Georgia Mountain Getaway

Skipping ahead to the week of Labor Day....

Andrew and I decided to take a little time off and head up to the mountains of North Georgia. That started me searching online for a place to stay in the Dahlonega area. We found what seemed to be the perfect cabin rental, located on the Chestatee River, but we were told it was already booked. The cabin owner emailed me back to tell us about a second cabin that she had recently put on the market that was still available, and that's where we ended up.

The cabin was perfectly situated in a clearing in the woods, on top of a hill, and a short walk from a stream. It was nicely decorated, with lots of antiques, very quaint and homey.

Andrew brewing some Starbuck's French Roast on our first morning at the cabin:



Coffee on the deck on a cool mountain morning:



One view of the kitchen/living room area:




The bedroom, with French doors opening onto the screened back porch:



and a couple of photos of the bathroom, since I adore old vintage-style bathroom decor:

Who's that handsome guy in the medicine cabinet? Don't you love the white beadboard walls? This cabin had some very interesting moulding details throughout. I hope to steal and use some of these ideas myself one day. The fish sink was quirky, but kinda cool.



Nice tile detail, and, like the rest of the cabin, wood plank ceilings!





We ate all of our meals on the porch, and spent most evenings there relaxing with a glass of wine by candlelight.

Like everyone else in America, we barbecued on Labor Day!



Chicken, corn-on-the-cob, and steamed asparagus. on the porch, by candlelight.
