The little cottage was great. Only issue was the fire pit could not be used as the started was corroded. Host was easy to contact but he was unaware of the issue. The pine straw and leaves were very slippery down to the grill and fire pit. Other than these issues it was a great short vacay. Would stay there again.

This cottage was spectacular. We had the best time. It truly was a time for us to connect and just enjoy each other. It was so amazing that we asked to extend our stay and thankfully we were able too. When we weren't enjoying being in the cottage, we walked down to the fire pit where we relaxed by the stream that flows. Everything you need to enjoy your time there is ready and available. The owners were amazing from the moment we booked until we left. We will without a doubt be scheduling another visit

We had a wonderful time staying here! The seclusion and time spent away from the tv/telephones was much needed. Unfortunately it rained during our trip so we were not able to make our way down to the fire pit, however, that gave us the chance to stay in and listen to the rain hit the roof and enjoy the inside scenery! It really helped us not think of anything except relax and decompress and enjoy ourselves.

What an absolute DREAM! If you're even considering booking this cabin, just do it! You will not be disappointed. Park at the top and follow the lovely string lights along a path that leads to the cabin. Outside you can enjoy the lock tree, an outdoor shower, fire pit and hammock by the creek. Inside, breathtaking! I couldn't get over the beautiful handmade bed, chandeliers and the clawfoot tub! They even had romantic french music playing! We just left yesterday and I can't wait to go back!

Amazing love, nest

This was the most beautiful weekend getaway. My boyfriend and I ever had. Everything was so lovingly prepared and thought through. This is the best place for a couple in love to really focus on each other. If you come here to enjoy intimacy, love and peace. This is the place to come to.

Wonderful Getaway

This was a delightful escape, just over an hour from Atlanta. The journey showcases stunning mountain views and leads you through the charming town of Blue Ridge, GA, where you'll find a variety of quaint shops, local artisans, eateries, and a central square. The property is nestled in a serene natural environment along a quiet, small community road within the woodlands. The rental exudes charm, romance, and French style, adorned with thoughtful details such as antique chandeliers, a clawfoot soaking tub, a fully equipped kitchenette, and a bistro table laid with china for two. Spotlessly clean, cozy, and distinctive - this location is perfect for a romantic retreat or for a writer seeking an inspiring natural setting with a European vibe. An added bonus was the host's exceptional responsiveness and warmth. It truly is a hidden gem! I look forward to returning in the fall to experience the breathtaking scenery foliage.

Amazing Mountain Getaway

This was a gem we found that was a unique and romantic trip for my wife and I. The details make it clear that every aspect was planned out and it immerses you into the French experience. We loved our stay here and plan on returning. FYI there is a walk down to the cabin that is downhill so be prepared to carry your baggage a little ways.
