Some properties make an impression long before you open the front door. This one starts with the drive in. Built in 2022 and offered fully furnished, this mountain home has already proven itself as a successful short term rental, generating approximately $60,000 in rental income over the past year. It's ready for its next owner to enjoy from day one, without spending months furnishing, decorating, or figuring out what works. Inside, you'll find more than 2,000 square feet with two bedrooms, two and a half baths, a bunk room, and a versatile bonus room that gives family and guests room to spread out. The layout comfortably accommodates up to seven guests, and even includes a thoughtfully designed nursery. Step outside and you'll understand why guests keep coming back. A small branch meanders through the property, creating a peaceful backdrop that feels more like a private treehouse than a typical cabin. Mornings begin on the deck with the sound of running water. Evenings end around the custom fire pit or curled up beside one of the two electric fireplaces. One feature you don't often find in mountain cabins is a two car garage, offering plenty of space for vehicles, outdoor gear, or owner storage. Located inside Coosawattee River Resort, you'll have access to community amenities while still enjoying the privacy that draws so many people to the North Georgia mountains. If you've been searching for a cabin with a strong rental history, modern finishes, and a setting guests remember long after checkout, I'd love to show you this one.
