Hey Darlin’!
Welcome to Hey Darlin’ Cottage, a charming stay situated in the cozy mountain town of McCaysville, Georgia.
An ode to our sweet Abuela, Hey Darlin’ Cottage is a tribute to her unmatched warmth and boundless hospitality. The moment you stepped through her door, you’d hear her cheerful “Hey, Darlin’!” and feel a lipstick-stained kiss on your cheek. She never met a stranger — everyone felt like family.
Like Abuela, this cottage is more than a place to stay. It’s a place to belong. A cozy backdrop for belly laughs, slow mornings, and moments that linger. It’s where glasses clink, photos fill your camera roll, and hope feels as close as a friend.
May Hey Darlin’ Cottage be whatever you need it to be, but mostly importantly, the place where core memories are made.

Howdy from your hosts
John, Karsen, & Daphne
This moment has been years in the making. The dream of Hey Darlin’ Cottage began in my (Karsen’s) late teens, during Thanksgiving trips to Blue Ridge with my family. When John and I got married, it became our shared dream, though we never imagined it would come true so soon. Before our daughter, Daphne, turned one, we closed on this special property, a gift we’re deeply grateful for.
Now, we have the joy of hosting wonderful guests like you. Our goal? To make your stay feel as cozy and meaningful as possible. Whether it’s sharing local tips for your adventure, providing a pack n’ play so you can travel light, or helping you celebrate life’s special moments, we’re honored to welcome you to this little slice of heaven.
