Step out of the car and you are greeted with the rush of the waterfalls just below, and in an instant, you understand exactly where the cabin got its name. An open and airy interior, charmingly quaint and cozy, tucked away in a rich natural landscape, Thunder Falls has a special atmosphere and appeal all its own.
From the graveled parking area, you round the landscaped corner of the cabin, headed toward the sound and the cabin's entrance, and reach the hand-laid stone path leading to the covered porch. The only thing that could possibly make the scene appear more like one from a storybook is a handmade wicker chair, rustic and inviting, a welcome seemingly from the surrounding forest itself, beckoning you to sit and take it all in.
The cool, clear waters of Turniptown Creek wind through the trees and around the bend, smoothing over stones, hollowing out perfect bowl-shaped dips and narrow crevices and crannies as the water cascades down the gentle slope of the hillside. At Thunder Falls, you have a bird's-eye view of this scene. From the covered entrance, spacious front porch, or even the shaded picnic table deck perched on the hillside above the falls, the cabin's outdoor living space is dedicated to helping guests soak in the cabin's unique natural setting.
Cute and cozy, Thunder Falls is a two-level cabin perfect for a couple or small group of four looking to get away. The main level at Thunder Falls has a fixed glass front, with a front-facing view of the surrounding trees and foliage. Perched high enough on the hillside to bathe the entire living area in radiant sunlight, Thunder Falls welcomes the natural beauty of its surroundings inside like no other.
The kitchen, dining area, and sofas surrounding the great room's gas log fireplace all open into each other and, by extension of the windows and French doors, the serenity of the woods outside. A gas grill, patio set, and even a quiet, shaded reading nook at the back of the porch have all been provided to help guests comfortably unwind and truly enjoy the great outdoors!
Thunder Falls has beautiful handmade log beds, including a Queen bed in the main-level bedroom with two window seats, a stained-glass transom, and adjoining bath. The Queen bed in the loft-level master bedroom has a private sunroom, small flat-screen TV, and DVD player. The loft area has a spacious built-in desk and workspace, though with wireless access throughout the cabin, you need not feel contained.
Guests can access another outdoor seating area through the cabin's unfinished basement, and from that lower deck, follow more landscaped stairs down to the small hillside deck tucked into the surrounding laurels and hemlocks, overlooking the falls rushing by below.
While there is no landscaped access down to the falls themselves, guests can choose to venture down into the shaded, laurel-filled area to access the water and pools above the falls to play and splash in the creek. Lush and serene, with the tranquility of Turniptown Creek serenading you all the while, Thunder Falls is a beautiful place to call your North Georgia Mountain Home!
Thunder Falls is located in a private gated community, with access to four fishing ponds, a community pool, playgrounds, picnic areas, as well as community events and festivals. Thunder Falls' location puts guests in the heart of apple country and is perfectly situated to enjoy the annual Apple Festival, as well as tubing on the Cartecay or Coosawattee Rivers, boating on Carters Lake, shopping or dining on the historic square, or even golfing at area clubs. Whitewater rafting and kayaking on the Ocoee River are also just a short drive away.
