Lil Yellowstone

Welcome to Lil Yellowstone, where wide-open mountain valley views meet the rushing waters of Hemptown Creek. This relaxing retreat invites you to truly escape and reconnect with nature, whether you're fishing, stargazing, or just soaking in the peaceful pasture surroundings. You’ll enjoy private creek access, breathtaking views, and acres of open land, all just minutes from downtown Blue Ridge. Hemptown Creek is a nationally protected, trout-stocked stream, with regular stocking by the Chattahoochee National Fish Hatchery right at the bridge near the cabin. As you turn onto the road, you'll be greeted by a row of towering Leyland cypress trees leading to your own hidden getaway. The recently renovated farmhouse blends country charm with southwest flair, perfect for families, couples, retirees, or a friends’ retreat—all on one easy-access level. Inside, the living room features brand-new furnishings, including a dual leather electric reclining sofa, a leather loveseat with a sleeper, a smart TV, and a cozy fireplace. The open floor plan leads into a fully equipped country kitchen with plenty of cabinets, cooking essentials, a dining table, and island seating—great for gathering and home-cooked meals. Both spacious bedrooms include smart TVs, large closets, comfy high-end mattresses, with its own private french doors, and private views under the covered porch. The primary suite includes plush bedding and a sofa lounge, while the second bedroom also offers ample space and comfort. Step outside to the wraparound covered porch with country rocking chairs to dine al fresco at the picnic table , relax in heavy duty adirondack chairs around the firepit, or enjoy views of the peaceful pasture. A large concrete area is great for casual games like imitation pickleball or soccer. Down by the rushing creek, unwind at the firepit, roast s’mores, or try your luck catching fresh rainbow trout—rods encouraged! Your furry friends will love the fenced front yard. Whether you're a fisherman, hiker, foodie, golfer, or antique lover, there's something for everyone here.
