April Showers have brought the May Flowers!!!
WOW! This is the most beautiful Spring we've seen in recent memory! Much needed rainfall the past two months has rewarded us with an absolutely lush and colorful spring! Now is the time to get to the mountains and see the beautiful colors. If you missed the dogwood blooms, don't pass up the opportunity to see wildflowers, rhododendron trees, wild azaleas and all the beauty of North Georgia as it comes back to life. The weather has been cooperating as well with low humidity and temperatures in the 70's with cool evenings perfect for relaxing on the porch. We're only an hour north of Atlanta with cabins suitable for the whole family, or just the two of you. Join us!

Oh How Mary's Garden Grows...
Mary's garden is in full bloom this time of year with Rudbeckia, coneflowers, bee balm, asters, daylilies, lupine, foxgloves, clematis old garden roses and much more. It started almost accidentally with a sprinkle of wild flower seeds a few years ago and has since been cultivated into a beautiful display of flora that our guests love.
