Little Cabin In The Big Woods

The cabin has 2 bedrooms and one bath and comfortably accommodates four people. Maximum allowed in the cabin is four unless other arrangements are made. The kitchen is completely equipped, all you need to bring is your food. Enjoy our porch and deck with gas Bar-B-Q and rocking chairs. For your convenience the cabin has a washer and dryer, please bring your detergent. You may find it chilly at night. It is usually 10-20 degrees cooler here in the North Georgia Mountains than in Atlanta. The cabin has central heat/air. There is a rock fireplace for a romantic fire. Firewood is on the porch and fire starter is in the kindling basket next to the fireplace. (Firewood provided for 1 night during winter months. More firewood can be purchased at the Suches General Store.)

What To Do:
Trout fishing in Cooper Creek, Toccoa River, and Rock Creek is excellent. Cooper Creek is one mile north on Hwy. 60, turn right at Cooper Creek Store and follow road. The Toccoa River back toward Suches approx. 1/2 mile, where the road is close to the highway can be real good fishing as it is stocked regularly with rainbow trout. Rock Creek is just a little further North on Hwy. 60. Turn left on Rock Creek Road and go approximately 6 miles. The creek runs parallel to the gravel road. The Chattahoochee National Fish Hatchery is on Rock Creek Road and is open for tours. See how they hatch baby trout from eggs and the different stages the trout go through before they are released into the mountain streams. You can obtain a fishing license from the Suches General Store or Cooper Creek Store. You can buy a 1 day, 7 day or a years fishing license. Ask Dale at Suches General Store for prices on license. Suches General Store telephone number is (1-706-747-2271).

There are plenty of good opportunities to take a hike. The property the cabin is situated on adjoins the Chattahoochee National Forest and the Coopers Creek Wildlife Management Area. Be very careful not to get lost in the National Forest behind the cabin as the cabin property adjoins tens of thousands of pristine National Forest acres. White tailed deer, turkey, black bear, foxes, rabbits, bobcats and the like are frequently seen from the property and in the National Forest. It is truly a wildlife paradise. An even more challenging climb is to the top of Blood Mountain; highest point on the Appalachian Trail in Georgia. Drive to the trail head at Lake Winfield Scott off GA Hwy. 180 . (The Appalachian Trail also crosses Hwy. 60 at Woody Gap) There are forest service maps on the wall in the bedroom, and a book on hiking trails in Georgia.

Swimming is available at Lake Winfield Scott, or Lake Vogel (south to Suches and East on GA 180). Lake Winfield Scott is said to be the best kept secret in North Georgia. Both are parks and offer other facilities including nature trails, hiking, canoeing, picnicking, paddle boats (Only at Vogel).

The Toccoa River is great for tubing, rafting, and canoeing. You can put rafts and tubes in the river, at the intersection of GA 60 and Cooper Creek Road, just about 1/2 mile south on GA 60. There are several take out points, one being the Deep Hole Recreation Area. That is approximately a 4 hour trip. You will need to bring your tubes, rafts, and canoes. Bicycling in this area is very good and has become very popular. Traffic is fairly light and most motorist courteous. It is hilly, so be patient and don't expect to set speed records. Running is excellent both north and south along GA 60.

You may want to take books, magazines, games, and cards for evening activities. (If you have the energy left)

Television/V.C.R./Telephone Information:
There is a color television with a VCR. There is no television reception at the cabin. The only thing you will see on our television is the VCR tapes you bring with you. The cabin does have a telephone. There is a block on the telephone for long distance calls. You will need to use a credit card or calling card to make these calls. Some cellular phones (Verizon) will work at the cabin and throughout most of the valley, but not all. Most beepers do have reception in this mountain region.

Groceries:
Plan your meals and take what you require with you as there are no large grocery stores in the immediate area. There are a few small stores that have milk, bread, soft drinks, ice, etc. in the Suches Area. Cooper Creek store is approximately 2.2 miles North on GA 60 from the cabin driveway. Suches General Store is in Suches at the intersection of Hwy. 60 & Hwy. 180 approximately 7 miles South from the cabin driveway. This is your largest store and has the most variety. Dale Pierce is the local proprietor and is there most of the time and he knows about all there is to know about Suches. Blairsville, Blue Ridge, and Dahlonega have large grocery stores with lots of selections. The Super Wal-Mart in Dahlonega on the way up from Atlanta is a good place to stop and get supplies. The store is open 24 hours a day and is approximately 24 miles from the cabin. If you wish to purchase beer or wine, you will need to do this in Dahlonega or Blue Ridge.

Restaurants:
Toccoa River restaurant is approx. a 35 minute drive from the cabin and offers excellent entrees and a great salad bar. Look for their brochure in the cabin. From the cabin, turn right on GA Hwy. 60 and go approx. 8 miles and turn left on Dial Road. Go approximately 2 miles and turn left on Newport Road (you will see Vanzants Store on the left) Go approx. 1 mile on Newport and turn Right on Aska Road.
