Welcome to the Farmhouse
The North Georgia Cabin That Proves Group Travel Can Actually Be Comfortable
Yonah Mountain Farmhouse sits about 90 minutes north of Atlanta near Helen, Georgia in Sautee Nacoochee. Close enough for a weekend trip, far enough to feel like you’ve actually left. Some trips are about the destination, but this one will be about what happens when everyone finally gets there.
Inside, there are four beautifully designed bedrooms, each with a private ensuite. A chef’s kitchen built for big dinners, a dining table that seats twelve, and a hot tub that’s waiting for you at the end of the day.
Outside, there’s over 100,000 acres of Chattahoochee National Forest with plenty of hiking trails and waterfalls. And when you’re ready to slow down, you’re in the heart of North Georgia wine country with ten wineries along the Unicoi Wine Trail within minutes.
The hard part of planning a group trip is finding a cabin big enough to hold it well.
Yonah Mountain Farmhouse is that place.
main level
A chef's kitchen and a table for twelve
A professional 36-inch, six-burner gas range, a large island so everyone can pitch in, and a coffee bar stocked for the morning. In the evening, the wet bar has a wine fridge ready. Everyone sits down to dinner together at one table, at the same time.
Bedrooms
Four bedrooms, each with a private bath
Plenty of room to gather when you want to, and plenty of space to slip away when you need to Two primary suites are on the main level, one of them accessible, so guests who can’t do stairs are planned for from the start. A sofa bed in the lower level playroom adds extra sleeping room. This is how group travel should feel.
Lower Level
A game room for every age
Pool, ping pong, air hockey and board games keep the competition going, and the oversized sectional is made for movie nights. The second living area, with a few toys on hand, is a perfect spot for little ones. Outside, there’s a hot tub, a gas grill, and a fire pit in a backyard that opens onto the forest.

Our Story
We built the place we couldn't find
Some businesses start with a spreadsheet. Ours started with a road trip that changed everything.
We’d spent over a decade managing private homes in Stowe, Vermont helping guests find the right place and making sure they left happy. Then we visited the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Georgia, and something shifted. The wines. The small-town pace. The kind of beauty that makes you slow down and breathe. We were hooked.
The problem was that we couldn’t find a place to purchase that really hit the mark. So we did what any slightly obsessed hospitality people would do and we built one from scratch. We pulled from everything we learned in Vermont, researched locations carefully, and made every decision with one goal in mind: create a place where families and friends could gather in real comfort, without any of the usual compromises. Enough space. Enough beds. A kitchen worth cooking in. A living room worth lingering in.
We’re proud of what we built. Even prouder of what happens here.
