We have owned this property since 2005. The pond is a favorite place of ours and we would love to share it with you!! We live just up the mountain are here for you via text if you need anything at all during your stay with us.
The pond is in the middle of about a 4 acre area that is totally forested & makes a great place to get away from the madness of life & get into nature. Our street ends in a cul-de-sac, minimizing traffic in the area, but the spot is right along a street. You will be able to see & hear cars going by the site. On the other hand, it is also right along a deer path & just this morning I saw 2 does & a baby walking through the site. There is a resident hawk & a gaggle of turkeys that live in the area in addition to pileated woodpeckers & all sorts of other birds.
Come check it out and please let us know if you have any questions.

We would love to have you at the Pond at Dogwood Acres. Our pond is just a little pond, but it is full of life and makes for a cozy little campsite. You will be the only ones camping here. There is a long parking spot suitable for cars/SUVs/trucks and even a trailer or pop up.
There are hiking trails leading into the woods at the right side of the end of the drive. Feel free to enjoy them.
We are surrounded by the Chattahoochee National Forest and here in Towns County we are 80% National Forest. Lake Chatuge is close by (less than 10 minutes) in Hiawassee has 132 miles of shoreline. The Appalachian Trail weaves all through the area and you can get to numerous access points for the AT within about 30 minutes. There are a many waterfalls throughout our area within about a 30 minute drive as well. The closest is Cupid Falls just behind Young Harris College. Fire's Creek in Hayesville is a favorite spot. Otherwise you can head towards Vogel State Park and find many more.
Head north on state road 66 heading out of Young Harris towards Warne, North Carolina. Travel almost 4 miles passing 339 and then make a right on Brasstown Lane. If you see mile marker 4 or get to Warne, you passed it. Once you turn onto Brasstown Lane it will be on the right side. Coming from North Carolina head south on 66 out of Warne and make a left onto Brasstown Lane. We are about 1 mile south of the North Carolina state line. We are somewhat in the middle of Blairsville (GA), Hiawassee (GA) and Hayeville (NC). Not far from us is the John C. Campbell Folk School in Brasstown, NC and just a bit further is Murphy, NC.

Absolutely amazing stay would definitely come back! Ralph was responsive and we had pretty much unlimited wood along with use of the common room all to ourselves. It was an amazing location for tent camping with the creek lulling us to sleep both nights.

Another incredible stay at Rest and Relax Retreat ! I try to get up here and tent camp at least every 2 to 3 weeks. Ralph does have a couple of cabins that you can rent also but…I prefer tent camping, especially in the winter right next to the creek. As usual, it exceeded my expectations just with the beauty of the place and all the nice accommodations that Ralph provides…such as, a canopy for each tent site, a smokeless fire pit for each site, and a hammock and picnic table also for each site, oh, and did I mention the common house… where there is a seating area with plenty of outlets to recharge your phone or power station if need be, while you enjoy a cup of coffee from the provided Keurig, coffee, sugar and cream, included and or, take a hot shower at one of two bathrooms inside the common house. He also provides firewood at no charge. Most of the time I have so much wood left over that I can’t even burn it all in the weekend stay ! But if I do run low, it is no problem. I can text Ralph or usually before he turns in for the evening… he will do his walk around to each site. Making sure that everyone has anything and everything that they need, before he himself turns in for the night. The land is beautiful, so are his dogs and his goats. You won’t go wrong if you choose this place… relax by the creek 10 feet away, with a campfire going just in front of you, to soothe your anxieties away. Thank you so much again Ralph for everything!

This site was perfect! Ralph had everything set up for us in advance a canopy, chairs, hammock, fire pit, and all the wood we could need. Loved the trickle sound of the stream at night. Was surprised the price included all the extras. The common area was brand new and clean. We would definitely camp here again or in one of the cabins.

Ralph has put together the perfect camping spot. Falling asleep by a babbling creek beside the fire - under the stars - was the best way I can think of to end a day. We climbed the hill out back to the top where a picnic table was waiting. The smokeless fire pit was so neat.

I had a great time, resting and relaxing in my tent! Ralph, the host, was extremely accommodating. The views were absolutely spectacular! The fresh air was great! Waking up in the morning, drinking coffee next to the creek! Resting at night, creekside, beside a campfire was glorious! The common area was extremely clean and inviting. Being able to go over and take a hot shower, while recharge my power station was great! Thank you so much Ralph! I will be back very soon and… I recommend this place easily, to anyone who just wants to rest, relax, and enjoy the peace and quiet of nature. Go, and recharge your body, mine and soul!

Ralph is the perfect host. He provided us with free wood and had everything set up for us when we got in. Once we were settled he checked in to make sure we were pleased with the place, which we were completely! He walked his dog and checked the perimeter trail at night and keeps a quiet, clean, and peaceful place. We have camped many places but I will say this has to be my favorite. The bath house is the nicest I’ve ever seen. 2 full baths and an awesome living space to hang out in. We absolutely loved it here. Lots of privacy and right on the river. We got to sleep hearing the river flow all night. Perfect camping trip

What a safe sweet oasis to camp and land after long hiking days. The space is described perfectly in host description. We loved seeing the turkey and deer families stroll through, found plenty of deadfall firewood, and slept like a dream next to the sweetest little pond. Will stay again! Also the little library was amazing and thoughtful!

We booked a campsite at another place and when people started acting shady we decided to leave for our safety and found this spot.
We arrived after dark which I try not to do but we had nowhere else to go and with short notice Ralph was extremely welcoming and understanding of our situation.
This experience was one of a kind. I've used hipcamp all over the country and this experience was something we will never forget.
The campsites are spaced out along a beautiful piece of land with firewood, zero gravity chairs, hammock, picnic tables, canopy and amazing common area with very clean bathrooms that had showers with hot water!
In the short time he had to get prepared for us he had everything ready for us and gave us a tour of where everything was. Ralph took us down to the site, got our fire going, gave us a lantern, and set up our chairs so we could set up camp again that evening. He even had towels and rags waiting for us to take a shower the next morning!
If you want to truly rest and relax this man's goal is to make it happen for you. He has put a lot of effort into this place and it shows from the moment you arrive to when you leave. Don't pass this place up if you are looking for somewhere to camp in the area especially if you've been camping for several day's already like us and in need of a shower!
We will be coming back for years to come and appreciate Ralph sharing this great place with us!

What an amazing stay! There are too many good things to say from the value to the quality and care put into this place.
Ralph has thoroughly planned the camp sites ensuring everything is well thought out. The tall grasses create a great buffer for sound and privacy, and walking paths are very well maintained and lights are clearly directing you around the campus.
New and spotless amenities! (Bathhouse, hammock, chairs, canopy, etc) very clean and even provided coffee in the common house. He even hand delivered wood and started our fire, AND setup a canopy over our hammock because of the rain prior to arrival. He was an amazing host.
We were napping RIGHT next to the creek. The peaceful sounds were so soothing. I’m a pretty big critic and this place FARRRR exceeded my expectations. I only wish we could have stayed longer, but we’ll be back!
Places like this make me so grateful for Hipcamp!
