    This warm and welcoming inn is the perfect place for rest, relaxation and spirited conversation. We arrived on cold, rainy night and were instantly greeted with warm cups of chai and freshly baked cookies. The fantastic breakfast, vegan per our prior request, was one of the best we'd ever had at a B&B. Mary Beth and Fred are gracious hosts whose progressive and open-minded demeanor made us feel right at home. We arrived as overnight guests and left as friends. We will definitely return for a longer stay.

    I think we are the first folks in our town to EVER stay in a true yurt! Mary Beth and Fred have infused the structure with all the comforts of home and then some. Think of it as "luxury roughing it". Want to live in the woods for a few nights?? but need the security of human life within shouting distance, then try"yurt living". You will experience both nature and B & B comforts during your stay.

    It will be remembered forever!

    Recently rented one of the yurts for our honeymoon. We had such an amazing get-away experience. The inkeepers are incredibly fun, informative, and welcoming. We laughed and exchanged stories with them & other guests as though we had known them for years. The yurt was incredibly cozy, and secluded, yet comfortably outfitted with creature comforts. It was most enjoyable to fall asleep & awaken with the sound of insects humming through our "walls." Proximity to downtown Dahlonega & outdoor wonders (e.g. hiking, waterfalls, & farmer's market) was most accomodating for feeling so off the beaten path. If you are commited to learning about a more eco-conscious lifestlyle, Fred & Mary Beth are very informative & resourceful, both by their leading example & excellent recommendations. Their permaculture method grounds and garden produced the majority of two of the most beautifully presented & delicious breakfasts I have ever experienced. I even photographed them before I devoured them! Also, the composting toilet which was provided in our yurt had me sold with none of the stink or unwanted traits that one might expect from such a machine. Can't say enough about what a truly memorable, unique, & fun travel destination Cedar House Inn is. It was such an extraordinary & renewing trip that we truly hated to leave.
