Serenity Cottage – Easy, Peaceful Living by the Brook in the Heart of North Georgia
Looking for a relaxing escape surrounded by nature—but without the hassle of stairs or steep climbs? Welcome to Serenity Cottage, your personal haven at Misty Mountain Inn and Cottages. This charming studio-style retreat sits quietly beside a babbling brook, offering the ideal blend of comfort, convenience, and tranquility. It’s the easiest cabin to access on the property, with only three gentle steps to the covered porch—perfect for guests seeking ease and relaxation.
Inside, soothing green and grey tones set the mood for calm. A plush queen bed, two reclining chairs, and a large screen TV make this cabin the perfect place to unwind. Curl up by the wood-burning fireplace on cooler nights, or let the modern HVAC system keep you perfectly comfortable no matter the season. The fully equipped kitchenette includes everything you need to prepare a quiet breakfast or a cozy evening snack.
Step outside to the covered front porch, where you can sip your morning coffee or evening glass of wine while watching ducks paddle in the brook-fed pond just steps away. The setting is peaceful, private, and uniquely serene—just like the name promises.
Traveling with a pet? Serenity Cottage is pet friendly with host approval and in accordance with our pet policy. We know four-legged friends deserve a mountain getaway, too.
Planning a Group Stay?
Serenity Cottage is one of six cozy cabins located at Misty Mountain Inn and Cottages, a unique and peaceful mountain property that also features a four-suite Inn. Whether you're planning a family reunion, retreat, wedding party, or gathering with friends, our property is perfect for groups who want to stay together—but with plenty of room to spread out. Rent a few cabins or the entire estate for an unforgettable shared experience in the beautiful North Georgia mountains.
Close to Everything, Yet a World Away
Located just under two hours from Atlanta, Serenity Cottage is close to scenic drives, waterfalls, hiking trails, and the charming towns of Blairsville, Helen, Blue Ridge, and Hiawassee. And when you're ready to relax, you’ll return to a peaceful, private escape where nature and comfort meet.
Guests have full access to four acres of beautifully landscaped grounds, including gazebos, fire pits, swings, outdoor seating, and grills. Whether you want to stroll along the pond, read a book in the shade, or enjoy a meal outside with friends, Serenity puts everything at your fingertips.
Ample parking is right in front of the cabin, and the property is conveniently located just off Town Creek School Road—easy to find, but tucked away enough to feel like your own private retreat.

I chose this property due to other solo traveling females stating how safe and comfortable they felt here, and I completely agree! I stayed in the Serenity cottage, which had a little pond view and private fire pit. There are also chickens and ducks on the property which I enjoyed. It’s a great location and close to downtown, as well as many other attraction locations. I have already recommended this property to many people and would absolutely stay again! Thank you so much!
We really enjoyed our stay over the Christmas holiday. The hosts were really nice and informative. Check in and out was very easy. We will definitely be back soon.
This was our second stay in this adorable little cottage. We love the area and the hosts are wonderful. It was also great that we could bring our little puppy. There are some great places to eat in the area and it’s perfect for relaxing. We plan to return again.
Extremely neat and clean. Perfect size for two + a fur baby!
From booking to check-in to stay to check out, seamless. Owners were very attentive and accessible. Loved the chickens and ducks. Definitely will stay again and have already referred family.
Cozy cabin close to everything fun and adventurous in north Georgia, Loved the fireplace and setting. The bed mattress was too soft and the floor going into the bathroom
The cozy cabin was very nice set up had every the you need for a weekend getaway.the area was quite and the chicken and ducks were a nice touch very friendly animals. And when i broke my phone and couldn't log in to vrbo or email i text the Property owners about check out they got back to us in a very Quick reply. I Recommend. Them for a good place for a getaway
So cute and relaxing . Very clean and the bed was very comfortable. Property manager extremely helpful. Loved that I was sent information via email of things and places to go. The hands free check in and not having to keep up with a key was wonderful. The binder provided all the information you might need.
Misty mountain inn and cottages is a great get away from the hustle and bustle of every day coty life. My wife and i enjoyed our stay very much, the cabin and the property was well manicured and very clean. The hosts Sarah and Bill are very friendly and helpful. We recommend this place as well as " the hole in the wall" in downtown Blairsville for breakfast. We hope this helps you make a decision. We WILL be back cheers
The Sisson's
My daughter and I enjoyed our private stay at Serenity. The chickens and ducks, which were let out of the nearby coop daily, were an added bonus. Our Jack Russell and Dachshund were too old to give them much grief, but they sure enjoyed the workouts when they tried. Our senior dogs found their inner "puppy" again!
This was our first attempt at vacationing with our dogs, and we were pleased with the accommodations, which seemed to be made for a family and their beloved dogs. The cabins and B&B have a nice "track" around them with with beautiful lush views and a quaint water feature (which the ducks make good use of). We made several laps around the property and had no problem getting our steps in daily. Fireflies are abundant when night falls. The solitude and peace makes all the worries of real life melt away.
We highly recommend Misty Mountain. The cabin is only a few miles from Vogel State Park, which is also a perfect place for pets. There are easy-to-hike trails with plenty of resting places. There's a waterfall trail that's well worth the hike.
The cabin is also a short distance from Helen, where we went tubing early in the morning to beat the crowds. We had lunch at Big Daddy's where the burgers are phenomenal. We also got to travel the scenic route on 348 and highly recommend that route for traveling to Helen. It has many stopping places for full doggy bladders. (And yours, too).
We recommend Misty Mountain. You can't go wrong by booking here!
Very nice cabin on a great property
Everything was clean, well furnished.
Directions were easily followed, even after arriving well after dark. Owners checked on us - very nice weekend stay
Such a peaceful, beautiful place close to so many towns and things to do but far enough away. Loved the property, people, animals and relaxing atmosphere. Perfect for two!!!!
Perfect. Loved everything about the place. Location was good for hiking and exploring the area. The cottage had everything I needed. I felt safe which is important to a woman traveling alone. Brought my dog with me for her first big trip from home and she did good. I was worried she would bark at noise from outside but we never heard anything. Very quiet surroundings. Checkout was super easy. I can see myself and Daisy Mae returning for more adventures in the future.
I loved the Serenity cottage ! Very homey and nicely appointed. Nothing like rocking on the porch and taking it easy. Great fireplace. Absolutely perfect for me and my dog. Owner Bill very nice and accommodating. Hope to return!
The owners of the property were very nice and curteous and even allowed us to check in early. The property was very well cleaned and maintained and we will definately be coming back for years to come and bringing our kids. I would def recommend this property to couples without kids or anyone for that matter.
Thank you Bill and Sarah and their wonderful children for being so welcoming! My stay at Serenity was amazing! The cabin is cute, spacious and super clean! The location is central to everything from state parks, waterfalls, mountain peaks, fine dining and peace and quiet! I enjoyed the added touches from bonfires to walking sticks to watching all the visitors sitting around the fire and kids playing games! I look forward to visiting again! Thank you so much for allowing me to come visit!
