Henson Cove Place B&B with Cabin - Hiawassee, Georgia

Jay H.

We like to go to nearby places for staycations once or twice a year. This time it was Henson Cove.

Turns out we were their last guests before they closed for good. The room was clean and quaint. The hosts were so friendly and the breakfasts were delicious and made with care. They made sure we had everything we needed and the food was made in a way that accommodated our limitations.

There's not much to do or places to eat in Hiawassee but they had a very comprehensive list of choices. They also had an app that listed places to eat and things to do with links to each place. Nice touch!

The BnB had a very homey feel. The location was fine but nothing outstanding. The place is 5 miles from the Appalachian trail, which we enjoyed.

Had a great one night stay when in town for a concert at the GA Mountain Fairgrounds. We were met at the door by the host and shown to our room. He then showed us to our bathroom and a quick tour of the rest of the public area. Snacks, homemade cookies, and drinks (soda, water, tea, coffee, sports, etc) were available anytime in the dining area.

Breakfast the next morning was outstanding. Frittata with fresh fruit and homemade biscuits with blueberry butter. It was delish and would have been a $20 restaurant meal in Atlanta. Breakfast was also sit-down with everything brought to your table.

Room was cozy with a king bed, a couple of comfy chairs, and a mini-split climate control. We were quite content during the 34F night and the bed was quite comfy.

The TV area had a Roku SmartTV with a Firestick. I was able to log into my DirecTV Stream account to enjoy some late night viewing. Just be sure to log out before you leave. I did see some apps where guests were still logged in.

Highly recommended! Hosts are very friendly and the accommodations/breakfast are spot on.

Wifi, Room, Serenity, Cost, Breakfast, Location, Gracious hosts....All perfect. Go ahead & book it! I stayed within hours of Hurricane Helena & hosts just carried on like any other day. Would love to return.

Henson Cove is a beautiful B&B, with such sweet hosts. I came in yesterday afternoon and am leaving this morning, but couldn't leave without writing a review.
The room (Mountain View) is a nice large room with a king (firm) bed, a comfy chair, lovely old country decor, and a mountain view overlooking the cute front porch. It does not have a TV or attached bathroom, but the livingroom, with a TV, is right outside the bedroom and the bathroom is close. The bathroom is adorable with a large old claw tub/shower.
The home is cozy and has a peaceful feel to it, with a library and plenty of places, inside and out, to relax. The host did such a good job at making me feel welcome and I loved the little touches like cookies, snacks and more.
The town of Hiawassee is only a few miles away with plenty of options for food, groceries, gas, and shops.
I highly recommend even if you only have 1 night to enjoy it.

Staying at Henson Cove felt like staying at your extended family home for the weekend. The spot was very clean. I loved the attention to detail for the breakfast where the hosts remembered that I was a vegetarian and made our meals accordingly (and just as delicious) in the morning! I noticed also someone else was gluten-free and they made the dish accordingly as well which is such a nice touch. Dave and Mariah are extremely welcoming hosts once you get there. The Roku TV was greatly appreciated and had everything you needed. Dave and Mariah also took the time to make some great local recommendations. The B&B overall has a beautiful classic cabin aesthetic and made a very comfortable stay.

My only gripe (which is out of Henson Cove's control) is the area. I do wish there were more major towns nearby for things to do in the evening because we are more "town" people than big hikers. However, if you are big into nature and love hiking, this area is perfect for you and there's plenty to do (Brasstown Bald, Tallulah Gorge, Raven's Cliff, Anna Ruby Falls, etc.)!

P.S. My husband had a work trip come up last minute early in the morning and so we had to cancel our last night stay to leave the day before so he could make it, and Dave was so generous to tell us that we could just use that night to get a free night stay the next time!! And he did so without a blink a of the eye! That is hospitality right there that you really can't get with a big chain hotel or even most businesses nowadays.

Room was comfortable with extra touches that made us feel at home and comfortable. Location is great. Minutes from Hiawassee. Service was friendly. The breakfast was great. Chocolate covered strawberries- yum! Definitely a place I may visit again!

Mariah and Dave were excellent hosts. Their location was incredibly quiet and serene. The mountain views from the front porch are great with the added bonus of horses grazing in the field across the way. We stayed in the Mountain View room and had a great stay. The breakfasts were delicious. We would definitely stay again.

This B&B is fantastic! My daughter and I stayed for two nights in early August. I booked the room with a king size bed. The private bathroom is about three steps from the bedroom door. It has a claw foot tub which I took advantage of the first night we ! were there. I don't think there is a better way to relax after days of traveling than a bubble bath in a claw foot tub.
The next morning, we were served a gourmet breakfast. I believe Mariah called them stuffed pancakes. They were served in souffle type dishes and filled with fruit. Absolutely delicious!
The next evening, I sat out on the porch swing reading, until it got too dark. I moved inside to a cozy library and finished my book. I truly felt like I was at home.
The next morning, we were served a frittata with sausage, fruit, biscuits, coffee, and orange juice. Just as delicious as the first morning.
I hope to be back in Hiawassee within the year and I will definitely be staying at Henson Cove again. The place is beautiful. Mariah and Dave are awesome hosts. I highly recommend!
