About this property

The South River Cottage

  • The 1940's Cabin sits just walking distance from the South River. It has a rustic feel but all modern amenities. There are 2 eating areas 1 inside and 1 outside with plenty of tables and chairs on the deck. 2 bedrooms with queen beds and a 3rd room with a twin/ trundle underneath. Also, a couch that pulls out to a full bed. A short walk from our front door is Arabia Mountain Trail. Great for biking or hiking .It feels remote here but close to everything. 35 minutes to airport. 10-20 minutes to Conyers, Covington and Mcdonough , 25 min to Stone Mountain and 30 minutes to Atlanta . The cabin is surrounded by woods in the country and is located at the end of a long gravel driveway. There are 2 homes on the property . I live in one and one is our rental. Homes are close. You have complete privacy of decks and back yard. We give our guests complete privacy. Self check in. We are nearby to help if needed. No parties allowed. No unlimited guest without permission. We have cats that lay all around. A small shy dog. We do allow pets . We do charge a pet cleaning fee of 65$ depending on type of dog and how many.

This location looks just like the pics. Very quiet, clean, and cozy. Plenty of furnished dishes, bottled water, snacks, and coffee. A friendly cat that sits on the front porch who loves people and Misty (the owner of the cottage) is quick to answer any questions. Will definitely be back.

Sweet Country Chic Home

Everything was spic and span and decorated so nicely in country shabby chic. Misty was quickly responsive to any requests. The kitchen was very well stocked and had a case of bottled water for us in the fridge. Our two pups enjoyed the secluded location for our walks but the restaurants were just a 10-15 minute drive.

My husband and I stayed here with our two dogs for four days and had a wonderful experience. The cottage is tucked away in the woods, creating a quiet and peaceful retreat. The wooded setting also provided plenty of shade and welcome relief from the Georgia summer heat. The cottage was clean, well maintained, and comfortable throughout our stay. We especially enjoyed the beautiful viewing area overlooking the South River, complete with seating where we could relax and take in the scenery. Misty was incredibly kind, responsive, and easy to communicate with. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely be returning the next time we're in the area.
