Stay with us at Sassafras Rock!

Bring the adventure back to your life ~ the mountains are calling you! Immerse yourself in the beauty of the North Georgia Mountains at this mountain cabin just outside of Dillard, GA and nestled along the banks of beautiful Betty Creek. Sassafras Rock is a 1-bedroom, 1-bath Canadian Hemlock hand hewed cabin with open sleeping loft is all you need for a memorable getaway. Enjoy playing in the creek right out your backdoor, or venture to Tallulah Gorge State Park, raft the Chattooga River, catch your dinner at Andy’s Trout Farm, or enjoy one of the numerous beautiful hikes in the Nantahala Wilderness Area. It's time to unplug and get away from it all! Let Turnstone Cabins be your home away from home!

Turnstone Cabins were built by the family of Ben Parrish, and are owned and operated by the Parrish Family. Along side our Dad, we laid every board, log, and rock with our own hands. Each cabin belongs to one of the Parrish children as a legacy of our Dad. We love opening our homes to guests so that they can share the beauty of the mountain valley we have loved over the past 25 years.

Please see our other listings on VRBO. There are 4 cabins in Turnstone. Our additional cabins are Walnut Falls (ID 924357), Chinkapin Gap (ID4460024), and Cherry Bluff (ID68189).

We are a family oriented property with cabins geared towards a quiet getaway. Any large groups or loud outdoor gatherings are not allowed in an effort to provide all of our guests (and neighbors) the most pleasant experience.

By booking with us, you are agreeing that you and anyone in your party are not experiencing symptoms of COVID 19 upon checking in to our property. We want to protect our guests and staff during this time in the best way possible.

How could it be better?

This is a special little cabin nestled in the woods next to a babbling stream. It is far enough from town to be peaceful and quiet, but close enough to visit local interests like Black Rock State Park, Foxfire (outdoor) Museum and others. The best part was just swinging on the front porch or sitting on the back porch watching the falling leaves being carried downstream just steps away. The sound of the stream and the cabin itself was delightful beyond words.

About the host

Hosted by The Parrish Family

Please email us with any questions at
info@turnstonecabins.com

Turnstone Cabins are owned and operated by the Parrish Family. We are from south Georgia (Statesboro) and love the cooler climate up here in the mountains. We now spend almost all of our time on the property! We enjoy hiking and antique shopping.

Why they chose this property

We were looking for a property that was along a creek and that our guests could access without 4 wheel drive vehicles at any time of the year. We found it right here on Betty Creek in the mountains of western North Carolina ... just 4 minutes from US Highway 441. We developed the property and built our 4 log cabins so that we could share this unique place with others.

What makes this property unique

The sound of rushing water over a large rocky creek and the cool breezes that are always blowing gently makes sitting on the porches real relaxing moments.
