Fairy Cottage - FHD-1418

Playhouse-size



Tree Lodge

Pine Castle

  Nestled in the North Georgia Mountains, Sleepy Hollow is a delightful little enchanted park & gardens hidden away in plain sight - on busy Hwy 76/515, just 6 miles East of Blairsville, Georgia.
  Children of all ages can peek in the fairy & hobbit houses, observe whimsical figures, whirligigs and more in the enchanted park setting. Visitors can also purchase any of the fairy houses, fairy doors and figurines in the artist's shop or watch the artists at work and the crew is happy to field visitor questions.
   Sleepy Hollow is a family run enterprise - owner Art Millican Jr is a former Disney artisan with many years in Orlando as a senior artist and craftsman. Bringing all of the imagination and magic of his experience at Disney to the North Georgia Mountains, Art's fairy houses are all hand made and crafted right here in his woodworking studio. Visitors can see Art and his wood-elves toiling in the studio, designing and building all manner of exciting and mysterious toys, houses and magical fairy doors.
  Art, Sr. is usually found working his magic in the garden. Long retired from his own flower and garden center in Lexington, Massachusetts, Art senior enjoys keeping the flower displays and ground covers fresh and vibrant. Mom, Pat Millican helps out around the studio and runs the retail store where in addition to her son's, whimsical creations, you can find other unique gifts and a large line of art supplies for those wishing to create their own magic.
  It's not all about just the fairy houses, Art's imagination and creativity extends to Automata (small ingenious wood hand crank toys); a series of gremlin figurines and miniature fairy doors.

 Fascinated with wood hand-crank toys, Art has developed several whimsical toys with moving parts, his leprechaun in a Mason Jar has a small hand-crank and when operated, the leprechaun pounds on the jar. Mechanical toys have been made throughout man's history, as soon as a mechanical discovery was made, someone usually used it in a toy. Over the years, these toys have developed a marvelous sophistication, the art, engineering and imagination needed to create these working miniature machines presents a unique challenge.

Our fairy doors are also unique - by placing them around homes and businesses they create a fun buzz for employees, visitors and families.
