Welcome to Lil Yellowstone, where wide-open mountain valley views meet the rushing waters of Hemptown Creek. This relaxing retreat invites you to truly escape and reconnect with nature, whether you're fishing, stargazing, or just soaking in the peaceful pasture surroundings. You’ll enjoy private creek access, breathtaking views, and acres of open land, all just minutes from downtown Blue Ridge.

Hemptown Creek is a nationally protected, trout-stocked stream, with regular stocking by the Chattahoochee National Fish Hatchery right at the bridge near the cabin. As you turn onto the road, you'll be greeted by a row of towering Leyland cypress trees leading to your own hidden getaway. The recently renovated farmhouse blends country charm with southwest flair, perfect for families, couples, retirees, or a friends’ retreat—all on one easy-access level.

Inside, the living room features brand-new furnishings, including a dual leather electric reclining sofa, a leather loveseat with a sleeper, a smart TV, and a cozy fireplace. The open floor plan leads into a fully equipped country kitchen with plenty of cabinets, cooking essentials, a dining table, and island seating—great for gathering and home-cooked meals.

Both spacious bedrooms include smart TVs, large closets, comfy high-end mattresses, French doors, and private views. The primary suite includes plush bedding and a sofa lounge, while the second bedroom also offers ample space and comfort.

Step outside to the wraparound porch to dine al fresco at the picnic table, relax in lounge chairs, or enjoy views of the peaceful pasture. A large concrete area is great for casual games like imitation pickleball or soccer. Down by the rushing creek, unwind at the firepit, roast s’mores, or try your luck catching fresh rainbow trout—rods encouraged! Your furry friends will love the fenced front yard.

Whether you're a fisherman, hiker, foodie, golfer, or antique lover, there's something for everyone here. Lil Yellowstone is conveniently located just off Highway 515, giving you easy access to:

Downtown Blue Ridge (breweries, boutiques, restaurants)
Mercier Orchards
Lake Blue Ridge & Morganton Point Recreation Area
Downtown Blairsville
Harrah’s Valley River Casino (Murphy, NC – open 24/7)
Old Toccoa Farm Golf Course (award-winning nearby course)

With so much nearby and so much peace onsite, you’ll want to return year after year to our little slice of heaven. We appreciate your stay and look forward to welcoming you to Lil Yellowstone!

Weekend away

My inlaws came down from Cincinnati, we came up with our 2 year old from Roswell. It was the perfect spot for our weekend together. We even had a little easter egg hunt and got some stargazing in.

Relaxing Get Away

We loved our stay. The location was great and the property made it easy to bring our dogs along with us. They loved the side yard! We spent time in both Blairsville and Blue Ridge, both of which we very close. Great time, we will definitely have to go back soon!

Chill out

If you’re looking for a place to just relax, unwind and recharge from your latest adventure, this is the place. Very nice all around. The creek was great, didn’t see or catch any trout, but it was fun anyway. I would definitely recommend.

Will be back!

Truly enjoyed our stay and plan to become regulars. The property is absolutely breathtaking. We loved sitting on the back covered porch watching the sunset and hearing the rainfall. We had a few picnics at the creek while gazing at the mountain and caught a few fish. Loved the large flowing creek being right in the backyard. Our dog enjoyed the enclosed fence area and was nice they had seating in that area too. Inside was so clean, all beds and furnishings were comfortable. Easy flat access into property. It was so secluded and private on this large beautiful pasture with a nice mountain backdrop. This place is something special. We already are planning the next trip.

Wonderful stay

From the lightning bugs to the cool evenings. This quiet property and small creek made for a wonderful place to stay and recover from our adventures in the mountains. Thankful we could bring our dogs. With one 14 years old we’re not sure how many more trips to the mountains she has in her.

Great Mountain Vacation spot for Dogs and Family!

Lil’ Yellowstone is ideal location for a quiet and peaceful vacation spot for a break from all life’s busyness. It was a perfect place to get in some beautiful hikes with our dog and sit on the porch a read a book. Our family had a wonderful time and our dog loved the cool water of the creek. It was a picture perfect place to spend a week in the summer from Florida and look forward to coming back again next summer!

