awesome cabin by a sparling stream

Great location with easy access to town and activities. Felt very private even though there were other houses nearby. Grandson loved playing in the little stream on the property. Nice mix of indoor and outdoor spaces.

Fantastic Location!

Let me start by saying that this is a great house in a fantastic location. I loved being right on the stream running through the backyard. It was very relaxing. The house was not clean, however, and that’s a dealbreaker for me. There was mold on both shower curtains, the oven had baked on nastiness inside, the grill was so dirty we could not use it, and the best part was the FOOD and dirt behind the couch. (I dropped something back there and had to move it.) The dishes needed to be washed coming out of the cabinet, and the coffee cups were chipped so badly that I couldn’t even use most of them. I did bring all of this to the owners attention, and she assured me this was not up to her standards and she would address it. I hope she does, because this really is a nice spot. I did not appreciate the fact that I paid a cleaning fee and had to clean the home as soon as we got there. That’s just not ok.

Lovely Anniversary Trip

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house met all our needs and the location near the creek was excellent. We also enjoyed the town of Blairsville and found many things to do. If you like hiking, you will find that north Georgia has plenty to offer.

Beautiful but nasty

The cabin and location was beautiful but they do bare minimum cleaning. Bottom of shower liner was disgusting. Back of door in basement bathroom looked like it never gets cleaned and it had brown stuff smeared on it. Mattress was nasty looking when we removed the sheets. Trash can in upstairs bathroom was falling apart. Washer and drier are in an unfinished room in the basement. Felt like you were in a dungeon going in there. We had came for a wedding and had to iron some things. Had to put towel over ironing board because it was nasty from sitting on the floor of the “dungeon”. Although we loved being down by the creek and playing in it we will never stay here again.

Quick get away

Beautiful property, even better than the pics. Only complaint is that there were 2 empty propane tanks for the grill, so we had to cook our steaks on the stove.

Blairsville getaway

Rented the house for 4 old friends to relax and catch-up. The creekside location was heavenly and more than compensated for the obvious need for a little investment. Chipped coffee mugs, an aging mattress, peeling decking, broken glass in a patio table, that sort of thing. It was still a lovely getaway for us.

Thanksgiving Family Get away

The house was great! Plenty of room for all of us along with the rest of the family that was staying down the road. Only issue we had was the propane tank was empty so we went and refilled and there was garbage in can so we didn't have enough room for our trash. Definitely want to go back

Peaceful

The house was very clean. We did not experience any problems. Everything went smoothly from check in to check out. I loved sitting on the porch in the morning listening to nature and loved sitting by the creek. The multi arcade game was fun as well. I definitely would love to come back and stay here or even check out their other location/home.

Best cabin and location ever

Very clean The creek is AWSOME. Motorcycle friendly including the parking. Great fire pit nights, relaxing hot tub and it was close to hiking, parks,and the town of Blairsville. Lots of attractions and things to do but yet relaxing and away from it all. Visited granddaddy mims distillery and hiked. Fire pit was very nice.

Wonderful weekend

The house was perfect for us. We did have a few small issues but nothing major. The game area was fantasic. I thought my son would enjoy it but it was actually the adults who played pac man. The hot tub was relaxing especially at night time. The creek was perfectly described. There's even a small rope swing. The firepit area was night as well but there could be lighting at night time. The only issues was the downstairs tv just randomly would work in the bedroom and the remote looked like a dog chewed on it. All in all we would definitely love to come back.
