About this property

The Wandering Wilscot Lodge - Riverside | Firepit | Surrounded by National Forest

Look no further than The Wandering Wilscot Lodge if you are seeking a relaxing and fun weekend away from it all. A paved country road will lead you to this cozy lodge. Drop your bags and get ready to discover!

A three-floor mountain beauty, you'll be surrounded with the sound of rushing waters as the Wilscot Creek flows right beside the cabin! Large boulders line the water's edge so guests can enjoy the peaceful tranquility of the North Georgia Mountains!

An inviting wood-burning fireplace greets you as you enter the home. Sink into the comfortable furniture and take in the comforts of your surroundings. Share stories around the fire – one of the best places in the world to be on a cold night!

You'll be blown away by the sheer beauty and intricacy of this place, featuring 100-year-old wood floors repurposed from a Georgian whiskey distillery, hand-carved stairs, and many locally harvested materials.

In the beautifully appointed dining area, there are six dining chairs and a spacious kitchen that's great for making delicious meals after an exciting day of exploration.

With a wraparound porch to provide panoramic views of the stunning natural surroundings, you will love the Amish-made rocking chairs to relax in while you take in the natural scenery. A fire pit completes the list of outdoor amenities that you will enjoy!

You have a choice of four bedrooms: three with king-sized beds and waterfall views! The master bedroom is on the top floor with its own outdoor private balcony and a Jacuzzi tub in the bath! With the middle floor bedroom, you get deck access with its own magnificent views, while the bottom floor bedroom gives you special access to the creek. There is also a bunk room upstairs that children will love.

Feeling a bit adventurous? Follow the creek and it opens into Lake Blue Ridge. Want to go fishing? Try your hand at catching a trout in the Wilscot Creek! You can also go stargazing at night, or spend hours marveling at the waterfall across the creek. As this place is surrounded by 500 acres of National Forest, you can go enjoy a family hike or go hunting. Whatever your heart desires, go for it!

Gather your family, pack your bags, and off you go to this stunning place for a memorable vacation!

Spectacular Cabin on a stream!
Very clean and very well maintained property with everything needed to enjoy the N Georgia mountains. The stream actually wraps around the entire property. Favorite part was sitting some chairs in the stream and relaxing with the sounds and a cold cocktail! Will stay again in the future!

Super Clean by the Stream
We were immediately impressed by how clean everything was. The beds were all so comfortable and the kitchen nicely stocked. The kids had a great time playing by the river and in the large, open grassy field right next to the cabin. We’ll be back!

Best vacay EVER!
We had the absolute best time! We used the fire pit in the back to make smores, had coffee on the porch rocking chairs, the kids played in the creek...and lets be honest the adults did too lol. We had the best vacay of our lives :) Near so many things, just outside of so many towns, we wents hiking, tubing, mini golfing, gem mining, black berry picking, out to dinner, went for ice cream, you name it! The house had SO MUCH room for our 3 families (13 people total) the kids never felt like they were on top of us and they had so much room to run :)
Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2021
