Relaxing to the max

We came to this cabin with one goal: Relax. Unplugging from our day to day lives was so necessary. And that is exactly what we got to do. Sitting on the deck, drinking coffee and looking at the pond. Throwing in a few lines to catch fish. Hearing the creek down the hill and just birds. Serene. Seeing horses on the hill. CJ was so easy to get a hold of, and checked in with us often. We are already looking into coming back!

Okay in a pinch

Big cabin, beautiful setting. No amenities - bring your own shampoo and soap. Terrible cable TV service - couldn't find any major channels. No WiFi, but poor cell reception so setting up a personal hotspot didn't work very well. Whole cabin had a strong musty smell and the water smelled foul, like algae. I wouldn't stay here again.

Excellent and natural

If you are looking for someplace relaxing with a remote feel, this is the place for you. It is conveniently located to Gainesville, Lake Lanier (north end), and the NE Georgia mountains. CJ was prompt in responding to communication. We loved this stay.

About the host

Hosted by CJ Farmer, Owner/Manager

A resident of Georgia since 1980, we built this facility in 2005 to expand my horse business and develop a nature preserve. The cabin was originally put on the master plan and constructed to house equestrian guests visiting the ranch to attend a clinic or a riding vacation. For a better return on the investment, I opened the cabin to non-equestrian visitors.

Why they chose this property

I performed volunteer work on a trail system partially located in Banks County for the US Forest Service and could not help but notice how scenic the area was. The rural atmosphere, coupled with a very low crime rate, no traffic issues, yet close to shopping and other necessities made it an appealing choice for personal and business reasons.

What makes this property unique

The many noisy shoals and scenic beauty of the river/creek was one of the most appealing features of the property. Once the center of the property was cleared for pasture and construction of the equestrian center, it revealed a beautiful 180 degree ridge view with stunning sunsets. Being able to enjoy the mountainous terrain, the appearance of being in the middle of nowhere, and yet only 10 minutes away 'modern civilization' via three 4-lane highways is a huge plus.
