As featured in the music video ‘Nothing But Everything,” https://youtu.be/FLNbfM9zIZc , we are a romantic, secluded mountain retreat with amazing views of the Cohutta Wilderness. Enjoy the indoor sauna and enormous jacuzzi tub with panoramic views, or head outside to the large hot tub to see the stars. With a king-sized bed, loft, copper farmhouse sink, WiFi and satellite TV you won’t be roughing it!

Strictly non-smoking in and out. *If there is snow or ice on the road, guests may cancel.
The space
We just added a new loft with a metal ladder, two double beds, and a desk- check it out!

Please note this cabin is small and cozy- about 800sq ft. Common areas include a walking trail and pond across the road. Well water is from a delicious mountain spring. The road is a steep grade, rock road that can get very slick and sometimes muddy. An SUV or truck is recommended, and 4WD is best, but we drive a regular car. Extra bed is in the loveseat. It folds out and has a gel mattress- as do the bunks. We make exceptions for children in some circumstances. Please contact us so we can evaluate whether the loft space, with its high metal ladder and hatch, is appropriate.

Please also remember that this is a very small cabin. It is deep in the woods on the face of a mountain. There is a wood burning fireplace inside. This means there may be mud, wind, pollen, bugs, snakes, temporary power outages, dirt, leaves, dust, and fallen trees. We have real furs inside the cabin in various locations. You may encounter an animal hair. There might be a spider or a cricket. Pollen or ashes or leaves could settle on the porch or ledges with the blowing wind. There are bears and bees and crickets and frogs that are pretty noisy... normal cabin things. The rock road is STEEP and narrow. You should not drive on it with ice or snow. The cabin is professionally cleaned after every single guest, but please keep in mind that this is a remote (albeit very cute and fancy) CABIN.
Guest access
Entire property. Unless otherwise indicated on posted signs, contents of cabinets, armoire, drawers, fridge or freezer are our personal property and aren’t for guest use. Guests should not access the mechanical closet, or go near the edges of or off of the deck beyond the hot tub. No standing on the loft hatch, leaning on the loft rail, or horseplay on the loft ladder. Do not attempt to take bags, luggage, or other items up to the loft. The pond is for guest use, and includes an additional fire pit. The wood in the front yard wood holder is not for guest use (you must supply your own). There are some catfish in the pond.
Other things to note
If the weather gets icy, you may be stuck. We will allow cancellation.

Be mindful of bears on Fort Mountain. Do not bring food outdoors. There is generally is no trash disposal outside of the cabin or otherwise on the property outdoors. Trash must be kept indoors. We are experimenting with a “bear proof” can behind the wood holder if you need to move a bag during a longer stay. We will see if it is really bear proof! 🐻

Thoroughly clean the grill before you go to bed at night. Completely cover the hot tub when not in use (the bears will tear it up).

You must completely shower before entering the hot tub. No deodorant, makeup, lotion, bug spray, hair product, or perfume can contact the water. If you have long hair, please tie it back. The hot tub is sanitized between guests- please help us maintain our water quality. DO NOT bring glass or candles or electronics near or into the hot tub!!

If you are staying more than two nights, we may leave hot tub sanitizing products for your use strictly in conformity with product packaging instructions.

If you break or completely use up something like a candle, please take a picture and let us know.

Thank you!
