Nice to meet you!
It's Cindy, your host.
"The Nest" is a newly remodeled 1,700 sq ft getaway mountain home retreat for peace , solitude and family fun. Tucked away on 5+ acres of private woods in the foothills of the North Georgia Mountains. Spacious bedrooms. Kitchen amenities for family dining. The game room provides hours of fun with air hockey, an indoor basketball hoop, an arcade, ping pong, corn hole, a dartboard, and board games. Short drive to Ellijay, Jasper, Calhoun and Blue Ridge for seasonal festivals and less than 1.5 hours to many attractions in Tennessee - including Rock City, and Aquarium. Nearby Carter's Lake provides water fun and family hikes. Tasty local restaurants provide Country, Mexican, Asian, Cajun, and Soul food cuisines. Lots of thrift stores and antique shopping, too! Massages and nail salons, grocery stores and hospitals are less than 25 minutes away. The long and bumpy driveway is not paved - so leave sports cars home. Most vehicles are OK.
The Space
Secluded and private but just minutes away from civilization - if you want! Enjoy the amenities of the home - which includes a huge game room for family fun. Includes ping pong table, air hockey, indoor basketball hoop arcade, darts, corn hole and lots of board games, cards and poker! Morning breakfasts and family dinners are enjoyable in the stocked kitchen. You’ll be welcomed with a cup of coffee or tea upon arrival! Quiet neighbors appreciate their solitude too - so be mindful you’re with mountain folks who go to bed early and wake up even earlier! You can easily spot horses, deer and even turkey on or near the property. This is the ideal place to reconnect with family and friends and give technology a break! Sit on the front porch and watch the sunrise. Enjoy the clean and fresh air. Roast marshmallows in the fire pit at night. And de-stress during your stay at “The Nest”!

Neighborhood Must-Sees
Ranger is a quiet mountain town. As of 2020, our population was 82, but we are growing. Most of Ranger is located in Gordon County, but “The Nest” is nestled right inside the Pickens County boundary lines. Neighbors are friendly, but they keep to themselves and want you to respect their privacy. Homes are spaced out so you may not see your neighbors at all. Most main roads are pave,d but many driveways (like ours) are unpaved. This is a place to come to relax and enjoy nature. So no large parties or late-night festivities. Field service is mostly driving in rural territory.
Getting Around
“The Nest” is located 25 mins from major grocery stores, shopping as well as hospital/urgent care/fire department. We do not recommend you bring a sports car due to many unpaved roads. However most vehicles, including sedans, are fine. An SUV or truck is ideal. You can take private walks or hikes on the property. There are no street lights so exercise caution when driving in the dark. Once you leave the neighborhood, the roads are paved. Cellular service is very spotty on Damascus Road - but is fine once you are on a main road.

I've been a servant of Jehovah for 24 years. My 4 children are all serving Jehovah as pioneers, elders and Bethelites. My husband Steve and I love to meet brothers from all over the world. I love the outdoors and spending time with my 4 dogs. I also enjoy hiking in the North Georgia mountains and glamping with friends especially in the fall. I'm very detailed oriented - so I want to make your stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. "The Nest" is perfect for you if you want a quiet getaway that's super clean, updated and relaxing. There's lots to do inside - with air hockey, an indoor basketball hoop, ping pong, darts and lots of board games in the large game room. Or go outside and enjoy a walk in the private woods. Dinner with family and friends are enjoyable in the modern kitchen that's also equipped with a coffee and tea station. But don't take my word for it - come and experience The Nest for yourself. I promise you won't be disappointed! My life's motto: They can't bury you if you're moving!
