Sweetgum Valley Farm Stay: A Peaceful Cottage Retreat on a 33-Acre Working Farm

Slow down at Sweetgum Valley, a private guest cottage on a 33-acre working farm just outside Monticello, Georgia. Walk the trails, fish the pond, and end the day on a screened porch with the sounds of the countryside.

The Farm
This is a real, working farm, and we’re lovingly renovating it as we go. You’ll meet our goats, chickens, and farm dogs, and you’ll see projects underway around the property. We think that’s part of what makes it special: a place with a story, being built up one season at a time. The owners live on site, so there’s always someone close by if you need anything. The cottage itself still feels secluded and private.

Explore the Land
Spread across 33 acres of farmland and woods, there’s plenty of room to wander:

Walking trails winding through the property
A stocked 3-acre private pond with spring water, with fishing from the gazebo
Private blueberry patches for guests
Water views and open farmland
Close to the Charlie Elliott Wildlife Management Area and other nearby nature attractions

The Cottage

2 bedrooms sleeping up to 6: a queen bed in the primary bedroom, and a second room with two twins and a full bed
Full kitchen with coffee machine, microwave, and ice machine
Bathroom with a soaking bathtub, perfect after a day outdoors
Screened-in sun room for morning coffee or evening quiet
Heating and air conditioning, so you’re comfortable year-round
Private parking right at the cottage

Perfect For
Couples and families looking for a quiet weekend, kids who want to meet farm animals, anglers, hikers, and anyone who needs a break from screens and schedules.

Hunting & Fishing Access
Hunting and fishing access on the property is available by the day or by the trip. Message us before booking and we’ll work out the details.

What to Expect
This is a working farm, so you may hear animals, see equipment or projects in progress, and share the land with the creatures that live here. Bring boots, bring curiosity, and leave the hurry behind.

Fall in love with Monticello and the quiet magic of life on the farm. We can’t wait to host you.
