Cozy Hideaway

We loved the porch and deck out by the River, the s’mores night at the campfire, and the entire cottage itself. It was perfect place to host family over for the evening. We hope to come back!

Cabin Getaway

This property is wonderful. The cabin has all the amenities of home with extra attention to detail. The view of the river is amazing and so relaxing. The location is great and very close proximity to downtown Dahlonega. We will defiantly look to stay here again on our next visit to the mountains.

Christmas Vacation

Wonderful stay at the cabin on the river! Everything we could possibly need as well as a Christmas tree! Place was immaculate and went well and above what most VRBOs do. Convenient to Dahlonega as well as day trip to Helen. The fire pit overlooking River was fabulous. Would definitely stay again.

Best Cabin Ever!

This cabin was immaculate, extremely well equipped, everything worked perfectly, even all the light switches were labeled. The floor plan with 2 master suites was perfect for 2 couples. We enjoyed the large porch overlooking the river and our host, Bruce, told us to look for the family of ducklings and a pair of bald eagles. Dahlonega is a cute town to visit and we did several hikes in the area. We can’t recommend this cabin enough and certainly hope to return!

Best River Retreat!

The house, the proximity to the river and nearby outdoor activities were all excellent! Kids enjoyed swimming, fishing and the fire pit at the end of the day. Would highly recommend it and the owner was very accommodating and a great host. We look forward to our next visit! 🙂
