As
you drive down the country lane into the Seventy-four Ranch, you'll see
the lovely rolling foothills of the North Georgia Mountains. The big sky
is wide and blue, and our spirited horses and our cattle are on the move.
Get ready to relax in rugged indulgence. The historic Butler-Cape House, built in the mid 1800's, is the heart
of the Ranch. Our rooms, cabins and suites are hand-crafted for your
delight. Antiques, artifacts and artwork await you, and you'll be refreshed
by comfy beds, down pillows, quilts and fluffy towels. See our beautiful rooms on the Rooms Page.
The Seventy-four Ranch is dog friendly as well as family friendly. We love animals and want your animal companions to join you for a fun weekend or overnight visit with us while you stay at our Bed and Breakfast here in Jasper, Georgia, which is about an hour from both Atlanta and Chattanooga. Read about our Pet Policy on the Pet Friendly Page. And don't miss our feature in the AJC: "5 Trips Fido and Humans will Love".
In
the moonlight, roast marshmallows around the campfire and listen to the
true tales of the history of the ranch. We'll tell you about the Cherokee
Indians, the Civil War, and the 'Moonshine War' here. The night sky
sparkles with stars, and we have a fun and easy way to get you started on
your exploration of the starry heavens. Read about our Stargazing adventures on the Stargazing Page.
Care
for a little adventure? We have 1200 acres to ride. Stay right
here on the ranch and learn to rope like a cowboy or fish for your dinner
in Parker Pond. We've got the poles, bait and plenty of fish. Watch
our foals learning to become cow horses and our calves scampering after
the herd. Big Scarecorn Creek invites a family expedition or a rendezvous
point for cocktails. See all the Activities available on the dropdown menu above.
Wake
to the smell of rich coffee and the sounds of the ranch coming to life.
Your hearty breakfast is served on the antique french dining table in the
Butler-Cape House. View Sample Menus. Savor the freshest of foods, often straight
from our garden and organic when possible. Stroll around our gardens, full
of antique roses and period flowers, or find a porch or a wooden swing and
luxuriate in the breeze that sweeps through our valley. When it's
time to leave, you'll be refreshed and renewed, with memories that will
last a lifetime.
