Our rates are reasonable, we're just down the road from the lake, and we're open year round, no matter what the season.  Located on beautiful Scenic Highway 197, near Lake Burton and Lake Rabun, we're close to Alpine Helen, state and national parks, and many popular attractions.

Our rooms are cozy and inviting, with kitchens and fireplaces ... decorated with your relaxation in mind ... complete with handcrafted furniture and local crafts. There are good restaurants close by if you want a full breakfast.

Sleep in ... or rock on the porch and enjoy the sounds of the mountains.  We have over 12 private acres to walk ... take a picnic, and enjoy the peace and serentiy of our mountain forests.

We're open every day, but have no accommodations for children or pets in our rooms. However, both children and small pets are welcome in the cabin. Call to reserve your room now, while the fish are biting and the days are glorious.

The Rusty Possum Cabin is OPEN and ready for guests! Private, cozy, queen bed, kichenette with mountain decor, handcrafted furniture, lamps, vintage quilts, candles, and lots of charm.

The local area abounds with activities for everyone. You can hike the Appalachian Trail, spend the day on the lake or fishing along the river, or explore our numerous galleries and antique shops. We have waterfalls galore, horseback riding, mountain biking, and whitewater rafting. Fishing, hunting, boating, shopping ... we've got them all.
