Amazing
When I say relaxing and enjoyable, I mean it. The hosts are amazing and so sweet. They let you spend time with their animals and so peaceful. A 10 in my book. And they make the best treat that my dogs love.

Run, don’t walk to this amazing place with amazing hosts!
Do not even doubt booking Karen and Kevin’s cabin at their animal sanctuary, Forever Young. Their attention to detail and the ability to make you feel like instant friends, makes this an unbeatable value. The cabin is stocked with anything you need to cook including olive oil and spices. The bed was sooooo comfy. The outdoor amenities were also wonderful. The hot tub was amazing (make sure to utilize the foot massager) and then there was a super clean bathhouse to change and shower in. Last but not least were all the animals on the property. The pups and kitties were all super friendly and just wanted rub downs. The alpacas, donkeys, and bunnies were awesome to meet and feed as well. We can’t recommend this place enough and look forward to returning again.

A slice of heaven
I cannot recommend a stay at this property highly enough. Kevin and Karen are lovely people and incredibly attentive hosts, on hand for anything you need. That said, you need for nothing. The cabin is equipped with full cooker and fridge freezer, microwave, toaster, coffee machines. Bath with shower, a great size TV, WiFi, fire pit, access to pool and hot tub. Every little detail has been considered. I suggest you book before it gets so popular you can’t get in!

Cozy Cabin with all the amenities you would have at home. With extra special touches like brownie shaped llamas on the table.
The property was well maintained and the cute animals were friendly. A walk through the woods takes you to a nice winery with a beautiful view. Karen and Kevin are Great host.

House had everything we needed except food. Two bedrooms with comfortable beds. Parking was for one vehicle. Enjoyed the mountain scenery and the deck for morning coffee. Away from stores but beautiful drive going there. Fainting Goat is a must especially overlooking the mountains Kevin and Karen are delightful host.

Mental Health Reset
A quaint little slice of mountain history (ask Kevin for the details), Forever Young, provided just what the doctor ordered.
1. Hosts Karen & Kevin are kind, compassionate, considerate people who are grounded in the mindset of living a simple yet fulfilled life.
2. The location was perfect for relaxation, enjoying the Forever Young animals, taking a stroll to the Fainting Goat Vineyards, a jaunt to Fausett Farms, admiring Amicalola Falls and then some. Yes, it sits alongside a popular route for those cruising in sports cars and on motorcycles. Yes, you can hear them at times, but it wasn't too bothersome.
3. The guest house is sufficiently furnished and cozy. It is a historical structure with some quaint quirks that add to it's charm. If you are lucky, Karen provided welcoming, yummy treats for people and pups. We were lucky! And they were yummy!
4. Returning in the future - if the Good Lord is willing and the creek don't rise, then yes!

Magical Decompression Chamber
We fled from St Petersburg Florida from Hurricane Milton and stayed here for a few days. The cabin is pristine with everything you could need and then some. Our hosts were amazing and the Pups, kitties, donkeys and Alpacas made our stay so magical. We even saw Northern Lights during our visit. I did not want to leave and can't wait to go back. Thank you so much for making our stay so spacial during this stressful time
