We had a great time and enjoyed your cabin. The river side views were amazing and we definitely took advantage of the back porch. We loved the decor of the cabin and got to watch some good football games together in the living room! Thank you for the great communication and hospitality. We had everything we needed and more. We look forward to staying there again soon!!

We loved our 5 night stay in this cozy little cabin. The view of the river is spectacular, and was most definitely our favorite part of the cabin. The cabin was very clean and the property management company was friendly and responsive. The waterfall feature in the upstairs bathroom did not work, and even though there are two shower-heads in that shower, only one works with hot water. No big deal for us, so we never asked for maintenance to come assist. The cabin is so close to town, only 2.5 miles away, but yet it’s also so quiet and private. Perfect cabin for families. Bring your fishing poles!

We had such an amazing stay at the cabin! From the moment we arrived, everything felt warm, welcoming, and peaceful. The cabin was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had all the comforts of home with that perfect cozy mountain vibe.The location was unbeatable tucked away enough to feel private and serene, but still close to everything we wanted to do in town and the surrounding nature spots. We loved sipping coffee on the porch in the mornings and relaxing by the fire at night. It truly felt like a getaway where we could slow down and reconnect.Our family made the best memories here, and we’re already talking about when we can come back. If you’re looking for the perfect mix of comfort, charm, and Georgia mountain beauty, this cabin is it!

Disliked: Cleanliness
The cabin and location are beautiful, but it really did need to be cleaned better. It was very dusty with a lot of cobwebs, the windows were filthy, and the kitchen counters and dining ware were dirty. The couches absolutely need to be replaced. Thankfully there were clean linens so we could cover the couches with blankets. There also seemed to be a significant stinkbug issue. Some bugs are expected in a cabin but there were several live ones there during our 4-day stay with no signs of traps/pest control. Besides the cleanliness, the living room TV could be larger for the viewing distance and 1 bundle of firewood could have been provided for the pit outside. We found the kitchen to be a bit understocked if you plan to do a lot of cooking.Other than these things we did enjoy our stay in the cabin. The bed is comfy, the great room is impressive, and being by the river was very peaceful. The listing pictures are consistent with the accommodations.
