| We thought we were having to compremise this years vacation because of the economy...no exciting destinations....Boy were we totally suprised when we arrived at Compass Creek. We had the best vacation we ever had! When we arrived we felt so comfortable with all the amenaties, but at the same time knew we were in the awe of the mountains. We were able to enjoy meals out on the patio in comfort, nights by the fire by the creek..what a fairytale. Even though the weather was against us for a few days we explored the local history, thanks to some of the pamphlets that they provide we found some good restuarants, went trout fishing, paning for gold, hiking (we are not the ambitious type, but if you are, there are major trails), had some major ping pong compatitions(thanks for providing the table amoung other games). when the sun popped out we floated in the pond right outside the back door, walked up the creek less than 10 yards away. we explored nature and all of its brilliance. We have taken away from Compass Creek more than we expected. We connected as a family because things were not hectic like most of our past vacations. Compass Creek is a definate must do again and again. Thank you Gary and Tracey for sharing your little piece of peace!! |

A very unique place, we LOVED it. It is a very beautiful setting, quiet, well equipped cabin, and the stream really makes it all come together.
While it may not be ideal for those who enjoy fancy dining close at hand, it is great for those who plan to cook or don't mind a 8 mile drive that goes through some beautiful country. We found some very good restaurants.
We throughly enjoyed our all too brief visit and plan to return.

| Our family throughly enjoyed our stay at this wonderful house in the mountains. We really enjoyed the back porch where we had all our meals. The area was also nice- good golf course- Chatuge Shores and the best breakfast for the price at Haysville Family Restaurant that I have had anywhere. Also, Tracey was very helpful in setting up to pre trip details. Highly recommended. |

| We had a great time at the cabin, the creek was great. Everyday we sat out and listened to the creek running by. It was so peaceful there. A little out of town but not too far, that you couldn't run in if you forgot something. They have a great butcher shop in town ( great steaks). Enjoy all the brochures, they will give you great directions. We will be back. |

Granny and Pa along with 6 year old grandson, Griffin, mom and dad arrived at your cabin for our annual October (2008)fall tent camping trip. We ditched the tent this year and all Granny requested was to be on a rushing creek. What a wonderful surprise to not only be directly on a creek but to find a sweet little pond! All of which could be seen and heard right through Granny's bedroom patio doors that opened out to a screened room complete with patio tables, upon each wakening morning! We also ate most of our meals out there so as not to miss anything going on in the pond!
There is an abundance of outdoor games including a garage ping pong table, darts and horse shoes. There are inside games and movies, too.
Granny and Pa had a surprise "It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown" Great Smokey Rail Road trip planned and we all had a great time. But the best times were spent right at the cabin, hiking to find a grumbling bear straight up the hill from the cabin and exploring the creek until we had too many rocks to carry back for this old rock hound Granny! Thanks for sharing your little piece of creekside Heaven!

P.s. You will find our rock version of steak and potatoes on the second shelf of the buffet! |

| We arrived home today after our best family vacation ever. Compass Creek was everything it was promised to be, and more. Hayesville and the surrounding areas have quite a lot to offer. The kids loved exploring the creek, and swimming in nearby Lake Chatuge. Quite by accident, we "stumbled" into nearby Helen, GA, and immediately fell in love with the Alpine atmopshere. It was the perfect way to end our time down South, and we can't wait to return. |

Just got home from spending 10 wonderful days at Compass Creek..WOW!!
Our family looks for a SPECIAL CABIN every year and this year was without question the best ever. Very comfortable, clean, quiet and secluded but yet not remote. The pond gave our 5 year old a thrill as he caught his first fish over and over again. The firepit by the stream was magical at night and the marshmellows never tasted better. Great hiking, sleeping and coffee on the porch every morning
was special. Tracey and Gary told us we would love staying here but they never told us that it would be this nice. Take our advice and book Compass Creek, you won't be sorry. Enjoy and then tell your friends just like we are doing. This home and the surronding area is a little piece of heaven. G-d new what she/he was doing when Compass creek was created. |

| We stayed on this property over the spring break and had a great experience. It is a great place to unwind and enjoy nature. The property offered a great deal and we will return again. |

We had a wonderful time in Hayesville. COmpass Creek is so peaceful and beautiful. The sound of the creek rushing down from the mountains was a peaceful sound to hear all through the day and night. The kids loved fishing in the pond and even caught some fish. While Hayesville is very nice and quaint we reccommend driving to Dillard and having dinner at the Dillard House which was only a little over an hour drive. The drive to Rabun County where it is located is awesome and the food and service is top of the line. We met so many people from all over the United States and thoroughly enjoyed sharing
time with them. We even told them about Compass Creek and told them how to check it out. My husband liked it so much he wants to go back in the late spring when the water is warmer so he and our son can enjoy the water since it was so cold during this visit. If you are looking for the perfect vacation spot this is it!! |

| Our family loved your place in the mountains. It had everything you could possibly need for a relaxing and fun filled vacation. The area is so nice and close to so many outdoor activities. We had a blast! I am already looking for a date to come back and visit! |

My husband and I are returning for our second stay this coming week. I am so looking forward to coming back. Our first stay was so peaceful and relaxing. The Hayesville area is just beautiful, with the mountain views and winding roads. The town itself is very quaint. You never know what you might see as you are driving...a couple deer grazing, a horse farm, cattle...and when you get to the cabin, the sound of the running water and the sun shining through the trees....makes you want to stay longer. We are from Florida and I have had so many people tell me how lucky I am to live in paradise....but when I am in Hayesville that is where I feel like I am in paradise. Thanks Gary and Tracey for sharing your home with us.

Lauren and I have had the privilege
to stay in this home on two occasions. Each time we came away with fond memories of having had a wonderful time. The Hayesville area is a wonderful escape from the life style of Sarasota. The sounds of the creek and the serenity of the pond made relaxing the order of the day. Hiking, exploring and even traveling to the Tour of Georgia Bike Race all combined to make us want to come back soon.
Thank you for sharing your home with us.

| We recently spent a week at this beautiful home on Compass Creek, and our time could not have been any better. The house is amazing, and the pond and creek are fantastic. There is a huge stretch of land for kids to run and play. Peaceful and relaxing!!! The entire area of Hayesville is the best place to go for a quiet family vacation. If you want to be free from everyday stress and you want to reconnect with the people you love, then this amazing home in this quaint town is the place to do it!! |
