Here's the lay of the land!
- The Roost sits off the paved road down a gravel drive (accessible by 2WD) and has a gravel parking area that can fit 2 cars easily. From the parking area, you are welcomed by a half-wrap porch. There are rockers, a table, gas grill, more seating, and a hot tub all right there. The hot tub sits in the screened in portion of the porch that faces the river.
-Through the front door, enter into the KITCHEN. The kitchen is fully equipped and opens into the DINING AREA that seats 6 people comfortably at the table. Beside the kitchen, in the closet, is where you can find the stacked WASHER/DRYER.
-Past the dining area is 1 of the 2 bathrooms. This one is a half bath and is just before you enter the LIVING ROOM. With plenty of windows, enjoy how the space is illuminated with natural light! There are loveseats and couches set around the room a cozy distance from the WOOD-BURNING FIREPLACE, which is a wonderful amenity to use in cooler weather while snuggling up to watch a show or movie on the wall-mounted Smart TV.
- UPSTAIRS are the 2 BEDROOMS. On the left, this room has a king bed and a Smart TV. On the right, this room has 2 queen beds and a Smart TV as well. Directly in front of the staircase is the 2nd BATHROOM. This is a full bath with a shower/tub combo.
-OUTSIDE, find the firepit and outdoor furniture beside the river, where you can enjoy being on land listening to the river or fishing, or enjoy being in the water!
Here, at The Roost, you have all the space you need for your group, whether you are coming on a couples' trip, a vacation with family, or a retreat with friends! Enjoy this Toccoa River-side cabin in the Appalachian mountains!
