Weekend Trip to Herzen Platz (a place in the Heart)
We had a great stay at Hertzen Platz. The tent was very spacious and as comfortable as the photos and previous guests conveyed. Gary was a welcoming host who clearly cares about the land and delivering a top-notch experience, breakfast was awesome as well!

2 nights at Hiawassee Glamping
We had an awesome stay at the container tree house. Wasn't sure what to expect but we were extremely happy. The view is amazing and the house its self is cozy especially for a couple looking for a great weekend. My wife had an amazing birthday and went on and on about how great the place was. The hot tub looking out into the mountains with the lake below is pretty epic!
Brian the host gave us tons of recommendations and even helped us find a mountain biking trail where my wife got to have her first ride and now she's hooked.
We will definitely be coming back and will most likely try all three units on the property as they all look killer. I almost don't want to write this review so that we can keep this a secret for ourselves.
Thanks Brian, we will be back...

What a value!!!!!!! 😍🤑
Dirk our host was very accommodating. We felt very safe and secure on site. We really appreciated all the communal amenities like the grill, hot tub, fire pit. Being able to bring pets with no additional al charge, also a big plus. Each teepee rental receives their OWN bathroom (away from the teepee) and each teepee has a mini fridge and air conditioning!! Dirk mentioned they might switch them out for heaters in the cold months. Also not mentioned in the listing, there is a stocked pond on site with small mouth and crappie.
Special tip, the chilhowee recreation area can be reached in LESS than 20 min via Benton Springs road, which is a mildly adventurous, low speed gravel switchback mountain road. Any vehicle should be fine in dry conditions with minimal clearance.
Excited to come back with friends and family!

Comfortable well equipped and spacious tent. Host was very accommodating. Tons of activities nearby for kids and not too far out of Atlanta for an easy outdoor escape. Would recommend!

Cabin was absolutely gorgeous, Susan and her cleaning lady was very accommodating, especially considering we made last minute reservations. The cabin and location were pretty good, my only complaints would be that the gas fireplace didn't seem to work, and the hot tub was an inflatable tub instead of a full size hot tub, and we couldn't seem to find the remote for the downstairs television. These slight issues aside, the cabin itself was still quite lovely and we enjoyed our time there.

1 night at Herzen Platz (a place in the Heart)
The land is beautiful here. I loved sitting by the creek and identifying the array of different plant and tree species. Gary is a wonderful host. We shared open minded conversation and he prepared us a delicious seed oil free, dairy free, gluten free breakfast, with ease. We enjoyed our stay.

The place has all the amenities and luxaries, but you get to listen to the stream and nighttime noises all night. Gary was such a kind and considerate host and his an breakfast was amazing. I'd highly recommend it for anyone looking for a peaceful and refreshing Glamping experience.

Weekend Trip to Herzen Platz (a place in the Heart)
Gary was so welcoming and kind! My partner and I really enjoyed our one night getaway in the woods! It was peaceful and super close to Helen!
We both loved the spaciousness of the tent and amenities provided. The coffee maker was a welcome addition as well as the hot tub! However, keep in mind that the hot tub is not by the campsite, but near the host's house, so bring a swimsuit! I read the reviews prior, so I knew this.
The host's house is far enough away to feel private, but close enough to have some peace of mind. He has several dogs as a reviewer mentioned, but they are SUPER sweet and friendly. The only time I heard them bark was when he was on his way to bring us our delicious breakfast!
Don't go in expecting something super fancy. This is camping...but in comfort! I wasn't feeling very good when we decided last minute to camp, so this was just what I needed. Nature with some little comforts of home and security.
Thank you Gary. We truly appreciate your hospitality and the effort you put into making your guests feel comfortable and welcome! You're awesome!

2 nights at Herzen Platz (a place in the Heart)
Gary was an exceptional host making sure we had everything we needed and helped with anything troubles we might have had as well as making any recommendations for us around town. Breakfast was nothing short of divine so highly recommend for any coming to stay here to add that to their trip. Have already spoken to him about staying again in the near future so if you have any hesitance about booking here do not worry as it is well worth time and money to spend time in a wonderful area and being able to talk with a great conversationalist as Gary.

Weekend Trip to Herzen Platz (a place in the Heart)
Herzen Platz campsite offers a tranquil escape surrounded by nature, with a creek running through it that adds to the peaceful ambiance. Gary's warm welcome made it feel like home, and his hospitality was top-notch. He lives on site, but strikes the perfect balance between giving you all the privacy you need and being available for a chat whenever you want. The campsite's secluded setting allowed me to truly unwind and enjoy my own company. The food offerings were a delightful surprise, with tasty dishes and beautiful presentation. Overall, it's an ideal spot to relax and recharge.

Weekend Trip to Tiny Home Way
Joni’s place was very cute and fit the bill for what we were looking for a quiet weekend stay! About thirty to forty minutes from great areas like Dahlonega and Blairsville, we got to explore both town and forest and have a cozy place to crash. Be mindful you can see the other tiny homes if you’re looking for something extremely quiet.
