&nbsp; Creekside Getaway Take some time to relax and reconnect with nature at this beautifully furnished cabin on Emerson Branch! This unbeatable and unique location gives you direct access to the creek, the sounds of which can be heard from both decks. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate being so close to fantastic activities, including boating, fishing, paddleboarding, kayaking, canoeing, camping, hiking, golfing, and horseback riding. Located within six and a half miles are the Georgia Mountain Fair & Fair Grounds, home to live entertainment, concerts, festivals, and Hamilton Gardens. Lake Chatuge is a man-made reservoir with 132 miles of shoreline set to the backdrop of the Appalachian Mountains, just six miles away. Residents and visitors flock to Towns County during peak season for the boating, swimming, skiing, fishing, and camping opportunities this beautiful lake hosts. Located off Highway 76, the Towns County Recreational Beach offers free parking and beach access with a large playground, a roped-off swimming area, a covered pavilion, picnic tables, and chair rentals. Other must-visit attractions include the Appalachian Trail, Bell Mountain, Brasstown Bald, and High Shoals Falls.

The well-equipped kitchen has everything you need to prepare full-course meals or quick snacks on the go. Keurig and drip coffee makers are available and ready to please the coffee enthusiasts in your group. Enjoy a homemade feast, then retreat to the welcoming living area furnished with comfy sofas in front of a gorgeous wood-burning fireplace. Watch a favorite movie or show on the large TV or break out any of the provided board games for an entertaining evening at home. The enclosed deck off the living area offers a lovely space to unwind around the fire table or host memorable barbecues using the gas grill. The lower level is home to an entertaining recreation area with a pool table, a dartboard, and cozy seating in front of a TV and electric fireplace.
