Great for Family Vacation
The house is beautiful and the location is incredibly private and remote but surprisingly close to a major highway! The house has beds, comfortable seating in living room, wonderful screened porch with a beautiful view of the river, and very nice kitchen. We enjoyed the fire pit which is only a few yards from the river’s edge. The nearby town of Dahlonega is extremely charming. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Winery Weekend
We had a great stay and it looks even better than the pictures! Great communication before the trip and did not have any questions while we were there. Recommend planning to drive or arranging transportation because we could not get ubers. The roads are steep to get down to this house on the river but manageable. Such a great view from the deck and Walmart is very close by for everything you need! Master bed was very comfy! We were sad to leave. What a hidden gem! Recommended outings: Cavender Creek Winery, Amicalola falls, Wolf Mountain Winery, Dahlonega Resort for dinner, and especially Big Creek Distillery!

Wonderful stay!
We had a wonderful stay here! Wish we would’ve had more time to enjoy the house. But we did enjoy the fire pit with smores one night and it was so peaceful drinking coffee in the porch with the beautiful view of the river! It is a little ways off of main road, but we were well aware and all the info we were sent was accurate and helpful!

Great Family Getaway
The house is beautiful, well maintained and was perfect for a secluded family getaway for our family. Owner was very responsive when we had an issue getting in and helped us get my parents in as they were the first to arrive. The location and secluded feel was just what we were looking for with our trip. Follow the recommendations of SUV or truck to access the property. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would consider rebooking for the future.

The house was very nice and spacious. But we didn’t like how far the house was from the main road. It was difficult navigating the road, especially at night. Also, the trash was piled up in the garage when we arrived.

Beautiful with Dangerous Access Road
The road to the property was hazardous. It was raining most of the weekend and although we knew it was a gravel road with a very tight turn from the highway, we were unprepared for the single lane with drop offs and no rails—it triggered PTSD symptoms in the 2 of us who have been in MVAs. Fortunately we did not have to travel out after dark or during the rain. We also had some confusion about the thermostat and our contact person was less than helpful. I got no response to my text for about 30 minutes. When I called, I got an answer but was asked to send a picture of the thermostat and didn’t hear back at all after that. We figured it out after about an hour without their help. The house and property were beautiful and spacious, but bring extra essentials, such as toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags, and cups if you have more than a few people.

Peaceful Oasis
We thoroughly enjoyed the coziness of this property! The kitchen was absolutely beautiful and great for gathering! We could not have found a better place. The only thing we were a bit surprised about was the narrow and dangerous road to the house but it was well worth it once we got to the house!

Not what I expected
Not what we expected. No firewood available as is shown in the picture, fireplace was difficult to use, too hot in the master bedroom when the heat was on so not very well distributed, coffee grounds left in the coffee pot by cleaners, a mass of garbage left in the garage and per the cleaner, it was from the prior tenants and just was not removed, porches were not clean, had lots of leaves and debris all around. I was disappointed considering this was a holiday trip for my family and cost me over $700/nite when all the fees were calculated. WE were also very unprepared for the dangerous left hand turn on to the access road from Hwy 52. We were somewhat delayed and it was raining so it was already dark when we arrived. Very Scary and no marker or indicator at the turn to show it and how tight the turn was. I almost drove over the decline. I won't book this expensive venue again.

Hideaway in the mountains without giving up modern comforts!
This property is great if you want lots of comfortable space off the beaten path without giving up modern comforts. Heed the warning in the listing about the road leading to the property, but rest assured you'll be happy with the home and its amenities once you arrive.

Destination wedding
This house is absolutely beautiful and was perfect for the bride (daughter) and all her girls getting ready for the wedding. The scenery made for some beautiful pictures. Very peaceful! The road is a little tricky to get to the home, and I would not recommend driving down at night for the first time . Some of the vehicles struggled (smaller cars) I Definitely recommend 4x4. We had the guys pick us up in their trucks and transport us around (no complaints there!) would do it all over again. Communication and everything about our stay was top notch. Dahlonega is a beautiful town and We were just 15 minutes from our venue. Everything is close by once you get on the main road.

Wonderful Dahlonega Girls Trip!
We stayed here with a group of girls for my sister’s 40th birthday. The house was perfect! Beautifully updated, lots of space, and pretty views. We loved sitting on the deck overlooking the river. The house is stocked with everything you need in the kitchen, and they also had some games! The drive on the gravel/dirt road was a little tricky and I wouldn’t recommend doing the drive for the first time after dark. Once you’re on the main road, it’s a short drive to town! We were still able to get a small bus to pick us up at the house for our winery tours. Highly recommend this house!

Great house if some things change
This house is great. The road to get out to this house mostly unpacked and it is very remote. The house is beautiful. But, it sleeps 10 but there is not service for 10, in the kitchen. There were only two pans. There are only two knives to cut anything. The fan in the master bedroom doesn’t work. The jacuzzi tub doesn’t work. We had to ask four days in a row and then finally demand that the garbage to be taken out of the garage. The vacuum does not work, and I asked three days in a row for a solution to that. The welcome packet refers to the heater on the back porch, but there was no propane in the heater. When we inquired, we were told the heater was only for the owners use and we would have to take the propane out of the grill. This property has a lot of potential, but the kinks definitely need to be worked out. The lack of amenities available and response time from the management company was not sufficient. We stayed here for two weeks and expected a lot more from the property.
