It began about 30 years ago with an overnight tent stay at Amicolala Falls where the abundance of rainbow trout made for our adventure's first dinner. The stinging mountain winds and drizzle-led approaching cold front - the first of the season - was nature's inhospitable welcome mat as we set out the next morning from the Appalachian Trail's southern terminus at Springer Mountain. After several days of braving weather and warnings about the "wild man of Gooch Gap," we shed backpacks and headed out in the comfort of a 1974 Opel Manta. "Brown's Guide to Georgia" was still crafted of paper and ink, and the world was unaware of  Al Gore's new invention - the internet. "Brown" guided us to Dahlonega, where in 1929,  the first significant U.S. gold rush began, 20 years before California would somehow stake its claim as the nation's first gold rush site.  During the summer of 2003, a family vacation brought me back to Dahlonega. Things haven't changed all that much. California still thinks the rest of the nation is behind the curve and Dahlonega hasn't lost any of its down home charm.  Within 90 days we acquired our property and in 2005 started construction on our "little cabin." Our home away from home has hosted two family Thanksgiving Holiday gatherings. Family and close friends from near and far look forward to the event and each year it has grown. We will retire to our little cabin when work is done. But for now, we would love for you to enjoy it like we do. Take care of it as if it were your own. Don't hesitate to call us if you have any questions and remember, as our guest, you too, are a part of our family.
