About this property

Wine Country Retreat at Cardinal Hill

Your search ends here. This one-of-a-kind beautiful property is in the heart of North Georgia wine country. It is a completely private apartment and bath. You can walk to Kaya Winery and it is a 1/2 mile to Frogtown Winery. Four other wineries are within minutes. We are situated with the Chattahoochee National Forest and all of its hiking possibilities right in our backyard. A five minute walk to our pond winds through a shady forest trail. The views from this retreat are magnificent in all seasons. Dahlonega, Helen, Sautée-Nacoochee (delightful gem) and Cleveland are all an easy short drive away. Enjoy a relaxing stay with hosts who are thrilled to share the beauty of this property! We can extend the check in/out if the calendar allows, giving you more time at no additional cost!

Many people travel the area on motorcycles or in convertibles/Jeeps in order to experience its beauty. Bicyclists also enjoy the mountain challenge.

There is no end to the activities within close reach: wine hopping, hiking, shopping, restaurants, fishing, rafting. We have provided a variety of resources on what to do in the area.

We are so happy to host you and strive to make this one of your best stays ever! Many guests comment in our reviews that the pictures don’t do it justice. Come see for yourself!

We are on-property and happy to interact with our guests, but we are also fine with laying low and giving you privacy. Please note there are stairs in the unit. The bath is ground floor with the apartment above. The apartment is equipped with a kitchenette area. We look forward to seeing you soon!

WE HAVE ADDITIONAL LODGING OPTIONS TO SLEEP UP TO 14. PLEASE TAKE A LOOK AT “The Nest at Cardinal Hill”

This is a wonderfully simple yet comfortable property. The description is accurate in that the bathroom is on the first floor with the rest of the space up a flight of stairs. The kitchenette has a fridge, microwave and coffee maker. The views are lovely and there is outdoor space and a trail in the woods. I would stay again as a solo or couple but would look for a larger space with more than 2 people.

Must say that the location is very convenient. It is very close to many cool places in Georgia. I would recommend Helen and they have a very neat antiques shop. Anna ruby falls id not too bad of a drive either. Mrs.Tina was very kind to us and I would recommend a stay with her.

We are happy that you found us and were able to have a beautiful stay. This guest did inquire about the stairs (we mention in our listing that the apartment has stairs) in the apartment before their stay and we responded in detail. There were no further concerns expressed before or during the stay. We would have been happy to cancel and refund their reservation or provide lodging at one of our single level lodging options had they indicated that there were mobility issues. We always encourage people to reach out ahead of their reservations with any questions. We are very responsive, understanding and flexible. Thank you for staying at Cardinal Hill!
