Hi Everyone,
We are Mark and Ruth Anderson, two retirees who were born and raised in NY State, where we met, married, and had our two sons. Weโve been living in the southeast (Boca Raton, FL and Roswell GA) for more than 4 decades now โ and in GA for more than 30 years. Our boys grew up, married, blessed us with 7 grandchildren (and now one Great Grand) , and over time everyone moved to different states. We had been renting cabins in Fannin and Union counties since 2003, and dreamed of one day owning a cabin of our own, so in 2019 we made that dream come true! We purchased a 2 BR 2 BA cabin in Mineral Bluff GA, with the plan of using the cabin a couple of weekends a month. Before we knew it, we were there every weekend, and decided to sell our Roswell GA home and move to the mountains full time. We love our decision!
After we finished working on our cabin, we decided to look into buying another property (cabin) and making that cabin into a short term/vacation rental that would give others the same wonderfully relaxing experience that we always had when we visited the mountains.
When we found this cabin we knew it was the one! On our first visit here, some deer came running through the woods out back. Every time we visited after that, the same thing happened. So when we were deciding on a name for the cabin, Running Deer Cabin was the first thing we thought of!
Getting Running Deer into shape again was a lot of work, but so much fun! Every job we did made it come alive a little bit more! Searching for pieces to furnish it with, and decorate with, became our new hobby, and we were surprised at how the right items would just jump out at us when we went out searching for them.
Now we are ready to share it with others, and we hope they will love it, and become a regular visitor to this beautiful area!
