The Creek

A lush bamboo forest with green stalks and a small gravel pathway leading through the trees in the North Georgia Mountains.

Just a short two-minute walk from the back deck, a wide gravel path gently winds through the forest — your gateway to a one-of-a-kind creekside retreat. Along the way, you’ll pass through a towering bamboo grove that stops nearly everyone in their tracks. With stalks soaring high above and leaves whispering in the breeze, this natural wonder adds an unexpected and unforgettable moment of awe to your journey.

At the end of the path, the forest opens to reveal a shady, serene stretch of knee-deep creek — perfect for splashing, tossing sticks for the dogs, or floating the afternoon away in a tube. Nearby, a creekside firepit invites you to slow down, swap stories, and roast marshmallows under the trees.

Meandering paths cover nearly half a mile of trails through the woods and around the grounds, ideal for forest bathing and a walking meditation. Keep your eyes out for our historic marker tree — a centuries-old bent hardwood that once served as a navigational guide, pointing the way to water or sacred grounds for the region’s earliest travelers.

This place is a blend of wonder, peace, and living history — the kind of place where memories root deeply and linger long after your stay.