Great Little Cabin with Lots of Thoughtful Details!

Booked this cabin for my out of town parents to have a little retreat away that was close enough to Woodstock, GA for us to easily drive up and visit them. Cabin was very cute and clean, fenced in yard was amazing for kids/dogs and the scenery was great! The wrap around deck was perfect and my parents enjoyed fires down by the creek as well as exploring the local area restaurants. Thanks for a lovely stay!

Gorgeous Property!

THIS IS THE HIDDEN GEM of the Blue Ridge/Morganton cabins. We finally were able to book an affordable cabin that offered amazing scenery without paying the price of the supersized cabins with tons of bedrooms just to get the scenery! It was very cozy, yet spacious enough to bring a few other family members for the next trip. We truly enjoyed the breathtaking acres of land that backs up to the beautiful flowing river! Every morning we loved waking up gazing out of the glass doors in the bedroom bed and watching the sun slowly light up the pines (Our favorite). We would wake up, open curtains and just watch. Very clean, comfortable furnishings and LOVED the dual reclining heated sofas with coffee holders! The owner had it all decorated for the Holiday season which made us feel like we were in a little Hallmark movie. They have a HUGE fenced in front yard with sitting area so we could just watch our little pup play off leash and get tired out. We were just 10 minutes from Downtown Blue Ridge where I completed all my Holiday shopping. My husband has to use a walker to walk, so this cabin was easy for him to get everywhere. The short gravel driveway into the property was very level with easy access in and out. It was nice we could park right by the side porch kitchen door for unloading groceries and luggage. We hope to stay here a few more times next year for quick weekend getaways!

Will be back regularly!

We have visited the Blue Ridge area for years, but this by far was our favorite cabin! My retired father fished in the backyard every day. We lit evening fires while watching the sunset over the mountain. We loved sitting on the deck with our morning coffee and enjoying the beautiful pasture and cows across the way. The land reminds us of our old country home in Montana. We felt truly transported and we never wanted to leave. The dog enjoyed the front fenced yard. The living room heated sofa recliners were an extra treat. We also loved being just 10 min from downtown Blue Ridge and grocery stores. We are ready to book our summer trip here soon!!!

Rest Filled Four Days

While it property was just off the highway, literally minutes, the setting was perfect for a relaxing, peaceful get away. Proximity to stores for necessities was no more than 15 minutes away. We went to fish the Toccoa and the location of the home was no more than 15 minutes from departure to parking at Tammen Park. The property was also on a river branch that is stocked and within walking distance of the property. The backyard was perfect for two active children and dog. A truly wonderful setting for all sorts of activities including roasted hot dogs and smores.

Just … Wow!

My husband and I wanted to celebrate our anniversary somewhere quiet and peaceful and beautiful, and this was the PERFECT choice. So much space and privacy, we loved all of it! Despite having such privacy, feeling blissfully unplugged and detached ….. it was still so close to downtown Blue Ridge with the cutest and coolest restaurants, lots of shopping, multiple wineries at your fingertips, and lots to do all around in every direction. We got the best of both worlds while being here on our anniversary getaway. But with all that open play space, we will definitely book again to bring the rest of the family. I can’t get over the sunsets!! That was probably my favorite part. The house was super clean. It provided everything we needed for cooking and grilling. The bed was big and comfy. But the BEST PART of the interior ………. the massage chairs!! Omg, thought I died and went to Heaven.

This house is cozy and yet still big enough for a fun gathering. The beds are very comfortable, as are the couches. Lots of soft blankets, tons of kitchen ware, etc. The fire pit at the stream is perfect. Beautiful property!

Perfect spot for Fall season

Host was very helpful, fast update, and give us right information. The place was clean, cozy, contains everything you need. The mountains and evening sunsets from the creek side are really beautiful. It was our 2nd visit this year, it was very satisfying. We want to come back again next year.
