Special note: You will drive through Fightingtown Creek to get to your destination. The creek is about 30’-40’ wide, but the depth only ranges from about 6” to 18”. 

Nestled on the edge of the enchanting Cohutta National Forest and walking distance to Fightingtown Creek, with no other cabins in sight, no loud city noise, a hidden gem, Melody Creek Cabin, offers a haven of contentment that goes beyond words. Imagine a place where the whispers of the wind rustling through the trees harmonize with the murmurs of a nearby creek weaving its gentle melodies. A place where the soft symphony of birds greeting the dawn envelop you, creating a serene cocoon where your spirit finds respite and renewal. Here the tranquility is so deep that you'll hear the rhythm of your own heartbeat, as the boundaries between your soul and the great outdoors blur.

After a restful night in Melody Creek Cabin, plan out the day’s activities while enjoying your morning coffee on the back deck overlooking nature’s tapestry. Your days can be as adventurous or as tranquil as your heart desires. With charming horseback rides and thrilling zip lining just minutes away, your escape begins at our cabin's doorstep. Whether your adventures take you to Lake Blue Ridge’s many festivities or to Blue Ridge itself with its fine dining and entertainment there are things to do for everyone.

After your days’ pursuits, let the creek's melody guide you back home. Wade into its crystal-clear embrace, cast your line for a chance at the day's catch and release, or simply dip your feet in, letting the water's caress wash away any worries from the day. With over 200ft of private access, the creek side beauty includes multiple seating areas. Whether here or in the hot tub above, now is the time to kick back for that afternoon reprise before cooking that delicious mountain air dinner.

As day fades into evening, gather around the crackling fire pit, where dancing shadows mingle with stories shared and dreams take flight into the starlight skies, creating an enchanting ambiance perfect for heartfelt conversations and quiet reflection. Here the invitation of nature will lull you into a profound state of rest and rejuvenation. Those longings you didn't even know you had will find fulfillment, and the elusive peace you've been seeking will finally find its sanctuary within these ancient woods.

Here, you're not just a guest; your part of a timeless tale spun by the forest's ancient history. As you wander through the woods, it's as if nature herself is whispering her secrets into your ear, inviting you to rediscover the magic that resides within and around you.

Perfect Secluded Cozy Getaway!
My wife and I live in Florida and at least once a year we make a trip up to Northern Georgia to stay in a cabin in the mountains (this is our second time booking with Southern). After much deliberation about our cabin choice, we decided to take a last minute trip to go experience the cold weather and booked our stay for three nights in Melody Creek. This cabin was the perfect choice! Perfect! We loved how secluded and cozy it was. The kitchen and bathroom were seemingly updated, had great, new appliances and the look and feel was updated/modern which we loved. Kitchen had everything you could need, except we did miss having a cheese grater but that's being nick-picky. The gas burning fireplace and the cozy smaller living room were perfect, where we spent a lot of time relaxing. Continuing with the theme of what we loved....loved the wrap around balcony, several different places you could relax as long as you were bundled up given the weather. Loved the hot tub, was perfect, so relaxing, got up to 104 and was conveniently right outside the door. Loved the feeling like you were up in the trees! The only issue we really had was the bed in the larger bedroom. It was definitely the hardest bed either one of us have ever slept on. We would strongly encourage the owner to upgrade it. Doesn't need to be something luxurious, just something we can sleep on. We had to move to the smaller bed in the smaller bedroom to be able to sleep. We loved the cabin so much, we never left until we had to check out, which we've never done before. Had enough food to last us our stay. We did a little hiking, the path down to the creek was great, nice place to and listen to the water. We enjoyed not really having anyone else nearby. Closest cabin was far below us and a couple others you could see their roofs off in the distance. Nice to have a national forest in our backyard with hiking trails very close by. I will say the drive was little "different" and the directions still need improving. It turns into a one way dirt/gravel, rocky road with lots of large potholes and then there's the creek crossing. We were both stressed about this but once we got to it and went over it, it was fine. We have a newer Hyundai Tucson and it did great. Granted the water was a little high but we made it with no problem. I would encourage anyone renting this to get there during the day. You won't have cell phone signal but the wi-fi is super strong and fast! We turned on our wi-fi calling feature on our phones to be able to make calls. Plenty of streaming services on the TVs. Nicely appointed interior decorating. All around such a wonderful experience. We loved it so much we are already planning our return!!

Quiet Getaway
This cabin was in a beautiful location. Very secluded and way off the beaten path. We lived that about the cabin and would’ve to stay again. The cabin was well equipped, comfy beds, clean hot tub and great outdoor space.

Communication was good
I thought it was directly on the river, but it's a good hike away. The cabin itself was very peaceful, clean, and very nice

A Quiet Getaway
Our ac wasn’t working the first two days but otherwise everything was perfect. A bit hard to get to if you don’t have the proper vehicle.

The Creek Access Was the Best!
Cabin is very nice and the rental process was fairly easy. Would recommend it because it is the perfect small place to get away, not too large and nice location. With only one neighbor close by the location was the best part. The creek access is very nice; next best thing to being located next to it.

I definitely go back to this cabin in the near future again, this was my first experience with the Southern Comfort Cabin Rental and I had an amazing time. Very upscale and functional, comfortable and neat cabin with an awesome creek view to enjoy and relax.

The hot tub was my favorite since we were able to enjoy the view while staying warm. If someone I know makes a trip to cherry log I will definitely recommend this company
