The French Secret for a perfect romantic getaway

Have you ever dreamed of going to Paris? The French Secret is your little Paris getaway, hidden in North Georgia. A romantic place that your will always remember. Everything has been designed to create a romantic atmosphere, the King Louis XVI style bed, the chandelier shining at the top of the ceiling, the mirrors in the bedroom and the bathroom to remind you the beauty of the hall of mirrors of the palace of Versailles, the pictures on the wall of multiple romantic sceneries of Paris,...
The French Secret is a 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom romantic cottage. The place offers a kitchen and a dining area. In addition, you can enjoy the bistro table on the front porch. Finally, there is a nice set up by the small creek with a charcoal grill, a gas fire pit and a couple hammock. The bathroom provides a 2 persons bathtub. And you can even enjoy the outdoor shower!
Romance at its finest...

** Please note, there is a steep, sloping pathway that leads from the parking area to the cottage that can be challenging for some. Please reach out if you have any questions **

We had a wonderful time staying here! The seclusion and time spent away from the tv/telephones was much needed. Unfortunately it rained during our trip so we were not able to make our way down to the fire pit, however, that gave us the chance to stay in and listen to the rain hit the roof and enjoy the inside scenery! It really helped us not think of anything except relax and decompress and enjoy ourselves.

Amazing Mountain Getaway

This was a gem we found that was a unique and romantic trip for my wife and I. The details make it clear that every aspect was planned out and it immerses you into the French experience. We loved our stay here and plan on returning. FYI there is a walk down to the cabin that is downhill so be prepared to carry your baggage a little ways.

Amazing love, nest

This was the most beautiful weekend getaway. My boyfriend and I ever had. Everything was so lovingly prepared and thought through. This is the best place for a couple in love to really focus on each other. If you come here to enjoy intimacy, love and peace. This is the place to come to.
