The Seventy-four Ranch

The Seventy-four Ranch is a working ranch comprised of 50+ rolling acres situated on beautiful pastureland with spectacular mountain views.  The pond provides a great place for some quiet afternoon fishing.  If you want to cool off, you can dangle your feet in Scarecorn Creek, which surrounds the ranch and is filled with private beaches and small islands for your adventures.  

Here at the Seventy-four Ranch we raise Texas Longhorn cattle, Corriente cattle, and quarter horses, among other typical farm animals.  There are usually any number of baby animals at a given time that children especially enjoy.

Interactive … the Old Fashioned Way

The Seventy-four Ranch allows you to get up close and personal with nature and the way cowboys lived over 100 years ago.  Learn to rope and ride and sing to the little doggies.  You can become part of a “cattle drive” or help with branding.

The Butler-Cape House

Our family home is known as the Butler-Cape House.  It is a Civil War era farmhouse located on land that was once part of the Cherokee nation.  We have lovingly furnished it with antiques brought in from all corners of the globe.

This beautiful home from a bygone era possesses all the floors, walls, and ceilings from its original construction.  While you sit back to relax and take in the great views of the North Georgia mountains, your hosts will take you on a trip back in time. 

Your Stay at our Bed and Breakfast

You will soak up a sense of genuine Western history while you experience the legends of the Cape family and their involvement in the Moonshine Wars of North Georgia. You are welcome to browse our Western library and relax with a book on the history of the Old West, Civil War, Indians, horses and the like, in addition to modern selections

Come visit us and enjoy rocking on the back porch, listen to music or just “conversate”, or head for the swings in the party wellhouse. There are beautiful places here to nap, daydream, or read. If it’s raining or too cold, then head to the cowboy saddlehouse with its game table (and selection of games and cards for your pleasure) and warm up with a roaring fire. Make friends with the cattle and horses who can come up close by to the fence for a visit and a rub.
