About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Hippopatumus Haven

This cabin was built with luxury, entertainment, and romance in mind, but since it's right on the best stretch of river in Fannin County, the Hippopotamuses have taken over. Still, you can cozy up with someone special in front of the hand-cut stone fireplace in our spacious great room. Enjoy a king-size master bedroom suite with a quaint personal balcony overlooking the Toccoa River.

Entertaining is easy in our fully equipped kitchen, including a gas range, microwave, coffee grinder, custom countertops, walk-in pantry, separate wet bar and bar-fridge, and complete sets of cookware and cutlery. Gather around the Kitchen Island while preparing dinner, or around the tv and fireplace in the connected great room, or around the full-size shuffleboard in the loft. Dine inside or out using either of our 8-person dinner tables.

The kids will enjoy counting the hippopotami hiding throughout the cabin, or perhaps the shuffleboard and dartboard. Overstuffed chairs throughout the cabin allow for relaxation and reading.

Cook s’mores in our large dug-out fire pit steps away from the Toccoa River, or ribs on our charcoal grill. Enjoy great fishing and the best stretch of inner tubing around ends at our private sandy beach. (The hippos keep all the crocodiles away!)

On top of all that, we have wireless Internet and all the other amenities from home: satellite television, fresh linens, gas-assisted wood fireplace, washer and dryer, shag carpet on the bottom level, etc.

If you need more room, ask me about my Father’s cabin next door!

We stayed for a week and a half from Christmas through the New Year and we cannot recommend this place enough! From the 81 steps it was the perfect stay for us and our pups! The fireplace in the house was gorgeous and it was nice overlooking the River everything morning and being so close for a cozy afternoon by it with a fire! Highly recommend :) the beautiful kitchen and porch were great for nights to stay in and cook at home!
