The Space:
Located three minutes from the famous Toccoa Riverside Restaurant, just off Stanley Creek road, in the heart of the Aska adventure area. The drive is stunningly beautiful, meandering through beautiful thick forest and Toccoa River frontage providing an ultimate escape from the hustle of everyday life.
The owner is from Austria and wanted to portray a little about her home land and named it Waldhaus, pronounced vˈaltha͡ʊs. The literal translation is The Forest House. The home is tastefully decorated to reflect the beautiful setting, nestled privately by surrounding woods, it provides a wonderful soothing environment, lovely view and ample outdoor space to absorb the healing features of nature! You will find several references/pictures of Austria throughout the cabin.
Arriving through the gate from Stanley Creek Road, you will have a very short drive to the cabin. If you are driving an electric vehicle, park directly in line with the porch and the charger is just behind the bushes for easy access and charging. It is a level two quick charger. There are two additional parking spaces to the right of the cabin. The driveway and parking is all concrete for easy in/out access.
The owners put a lot of time and thought into the property and have done several updates/renovations to add enjoyment for your stay. This includes new granite countertops in the kitchen and bathrooms, new addition to the lower deck, new outdoor furniture, appliances, fixtures, mattresses and furniture in the living room and bedrooms.
You will enter off the driveway through the front door leading directly into the main living area. Your initial welcome features vaulted ceilings and glass windows for natural lighting. To the left is the fully appointed kitchen with appliances, to the right is the dining area for six, and two additional bar stools at the kitchen island.
The living room is directly off the kitchen and dining area with new furniture, large screen TV, gas fireplace with remote/timer, and access to the main level porch.
The porch has a very comfortable outdoor daybed, seating, picnic table, gas grill and offers a beautiful view of the mountains and surrounding woods. It overlooks the fire pit area and has gates so your fur baby can join you, run free and be safe while you relax. You can also access the lower level and fire pit area from the main level porch.
Back inside the main level has a king bedroom, with a full bathroom across the hall with vanity and walk-in shower. It also has a full size washer and dryer.
The upper level has a study loft with desk, lamp and chair, and a telescope to enjoy the clear night skies.
The king master suite bedroom is also on the upper level with a full bathroom featuring a shower, soaking tub, and dual vanities and walk-in closet. There is a private screened balcony with two new glider chairs, table and gas fire table to enjoy the beautiful evenings as a couple.
Access to the lower level is directly off the kitchen. It leads to an additional living area with a queen sofa bed, oversized chairs, games, pool table, chess table, and arcade game. There is also a gated cubby area, with a cozy bed, under the stairs for your furry family member.
The third bedroom is on the lower level. It features a queen bed, twin bunk beds and private full bathroom with tub/shower combo.
You can access the lower porch from the second living area. It includes a hot tub, wooden picnic table, additional seating and expanded deck with cover and uncovered areas. There are stairs to the upper deck location and stairs, with rails, leading down to the fire pit for safe access. Cornhole and horseshoes are provided for family fun!
Please note: the hanging hammock chairs are no longer available at the property.
Just off the fire pit is a trail that goes through the adjoining lot and comes out beside the house in front of the extended driveway section.
The owners have put so much love and attention to this beautiful cabin! The location is wonderful and they are very excited to offer it to you to enjoy with your friends and family!
