Hiker’s Haven – Your Mountain Basecamp in the Heart of North Georgia

Welcome to Hiker’s Haven, a cozy and inviting retreat nestled in the Trackrock section of Blairsville—a favorite for hikers, outdoor lovers, and anyone looking to unplug and recharge in nature. Surrounded by lush forest and just a short drive to the area’s most iconic trails and waterfalls, this hillside cabin is the perfect basecamp for adventure and relaxation alike.

Inside, you'll find a comfortable loft with a king-sized bed, while the main floor features a twin daybed with a pull-out trundle, perfect for families or a group of friends. The layout is both functional and welcoming, with plenty of room to rest after a long day on the trails. The wood-burning fireplace adds warmth and ambiance on chilly nights, while a quiet and efficient HVAC system keeps the cabin comfortable all year round. The fully equipped kitchen offers everything you need to cook hearty meals, prep trail snacks, or enjoy a quiet dinner in.

Outside, the covered front porch is your front-row seat to the natural beauty that surrounds the cabin. Sip your morning coffee, read a good book, or just breathe in the crisp mountain air. Later, gather around the outdoor firepit for a peaceful evening under the stars.

You’ll have access to nearly 5 acres of beautifully maintained grounds, including gazebos, picnic areas, fire pits, swings, and benches around a tranquil pond. Parking is conveniently located directly in front of the cabin, and while the property is easy to access from Town Creek School Road, it feels worlds away from the hustle and bustle.

Please note: There are stairs leading to the cabin, as shown in the photos.

Easy to find, very accommodating, clean and comfortable. Nothing fancy, the drive to Helen(the reason we were in the area)is longer than we expected but a good stay non the less and Sarah was so, so nice and always got back with me in a timely manner.
Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2023

Quaint and quiet cabin that had everything we needed and more for a great visit to the beautiful Georgia mountains. Close to many fun places and to great restaurants and shopping too. Perfect size for my husband, myself and our granddog.
