Tucked into the woods, off the beaten path--a perfect place to chill! All the amenities, including wifi, cable, washer/dryer, dishwasher, microwave and gas grill. 10 miles from Blue Ridge, GA. 3 miles from Ocoee River and whitewater rafting. Built by my son, it is not fancy, but very comfortable. A small creek runs through the property, with a firepit/sitting area nearby. One bed, one bath. No shower. Bed and bath are in the loft. New queen-sized bed with Beauty Rest mattress. A great retreat for couples, or for a writer/artist. Go hiking, biking, rafting, shopping, antiquing, fishing, sightseeing or to fairs and festivals during the day, then retreat to the peace and quiet of the rain forest! (Comfortable sofas accommodate 2 more, if needed.)

Sweet, cozy cabin

This little cabin is so cozy, with lots of personal touches that show it is well-loved. It's close to town but tucked away enough to feel like you're off by yourselves. Sheila was quick to respond snd gave great directions; check-in was easy! We would definitely stay here again.

Perfect quiet getaway

This cabin was exactly what we were looking for. And the weather was perfect. With such a busy schedule I was looking to get away with my dogs for some mommy. fur baby time. We were actually there during the coldest time (lowest temp was 6 degrees). The propane fire place gave the cabin the perfect feel and heated the cabin amazingly. Shelia was an amazing host with communicating with me about the bad weather that was gonna happen during my stay and was so kind to offer to reschedule but I declined and still went (best choice). She checked on us daily which meant a lot to me. Definitely can’t wait to return.

Great spot for a getaway

My husband and I had a much needed getaway in this cozy little cabin. We were also able to bring our dog, Baxter! The clawfoot tub was amazing and the bed was very comfortable. Everyone was able to relax and enjoy the peace and quiet. We would definitely recommend and we will be back again ourselves!

Perfect couples retreat

We had a lovely time at Sheila's cabin. The cabin is very nice! The location is secluded, in a nice neighborhood, and Sheila is a great host. She was communicative and accomadating. We thoroughly enjoyed hanging out on the porch and by the fire pit. We would definitely book another stay.

Home away from home!

We figured it out and we’ve been coming to Fernbank for 10 years! It’s always just what we need in every way, close to all the things we enjoy: riverside shops and restaurants in Mccaysville, Crane Creek Vinyards in Young Harris, Brasstown Bald, Helen, etc. But the cabin itself is a favorite- relaxing and refreshing. We love the fire pit by the creek!Thanjs again for a wonderful visit!

Relaxing

The cabin was a great place to stay and relax. We enjoyed building a fire down by a little stream of water and just enjoying the sounds of the wildlife....birds singing and squirrels scampering about. The cabin was stocked with more than we imagined regarding the ability to cook our own meals. We enjoyed eating breakfast at the cabin and then hitting the road for daily adventures. Highly recommend this cabin!

Romantic Getaway

The cabin is cozy and tranquil and just a short drive to town. This was a long over due trip for just the twonof is. There is a lot to explore in McCaysville and Blue Ridge. Be sure to grab lunch at Pat's Country Kitchen. The food is amazing and the people are just as cool.

About the host

Hosted by Sheila Eckman

Host profile image
This is a small cabin built by my husband and son. Since both are now gone, we are especially grateful for the memories here. I am retired from a variety of careers, including university work, physician recruitment, and non-profit management. I served 10 years on my city council and eight years as county commissioner. My dog Winston accompanies me to the cabin and loves it there!

Why they chose this property

Great when you want to get away and just chill out. Read. Write. Watch SEC sports! Or take in local antiquing, hiking, rafting, tubing, etc. Not to mention some great eating.

What makes this property unique

Affordable! I want to make a trip to the mountains accessible because it has meant so much to my children and grandchildren to be able to go. While not fancy, it is very comfortable. An affordable option.
