My husband and I loved the quietness! It was just a perfect place for us to stay with our little 🐕. We wanted to stay forever. The only thing we missed was a clock on the wall, but we had our cell phones. Great little cabin.

Quiet and peaceful place

Overall good trip. Cabin was clean place was quiet. Everything I needed cabin already had. Really enjoyed the serenity of overall experience. If you want to get away from normal life and hide away in the mountains this is the perfect place to do. Being minutes away from practically everything you need stores ,restaurants, places to tour and visit. just 10 minute drive down the mountain and minutes away from everything.

Weekend getaway

I booked this little cabin for myself and my husband for a weekend getaway. (we have been to this area before) The cabin was very cute and clean. I isn't very big but it was just the two of us and our dog. It wasn't too far located from the things we wanted to do, but it was far enough away to feel like you were off to yourself. There were other cabins fairly close but there was still plenty of privacy. I would defiantly stay in this cabin again.

Cozy cabin in the woods

The size and open concept layout made this cabin a great place to stay. We enjoyed the fireplace which was easy to operate and made a rainy weekend cozier. There were also plenty of games and books had we wanted to take advantage of those. It was also nice that there were extra bathroom towels(sometimes an issue with rentals.) The kitchen, however, was not that well stocked and had we wanted to really utilize it that might have been an issue. Also there was an odd smell in the cabin but we bought air freshener and that improved. We definitely would stay there again and very thankful our little rescue dog could join us.

Relaxing Stay in Nature

The number one thing I enjoyed about this cabin was the nature & its woodsy style. As someone who grew up in North GA then moving to the surrounding Atlanta area, I missed the woods and mountains. Once my partner & I got there, the cabin was freezing! We could not figure out how to use the gas heater or the gas fireplace. So, we had to go to the nearby Walmart & purchase a space heater. In addition, when we got there, there were multiple bags of garbage outside the front door. However, about a day later, someone came by to take them. Lastly, on our last day, we did not know what to do with our garbage bags. The binder stated to leave them outside the door, however, above the trashcan were instructions about taking the bags to a local disposal place. Despite the little things, we still enjoyed our stay greatly! Thank you Vacasa!

6/10 Okay

Good, and not so good.

I recently stayed at this property for three nights while I was hiking in the north Georgia mountains. Here are my thoughts: the property itself is quite nice. A nice front porch perfect for relaxing in a rocking chair. The inside was very clean, and looked to be quite comfortable. The bed was clean and very comfortable. I enjoyed sleeping on it and slept well. Had issues with the Wi-Fi, they had a new router and a password, but evidently they had not chosen to update it with Vicasa. It took over 24 hours to get that straightened out. I could not get the TV to work, it kept saying it had a weak signal. After the Wi-Fi was fixed it was really not an issue for me. The road is a real problem. if you do not have a four-wheel-drive or an all-wheel-drive vehicle I would not recommend trying to drive it. It is extraordinarily dusty, and it’s not wide enough in places for two vehicles to pass each other. I had a major issue trying to get back up with a large pick up truck was coming down. I spun out and had to get some assistance from the driver of the truck. Fortunately, we were able to get that done. I think that it’s probably too far out of town for folks who want to go in and out. I would not stay here again because of the road.

This cabin had other cabins close by. But it was quiet. Because it was almost at a dead end road. It was clean and well kept.
