Spotless and thoughtfully designed

Guests describe this cabin as spotless, intentional, and one of their favorite stays
Oak Cabin is a Scandinavian-inspired tiny home tucked on 40 private acres in the Blue Ridge Mountains, between Blue Ridge and Blairsville. With cathedral ceilings, modern design, and picture windows framing the forest, it’s made for rest and comfort. Wander wooded and creekside trails, relax in the barrel sauna, or gather by the fire pit under a starry sky.

The space
Oak Cabin is one of two thoughtfully placed cabins on the property, set within an open clearing and surrounded by trees. In addition to the private outdoor area and fire pit, Oak Cabin guests enjoy access to the shared outdoor spa area with a barrel sauna and outdoor cold shower, as well as 40 acres of wooded trails. The property is designed to feel peaceful, restorative and connected to nature.

Oak Cabin is a handcrafted, Nordic-inspired retreat designed for peace and simplicity. Large windows invite the forest in, while the minimalist style creates a calm escape from everyday life. Inside, you’ll find everything you need for comfort—without the distractions of screens or WiFi—so you can truly unplug and reconnect.

The bedroom features a plush king bed with Oeko-Tex linens. The spa-like bathroom has a cedar-lined shower with soft lighting, a sink, toilet, and an apex window for natural light. We provide clean, plant-based toiletries.

The kitchenette is stocked with everything you need for simple meals, including an induction cooktop, under-counter refrigerator, dishes, utensils, and glassware. You’ll also find a gas grill outdoors for cooking under the trees. For your morning ritual, enjoy a freshly brewed cup of coffee from the Keurig or choose from a selection of organic teas with the electric kettle. A Sonos speaker makes it easy to play your own music, and a rechargeable lantern adds a cozy glow indoors or outside.

Just outside, your private patio area has a fire pit, two Adirondack chairs, gas grill and a dining space. From here, it’s just steps to our forest trails and creekside paths. Guests also have access to the outdoor spa area with a 6-person barrel sauna and a cold shower under the stars.

Upon request, we’re happy to provide extras for your stay, including hiking poles or a cornhole set

Guest access
You’ll receive a private smart lock code on the day of arrival for easy self check-in.

Other things to note
Your privacy is of the utmost importance to us. While there is another cabin on the property, both Oak and Maple cabins are carefully placed to maintain that privacy.

We provide a bundle of firewood on the wood rack outside the cabin door, along with newspaper and a lighter. Any extra wood can be purchased on-site (cash only) or feel free to bring your own. Please note that we adhere to all county, state and federal fire bans. Fires are only permitted in the designated fire ring. Do not move the fire rings. All fires must be attended to at ALL TIMES and must be fully extinguished when finished.

Please note: Oak Cabin does not have a TV or WiFi; cellular service is available.

Set in the North Georgia mountains, the city pairs Appalachian hiking with a laid-back downtown and Southern comfort food.
Exact location will be provided after booking.

From the host

Our cabin sits between the charming mountain towns of Blue Ridge and Blairsville, just five minutes from Lake Nottely. Within 25 miles, you’ll find ten waterfalls, countless hiking trails—including the Appalachian Trail—and endless ways to enjoy the outdoors. Guests love hiking, fishing, boating, swimming, tubing, horseback riding, and visiting local orchards.

When you’re ready for a night out, both Blue Ridge and Blairsville offer great restaurants, local shops, and a laid-back mountain vibe. You’ll also find nearby wineries with stunning views and local breweries to explore.

This area is famous for its breathtaking mountain scenery. Don’t miss the drive up to Brasstown Bald, Georgia’s highest point, for views that stretch above the clouds—or a trip to Hogpen Gap overlook for another unforgettable Blue Ridge vista.

Once you book, we’ll send over our insider’s guide with favorite spots and activities to make your trip extra special.
