Located three minutes from the famous Toccoa Riverside Restaurant, just off Stanley Creek road, in the heart of the Aska adventure area. The drive is stunningly beautiful, meandering through beautiful thick forest and Toccoa River frontage providing an ultimate escape from the hustle of everyday life.
The owner is from Austria and wanted to portray a little about her home land and named it Waldhaus, pronounced vˈaltha͡ʊs. The literal translation is The Forest House. The home is tastefully decorated to reflect the beautiful setting, nestled privately by surrounding woods, it provides a wonderful soothing environment, lovely view and ample outdoor space to absorb the healing features of nature! You will find several references/pictures of Austria throughout the cabin.
Arriving through the gate from Stanley Creek Road, you will have a very short drive to the cabin.

There are two additional parking spaces to the right of the cabin. The driveway and parking is all concrete for easy in/out access.
