Cason’s Cabin-Callaway Gardens Area -Historic Property-Lake-Pool-Trails

Come relax in a roomy and lovely, historical 4 bedroom 4 bath cabin located in the Callaway Gardens Area on private Lake Ida. This cabin was built by the the founder of Callaway Gardens, Cason J. Callaway in 1930 and renovated in the late 90s. It is part of a property which is listed in the National Register of Historic Places, and until now has never been available to the public as a rental.

The cabin is 3200 sq feet- Ample space for 8 guests! It has new master beds, beautiful antique furnishings, wifi, and 60"smart tv. The antique wood furnishings are original to the cabin from 1930, many from Old Hickory Furniture Company- purchased in 1930 when the cabin was built. Two king bedrooms and two twin bedrooms are perfect for two families, or 8 adults. Each bedroom has a private adjoining tub/shower combo bathroom.
The living area of the house features a nice sized living room and kitchen with a pass though dining room between them. There is a wood burning fireplace in the living area, and a 60" smart TV, on which guests can access their own app accounts.
The outdoors offers plenty to enjoy! Take in the beautiful views of the mountain, lake, and the 5 acres of lush forest surrounding the cabin. Fish on the lake where past Presidents have fished, Franklin D Roosevelt, Dwight D. Eisenhower, Lady Bird Johnson and Jimmy Carter. So bring your fishing gear to enjoy some great fishing. Catch and Release only. Large Mouth Bass and Bluegill Brim! Relax on the front porch in the tranquil environment and listen to whistle of the trees while the evening floats slowly away.

Cason's Cabin is situated a short walk down the private drive from the private historical residence also located on the property, The Lodge at Blue Springs Farms. This large log home is where Cason and Virginia Callaway lived and retired for over 40 years. Across from the cabin there is a great field overlooking Lake Ida, perfect for play/sports/kids fun. Enjoy your coffee on the front screen porch watching the sunrise, and in the afternoon with cocktails as the sun sets. Use the fully stocked kitchen to prepare meals or drive a short 5 minutes to one of the areas best steakhouses around! People from 3 surrounding counties drive here for a fine tasty dinner, in a relaxed off-road pub and restaurant, appropriately named "Hunter's Pub". (Other nearby favorites include: San Marcos-Authentic Mexican food )

The unique setting and history of this cabin and property make it a desirable place to stay when visiting nearby Callaway Gardens during holiday weekends, weddings, and other events.

Great Place In The Woods
It is an older house that had some issues with doors not closing all the way,etc but overall it was nice. Great responses from the owner. The owners dogs were fun to pet. It was a bumpy drive to get to the cabin but our stay was good and we were a mile from were we needed to be for a sports tournament.

Perfect Family Getaway
Beautiful scenery. Magnolias line the entryway as you turn into the gate and drive over the bridge to the private lake. Then we were welcomed with greetings from ‘Henry’ the St. Bernard and rest of the doggy crew. My daughter loved ‘Molly’, but Henry definitely stole the show and our son’s attention. The lake was wonderful. Kids & adults enjoyed the paddle boat and boards. We enjoyed walking trails on the property. The history of the property was a major plus for husband; with a tour of the main house. We ventured to the Wild Safari for a day experience that was great for laughs and a good time. Unfortunately, the azaleas were not in bloom this early because they are summer blooming azaleas we found out. These azaleas were locally found and cultivated by the Callaways. We will definitely be back! So much to see and do in this area. Our host was very welcoming and knowledgeable about the Callaways and history of the land. Great trip!

Callaway Gardens Family Vacation
Perfect for our 3 families; own bedrooms & bathrooms. Loved the lake & woods views. Great Kitchen. Close to Callway, Animal Safari & horseback riding, restaurants, & grocery stores. If the weather was warmer, we would have spent time on the porch & deck. The kids loved the dogs! Hosts were only a phone call away. Would definitely stay again! Fall would be beautiful!

Nick and Crystal are fabulous, and this place is absolutely stunning! I can’t thank them enough for sharing this wonderful piece of history with the world. If you are looking for a place to unwind, this is the perfect spot. The kitchen is well equipped, the Master Bed is super comfy, and huge wood burning fireplace makes the living room an amazing place to kick back and relax. I give it a 10 out of 10, and would definitely return!

We loved our visit at Carson's Cabin! From sitting around the bonfire, hiking, watching the sunset over the the lake, to an amazing dinner catered by Cacee and an amazing historical tour of the property by owner, Crystal, our trip could not have been more perfect. Thank you for spending time with us and sharing your beautiful property. We loved it!

Amazing Property!
This cabin was the perfect size for our two family getaway. Beautiful inside and out. We loved relaxing on the front screen porch and use of the lake, with all the fishing gear and boating toys provided. The swimming spring and wiffle ball field on the property added an extra amount of fun and entertainment for the adults and kids. We will be recommending this property and returning!

Crystal and Nick are unbelievable hosts. They went out of the way to make sure we enjoyed our stay and took advantage all of the amenities. My 81 year old dad kept talking about the next time we come back here! And that said so much. Just sitting on the porch is amazing, but don’t. Go explore this wonderful piece of Georgia and Georgia history.

Relaxing and quiet place with several amenities. We enjoyed the private lake which included paddle boarding, kayak, huge swim mat, deck seating, and life jackets. We had beautiful sunsets to do our yoga in front of the lake. You can also fish but will need to bring your own fishing poles. The property also included a nice indoor pool, hot tube and fire pit with seating for eight. The house had a beautiful working fireplace, screened in front porch, four bedrooms with their own bathrooms, full kitchen, and dining room. There are dogs roaming the property near the lake and pool, however they are friendly and wear collars not allowing them to come to your cabin and fire pit areas. A Dollar General is only two miles from the cabin for quick access to stock your food.
