About this property

Happy Trails - Explore, Play, Then Unwind

  • Reasons to Book
    A peaceful mountain escape where relaxation comes naturally
    Game room with billiards, foosball, arcade style gaming, and an oversized TV
    Two screened porches with outdoor fireplace, hot tub, and relaxing gathering spaces
    Minutes from award winning wineries, Amicalola Falls, hiking, and outdoor adventure
    Family friendly retreat designed for making memories and slowing down together

    Tucked away among the trees with no neighboring homes in sight, Happy Trails is the kind of mountain retreat where it's easy to disconnect from the noise and reconnect with what matters most. Surrounded by nature and thoughtfully designed for families and groups, this private getaway offers the perfect balance of relaxation, adventure, and quality time together.

    Whether you're gathering around the outdoor fireplace, soaking in the hot tub beneath the stars, or simply enjoying the peaceful wooded setting from one of two screened porches, Happy Trails invites you to slow down and settle into mountain life. The main-level porch features a wood-burning fireplace, outdoor dining, and a TV for cozy evenings outdoors, while the lower-level porch offers a covered hot tub, daybed swing, and additional seating for unwinding after a day of exploring.

    Inside, the fun continues in the game room, where guests of all ages can enjoy foosball, billiards, a game table loaded with electronic games, and an 85-inch Smart TV perfect for movie nights and game-day gatherings. Spacious gathering areas throughout the home make it easy to spend time together while still finding your own space to relax.

    When you're ready to venture out, some of North Georgia's best attractions are just minutes away. Spend the day exploring Amicalola Falls State Park, home to one of the tallest waterfalls east of the Mississippi, or enjoy hiking, ziplining, archery, and scenic mountain views throughout the area. Wine lovers will appreciate being within a short drive of several local wineries, while cyclists and outdoor enthusiasts will find endless opportunities for adventure nearby.

    At the end of the day, return to the quiet comfort of Happy Trails, where crackling fires, peaceful surroundings, and unforgettable mountain moments await.
