What is your favorite type of historic lodging in North Georgia?
I personally love this great and eye-opening post on the historical vacation rentals in north Georgia Great looking pictures and a wonderful edifice of natural water flowing in the beauty of the hills.
I love everything historical as a theologian and I love taking time apart, travelling to new places and studying nature around me, and around the world. and I think that Historical vacation rentals are a great take for me. thanks, roe this great work and keep on the good work.
So happy to hear this Nathan! Thanks for sharing!
I never thought of North Georgia as being a vacation destination. I love those quaint cottages. It seems like everything except the caboose is for more than 2 people. Is it possible for a couple to rent space in any of these vacation destinations?
I love the ability to get away from the hustle and bustle of daily life and slow down to century old destinations for a holiday.
Hi Carolyn, these rental listings are for the entire property, so some of the larger rentals may be too big for a couple traveling by themselves. However, it is common for groups of friends to go in together to split the cost of larger vacation rentals and keep everyone together to allow for more bonding time during vacation!
I was looking at the Yellow bird cottage in Cleveland, looks beautiful. What kind of food places does the town of Cleveland have, my partner and I are big steak lovers. Also I see there’s a water park near by, what months does this open? or if its easier when does it close?
Hi Sam, The water-based attractions are generally open daily from Memorial Day through Labor Day, and sometimes they open on weekends outside of those dates if the weather is warm enough.
Cleveland has a handful of casual restaurants to choose from (try Clyde’s for steak), or venture over to nearby towns of Helen or Dahlonega for even more options.
Many of these cabins are truly stunning and it sure sounds like Northern Georgia is the perfect place to vacation if you’re looking for a little R and R and you have a love of all things history. I especially like the Mountain log cabin and the fact that it sleeps eight. Would be a great place to rent and have family meet up so we could enjoy a weekend together.
Hi Alicia, I’ve traveled with groups of family and friends to many destinations, and it’s always nice to have a place that can accommodate us all! Enjoy!
Hi Alyce
Thanks for sharing your views on the historic vacation rentals in North Georgia .your selection of historic cabins is awesome. I liked restored 1929 caboose and the yellow bird cottage lot. There is so much to enjoy in North Georgia and your every article makes me more excited to visit the place. Cost and comfort wise it is excellent.
Warm Regards,

Hi Guarav, Those are both really unique vacation rentals in North Georgia. I know you’ll have a great stay at either one!
I love the look of cabins. And i want to go here now! they look great. What is the cheapest one I could stay at? I think i love the idea of living here but as it says in the title. it’s only rentals, Which Cabin is the best to stay in? Here in Orlando we have a place called Camp Ocala and they have cabins but we don’t have the views like this post shows.
Thanks for the great post!
The Former 19th Century Schoolhouse / Cottage has the lowest average cost per night. However, if you have a large group, it may be more economical to split a big rental with your group and spend more time together!
