Wonderful stay

My daughters and I had a great and relaxing long weekend. House was well stocked and had plenty of room. Owner was attentive and helpful. My girls want to come back in the summer to enjoy the river.

Family girls trip

This property was beautiful! We loved looking out over the Chestatee river. The house was clean and comfortable and located in the middle of all the small towns we wanted to visit! We enjoyed our time there very much!

Great Family Retreat House

This house was perfect for our large family/friend needs. The three-floor split was great as we could give the teenagers their own space on the bottom floor with their own kitchen/living area. We LOVED being on the river! We had plenty of backyard space to play, have a fire and let the dog run and have fun. The communication with the owner was excellent and he made us feel very welcome and was very accommodating. Very quiet property and wasn’t too far from things to do. We highly recommend this listing!

Our favorite vacation rental

We travel quite often and this has been our favorite place to stay. The home is located close to the river and it’s so quiet and serene. The house is clean and has all the things we could possibly need. The owner is very friendly and keeps in communication during your stay. We love that it’s close to everywhere we like to visit. We have stayed here 3 times and will definitely be booking again.

Nice mountain getaway

We spent a weekend with our sons and grandkids and had a great time. Mitch was a great host, very responsive, and he left us firewood and smores for the fire pit which was a huge hit. The property being right on the creek was fantastic. Peaceful for us adults, and lots of fun for the grandkids who learned to skip rocks.

Fun friend group trip

The house is perfect! There was plenty of room for everyone in our group. The 2nd story porch was great for coffee in the morning and hanging out. The fire pit had tons of seating, and we were able to get firewood from the owners as needed. The biggest plus is the view and the tranquility of the river running right off of the back yard. I highly recommend this property for families, friends, or whatever kind of group you have. Looking forward to coming back soon!!

Family Reunion- Girls Trip

Mitch was an excellent host and very prompt to answer any concerns. The property was enough room for all of us to visit and have our own space too! The location on the riverside was the best part, Mitch had firewood and smores waiting for our arrival. Parking was tricky as the driveway is very steep but if you drive around to the back of the house it is nice and flat for parking and entering from the rear entrance. Great location!!

Perfect location!

We stayed here on a girls trip. The accommodations were exactly as described. House was clean and well organized. Everything worked. Our favorite places were the back porch (the swing is amazing!) and the fire pit. Check in and check out were super easy. The host was readily available, but we had no issues. We hope to stay here again, and stay for longer.

Nice home and location

Three floors of “home” with all of the amenities including a backyard river, fire pit and s’mores, made this vacation one for a repeat. The family thoroughly enjoyed it and our week together. We were warm and cozy there and had plenty of local shopping and fun when we were out and about.
