Great Stay

We used the home as our accommodations for a three day fishing trip in North Georgia. We found the home in great condition and the place was very well stocked with everything one could need. The home is spacious and the outdoor firepit was used all three nights. If you have need of accommodations near Clarkesville I would highly recommend. Clean, comfortable, good location.

Great getaway

The house has been renovated but still holds the classic charm of days gone by. The location is ideal for day trips to local waterfalls and hiking trails plus just minutes away from Helen. The property manager, Brittany, was very informative about the neighborhood since we were traveling with pets. She also checked in on us after a severe storm moved through the area. That meant a lot to us. The kitchen was well stocked and the home was very clean and peaceful. This is a great place to sit back and enjoy nature or head for the trails.

Clarkesville Stay

Several couples, myself and my wife enjoyed a long weekend stay at this home. We were in Clarkesville for a fly fishing trip. We all had a wonderful experience in the home. It’s only a couple minutes from the town center. The home was very comfortable, had everything we needed and the property manager was kind and very responsive to any questions we had. We’ll definitely stay here again.

Amazing Property

The property was just as advertised plus some. Brittany made it so easy to book the home and check in. If we come back to the area we will booking this home again. All the small items that are provided for the just in case you forgot something is extremely thoughtful and some of the items came in handy. A small example is my stepdaughter cut herself and we didn't have anything with us, but there were items at the home for us to use to clean and bandage her up. Just an amazing experience and a beautiful home. Very family oriented. Thanks for making it such a memorable time for our family. The Haas, Gamble, and Bernstein families.

The house is beautiful. The kitchen is a dream kitchen, except the pots and pans needed to be replaced. Other than that, the kitchen was VERY well stocked. We bought a pan to use during our stay.The air conditioning was wonderful, much needed since it was July and very hot.The beds on the main level were very uncomfortable. We stayed on the main level, since we had our dog with us and my husband has a bad knee. Neither one of us slept good. I like a soft bed, husband likes a firm bed but neither one of us could sleep, the bed was very hard even too firm for husband. If you can go upstairs, the beds up there seemed better.The host, Brittany was great to deal with. Very easy to get a hold of and responded quickly when we reported a problem. The problem was the trash cans were full when we arrived and had tons of flies buzzing around the cans, which were very close to the kitchen door. Also, someone must have left the bathroom window cracked open, because we discovered that open window after the first couple of days. Sadly, lots of flies got inside the house, so we were dealing with them during our stay, buzzing all around us whenever we had food. Brittany sent a someone to the house quickly, and he took care of the trash issue.The house was very pretty and other than the uncomfortable beds, the furniture was very nice. The house sits back, long driveway, on a busy road, not a road that you can walk your dog on, so we drove about 5 minutes to walkable area.
Really beautiful kitchen and very well stocked, just needed some nicer pots and pans, the bottoms of the pans were very scratched.
