About this property

The Tomlin House-Historic 1904 2BR- Hike-Wine-Dine in North GA Mountains

Come relax in our charming 1904, 2 bedroom apartment in Demorest. Across the street from Piedmont University and 1 mile from Northeast Georgia Medical Center Habersham. Centrally located for hiking and vineyard touring. Spend the day in the North GA mountains, and stay cozy at night. Wake to coffee of your choice & have a homemade muffin or some fresh eggs from my chickens. Or just walk for coffee at Farmhouse coffee on the corner, or dinner at Holden OverSoul (farm to table). You'll love being so close to waterfall hikes, wineries, Tallulah Gorge, Appalachian Trail, Piedmont University, Alpine Helen, zip-lining, geocaching, etc. Gas logs for backup heating in the winter!

This is one of two completely separate apartments in this house, so consider the 1 bedroom apartment if you're traveling with extended family and need a separate space at the same location. Perfect for visiting your Piedmont student with the grandparents along as well.

The Tomlin House is just darling, warm and cozy. Everything was super clean and well stocked. Even supplied fresh eggs from her own chickens, fresh bagels and muffins. Gas firepit on the deck or a wood burning firepit outback. Thank you Carmen, we will definitely be back.

Found ourselves needing a place to stay during some home renovations so we decided to stay local for a few days. This place happened to show up first in our search at a decent price so we decided to give it a try and let me tell you, we ABSOLUTELY could not be more pleased. Check-in was easy. The cleanliness of the property was immaculate and every amenity needed was available (it even comes with fresh eggs and a breakfast casserole for your dining pleasure). The property was built circa 1904 and is faithfully restored and decorated true to the period. And the heart of pine wood floors are still gorgeous. Although we literally live less than 8 miles from the property, we will absolutely visit again because my wife says that her soaking bath in the clawfoot tub was worth the price of admission. Highly recommend this property if you are ever in the area.

Great stay at The Tomlin House! Perfect location, super easy check-in, and the host was very accessible. The house had everything we needed—plenty of towels, a stocked coffee bar, and a spacious kitchen where I cooked and grilled for my son and his teammates. Comfortable bed, great layout, and we loved relaxing on the back patio. Felt just like home!

Loved our quiet weekend

We are looking for a dog friendly place to rent close to Helen GA. I'm really happy we extended our search further out till we found this place. The home was very cozy and they host provided a lot of amenities were very nice. For instance I forgot to pack our dogs food and water bowl that they had a set there. The host is super nice and has great recommendations in a nicely presented binder. If I take another trip to North Georgia this place will be on the top of the list.

About the host

Host profile image
I'm from North GA, meaning my family moved to the North Georgia mountains around 1780. I've lived in other states and countries and have returned here to raise my son. Now that he's grown, I'm sharing the small town and mountains that I love.

Why they chose this property

Demorest is a wonderful mid-point to hiking as well and vineyards. So you can hike into the mountains and immerse yourself. Or you can spend the afternoon at a local vineyard and just absorb the energy of the area. Demorest is a quiet respite to decompress and stroll for coffee in the morning, or just porch sit throughout the day.
