STUNNING HOME ON BABBLING FODDER CREEK

Nestled among Hiawassee’s rolling hills, in the shadow of Brasstown Bald, our home sits on 490 feet of picturesque Fodder Creek. The house offers rustic charm with contemporary elegance. Built in 2007, and winner of five design awards, the mountain retreat provides a perfect getaway for relaxation, outdoor activities nearby, and romance. It's an ideal location for your family's
get away or vacation, or to celebrate a special or romantic occasion offering spacious, cozy accommodations for up to seven people. The first floor
affords an open floor plan with gourmet kitchen, and island bar, seating two.Notice that there is a closet for the washer/dryer, available to our guests for their use. The adjacent dining area has a wood table which seats seven. The inviting great room lures you with a stack-stone, propane fireplace with a stone hearth to warm your hands or just sit on. We have HD TV (with the NFL football pkg.), as well as a DVD player (and a large selection of movies to view for all ages. The bookcase invites you to select a book to read or a game to play. The guest bedroom has a queen-size log bed, with a pull-out trundle bed. This room also has a nice walk-in closet to store your belongings in. Adjoining via door is the first floor, bathroom with its large vanity, tub and shower. Ascend the staircase to the gracious master suite, which encompasses the second floor, providing sanctuary within. Be pampered by its luxurious chaise lounge while viewing nature and sounds of the babbling creek through a wall of windows.The suite features cathedral ceilings, featuring the large, deer horn chandelier. This suite has another floor to ceiling, propane-fired fireplace with stone hearth - enjoy another HD television, too. There is a large wet bar where you can enjoy coffees, a bottle of wine and is fully stocked, including a microwave for those snacks. Enjoy your refreshments at the inviting, two-seat cafe set and take in more pastoral views from the front windows. In this area there is a daybed with a pull up trundle -bed- additional sleeping for two persons - or a perfect niche to enjoy a book or take a nap.The king canopy bed was commissioned to reflect the trees viewed from the large windows. The suite also features two bathrooms: one for him with walk-in, glass shower, vanity area and generous closet to store your belongings. The second, large full bathroom offers an inviting soaking tub, bathrobes for your use as well as a large dressing/vanity area with amazing storage available.The wall of windows invites one to open the windows and let in the sounds of the creek while soaking in the tub (which also has a hand-held shower wand, should you prefer). Now, go explore the amazing nature which abounds in the rear of the home - enjoy peaceful breezes and views of the creek while dining outdoors; or gather around the flagstone fire pit and relax in chairs and seatee for the evening, under a canopy of mountain laurel and large, old trees, including one that is native to the area and unusual. It is known as the Buckeye Tree and drops red, hard nuts in the fall. In the spring, you will enjoy the expansive vision of native blooming mountain laurel bushes
along the creek's edge. The property winds along 490 feet of Fodder Creek, and can be accessed easily; or just sit, gaze, read, nap, chat on our patio with native reed chairs and a chaise lounge to relax on. One can walk in the creek and explore the various falls, islands and parts with holes deep enough to bathe in.Trout have been caught in these spring-fed waters. The stone walkway invites you to stroll to all the above areas in the back yard. There are also lovely cushions available for the seatees and chairs in the large storage box up by the dining area, along with several children's life jackets, if needed. We hope you will find your special moment and place here to be refreshed and invigorated by Fodder Creek's soothing sounds or sampling the local cities diverse charms.We hope you will be so enchanted, you'll will return to explore what you might not have been able to enjoy this trip. The RICH HISTORY of our valley and surrounding mountains is amazing - from
indian tribes long before history began (Mayan); the Cherokee tribes have left us with
monuments, mounds, and proof of how they lived before the Trail of Tears. The area
is known for its gold mining, marble mining and the oldest mountains, worldwide, as
well as the largest documented number of flora and fauna. Chances are, one of the notches you see atop a mountain was used by Native Indians as a place of worship or
fielding their stock.

Lovely cottage
We loved the decor and layout of this cozy cottage! The hosts had a welcome bag for us and the kitchen was extremely well stocked. We referred to the upstairs as the “penthouse” as I felt I was in a five star suite. Recommend highly. Loved the back garden and brook.

Cute place to relax
We enjoyed the peace and tranquility of the back area along the creek. The nights out back were awesome and the neighborhood was great. The nearby KOA campground created a good bit of traffic during the early mornings and late afternoons but otherwise we were able to sleep. Short scenic drive into town and same for seeing the Brass Town Bald Mountaintop and nearby Blairsville for site seeing.

