We had a fantastic time at the cabin at Lake Winfield Scott Recreation Area. Nestled in the woods in a peaceful mountain valley with the beautiful little lake nearby. It feels like a perfect escape from everyday life, with quiet surroundings, great trails, and that classic North Georgia mountain atmosphere. Perfectly located nearby to other attractions like Vogel State Park and Brasstown Bald. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a calm, rustic getaway in a lovely natural setting. We’ll definitely be back!

It is a very clean area. My only concern is the difficulty to carry items to the location. You need to be able to walk long distances. Unfortunately I have had two knee surgeries and back surgery. The lake wasn't open for swimming due to high bacteria levels. Unfortunate for the kids. But we did have a blessed day with the beautiful scenery!

We enjoyed the cabin, but were very let down at the same time. We have been here several times. It now has Air Conditioning which is nice, but we weren't aware because it's not on the website. We brought extra fans and such that we didn't need. Information is valuable. Please share it freely. There were several necessities in the kitchen that were short; we ended up going to Dahlonega ov er the curvy, foggy steep mountain roads to get them in the dark. These are cheap items that should have been there as advertised, but were missing. Can openers are essential kitchen items for the last 100 years. Spoons are too. Not much can replace these items when you're trying to cook a meal for a large family. There was a bed that was demolished before our arrival. We needed every bed for our group. We took it upon ourselves to fix and reassemble the bed. It is unkind for the staff of Lake Winfield Scott to overlook or neglect the furnishings that we paid to use. Who want to choose which of their friends or family has to sleep on the floor? No one. We enjoyed the cabin and our time there, but these simple yet obvious and inconvenient flaws dropped a 5-Star stay to a 2-Star.
