Henson Cove Place Bed and Breakfast is the perfect place to get away to! Located in the picturesque North Georgia Mountains, this quaint bed and breakfast provide tourists with the much-needed break from the chaos of work and life. This charming and secluded 3 bedroom farmhouse and cabin is the perfect atmosphere for a romantic getaway. A place where people can relax, unwind and unplug from the world they knew and get to know one another again.
Henson Cove Place is owned and operated by Mariah and Dave Nugent. After realizing that life is about more than just the hustle and bustle of corporate America, Mariah and Dave left their jobs and settled in Hiawassee, Georgia. As the 3rd owners of this farmhouse, Mariah and Dave share their love of life with others and treat each guest like family. They welcomed us and showed us around, making sure that we knew that their home was ours for the evening.
Upon entering through the front doors, you immediately step into the tastefully decorated rustic themed common living room with gorgeous hardwood floors. All the comforts of home ready for you should you need them. They even offer guests a library full of books that you are free to enjoy during your stay and believe me, there are plenty of places where you can escape into a good book for hours.
Henson Cove Place Bed and Breakfast features three bedrooms with private baths and a secluded guest cabin with private bath. Each guest room is named according to the view and area of the home it is in and is decorated accordingly: Mountain View. Garden View, and Rainy’s Hideaway.
We were given the largest room in the home, the Garden Suite. It features a queen pine log bed and a private reading area. This room looks out to their garden and a 100-year-old white pine tree.
One of the things that their website boasts is that the bed in this room is so comfortable that “You’ll be assured a very restful sleep…in fact we bet you’ll be late for breakfast.” Is it true? YES! My husband is an early riser, and he was up and at it like usual talking with the other guests of the B&B as I slept soundly in this amazing bed. I literally woke up about 15 minutes before our scheduled breakfast time, but only because my husband insisted that I get out of bed. I would have been perfectly fine enjoying more time to sleep; however, that gourmet breakfast that Mariah and Dave prepared was well worth getting out of bed for!
Rainy’s Hideaway, pictured above is another of their rooms that they offer. It is a secluded room that offers views from the treetops as it is tucked above the dining room. It features a queen bed with a green iron headboard from an old gate in New Orleans.
In the evening, we returned to our room to find a note waiting for us at the door.
Guests are spoiled with wine, chocolate dipped strawberries and other evening snacks. The kitchen is available throughout the night for guests.
Porch living is just something, in my opinion, that should come standard with a B&B. There is just something about swaying or rocking while taking in the surroundings that are soothing to the soul. As you might expect, we took every opportunity to get cozy on the front with our plush Turkish robes that Henson Cove Place Bed and Breakfast provides guests during their stay. We sat for hours on the porch just enjoying one another’s company while being serenaded by the wildlife around us. The songs of the birds were simply beautiful!
Of course, no B&B would be complete without a gourmet breakfast. Providing 5 Star quality restaurant food, Mariah and Dave know how to make their guests feel at home with delicious food baked right in front of you. Breakfast is served at two times each morning, and you choose what time works best for you. From the summer eggs to the applewood smoked bacon, these meals are satisfying! The puff pancakes with fresh fruit were absolutely exceptional.
