Whether you are on a family vacation, a romantic getaway with your sweetie, or a fun trip with friends, the whole group will be able to enjoy the peaceful, back-to-basics environment around your cabin.
Nothing could be more relaxing than an afternoon of floating lazily down the Chattahoochee River on a tubing adventure or spending the day on a serene fishing trip. You can plan a day hike that will lead you to majestic waterfalls and allow you to explore the plants and wildlife of the forest around you. You will truly feel that you have gotten away from all of the madness of everyday life and stepped into a simpler, quieter world.
