Have you ever seen a Wild Georgia Turkey strut around?
We have one of the largest wood peckers I have EVER seen!
Not to mention our doe pack will definitely sneak upon you.
And there have even been little Georgia otters spotted!
The property is a beautiful wooded 10 acres on a rainwater creek. There are small babbling brooks and waterfalls, walking trails, lake, and Georgia's best wildlife.
About 500ft down a trail into the beautifully cleared woods is this one room cabin off the grid, disconnected from the “creature comforts” to enjoy the peace and serenity of nature.
Experience the nostalgia of camping but inside a solid building. You get to enjoy the whole cabin, greenhouse spa room and bamboo composting outhouse to yourself.
There is a fire-pit to roast whatever you desire as well as a grill with utensils.
The greenhouse is covered and filled with beautiful flowers in the spring and summer.
Inside you will find a large soaking spa tub with a fully functioning cold water shower head. There are 2 sun heated camp showers in the greenhouse. These stay in the sun and warm through the day.
The super simple compost toilet outhouse gets the job done in the most environmentally friendly way while it is composting. Additionally it does not disturb the natural ecosystem of our local wildlife. Once full, we use it to fill spaces and garden soil on the property.
Parking is complimentary at the main house (where my family and I live full time) It is a short walk down the trail to the cabin. Bring your rain boots if rain is on the forecast. We do have some you can borrow in case of Atlanta's notorious downpours!
There are other guests and other animals on the property.
No electricity or running water but composting toilet outhouse with cold running water sink+ camp shower in the greenhouse spa room. I also bring and/or make available 3 gallons of boiling water in a warming tank per day.
During the winter you receive 2 tanks of propane for the camp heater and 1 long burn fire log per night. There is a Cabana and Fire pit as well as a grill with utensils. 6 charging ports, Wi-Fi and parking available at the main house. Walking trails, lake, and wildlife. You’re welcome to enjoy our 10 acres of trails with creeks and brooks.
This is not just a cheap overnight stay, it’s an experience. In order to keep the cost affordable to those who are truly looking for this type of experience, please be honest with yourself.
We care for each of our guests with everything we have, but this is an independent journey and exploration of nature in a safe space.
God has entrusted the care of this Sacred Space to me. I pour my heart and soul into the cultivation of its natural beauty.
We are a thriving community of nature lovers.
Off-grid means learning how to exist in your most natural state without commonly connected amenities.
Here we disconnect from electricity and hot water.
That means:
No electricity - we have solar or battery powered lights after sundown.
No a/c - we have fans during summer, propane heater and sub zero sleeping bags during winter
No wifi - your brain will thank you.
According to the Cleveland clinic, researchers have found that taking icy showers may heighten your immune system and make you more resistant to illness.
All Amenities Listed Available on Request
The host/owner is a disabled Afghanistan veteran. We believe in and protect the rights of every American citizen. But we also love peace, nature, safety and all our babies - human or furry.
Georgia is a constitutional carry state. All guests who have weapons brought onto the property must notify us prior to arrival. The weapon must stay stored and secured during your stay as we are a family friendly and animal friendly property. We are in the middle of 4 subdivisions. This is not a safe place to shoot your weapon for recreation .
Also, this is Georgia and the cabin is in the woods. There are Georgia wild animals capable of showing up during your stay. Please do not shoot the animals.
Additionally, we have a few non-aggressive companion animals on the property. Please inform us if you are bringing an animals that may or may not be startled or agitated easily. They are still VERY welcome, but we want to take every measure to ensure everyone’s safety
Finally, if you’re coming here for a hotel stay, this is not the place to book. Poor reviews of this experience because of a lack of understanding diminish the purpose of the place we love.
Recommending that we spend more money on your comforts will more than likely price this location out of the budgets for those who choose to be frugal and intentional with it.
Why don't we use or have a/c?
Air Conditioning one of the single greatest contributors to global warming.
Think about it. Cool air in equals warm air out. The heat you “cool” had to go somewhere. That’s why when you stand next to the HVAC outside your house it’s blowing out hot air.
The cooler you make your house, the more heat you are releasing into the atmosphere. The hotter it gets outside, the more you need to cool down your house…ad nauseam.
