A single, rustic but strikingly original cabin with unique design and flare stands alone below a 100-foot granite cliff, at the foot of which ripples a small spring-fed pond, sheltered in a stand of native mountain laurel, its summery spray creating afternoon rainbows and reflections. Nestled among massive boulders, surrounded by fallen stone from bygone centuries, and 100 ft tall poplars and hickory trees, the Cliffside Cabin awaits you. |

The bathroom has a double-sized tub & toilet;
again bathmats, towels, and toilet tissue and so forth are provided.
There is no telephone, however mobile phones will work from the cabin
because of the altitude.
Fishing and hunting licenses are available in season, and trout, bass,
deer, raccoon, possum, bear and turkey are some of the wildlife to be
found here. However, Cliffside Cabin and its immediate surrounding area is
a wildlife sanctuary; therefore hunting in its vicinity, or the removal of
trees or plants, is prohibited. Many breeds of birds, some rare, come here
to nest, and we actively encourage this. |

Privacy and solitude
among such natural splendor, combined with the comfort and amenities of a
fireplace, gas heat, and all the modern conveniences of the cabin, make
this an experience almost extinct except to the elite - not a development,
not a cluster of roadside rentals, not a commercial business, but a
one-of-a-kind, truly unique and residential hideaway. Our private guest
house.
Find out firsthand why these mountains have
been featured in films from "The Last of the Mohicans" to "Long Riders,"
from "Deliverance" to "Four Seasons" and many more, all of which celebrate
the natural beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
The water at the cabin, from natural
mountain springs, is excellent grade A drinking mineral water. We also
supply fuel for the gas heating and all utilities. The cabin has a
wrap-around deck, ceiling fans, CD stereo/radio, many books/games, and
will sleep up to five people.
Cliffside Cabin has a full kitchen and
dining area, supplied with cutlery, crockery, cooking utensils, paper
towels, garbage bags, coffee machine/filters, fridge/freezer, stove/oven
and microwave. Just bring your food.
Many, many waterfalls ring this whole area,
and the Welcome Center and the Forestry Commission can set you finding
some of the "hidden" ones -- others are easy to find, such as Dry Falls
(you can walk behind it, and it's BIG!)
The twin Anna Ruby falls are great, and
closer are Tallulah Gorge and river, Bull Sluice, Minihaha, plus many many
more -- also State Parks; Black Rock Mountain, Warwoman Dell, (we are
located off Warwoman Road), Rabun Bald, the highest mountain in the area,
and the Appalachian Trail runs in back of the lakes and over to Unicoi
National Park.
Be absolutely on your
own in private splendor atop Screamer Mountain - yet mere moments
from whitewater rafting on the Chattooga River, dinner at the legendary
Dillard House, hiking the famous Appalachian Trail, renting a boat on Lake
Rabun or Lake Burton, or exploring Tallulah Gorge, Panther Creek or Rabun
Bald.
And you're only half an hour from
Highlands, NC, home of spectacular Dry Falls and the mighty Cullasaja
Watershed -- or alpine Helen, Georgia, home of hot air balloons,
Oktoberfest, Amicola and twin Anna Ruby
Falls.
