About this property

A hidden Industrial Farmhouse Cottage with a surprising view

Quiet guesthouse with a view. We are located in Northeast GA, one hour north of the Mall of Georgia in Atlanta, 45 minutes from Helen, and Clemson, 2 minutes from the beautiful Toccoa Falls and Toccoa Falls College and historic downtown Toccoa. We are at the entrance to the Northeast GA outdoor playground. Nearby are beautiful hiking trails, wineries and over 40 waterfalls. Our guest house has 2 queen beds and two couches, a full kitchen, two baths, two porches and is handicapped accessible upon request. Our rate is for FOUR guests. This includes both day and night use. The guest house can be used for small parties and general get-togethers, for an additional fee beyond the nightly guest fee. Also there is an additional charge of $50.00 per night and/or day per guest for more than 4 guests. The maximum limit is 6 guests and this includes children of ALL ages. Since there are only beds for four, two people would have to use our comfy couches.
Guests often see deer, fox, wild birds and beautiful sunrise/sunsets. Depending on the season, you might be able to see or taste our grapes, blueberries, figs, pears, cherries, pecans, or walnuts if the deer or squirrels don't get them first! Perfect for a family get-together, romantic get-away, vacation lodging, week-end travel. It is primarily an adult facility due to our many antiques and upgraded amenities. However it is child friendly with specific limitations concerning the antiques and other items on the property.
We also offer Uber services for Football games with advance notice.This Cottage would be perfect for a romantic getaway, or any type of vacation where one is looking to escape the "hustle and bustle." It is a perfect spot to spend family time. This property is NOT conducive for parties of more than 6 people maximum without owner consent. If additional people use the Cottage without disclosure, either day or night, you may be asked to leave immediately without refund and/or your deposit returned. This is what keeps our guest house nice for our future guests and we do NOT compromise on additional people beyond what is communicated. We make no apologies for this.

Check-in is after 3:00 pm and Check-out is before 11:00 AM unless special arrangements have been made with the owner. As a courtesy, please let us know your ETA an ETD if possible, prior to the reservation. This aids us greatly in our planning process. A week out, if we have not sent you additional Cottage info including directions and access codes, please contact us and we will send it right away.
Cottage Guidelines: There is no smoking NOR pets/service animals allowed inside the cottage due to our son's allergies. We send out further, simple guidelines for children upon booking.

Additional charges:
1. There is a charge of $50.00 per night or day per guest over 4 people, not to exceed 6 people maximum. Two ppl would need to sleep on our comfy couches. This charge may not show up in the final transaction. It will be worked out between the host and guest after initial payment has been made.
2. There is a charge of $1.00 per log of firewood. Please leave this money on the table.
3. If more than six people use the Cottage for any reason, additional group charges apply. We are firm on this.

Amazing views and total serenity
We couldn’t be more pleased with our stay at the OB Cottage. The grounds were pristine, the cottage was immaculately clean, and the furnishings were very classy and comfortable. We didn’t have a single complaint. We came to visit friends who live in the area, and it was the perfect place to relax and reflect. Thank you!

About the host

Hosted by Cyd Quarterman

Host profile image
We are college professors that are empty nesting. Our two boys have left us twiddling our thumbs. So we are looking for things to do. We love travelling and have appreciated staying in the homes of our hosts. We are ready to return the favor and want to share our little slice of paradise in the foothills of Georgia.

Why they chose this property

The guesthouse was remodeled for Cyd's mother who needed it to be handicapped accessible. She is no longer with us and it sits empty waiting for people to enjoy the views, the wildlife and in season, our fruit. The Cottage on Flat Rock Farm is a conundrum of sorts. While situated on 25 acres of farm hills and trails, it is a short walk away from historic downtown Toccoa.
Therefore the Cottage is positioned in the perfect place for seclusion with a little town and all its amenities around the corner. The Cottage guesthouse sits on a ridge looking over the foothills with no neighbors near by.

What makes this property unique

Beautiful views especially in the Autumn. Industrial farmhouse decor. Blueberries, cherry trees, pear trees, figs, walnut and pecan trees, and several different varieties of grapevines. Both the screened porch and back porch are secluded. Large unique fire pit with log furniture. Homemade granola, yogurt, fruit, coffees and teas are provided for breakfast. Apart from the kitchen, this facility and especially the ensuite has been designed to be handicapped accessible. Guests desiring handicapped accessible accommodations need to request this option specifically.
