Can You Picture Yourself as the Innkeeper?

By John Shivers

It’s a magical Shangri-La. The lyrical essence of mountain waterfalls performing in exquisite concert. Music to de-stress by, if you will. And when guests lay themselves down to sleep at 4982 Highway 441 in Tiger, GA, stress won’t stand a chance. It’s a hidden gem located so close off the beaten path, yet so far away from the hectic pace of everyday life. You’ll find all of these attributes and more at The Cascades Inn, with a solid history of positive reviews. The next owner will have a sound reputation and repeat clientele to help them continue offering hospitality Rabun County style.

The Cascades Inn, a unique mountain retreat nestled ‘mongst cascading waterfalls, offers two cabins and seven guest suites that can sleep between two and six individuals. U.S. Highway 441 that runs only yards away is a main traffic corridor

from Florida to the Great Smoky Mountains. Down through the years, more than one traveler has discovered this 1.71± acre piece of paradise. Perched high on the banks over the tumbling waters of Tiger Creek, with 343± feet of creek frontage, the sanctity and the privacy of this beautiful wooded setting are just some of the amenities.

Thanks to the various decks, the views that accompany the comfortable lodgings are breathtaking and legendary. Many of the private accommodations have the luxury of looking down on the tumbling, majestic waters. For those seeking closer solace, steps lead down to the creek-side sanctuary that has both delighted and mesmerized for many years.

Indeed, this testimonial left on the Inn’s website sums up the essence of a guest’s experience: “It is a very quiet, relaxing place. We had the ‘Honeymoon Suite’ which was awesome with the private balcony. It is a great location easy to get around and see all the local waterfalls and attractions, just in case the waterfalls at the resort are not enough for you.”

Located six miles north of Tallulah Gorge and four and one-half miles south of Clayton, this very active and complete vacation rental business and real estate package offers a solid opportunity for a discerning buyer. Lakes Rabun, Seed, and Burton are nearby, along with the waters of the Tallulah River and the Tugalo River. Thousands of acres of U.S. National Forest lands and hiking trails are right outside. All rooms have access to gas BBQ grills and outdoor seating. There are many decks, seating, and swings by the creek, along with a large fire pit for guest enjoyment.

While these lands are particularly beautiful during spring’s laurel blooming season as well as autumn’s colorful leaf season, in reality, the area’s attributes are available every day of the year. There are trails that wind in and around the surrounding forest. They go down to the edge of the waterfall and up behind the cabins. The trails are lined with rabbits, squirrels, birds and other forest critters, and lots of pretty flowers.

Guests stay overnight, enroute to other destinations. They stay for several days at a time, as they explore all that Rabun County has to offer. And some even reserve the entire facility for the ever-popular weddings staged in the area, for family reunions, and even business meetings and retreat sessions. In addition to the sleeping accommodations, there’s also a room suitable for dining and meetings that can seat 25.
