Extra spacious

Guests love this home’s spaciousness for a comfortable stay.
This is a true log cabin in the woods adjoining 9,000 acres of Chattahoochee National Forest. The home is on a small creek in a valley by Taylor's Ridge with private trails to the top of the mountain. There is a large stone fireplace in the den. Though it is a rustic setting we have great WIFI and streaming 4K HDR TV. We have space and facilities for dog and horse owners. Cloudland Canyon, Jarrod's Place Bike Park, Dalton, GA, and Chattanooga, TN are nearby and great day time destinations.

The space
Log cabin completely secluded on 30 private acres. and surrounded on 3 sides by the 9000 acre Chattahoochee National Forest. The property has private hiking trails that lead to National Forest trails. Horses and pets welcome. Close to Cloudland Canyon, Pigeon Mountain, and Keown Falls. Easy day trips to Chickamauga National Battle Field, Chattanooga, Dalton and Rome. Our driveway is the old road between LaFayette and Resaca. On May 7, 1864, around noon, General McPherson marched 25,000 calvary and more support troops down this driveway. During your visit try to imagine that procession of men, horses and materials. We have an area for horses but you must provide your own horse panels. Forested trails to ride horses on property. Seven miles from the Pinhoti horse and foot trail. Also several other horse trails in the area.

Neighbourhood highlights

I lived in the cabin for 17 years while working in Dalton. I loved the woods and being secluded. I enjoyed the old road/ trail that goes through the property and into the 9,000 acre Chattahoochee National forest. I hiked to the top of Taylor's Ridge regularly. We have recently renovated this cabin adding a second bathroom. Once you are in the cabin you can access the WIFI using the codes on the desk in the den for your phone and streaming TV.

Hi....we are Gail and Lamar. Gail runs a family program at a treatment center in north Georgia. Lamar is a fiber network engineer in Atlanta. We have really enjoyed making this property unique and wonderful. We began updating this 30-acre mountain property in March of 2019 While it is very rustic there are some new features including high speed WIFI, a 50 inch 4K HDR TV, and a remote control "candle fireplace" in an old woodburning stove in the upstairs bedroom. Coming up in July and August we have one of the best blueberry U-pick farms only 2 miles away: (check the guidebook) We have been on some great vacations using AirBnb. We have stay in various AirBnb homes when we visit our son's family in Colorado Springs. We love hosting. We want visitors to explore and enjoy all the special features we have added. Please enjoy yourself during your visit to Fernwood