Almost 90% of American homes use air conditioners, accounting for 6% of all the country's residential energy use. This air conditioning directly translates to a release of about 100 million tons of carbon dioxide every year.
As humans we have gotten accustomed to burning up the planet on both ends for our comfort.
Please, I beg you, do not come here if being hot in the summer and cold in the winter is unreasonable. Dress appropriately so you may enjoy the campsite.
Winter time recommendations: bring/wear a onesie type footed/hooded pajamas.
Summer time: bring loose fitting clothing, hop in the shower upon arrival, grab a cool drink and settle down in one of our hammocks.
If you have read all of this, you want to be adventurous, but are unsure, I participate in Airbnb's flexible cancellation policy. It's worth it.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Tranquil Oasis of Wellness Bliss At Creek Retreat
I recently had the most incredible experience at Creek Retreat in Serenbe. Thanks to the space that Greg and Amanda have curated, from the moment I stepped through the doors, I was enveloped in a sense of serenity and rejuvenation. During my visit I was able to rotate through 4 sessions, one where I was even able to knock out 90 minutes of work in the oxygen pod which gave me a whole new meaning on 'work from home'. During my time at Creek Retreat I had was an absolute delight, and I can't wait to share these experiences with you:
🌬️ Cryotherapy Chamber: The cryotherapy session was a true adventure in invigoration. The icy cold mist felt like a burst of energy, instantly revitalizing my body and mind. It's a unique sensation that left me feeling refreshed and ready to conquer the world. The guidance and care from Creek Retreat staff made the experience even more enjoyable.
🏥 Hyperbaric Oxygen Pod: The Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy session was nothing short of magical. As I settled into the cozy pod, I could feel the pure oxygen infusing into my body, promoting a deep sense of relaxation. I left the pod with a renewed sense of vitality and mental clarity. This therapy is like a breath of fresh air for the soul- even if the 90 minutes were spent on calls for work!
💆♀️ Massage Chair: The massage chair was an absolute treat for my tired muscles. The combination of soothing kneading and gentle vibrations melted away my stress and tension. I could feel my worries fade as I embraced the luxurious comfort of the chair. It's a must-try for anyone in need of a little self-care indulgence.
🌟 Celluma LED Light Therapy: The Celluma LED light therapy was the perfect finale to my wellness journey. The gentle warmth of the lights combined with the calming ambiance transported me to a state of complete relaxation. I could practically feel my skin soaking in the rejuvenating benefits, leaving me with a radiant and refreshed complexion.
Creek Retreats dedication to holistic well-being is truly commendable. The knowledgeable and friendly staff made me feel welcomed and supported throughout my visit. The serene atmosphere, combined with state-of-the-art wellness technologies, creates an oasis of tranquility.

Creek Retreat Spa is an oasis within Serenbe. Founder and owner, Greg, is a master HydraFacialist with immense skincare and product knowledge. His relaxing, welcoming energy paired with the space's intentional Fung Shui design creates an unbeatable spa experience. I highly recommend adding the Britenol booster to your facial! It has alleviated my acne scars and sun spots. I cannot help but suggest you explore this wonderful place.
The warmth of the people, the attention to details, the wealth of knowledge, the tools and resources for true health and wellness—all these things and more are what sets Creek Retreat apart from all the rest!
I have MS and have been blessed to find my way back one step at a time toward true sustained natural healing and wellness. I’m grateful God led me to far infrared light therapy at Creek Retreat. It’s proving to be an integral next step in my ongoing health journey.
So this facility, Creek Retreat, is just amazing! I feel lucky to be able to come to a "one-stop shop" for healing energy and improved body mechanics, plus enjoy such state of the art technology, as well. I have just been diagnosed with a serious autoimmune disease, and l really feel that both Greg and Amanda are true angels for helping me with my condition. And, l also appreciate the professionalism from his staff, Jewl and Emily. This place is fun and hip. Lol, they have all kinds of futuristic gadgets to assist you with calming stress, losing weight, anti-aging, and even assisting with certain chronic illnesses. I assure you that you will have an extremely relaxing and enjoyable experience here, but most of all, see immediate results. Go try them out. Tell them JaJa sent ya ; ).
