Planning Getaway

We enjoyed the cozy cabin, full kitchen, spacious back deck and fenced area. It was wonderful to be able to bring our furry family member. The winery was a great spot to visit and the short drive to Amicalola Falls State Park was a plus!

Slice of Country Heaven

We really enjoyed our stay! Kevin was a lifesaver for our daughter whose battery wouldn’t start after my husband and I had already left for the day. You really will not meet two nicer hosts. We didn’t have time to visit with the animals, but we hope to on our next visit.

A perfect place to relax, refresh, and recharge!

We enjoyed every minute of our stay at Forever Young! The cabin is spotless and well appointed. Kevin is an excellent host and super helpful. We felt right at home. The alpaca and goats were a blast to watch! Five stars all around, even our dog agrees! We hope to come back in warmer weather so we can enjoy the deck and lovely pool area in this wonderful setting!

Our beautiful experience in forever young guest house

Karen and Kevin were the most wonderful hosts! We spent my birthday getaway in the serene beauty of North Georgia, and it was truly magical. The scenery was breathtaking, and their property was alive with charm—lush plants, animals, and stunning views at every turn. But the real highlight was the warmth of human connection we experienced.The cozy little guest house was comfortable and felt like a home away from home. We’re beyond grateful to have discovered this gem—and even more so, to have met Karen and Kevin. Their kindness and hospitality touched our hearts, made us feel special and we’ll always carry that with us as a treasured memory with a smile. Thank you for your warmth and generosity. We love you.

Peace and Bliss

I wish I had booked more days. The property is beautiful and the hosts are the best. We met the rabbits, alpacas and donkeys with the host who treats these animals with so much love and care. Fainting Goat Winery next door has some delicious wine, good prices, and a view out of this world. OMG, my bed was so comfortable that I hardly wanted to get out of it. The kitchen is well-stocked with the essentials. The property is close to town and all of the attractions. I will be back again!

mountain adventure getaway basecamp

Hosts obviously enjoy having guests. Real deal people. Multitude of things to do from the location. Cozy place to wait out the rain. Everything works the way they show. They seem to want to make it even better. We mountain biked Talking Rock, Carters Lake Almahdy loop (something to see), got a taste of Pinhoti II by Mulberry Gap, Fished Holly Creek, and Lake Selacoa. Private Fire-pit well stocked, grill starts with a touch. Blender works for smoothies. TV keeps you in touch. Bathroom clean, Beds feel like someone cares. Hot tub listining to Alpacas, and Braying donkeys, overlooking the mountainscape..

About the host

Hosted by Karen D Young

Host profile image
Your Hosts, Kevin & Karen Young (we)---- are passionate nature, travel & animal lovers. After fulfilling careers, we served in the Peace Corps (2017-2019) and then moved to this land to create a sustainable homestead and Nature Sanctuary.

Why they chose this property

We chose Jasper, GA as our location as it was close enough to Atlanta to be at Hartsfield Airport in less than an hour and a half & far enough from the city (Atlanta and Jasper!) to be in the quietude and beauty of the North Georgia mountains everyday.

For more information about us and our mission, please see our website:
www: ForeverYoungSanctuary.org

What makes this property unique

Guests wake up to the sights and sounds of a functioning Animal Sanctuary.

Guests are invited to enjoy an educational, hands-on "Meet-n-Greet" with our animals (donkeys, alpacas and bunnies) for a modest $15 donation per family.

The pavilion, hot-tub, swimming pool, Bath House & toddler playground are all available to our Guests at no additional charge.
