The Haven | A-Frame Retreat in the North Georgia Mountains
Some places you visit once. This one you come back to. A place where people exhale.
Tucked in the mountains of Sky Valley, this lovingly restored 1970s A-frame sleeps up to 8 guests across 3 bedrooms and a bunk area, with the kind of character you can’t manufacture. Think flagstone floors worn smooth by decades of mountain life, tongue-and-groove ceilings, and deer and horn accents that feel right at home here. Then add a modern kitchen, a spa-like soaking tub, a retro-inspired shower room, and upscale finishes throughout, and you have something rare: a cabin that actually feels like a retreat.
Guests have called it cozy, magical, and the best trip of the year. With 50+ five-star Airbnb and VRBO reviews, The Haven has earned its reputation as one of the most beloved escapes in the North Georgia mountains.
Whether you are gathering your family for a long-overdue trip, planning a girls weekend that no one will stop talking about, or simply craving a few quiet days in the woods, The Haven is ready for you. Hike to waterfalls, fish in clear mountain streams, float the river, hunt for antiques in nearby towns, or do absolutely nothing at all.
The mountains are calling. Come find your haven.
Hi! I’m Jill!
The Haven holds a very special place in our hearts. Back in December 2023, we discovered this sweet 1970s A-frame tucked in the North Georgia mountains, worn down, but full of potential.
We saw what she could be and we gave her everything we had. 18 months of restoring, rebuilding, and reimagining later, she became something we are genuinely proud of.
What we did not expect was how much she would mean to the people who stay here.
Over the past two years, families have gathered around her firepits, friends have lingered on her deck long after their coffee went cold, and guests have written to tell us they are already planning their return. That is everything to us.
Now it is your turn.
Here are a few of our favorite ways to soak it all in:
☕ Sipping coffee on the deck as the morning mist rolls through the trees
🔔 Listening to the church bells chime on the hour and feeling your shoulders drop
🎢 Riding the Scaly Mountain Screamer for a little adrenaline
🍕 Grabbing pizza in Highlands at Four65 or The Pizza Place
🔥 Ending the day at the firepit, roasting s’mores under a sky full of stars
We hope The Haven becomes your mountain home away from home. Come make memories here. We think you will want to come back.
