We were unable to stay the entire booking because my husband had a fall on our first hike. It is a beautiful area and we'd love to come back (after the broken arm heals).
The cabin was in an idyllic location surrounded by beautiful trails and views. We were personally and immediately attended by the property manager when a small problem arose upon our arrival. Everyone we encountered associated with this property was compassionate and considerate. This made our 45th Wedding Anniversary celebration filled with wonderful memories and beautiful mountain, lake, stream and meadow scenes. Thank you.
We had an amazing stay at this cozy mountain cabin! The location was perfect, offering stunning views and complete tranquility. The cabin itself was charming and well-equipped, with a comfortable living space. It was the ideal place to relax and unwind after a day of exploring. The hosts were very welcoming and thoughtful, making sure we had everything we needed. I highly recommend this cabin for anyone looking for a peaceful mountain retreat!
Property clean and nice… loved the creek and enjoyed the stay.. not the best cell reception at times but the Wi-Fi seemed to work fine inside ..will stay again ..
Home is very convenient to trails and other sites in the area. Very clean and maintained; would have liked a table by the sofa and a front door mat to wipe your feet. Had to buy coffee filters and dish soap, but still very happy with our stay. Would recommend it!
If you intention is to enjoy the outdoors and get a comfortable place to rest and freshen up - look no further.
This nook is exactly as described. The AC works great, its clean, the water pressure is spot on, the appliances work great, and there is plenty of storage space for your belongings ... its the little things that makes a stay away from home enjoyable and this property checks every box.
The only issue was that there wasn't any instructions on how to use the gas heater. Other than that, 4 stars. I am a big guy and the shower was nice. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is bc the bed was small for my Wife and I. Starter Kit was a plus.
Great for a quiet getaway, with some minor drawbacks
This property was great for a New Year's Eve getaway for my partner and me. The quiet location was perfect to get away from all the noise and chaos of our home. The only complaint I have is that the furniture was pretty uncomfortable, specifically the couch. The cushions kept sliding out from under us while we tried to relax and watch a movie. The couch has a pull out bed, which we deployed to see if that would be more comfortable, but it was only a slight improvment. Aside from that, our stay was quite pleasant.
I brought my motorcycle with me and I was right in the middle of the “six-gap” roads. Blairsville is only about 15 minutes down the road. There is also a funky little grocery store about a half mile away. I stopped there as they had premium gas for the bike. Nice little cabin (mine was best for one to two, with one bedroom). Don’t recall if the sofa is a pull out or not. There is a little creek on the property and makes for a nice, calming effect. Appalachian Trail crosses the road nearby.
We had a great stay at Woodside Nook. We were in town for a family reunion at Vogel State Park. The cabin is conveniently located just a couple of miles away. The cabin is comfortable and the owner is very responsive. Any issues we had were resolved quickly. I would recommend that the owner leave more than three bath towels for longer stays because the humidity caused our towels not to dry out between showers. Adding some towel bars in the bathroom might help as well. My only complaint is the water pressure in the shower. I understand that water reducing shower heads are required by the county, but it made for a very frustrating experience. Other than that we were pleased with the accommodations. I didn’t do much cooking, but there were plenty of dishes and cookware for the little that I did. I did have to teach a couple of virtual classes while there and was happy with the wifi connection. I feel that the description and pictures are accurate for this little cabin.

The property was charming. Hiking and stream just out the front door. The area offered us everything we needed to enjoy a peaceful vacation and location near beautiful areas for hiking. The Reece Farm Village was an unexpected bonus and offered a free concert and history about the area. We will return!
We enjoyed the little cottage by the creek. Just enough room for two people. The area is absolutely beautiful with Vogel State Park a stones throw away. We would stay again and enjoyed that there were no other visitors in the village.

About the host
Hosted by Sandi Godfrey
The unit is one of the original dwellings of the Byron Herbert Reece Farm Village. It's charming and rustic characteristics are totally original to the property.
Why they chose this property
Just a few minute's walk to the official "farm," visitors are just a stones throw to wolf creek, to the live barn animals, to the garden, and to the walking path through Byron Herbert Reece's mentions of poetry. For the more adventurous, a 1.23 mile paved hiking trail connects the farm to Vogel State Park - with its Lake Trahlyta, Trahlyta Falls, and related water activities.
What makes this property unique
The Woodside Nook Cabin is situated 30 minutes from Blairsville, Hiawasse, Helen, Cleveland, and Dahlonega.
