Nestled in the Blue Ridge chain of the Appalachian mountains, in the 
shadow of Pickens Nose Mountain, North Carolina mountain cabins are 
just 5 miles from Dillard, Georgia is a very unique log cabin 
vacation rental hideaway. The lure of these early 1800's Appalachian 
style, log rental cabins in this setting is irresistible. Let your 
mind slip back in time. As you approach our cabins, you'll admire the 
hand-hewed craftsmanship that was used by the early Appalachian 
settlers and is still being duplicated today. Massive hemlock logs 
with their dovetail notched corners and chinking, exposed ceiling 
beams held in place by wooden pegs, a sleeping loft, pine floors and 
tin roofs form these primitive style homesteads. The charm of the 
1700's and 1800's but with all of the conveniences of today. 
Each cabin has a full kitchen with microwave, coffee maker, toaster; 
Rock fireplace, VCR with TV, telephone, BBQ Grill, porch rockers, 
swing, all linens, and towels. Ceiling fans cool the cabins on warm 
summer days; electric wall units heat each room for your comfort.

The road ends at our secluded hideaway … meaning there is no through 
traffic. Our property joins Betty's Creek (one of the most pristine, 
beautiful creeks in the area) and extends up Brushy Ridge Mountain 
where we join the 24,500 acre Southern Nantahala Wilderness and 
Standing Indian Wildlife & Bear Reserve.

A marked trail leads from our cabins west to join the scenic 
Appalachian Trail at Betty's Creek Gap (about 1 1/2 hour hike). There 
is an abundance of wild flowers in this Appalachian Rainforest from 
early spring until November; flowering trees; flame azaleas; mountain 
laurel; rhododendron; the many varieties of ferns; the clear tumbling 
streams; all add delight to your visit in all seasons. If you plan on 
day hiking, don't forget a rain coat or parka.

Wild turkey come to the creek daily to drink. Other wildlife using 
our property and the adjoining wilderness include: bear, white-tailed 
deer, raccoon, skunk, fox, squirrels, eagles, grouse and an array of 
songbirds. 

When you come to Turnstone Log Cabins, be prepared to relax, rock in 
our high-backed porch rockers, smell the clean mountain air, sit on 
huge rocks or your deck beside the creek and let your cares drift 
away…. Maybe you'll spot a wild turkey. Perhaps you'd enjoy fly-
fishing for rainbow trout at Andy's Trout Farm, it's just down the 
creek and you don't even need a license. (You gotta' try grilled 
rainbow trout… a real mountain treat) or spend the afternoon walking 
the marked and maintained mountain trails through the wilderness area 
or along the creek. NO POLLUTION … NO CROWDS … or schedules to keep.

Be sure to bring a sweater or light jacket even in the summer, since 
the evening temperature often drops below 55 degrees. The valley and 
creek is bathed with a very cool evening breeze coming down from the 
5000 foot high surrounding mountain peaks.
