Whippoorwill Hill on the Ponds - Slow Down & Unwind

Escape the hustle and bustle and slow down at Whippoorwill Hill, a peaceful 16-acre country retreat with two ponds, private walking trails, wildlife, and fresh air. Enjoy fishing, quiet mornings, evening frog and whip-poor-will songs, and a cozy private lower-level suite with its own entrance. You'll find a welcoming place for couples, families, hikers, mountain bikers, nature lovers, or anyone looking for a quiet break. Come slow down, unplug, explore, and enjoy a little peace and quiet.

Whippoorwill Hill is a non-smoking, private walkout lower-level guest suite on our 16-acre country property in rural Northwest Georgia. The approximately 1,000-square-foot space has its own exterior entrance and includes a private bedroom, full bath, spacious living and sleeping area, kitchenette, dining space, and covered patio overlooking the ponds and wooded property.

The kitchenette includes a full-size refrigerator, 2 burner cooktop, microwave, toaster oven/air fryer, sink, and basic cookware and dishes for preparing simple meals. There is also a propane BBQ grill on the patio.

The main living area offers plenty of room to relax, while the separate bedroom provides additional privacy.

Outside, guests are welcome to enjoy our two ponds, catch-and-release fishing, private walking trails, fire pit, picnic table, garden and orchard surroundings, paddle boat, and playground. There is abundant wildlife so keep your eyes open for deer, herons, turtles, armadillos, racoons, and plenty of bird watching. Nature's orchestra is in full effect after dark as the frogs, cicadas, katydids, and even whippoorwills join together in song.

Our family lives on the main level above the suite. Guests have the entire lower-level space to themselves and do not share indoor living areas with us, but you may occasionally hear normal household sounds from upstairs.

Guests have private access to the entire walkout lower-level suite, including the bedroom, bathroom, kitchenette, living/sleeping area, dining space, covered patio, private entrance, and designated parking. Guests are also welcome to enjoy the ponds, walking trails, fire pit, picnic areas, and other designated outdoor areas around the property. The barn and its surrounding work/storage areas, the main upstairs wraparound deck, as well as the barn house at the front of the property are private and off limits to guests.

- Whippoorwill Hill is a completely SMOKE- and VAPE- FREE PROPERTY. SMOKING AND VAPING ARE NOT PERMITTED ANYWHERE ON THE PROPERTY!

- Our family of four lives upstairs, including two children, so you will likely hear the pitter-patter of little feet and the normal sounds of everyday family life on occasion.

- We also have several outdoor pets who may greet you during your stay. Lucy is our sweet, gentle dog who loves making new friends, along with our four cats—Socks, Digger, Molly, and Biscuit—and our bunny, Licky.

- Whippoorwill Hill is truly in the country. There are no restaurants or grocery stores within about 25-30 minutes. A Dollar General and gas station are about 7 minutes away, while Calhoun, Dalton, LaFayette, Rock Spring, and Summerville are roughly 25–30 minutes away. Chattanooga is about 45 minutes away. We recommend bringing groceries and planning to prepare some meals in the kitchenette or on the BBQ grill.

- There are no TVs in the rental. We hope this helps you unplug and enjoy the peaceful surroundings, but you’re welcome to bring your own devices and stream using our high-speed fiber-optic Wi-Fi.

- There is no guest laundry available.

- Cellular service is extremely limited in our area. Most guests will need to use Wi-Fi Calling while at the property, so we recommend making sure it is enabled on your phone.

- Please be sure to supervise children around the ponds for their safety.
