The House
The earliest construction of the Porter Springs Farmhouse pre-dates the Civil War and has been continuously owned by the same family. It was part of the Queen of the Mountains hotel and resort, situated just a short distance from the Farmhouse and was located in what was known as the community of Porter Springs. Queen of the Mountains, referred to by family as “The Old Hotel,” was a summer get-away for many people in Atlanta because of the cooler weather and the legendary benefits of the springs on the property. Dinner was enjoyed with orchestral music, and there was a bowling alley and other entertainments. Cold outdoor showers were the norm because running water was not available. Travel from Atlanta was usually a two-day journey by coach, with a stop in Gainesville.

It’s believed that Porter Springs Farmhouse began as a caretaker’s or hunter’s cabin. The house was given to my great uncle by my great-great grandfather, Colonel Henry Patillo Farrow, the owner of the Old Hotel. The original house constitutes the oldest part of the Farmhouse and includes the living room and two bedrooms, all having painted surfaces. The “newer” part of the house is the log portion. Construction began in 1909 when my great-uncle learned that his future bride’s dream was to live in a log house. The wood used to build the Farmhouse consists of some American Chestnut, which grew prolifically around the house until the blight in the early 1940’s. The house was added onto over the years with whatever wood was available on the surrounding land.

Throughout the generations, the Farmhouse has been a gathering place for young and old alike. Games were a beloved past time, family gatherings were common, and practical jokes abounded. Frog gigging at night, making corncob pipes for rabbit tobacco, visiting Trahlyta’s grave (Stonepile Gap) in the dark to see if she’d speak to visitors, hiking Blood Mountain, and telling ghost stories were some of the favorite memories of the older generation.

Because the house is so old, we have unwelcome visitors from time to time, and you might see a mouse. However, we have made them feel so unwelcome in recent years that it’s a rare occurrence. There is also the dust factor. Try as we might to clean the house, it just sheds dirt and dust. Therefore, a visit to Porter Springs Farmhouse isn’t for everyone but the person who appreciates history and can imagine camping indoors with the comforts of heat, air conditioning, washer and dryer, internet, dishwasher, big-screen tv, home office, and oven/stove.

Explorations
Around the house you’ll see some evidence of the Old Hotel. Some fun explorations include spending some time with the green benches on the front porch where late 1800’s visitors to the Old Hotel carved their names into the benches. Try googling them and see what you can learn! Also on the porch are lights on both sides of the front door that are taken from old stagecoaches. Try writing a story about what it would be like to ride in a stagecoach! Inside the house, the dining room furniture is original to the house, and the dining room table is from the Old Hotel.

Because rodents were always a problem in the past (and sometimes in the present!), the kitchen cabinets are protected by hooks on the interior and wooden locks on the exterior. Similar locks were employed on bathroom, bedroom and exterior doors. The windows are “locked” with wooden locks and a nail. Feel free to explore the house and all of the interesting ways in which every day life was lived.

Sites and Sounds
Many different animals have been raised over the years at the Farmhouse including chickens, goats, and most recently, Angus cattle. Today, neighbors raise Angus cattle, and they surround the Farmhouse. Grazing on private property, they come close enough to the house to hear them chewing the grass, snorting, and calling out to their young. Because bulls are also present, wandering the pasture or going down to the creeks is absolutely forbidden. Dogs must be leashed when they go outside so they don’t risk running into the pasture and getting injured or spooking the cattle.

There are many other animals around the house. We have seen bears, deer and turkeys, and hear the calls of many birds, including owls. Our favorite place to sit and enjoy the wildlife is the front porch, where there is a frequent breeze - even on the hottest days.

Pet Fee is $75 per dog. We only allow dogs. No cats. Pets shall always be secured within the boundaries of the property. If the property is not fenced, pets must be kept on a leash and always accompanied by the pet owner while outside.

If you plan to go out and leave your dog at the cabin, please know that we require they be crated in your absence.

Please be aware that you will be recieving a link to our booking contract via text within 24 hours of making your reservation. If you do not see it come through, please let us know as it must be signed. We are happy to answer any questions about its contents.

We live in Cumming but this was my Son’s Wedding weekend. And we needed to be close to Wolf Mountain Winery. For all of the pre-wedding & weddings festivities. This cabin was absolutely beautiful. I have never seen anything like it before. We absolutely loved it. We just wish we would have been able to spend more time in it. I would love to stay again. The pictures do not do the cabin justice. There is a huge screened in porch. And a very nice outside area with a fire pit. And a covered pull through or parking at the side door to the screened in piece. This cabin was very rustic. Beautiful and so much space. I highly recommend this cabin. And the host was amazing. And always responded back quickly.

Heaven! Absolutely a divine, cozy, very happy place to be. An entrance sign reads “Happiness begins here” and it is so fitting. It was a trip back in time with energy that did make you happy. It’s the simple things that matter. We foraged, painted, lounged, read, cooked meals made for queens with very simple ingredients. It was very lovely. I found my forever happy place and will visit as long as I’m living and available. I wanted to decorate and we did decorate while we were there. This Porter Springs Farm cabin is very special. It is my new happy place! See you soon!

