Awesome property and very easy to get to, close to Blue Ridge and lots of outdoor activities, we enjoyed our stay so much we didn’t want to leave. There were a few hiccups checking in but the property manager was quick to respond and took care of us and answered any questions we had during our stay. We will be back!

My wife and I stayed for a few days in early December and enjoyed the cabin enormously. It is as beautiful as the pictures, well appointed, comfortable beds, nice and private. There wasn’t an iced tea pitcher, so I got one and left it there. We would love to come back with the rest of the family.

This is a great house for a girl's weekend. Lots of room, very clean, great layout and close to everything in Blue Ridge.

This is our second time staying at the Smiling Goat in Blue Ridge, GA. The cabin is amazing. In a secluded location yet minutes away from the downtown area. So peaceful and serene. We shall definitely return before 2025.
