Tucked away in the stunning North Georgia mountains, Old Chicago is a cabin like no other. Equal parts history, luxury, and breathtaking scenery, this unique retreat invites you to immerse yourself in the glamour and grit of the 1920s and 1930s gangster era while enjoying all the modern comforts of an upscale mountain getaway.
From the moment you arrive, the property surprises and delights. Its sleek, modern exterior is unassuming, but as you step inside, you're transported to another world. Warm wood interiors envelop you in cozy sophistication, while the walls tell stories of infamous mobsters and a time when speakeasies and jazz ruled the scene. The centerpiece? A Most Wanted wall that challenges guests to identify faces like Al Capone, Lucky Luciano, and other notorious criminals of the era.
The cabin's interior is as intriguing as its theme. The open-concept living and kitchen area is a dream for gathering, with high-end granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and even a bank safe for a playful nod to the past. The decor pays subtle homage to the 1920s and 1930s, creating a space that feels both refined and steeped in history.
Each of the four king bedrooms (two on the main level and two downstairs) features a private bath, deck access, and tasteful touches that echo events from the gangster era. Imagine winding down for the night in a room inspired by the excitement of prohibition or the grit of the stock market crash. History has never felt so luxurious.
Every inch of the outdoor space is designed to bring you closer to the incredible beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Start your day with coffee in a cozy Adirondack chair as the sun rises over the peaks, or take in the view from the patio couch while the crisp mountain air wakes your senses. Gather for meals around the large outdoor dining table, perfectly situated to make the most of the scenery, and prepare a feast on the built-in gas grill. As evening falls, retreat to the bubbling hot tub and let the day's adventures melt away. Lounge chairs and seating areas scattered across the expansive patios invite you to relax and take in the star-filled night sky.
The lower level of Old Chicago is a treasure trove of intrigue. Enter the speakeasy, where dim lighting and vintage furnishings create an intimate atmosphere straight out of the Prohibition era. Sit back with a handcrafted cocktail at the custom bar or sink into one of the cozy chairs to play cards or share stories. For a touch of history, step into the replica of Al Capone's prison cell. With its barred door, authentic details, and a peek into his ledger, this unique space is both a conversation starter and a perfect spot for a photo op.
At Old Chicago, every detail has been thoughtfully designed to transport you to a different time while keeping you grounded in the beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Whether you're a history buff, a lover of luxury, or simply someone who craves a truly unique getaway, this cabin promises an experience you'll never forget.