Rustic but great log cabin in the woods. Large property. Google the address and not what links on the booking site. Great kitchen large dining table expansive back screened porch. I brought a truck and electric car both were fine on the gravel driveway. We will return for a getaway in the mountains.

Overall the cabin was exactly as advertised. We had a few hiccups upon check-in. The cleaning crew left all the dirty dishes in the sink that we had to wash. The power had gone out and we had to turn the breakers back on because the repair company didn’t. The owner apologized for the multiple inconveniences, but did not offer any sort of reimbursement or partial credit for the trouble. I would have at least offer a gift card for a dinner out on them. We did love the location The swing and the porch were amazing and the historical furnishings were wonderful. Would stay again! and the

We really enjoyed our 6 night stay in this cabin over the New Year. We were very happy and intrigued by the cabin’s history and décor. Thank you for decorating every room for the holidays – that extra touch means a lot. The location was about 15 minutes from downtown Dahlonega and we loved this little town. The communication was quick and polite. Our family of 4 (one 14 year old girl and one 12 year old boy) had plenty of room. Some things that were extra special for us – the cows feeding right next door, the cast iron pans, the firepit, having some kitchen supplies (like olive oil/sugar), the comfortable bedding/extra blankets, the carport, the old benches on the porch, hearing the cows in the morning, a variety of birds in the yard, having a clean grill, the etched wine glasses, the holiday décor, and the board games.One thing to note – although the yard/house are extremely quiet, the road is close and had an occasional loud motorcycle/car drive by. As stated in the house description, the house is delightfully old and ornate and we thoroughly enjoyed every bit of it.Thank you for having us!

We were blown away by this property! We came up to experience a Dahlonega Christmas for the first time and were not disappointed. The cabin was only 15 mins from downtown and literally looked like it was out of a hallmark movie—especially decorated for Christmas. Hosts were super responsive about everything. We can’t wait to visit in the summer!

9 miles from Dahlonega, in a quiet little neck of the woods, sits a pre-civil war cabin that will take you back in time. If you're looking for peace and quiet this is the place to stay. We absolutely loved it. Whether it was playing Monopoly with the grandkids or sitting at the patio table in the sun watching the cows eat the grass. It was peaceful. The cabin has all the amenities you need. If your looking for a spotless home, remember, this cabin was built back in the 1800's. It was nice to walk in and see the Christmas decorations! We would stay there again.

I rented this cabin as a quiet place to work on some artwork for Christmas. Everything was as expected. It was just me and my Maltese, and we enjoyed the spacious, quiet cabin. The pre-civil war history is interesting, too. I would return with a large group or family.

We had a wonderful time at this historic cabin. There was plenty of space for five adults and two small children to spread out and enjoy our time together. The house the conveniently located to nearby attractions, but still keeps the tucked away cabin-in-the-woods feeling. The house was well equipped with basics and the owners were quick to respond when we had questions. Overall, a fantastic stay!

My husband and I spent a wonderful Labor Day weekend at the property, accompanied by our two dogs. The cabin is masterfully mixing the very well-kept rustic origins and modern conveniences. Although it is close to the road, it feels very secluded and is very quiet. We loved to have our morning coffee on the screened porch while listening to the chirping birds. With the short drives to the Dahlonega downtown and local wineries, we had a great time and highly recommend this place for anybody who is looking for a refuge from the hustle and bustle of the modern city live.

It was nothing like the description! The pictures online were extremely deceiving! When we walked in we knew instantly we couldn't stay there.

This lovely cabin was like going back in time - but with all the modern luxuries we are used to. The attention to detail in the renovation and decor is exquisite. The cabin is clean and easy to access. Entry was easy and parking/road access was a breeze. The air conditioning and all fans worked well - as we stayed in the summer. The kitchen was well stocked. We cooked several meals for a family and enjoyed eating outside. The grounds are well kept and lovely. We walked the yard every morning and breated that cool mountain air. The cabin feels like it's miles away from civilization but it is not far from town and just minutes to conveniences. The adults loved the antiques that make this property rustic and give it so much personality. The kids loved that there were multiple TV's with good chanel selections and working WiFi. Everyone was happy.... we are grateful.

I booked this cabin for myself, my husband, our two kids, our friends and their child for a baseball tournament our sons played in. The cabin was much bigger than I expected, there was plenty of room for all of us. The kids enjoyed catching lightning bugs while the adults hung out on the screened in porch. Overall, it was a very nice stay and we would book again!

We really enjoyed our 4 night stay. The place is MUCH bigger than we anticipated. It's so quiet and cozy inside and it's exceptionally well stocked. EVERYTHING you need to enjoy your stay is there. The screened in porch is a wonderful place to enjoy mornings or evenings. The property is beautiful as well. The only draw back was the large bathroom claw foot tub/shower combo. It's not super convenient to use (no shelving inside for your soap and hair products) and you have to be very careful with the shower curtain, so as not to pull the plumbing from the wall, but it's definitely workable and there is another modern shower in the home. Joni is wonderful to work with, super responsive to any questions. We'd definitely return to this property.
