Life on the farm with Pool! 1+ hour to ATL, Close to great hiking in No GA Mtns

Your own private sanctuary.
It's all about the kids, unless you are a hiker and need a perfectly placed base camp, or you just need to get away to the peace and quiet!!!
Spring is in the air as the newborn baby horses, baby goats and calves arrive!
We added a petting area for the goats next to the apartment and new for 2024, we have added a miniature donkey named BB. She is just adorable and loves to be fed and petted.
We love to see the looks of wonderment in their eyes when they see the Milky Way for the first time while making s'mores in the fire pit.
Let them use the sidewalk chalk and draw on our large patio area in front of the apt. Adults have drawn some pretty cool pictures too!!!
Horses and goats are in pasture right next to the apartment and you can watch them from your bed!
Now that Winter has arrived, the milk way is SO easy to see. We are often in the path of the ISIS!!
Bring the dogs and let them enjoy the large fenced front yard, feel free to let them run free and off their leashes!
Bring the S'mores and use our fire pit to roast the marshmallows while gazing at the stars. No need to bring the firewood. We will provide enough for each night you are here and will lay the fire for you!!!
Come Springtime, enjoy your private 12 x 45 salt water pool. All YOURS to enjoy!!!!
Use the lounge chairs, patio table with umbrella
Apartment has been remodeled!!
New sofa bed and mattress. New dining room table.
Freshened up the place with new paint, furniture, pillows, dinnerware, glassware, etc.
The 8 point deer are our only neighbors.
Yet close to I-85 exit w/ Tanger Outlet for shopping, Starbucks and lots of restaurants such as Outback, Longhorns, Applebee's, and many more!

Mins to Lake Russell WMA & trout streams and hiking
40 min to Tallulah Falls

Enjoy the fire pit, corn hole game or horse shoe pit and then gaze at the milky way away from the city lights!!
Smoking is permitted outside only. Lots of swings and chairs to get comfortable in the shade.
Sleeps 4 in beds, but we do allow additional people but you need to provide your own blow up bed or pile into the two queen beds. Contact me before booking.
Some people pitch a tent and camp to get a true wilderness experience!
Sometimes we leave for the weekend giving you the ENTIRE farm to yourselves!
Total privacy!!!
We do not have any cameras in or near the apartment; just ones pointing to the barn and pasture to make sure our livestock are safe.

Great weekend away
The stay was great! Everything was set up nicely for us. We brought our dogs with us and all of us had a great time getting to see the horses, cows, goats, and donkey. The fenced in front area was great for the dogs to run around. The pool area was clean and relaxing. We were able to grill out on the propane barbecue and have smores at the the fire pit. There was good lighting outside and they had a flashlight available for us to use as well. Steve was very friendly and checked in with us each day we were there. He even invited us out to a local event where they had bluegrass playing! Unfortunately our toddler needed to go to bed, so we weren't able to go join in the fun. The apartment is well situated where there are restaurants, grocery store, and places to hike within 20+ minutes of the place. Great place to stay if you want a little farm life and be able to go out hiking and come back for a local restaurant or cooking at home.

Relaxing time on the Farm
Jill and Steve's farm is perfect for a country chill out place. The place is spotless, with everything you need. Lots of little antiques placed around to give you the real country feel. The animals were by far the highlight for my 11 and 13 year old. they feed, pet and played with the goats, horses, and even a minature donkey. They had a blast, highly recommend, we will come back. Very accomadating hosts!

Absolutely perfect!!
The home is sparkling clean and fresh!!! Love that! Linens are fresh and sleeping is very comfortable! There were 4 of us. We cooked on the grill and sat by the fire pit and the weather was perfect! The home is private and quiet and we thoroughly enjoyed the property and the goats, chickens, horses, and cows!!!!! We also took a dip in the saltwater pool which was cold but amazing! We definitely will be back when we are over this way as we thoroughly enjoyed our stay!!! Was very relaxing!!!

Such a lovely place
This mini vacation was the most pleasant experience to actually stay on a working farm. The apt was nice with everything we needed and the hospitality was over the top! We enjoyed all of the farm animals and had many goat and horse friends that greeted us whenever we wanted. You can watch them out of every window while on the couch, at the dining table, in bed and even when brushing your teeth! A mother horse name Julie brought her filly to see us every day and I loved watching her run and play. Another favorite was a beautiful white horse named silver who had the bluest eyes I have ever seen for a horse! The goats kept us entertained and we loved feeding all of them. If you want something different to do for a Long weekend or vacation- this is perfect. We went to Star gaze under the very dark sky and ended up with so much more! Thank you for sharing your beautiful farm with us!

Home away from home
Staying at "the farm" has ruined me for staying in a hotel. I can bring my dog and he can run off leash. I can make my meals. The pool is wonderful and always clean. Plus, I sleep better there than I do at home! Jill and Steve are excellent hosts. Jill always goes above and beyond to make sure I have everything I need when I stay.
