Nice place on Thanksgiving
House was nice, and the river in the back was very nice and peaceful. House in relation to Dahlonega was great, but road to and from the the immediate area of the house was a bit treacherous.

Perfect Fit!
This beautiful lakefront property was the ideal space for our 3 generation family of 8 to get away for a few days! Sleeping space on all 3 levels gave everyone their own space, and the spacious common living areas made for some great times! We found everything we needed from the well appointed kitchen to the beautiful outdoor space and firepit area. Would definitely stay here again!

Nothing short of awesome
Amazing getaway for relaxation and quality time. The river was great to listen to while sitting by the firepit and safe to swim in for adults. Janet and David were so considerate of all of our needs and very responsive and thoughtful. One of the best VRBO’s I’ve been in, wish I could have been there longer.

Relaxing Family Time
The perfect location for our family to attend a wedding in Dahlonega. The home was clean and well equipped for anything we needed for a comfortable stay. The outdoor area was beautiful and fun to explore with the grandkids. Sitting at the fire pit listening to the river was the best! Thank you for sharing your home, hopefully we can come back soon!

Excellent little house in the woods
Girlfriends getaway weekend! The little house in the woods was perfect for four ladies looking to getaway. The house sits on the river so you get to hear the rush of the water from the covered porch. The house was well stocked for the weekend. The road in is a little narrow and steep but would stay here again.

Amazing views!
Owners are excellent, great communicators throughout the rental! River location is unparalleled, house is very clean and well stocked with all you need. One challenge some much older folks may not want is the very narrow road the 1/4 or so mile before house with no pull offs if you encountered another car. Overall a rental none will come away with unhappy!

Family Holiday getaway
This is a very clean and cozy home with amazing views and lakefront property. Janet and David take extra care to make your stay comfortable by providing the basics necessities to start with. The kitchen has everything you need to cook big family meals. The bedrooms are very comfortable and cozy. The property is amazing! Our kids and grandkids loved it! This home is conveniently close to one of the cutest north Georgia mountain towns - Dahlonega. Also located near many waterfall hikes, kayaking, tubing and wineries! We highly recommend staying here.

Nice Christmas stay
Traveled with my husband and both sets of parents for Christmas. House was as described and very well stocked. The views were wonderful d it was nice to wake up to the sound of running water. Fire pit was great for a chilly winter night. We’d like to return when it’s warmer so we can enjoy the river! Janet was very communicative prior to and during our stay. And it was a nice touch that the house was tastefully decorated for the holiday.

Friends Fun
Gorgeous property with plenty to do. Great outdoor setting with stream that can be seen and heard from enclosed patio. The house is beautifully decorated and nice bedroom space for all. There were 7 adults in our group. Additional seating in living room would have made it more comfortable. And, the road to the property is narrow with curves. Overall, I recommend this property because of its size, outdoor space and wonderful owners!

The Best Thanksgiving
My family had such a great time enjoying Thanksgiving at the H & J Riverhouse. The house is great and the property is stunningly beautiful. It’s right on a small stretch of rapids so the sound of the water was very relaxing. The house is extremely well stocked and the kitchen and grill made cooking for Thanksgiving really easy. The hosts left very clear instructions indicating where everything you need is located in the house. Finally, it’s both very secluded yet only ten minutes from downtown and close to wineries. We would love to stay here again!
