Nestled among the mountains, amid views of the Chattahoochee National Forest, Hiawassee, Georgia, is a hidden gem for couples in search of privacy and relaxation. While the downtown area offers the convenience of restaurants and shopping, the surrounding mountains form the perfect backdrop for a honeymoon cabin.
You can fall asleep here to the relaxing sounds of a babbling brook and waterfall in the cabin's outdoor water gardens. Highlighted in the August 2004 edition of Log Home Living magazine, the Apple Orchard cabin features a stone fireplace and views of Lake Chatuge and the Tusquitee Mountains.

Rustic decor and its location just steps from a river make this a traditional cabin experience. The site near enough to town for conveniences but secluded enough for a private hot tub on the covered deck. Solid log beds and a riverside picnic area complete the setting. Black Bear Cabin lets you "get away from it all" without being too far away.
