We recently had all our fireplaces inspected for safely and unfortunately this property was one that needs some attention to the flue. I hope you will give us another chance and come back real soon.

Thank you for letting us know in regards to the outside I am making a work order right now. For the outside to be addressed.
Cabin was clean and cozy, easy to locate, and not far from town. Georgia Mountain Rentals was very communicative and available when needed. Will definitely plan another stay.
