Guests describe it as cozy, clean, and comfortable, with several noting how peaceful the setting is
Our grandfather picked this spot, then walked the hillside along Black Rock Mountain to mark the roads. This authentic 1950s, family-owned home overlooks the breathtaking Wolfork Valley. With recently refurbished hardwood floors in two bedrooms and brand new mattresses, Hillcrest sits on 5 acres with nearby hiking, waterfalls, rafting, mountain biking and shopping in Clayton, Dillard, Franklin, and Highlands. Very close to Black Rock Mountain State Park. A great place to get away from it all!

The space
This is a unique family home that has been passed down for three generations. You will find historic pictures and information about the development of Sylvan Lake Falls as well as artwork from local artists and family members. The Great Room, with views of the mountains, includes a living area, cozy fireplace, breakfast knook and a dinning table with seating for 10. The set up allows a large crowd to enjoy games, puzzles, conversation or TV-watching all in the same space. The home is a ranch style with a split plan. Master bedroom with King bed and bath on one side and Queen Bedroom and another bedroom with bunkbeds and a twin share a hall bath on the other side of the house. In addition, there is a brand new sleeper sofa in the living room for additional sleeping accommodations. There is ample parking in the driveway which doubles as a great play area for children to roam around and explore. In the side yard, there is a fire pit to enjoy on chilly nights. There are two additional buildings on the property- one is a laundry area, the other is my Grandfather's old shop. This home is part of the Sylvan Lake Falls Community made up of year-round residents. As our guests, you will have access to the SLF community area which includes a gazebo and large open picnic area at the edge of the lake.

Neighborhood highlights

Hillcrest Cozy Cabin is a part of a natural development called Sylvan Lake Falls located on the backside of Black Rock Mountain which is right off of HWY441 n between Clayton and Dillard Georgia. Sylvan Lake falls is a quiet mountain community with year-round residents. It has very little traffic as the roads are all gravel. This is a close-knit community that looks after each other. Enjoy the picnic area on Sylvan Lake and don't miss the Waterwheel at the base of the dam. Seasonally you will find that it is still working and is used to grind the cornmeal. Enjoy this mountain community overlooking Wolfork Valley with easy access to Clayton, Dillard, Lake Burton, and Helen, Georgia as well as Franklin and Highlands, NC.
