Description

Seclusion, quiet, private pond, streams and waterfalls await you at this Cohutta Reserve Retreat!

If you are ready for an authentic, nature adventure, then look no further. JME Retreat at the Cohutta Reserve is your place for fun and restoration in the outdoors!


This turn of the century, secluded, rustic farmhouse is nestled in a valley between 3 mountains near the Cohutta Wilderness Area. If cabins could talk, the years of history you would hear. The walls, with pioneering family names carved into them, is where you’ll find many of the tools used by this family still hanging.

This cabin, restored with the help of local craftsmen, retains much of the historic charm of natural wood beams throughout, original wide plank wooden floors, and a wood burning fireplace built 'the old way', with stacked stone and mud foundation. The modern kitchen features stainless steel appliances, gas range, microwave and a dining area that seats four. The master suite on the main floor, outfitted with early American antiques, has a custom queen bed with a full walk-in stone shower. Upstairs, in the open carpeted loft, is a queen bedroom with a view of the fireplace.

This sprawling 68-acre property features trails, streams, and waterfalls. The Cohutta wilderness hosts 87 miles of unusual remote hiking. For those who need a retreat from the fast pace of city life, to reconnect with loved ones in the peace and quiet of the 'holler', JME is waiting for you. For nature enthusiasts, history buffs, or any city dweller just wanting to get away from it all; to roam, to learn, to rest in total privacy; JME is calling for you.

Imagine waking in the morning, not to the sounds of an alarm going off, but to the gentle call of nature. To the songs of birds and the rustling of leaves dancing with the morning breeze. Nestle on the front porch with your favorite book or loved one, nothing to interrupt you, except the occasional deer or turkey crossing your field of vision. In the evening, gather by the firepit retelling (and exaggerating) the day’s adventures, making memories that will last a lifetime while listening to nature sing you to sleep with the frogs, crickets and katydids’ night time melodies.

This cabin is designed for nature lovers who enjoy unplugging and listening to the silence very few places offer. So, bring your fishing poles to enjoy the catch and release on your own private pond and dock. Don't forget your hiking boots, water and camera for the miles of trails you’ll get to explore. Or simply plan to come, sit, relax and reconnect in the serenity of this mountain oasis.

Please note: This modern, yet rustic cabin is more rural than most; thus, the increased chance encounters with mother nature during your stay. This should be no cause for alarm, but simply a heads up to be aware of your surroundings. Enjoy your stay!

Beautiful Retreat from everyday life. Perfect

by Brooke

Wow, just wow. When you think you can\'t find peace and quiet anywhere anymore, look no further. JME is a beautiful retreat, acres and acres of solitude. Private fishing pond, loads of room for our four legged friends to roam, even got to wake up to deer in the back pasture. Highlight of the evening is relaxing by the firepit and watching the stars. With the indoor wood burning fireplace and remarkable well kept cabin, romance and reminiscence is sure to spark. Can\'t wait to come back and watch the gorgeous colors of Spring and Autumn!!!

Absolutely Perfect In Every Way!

by Gena

Our stay at JME Cabin was perfect in every way. As soon as we drove up; I went back in time and was filled with joy. The cabin is extremely secluded and allows one to completely unplug from the outside world and become one with God. I loved reading the history book provided about the cabin. Knowing that a husband and wife raised 14 children in the cabin gave it so much more meaning, life, character, and warmth. I will definitely be going back next fall.

Our stay at JME Retreat was just what we wanted...quiet and relaxing. We love that our dogs could come and swim and explore. It was nice to have family time with little distractions. Wish we could have stayed longer. Hope to return in the fall.

We would recommend this cabin to anyone. It met all of our needs and more. It's the perfect place to unwind on the front porch if you are wanting to relax, or if you're feeling more adventurous you can hike the trail. It was hard to leave.

Rustic cabin with nice fireplace/fire pit area with view of property, ample roaming space, we saw deer each morning out the kitchen windows. We took our fishing gear and tried our luck in the pond, but only caught small fish. The setting is so nice and quiet, beautiful scenery. We made smores and cooked hot dogs one evening on the gas grill by the fire pit. The location is convenient to Blue Ridge but remote enough to unplug and stay "off the grid" if you like!
