Need to get away from it all for a few days? Perfect couples getaway bordered by a beautiful freshwater creek on one side and the Ohoopee River on the other, offering a private UTV/ATV trail leading to private sandbar access. The majority of wood used in construction of this cabin was hand milled on site.Bring your own UTV or golf cart (or rent one) to cruise the majestic cypress, white oak and palmetto Ohoopee River bottom land. Hike on the banks of the Ohoopee River and Beaver Creek. Birdwatch on the nature and wildlife trail as we have abundant owl, hawk, turkey and deer. Forage the palmettos and the riverbank for chanterelle mushrooms to accompany your dinner. Roast marshmallows on the sandbar.
Our river is known for white sand, black water and famous redbreast fishing so bring your bait and tackle to catch cold freshwater redbreast, bream, white perch and bass. Or just sit in the sand with your toes in water that's refreshingly cool year round.
After your outdoor adventures, return to your cabin to rinse the sand off in your outdoor shower and swing or rock on the front porch. Audiophiles will enjoy the record player and classic record collection. Sit by a campfire in your yard and stargaze.
Home is fully stocked and includes high speed wifi service.
***A starting supply of paper goods, laundry detergent and dish soap are available. We greatly appreciate our guests helping us replenish these items as they are used.***
***No parties or events are allowed without owners prior consent and approval.***
A truck or 4 x 4 is helpful on our dirt road. While you can technically walk to our private sandbar, a UTV, 4 wheeler or golf cart is highly preferred if you are taking chairs, towels, coolers, etc to the water. ***This property is located approximately 2 miles down a dirt road. At times, a truck or 4x4 vehicle is needed. The road can be very sandy, muddy and/or rough on occasion.***
Please let us know in advance of your stay if you'd like to rent a golf cart. Cart rental is currently $25/day.
You are welcome to build a fire on the sandbar but please don't cut or damage live trees on the property as it has been selectively thinned. Feel free to use any downed trees and or limbs for sandbar fires.
Please note that the main bedroom downstairs is lacking a door. We special ordered a door that never arrived and in the interim, we decided we liked the way it worked without a door! Never fear though, the bathroom does have a locking door.

Beautiful place to stay. Loved how quiet it was and the night sky.
The cabin was immaculate, organized, clean, and comfortable. A perfect getaway for two and a great fenced in yard for our doggy. This was a great experience and we will be back.
Wife and I took the dogs for the weekend, the house is cozy and clean and fully loaded for anything you could need. The host was very prompt and responsive. Planning to return to this property!
My family had a wonderful time, our dog was quite pleased as well lol. This beautiful cabin and property exceeded our expectations and the owners are fantastic. If you're looking to get away for some peace and quiet, this little piece of heaven is for you! We will definitely be back!
Wonderful time enjoying nature and the active scenery of birds. The cardinals and Bluejays are amazing to watch, the gentle breeze through the trees spoke a lot . The hideaway itself is cozy and very relaxing, a perfect couples retreat.
It was beautifully decorated with a personal touch. We were there for a memorial service but this cabin made it very special for us to relax and have some peace.
My husband and I and our granddog had a great stay at this out of the way gem near our family in south Georgia. It was perfect for us city folks to get away for a few days. The nearby river and sandbar were fun ways to spend time. Highly recommend.
Every element of this adorable little cabin was thoughtful, and comfortable. We stayed here while our Helene home reconstruction was happening, the cabin had everything we needed, and I mean everything! Our pups loved the spacious backyard running and playing all day! Sitting in the rocker on the porch, listening to all the sounds of nature, was just peaceful. Highly recommend if you want to get away from it all and still have all the comforts of home, this is the place!!!
Had an excellent time at your river house. The inside of the house was very clean and well stocked with everything we needed. Beds were super comfortable. Loved riding the golf carts, well worth the money! Everyone had an awesome time at your river house, including our pups!! Thanks again!
We loved the cabin and our small dogs loved the fenced yard where they could roam without a lead (they are city dogs and always on a leash when outside). The only disappointment was we could not access the sandbar because the river was above flood stage our entire trip. Was very relaxing to just nag out and read! The kitchen is very well appointed.
Hosts are easily accessible and on point. Cabin was cozy and comfy. Well stocked! Bonus is they supply a golf cart ($20/day) to get to the creek nearby…which is so much fun! Tubing, kayak/canoe, fishing whatever! Our dogs loved the fenced in yard which is such a nice large space for them to run wild. Bedding and towels were excellent. Great Bose speakers to listen to albums…literally have zero complaints. Highly recommend!!
The ac not big enough for space. The ice maker was freezing up do thinking causes the fridge not to be cold. A lil under impressed with the golf cart we payed extra. The sandbar beach you couldnt get to..why we rented cart!! Place was beautiful and well stocked.
There are so many right things about this property. The fenced in property allowed my 14 year old to wander at her leisure. Every room for us humans was perfect. Living room had music and tv. Kitchen had every utensil we could want. There was even a dog food and water bowl! The towels were thick. The bed has 4 pillows each. Even the front porch had rockers with pillows. Highly recommend for a romantic weekend.
After a summer of traveling and playing with grandkids, we found the perfect little hideaway to just be still for a couple of days - what a dream! There were movies to watch, Netflix to binge, and fresh eggs to eat. The decor is beautiful. It's our dream home - just what we want to have some day for ourselves! The online listing is perfectly accurate and we can't wait to return some day and take advantage of all the outdoor offerings. Thanks!
We, my husband and I and our dogs truly enjoyed our stay at this cabin. Enough that we wanted to book another night but was already reserved. We truly enjoyed everything, mostly jumping on the golf carts with our dogs and traveling down to the beautiful waterside. What a magical place, so quiet and serene, just what we all needed. Cabin was very clean, well put together and comfortable with all the amenities anyone could need or want. The host Tara and her husband were very friendly and helpful with all questions and recommendations for places to eat and visit. Thanks, we hope to visit again soon.
