Our family had a great time at this cabin. It was just what we were looking for. We spent time playing checkers in the living room, making smores at the fire pit, relaxing on the hammock, and grilling on the gas grill. There is not a lot to do close to the cabin, but our intent was mostly just to relax and this was perfect for that. For the times when we wanted to go exploring with the kids, we went to Rolling Thunder Tubing multiple times (12 mi, 17 min), the Wagon Master Adventure Ranch (15 mi, 29 min), Grandaddy Mimms Moonshine Distillery (28 mi, 37 min) and the nearby excellent BBQ at Jim's Smokin' Que, and the Toccoa River Swinging bridge (32 mi, 65 min).

There is also a nice mountain bike trail near Murphy called the Hanging Dog Trail with lots of verticals for a good cardio workout. If you drive to/from this cabin through Georgia, as we did, you may pass through Helen, GA and that is a great place to stop if so.

Sometimes dealing with trash at a rental cabin can be a pain, but that was not the case here because the trash facility is convenient and only about 10 minutes away. They have great hours and you can drop off trash almost any time.

Overall, we highly recommend this cabin and think others will enjoy it as much as we did. I always try to include both the positives and potential negatives, so here are the latter. There are at least 3 security cameras at the cabin, which was fine, but one of them was inside in the kitchen/living room area. We found that one a bit creepy so we threw a dish towel over it while we were there. There was a hammock available, but we didn't find any rope to tie it to the trees, so we ended up buying some rope at dollar general to do so. Finally, the fire pit was awesome but it would have been nice to have a small handsaw to cut up the bigger sticks we had collected from around the property.

We would definitely consider returning to this property and would recommend it for family or a couple looking for a romantic getaway. You could relax and do nothing here for a week or do a little bit of exploring. A great place for either path. The owner was incredibly responsive to any of our inquiries.