And the VRBO award goes to….
Karen and David give a master class with their hosting and decorating of this stunning home. We’ve stayed in several VRBOs (three this trip alone) and by far, this is the absolute best we have ever been in. Not only is the property perfect, but Karen and David are amazing hosts. Way above and beyond anything we have ever experienced! When you go, and trust me you should, stay up late, turn out all the lights and look out the back at the wonder of millions of fireflies in the trees. It is too perfect to fully put into words. Thank you so much! We can’t wait to come back and stay longer! VRBO, if you have an award, this house and these hosts deserve top honors!

This was our second stay at the Fodder Creek Cabin. It was just as we remembered . . . cozy, peaceful, and relaxing. Morning coffee out by the creek is amazing! The cabin is extremely well stocked and clean. Our hosts were easy to contact and ensured that we had everything we needed. We look forward to coming back again in the future!

Little Piece of Heaven on Earth
No words can summarize our week in this paradise. It was a three generation get together, 81 - 8 years old. The photos don't do it justice, it is so much more. The kitchen is well equipped, the home is beautifully decorated and comfortable. Beds are so comfy, and two of us have had back surgeries! From entry to exit, we loved every minute. The creek was our main focus, several days we did not leave the property. We hated to leave, so we booked another two week stay this coming summer. The hosts were easy to contact and communicate. We stay in dozens (even hundreds) of VRBO's around the world, but this has topped them all.

Relaxing Birthday Stay
The pictures and description does not fully capture the beauty of the location. The location is amazing and very inviting. There is nothing like waking up the first morning to the sun and taking in your breathe taking surrounding and view is like nothing else. This place has the feel of being secluded but yet you are still near a pharmacy and grocery store. Karen & Dave are very nice and inviting and make you feel welcome from the moment your booking is confirmed. They go the extra mile to make there home feel like your home. They have a good selection of K-cup coffees and teas. My party only had one inconvenience and that was lady bugs were in the upstairs room. Overall our stay was wonderful and a great way to unwind from the stress of life. I will definitely be back.

We loved it.
The property is wonderful both inside and outside. The backyard has several great sitting areas, and the creek is beautiful. We have rented quite a few vacation houses through the years but none that have been this well-appointed and this well-stocked. But even more than the property, the owners/hosts were wonderful when a death in our family necessitated a late change in our travel plans and they were so kind and helpful in resolving our issues. This was an A+ experience in all respects.

Creek Life
Our Stay: Fodder Creek house was lovely. Plenty of linens; dinnerware; pod coffee dispenser and the regular coffee pot were available, well stocked with condiments; soaps; two fireplaces and a very nice firepit! We brought a magic flame packet that turned the firepit flames a dancing blue, wrapped our battery operated fairy lights around a couple of tree trunks, popped a good bottle of wine, set out the couple dozen roses and celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary in an enchanted forest by the creek! I had ordered a cake from a very nice local grocery store, Ingles but beware, the filling or icing tasted spoiled :( they took it back no problem. The Area: a very scenic 30 minute drive to Helen where we joined friends for Octoberfest; a very scenic 35 minutes where we flew through the air on a Zipline across a lake at 65 MPH!! We then calmed down and hiked a couple of waterfalls nearby and also picnicked at the lake a couple times in Hiawassee. We HIGHLY recommend Marys Breakfast Grill on the north side of the lake. AMAZING CREPES. Excellent service. Our Hosts: very generous, immediately available by phone and most generous with their home and hospitality!

Paradise on Fodder Creek
A big thank you to Karen and Dave for sharing their little slice of heaven. They were so welcoming and helpful during our visit! Their lovely cabin was something out of a magazine - simply stunning! It was fully stocked and immaculate! The back yard area was landscaped beautifully, and we so enjoyed the sounds of the creek. We had daily visits from a family of deer, and the lightning bugs appeared at twilight! In addition, the cabin was the perfect jumping off point for the day trips we planned! We could not have asked for more!!

Beautiful Cabin/Relaxing Stay!
I cannot say enough wonderful things about this beautiful cabin on Fodder Creek! From the moment you step out of the car, you can hear the relaxing sounds of the creek behind the house. When you walk inside, the home is well appointed and has everything you could ever need during your stay. The hosts have thought of everything and truly make you feel at home. The backyard is like a secret enchanted garden......the landscaping, the paths, the various swings/benches, the deck and the best part, the amazing babbling creek. You'll feel all your stresses melt away. My little family had the best mountain vacation and this cabin was a huge reason why. Thank you, Karen and Dave, for opening up this property for people to enjoy. We hope to return soon!

Worked perfectly for our group of 3 adults. Master bedroom is a sanctuary; backyard and creek are hidden gems.
