Thanksgiving 2024

We came here to spend Thanksgiving with our son who is in school nearby. We had a nice and relaxing time! The beds are very comfortable & the large deck and yard were perfect for spending time outdoors. We brought our dog and she was very comfortable in the yard

Great Memories Made

We enjoyed spending time with our adult children and grand child in your rustic and historical but very well updated cabin. We loved all the extra touches (Christmas decor, laundry, toiletries, blankets, and kitchen supplies). It was nice to slow down and have some good old fashioned fun playing games and doing puzzles.

2nd Family get together here

The farmhouse has welcoming indoor and outdoor spaces for a small family reunion. So nice to have a huge deck, a furnished kitchen, a washer/dryer, 2 bathrooms. The king size master bed was super comfortable. We used all the ac units and fans. We did not run out of hot water. Having a full size fridge beats the hotel suites. Thanks so much!

Beautiful and Cozy Historic Cabin

The cabin was so charming and cozy. The beds were comfortable. Just loved how everything was updated, especially the master and both bathrooms. We didn’t end up needing the upstairs single beds. It would be perfect for children but definitely need space heaters up there during the winter. Thanks for sharing your cabin with us!!!

High school Fishing

This property was great! Just enough space for 2 fishing teams (1 coach & 2 students times 2!! ) Parking was best for 1 tuck & boat in the driveway. Only issue was street parking was not wise with boat-in-tow, so the yard was utilized for the 2-nite stay. Took care not to mess with the grass as best they could. All in All, pleasant stay & would book again if fishing brings us back. Thanks!!

A wonderful stay!

The property was very inviting and well kept. I loved the privacy of the backyard and the back deck. We spent most of visit enjoying nature from the back porch. I think it'd really add to the property to have more seating/tables back there, especially considering it's such a large back deck and such a beautiful view. But I don't have any real complaints about the property. It was perfect for our honeymoon weekend, the extra heaters provided kept us warm and toasty, the house was clean and well maintained, and the host was responsive and accommodating.

The property manager was very helpful with any issues we had and quick to respond, even when the issue was something we just overlooked. We enjoyed the house and the outdoor deck is amazing. We also love the amazing walk-in bathroom. If you are looking for a great and spacious place to stay near Taccoa Falls College then I highly recommend staying herw.

We decided to take a last minute trip to Georgia and booked this cabin the day before we left. It was short two day trip but it was one of our favorites so far. The cabin is beautiful and the property is just as beautiful. We had 3 adults, 2 teens, 3 young kids, and a dog... The house suited all of us perfectly! We will definitely be back for a longer stay!

Lifelong Georgians from the mountain region!

We enjoy sharing the rustic charm of our property with our guests and learning what brought them to the area. We especially appreciate feedback and love when guests share the glimpses of memories they made while staying at the Bee & Barb Farmhouse.

Why they chose this property

The area is serene and abundant with natural beauty, friendly people, and loads to do for those who like to get out and adventure. But the property is a haven all its own!

What makes this property unique

The Bee & Barb is an historic property — the original footprint built in the 1850s. We enjoy the history of it and worked hard to preserve it while bringing in modern day comforts. It offers a rustic charm that we absolutely love and love to share! It’s the perfect place to getaway, unplug, and enjoy life!
