Traveled a bit doing bucket list things before I need to worry about regrets. Not a world traveler, not a constant guest at other people homes. That said for me this was one of my top 10 stays. A definite 2. “Hard to bet winter in Alaska for a heavy man.” The view from the big picture window! Spectacular, from the perfectly placed chairs in yard, breathtaking. Kitchen had a solitary cast iron skillet, bonus points for me personally. Home is old, sometime in the 20s, I believe but clean, clean. Multiple ac units much loved and appreciated. 👍 as the temps outside was tip toeing around 100. The single bed was comfortable and offered a great nights rest. The area wild life was abundant. Deer, raccoons, and a single fox 🦊. The grill? Is small. Eh I’m a bigger man so that’s just an opinion, but was charcoal, so bonus, and was able to hold my steak.

Loved my stay at the Billy Goat cabin !! There is a bit of history with this little cabin, and from what I could see from the gravel road to it, there were other time period structures around as well ! Would love to know more ! The cabin has all basic needs for a comfortable stay. The bed is top notch! Slept soundly! It has two a/c window units and two ceiling fans to keep it nice and cool. It was extremely private, too ! And other than the few trucks on the main road in the distance, it was very quiet ! Main feature is the spectacular view !! Along the bluff edge there is a short trail , but be very careful ! If you're brave enough, you might could ease down a section and explore the woods below. There are even a few blackberry bushes along the top !! It's within 15- 20 minutes to Desoto Fall/ Mentone, and same to Menlo/ Summerville, Ga. Would definitely love to stay again !!

As with each previous visit, there is a sense of peace to be found in this place. From the initial drive up to the first glimpse of the view into the Shinbone Valley, everything about this place is peaceful and rejuvenating to the soul. If you enjoy quiet small towns rich in history, you can find that a short drive from the cabin in any direction. Local food options are all fantastic, and so welcoming that you genuinely feel at home. We will be back again and again.
