“Gotta go cut the grass at the cabin” is my excuse to escape to my favorite trout streams.

Our first bear sighting of the year, and she apparently doesn't like our landscaping. This looks a lot like the big girl we would see on camera last year. Neither we nor any guests we know of have seen her in person — she tends to come around about 3AM when no one is visiting the cabin. This is her neighborhood, not ours 😄

Grateful to start the week with another great review! Warm days and cool nights make for some great days in the North Georgia mountains!

Be on the lookout for our neighborhood deer during your stay. They show up almost every morning and evening and cross either through the front yard or below the fire pit.
