Great private location which conveniently near the charming town of Blairsville.

A very comfortable house with everything you need to relax after a day out exploring. The deck is a plus to enjoy morning coffee or a glass of wine in the evening . Quiet neighborhood where I enjoyed a morning walk. Host Robin was very accommodating when I made a request to check in before 4 pm. I hope to return next time I am in Blairsville.

We were very pleased with the Redbird Retreat. Nice neighborhood fairly quiet (neighbors have dogs), the house was clean and comfortable. Check in and out was very easy. We would love to come back when we can stay longer.

Perfect location, perfect comfort, perfect hostess.

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to the Redbird Retreat. Perfect for a weekend getaway for us and our 2 small dogs -the fenced yard area was a great convenience. Robin was wonderful when we had a couple of small requests. Thank you so much!

Awesome!

We so thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Redbird Retreat. The bed was great - not to hard not to soft. We cooked a few meals and found everything we needed right there. We spent several enjoyable evenings in front of the fireplace. The property manager was kind enough to arrange for some firewood. The deck was perfect for coffee in the morning. 5 stars all around! Thanks!

Sweet little rental in North Georgia

By daughter, dog and I stayed at the Redbird Retreat this past weekend. The house was exactly as described and met our expectations. Very cozy and comfortable. Robin was very responsive anytime I had to contact her - she's great. We'd definitely stay here again!

Great Getaway

What a great place to stay for a long weekend! We visited with family who lives in town - we played board games in the living room. I loved the fenced in area for the dogs (equipped with a pooper scooper for easy clean up!) We didn’t use the washer and dryer but the full sized units were great. It was cozy and comfortable for the two of us and the three dogs! Great contact with the owners and easy to find. Thanks for a great stay!

Cute and Convenient

The cabin was perfect for our needs while we were in between moves and Robin was so nice to let us extend our stay twice! The fenced area for our fur babies was ideal too. It’s a small area but connects to the patio so they didn’t feel confined. Kitchen was well stocked too. Perfect for two people and convenient to stores/restaurants in the area. I would definitely recommend this place especially if you travel with your fur babies!

Outstanding Retreat

We have been traveling for the past few years from place to place and stayed in many rentals. We found Redbird Retreat to be a lovely home. The owner has obviously put a great deal of thought into the furnishings of this home. It really wants for nothing. My wife and I - and our little dog - stayed for a couple of weeks and found it to be extremely clean and comfortable. It's a quiet neighborhood setting close to the lake with plenty of privacy. The deck is a really nice place to sit and relax when not visiting the lake or nearby parks/waterfalls.

House hunting with our dogs

A brief 3 day stay with our dogs from Florida looking at vacation homes. Looked for something convenient and close to town to our realtor. Also allowed our 3 dogs which was extremely nice. Road easy to drive on and houses around but very quiet. Was able to walk dogs down the road not worried about traffic. It does have a side fenced yard which was a reason I rented it, but was really muddy and smaller than expected so dogs couldn’t really explore like I thought, but otherwise would definitely recommend and stay here again when we come to visit being we didn’t find a home this time around.

TV's

TV's did not work, no instructions on how to operate. This is about TV's over fireplace. GPS had had time getting us to and from cabin to make it to the wedding. The amount of time we were there it was a nice place, if the TV had been working.

We booked for two weeks and left 2 days early. Cottage smelled very musty causing me breathing problems. TV did not work properly. Has issues with it and very basic ameneties not available. Even samples to get us started. For us it was the Cottage of NO return.

Wonderful! A peaceful port in the storm

We rented this cottage as we evacuated from coastal Florida avoiding hurricane Irma. It was me, my son, my daughter, my granddaughter and our four poodles. Robin was kind enough to accept our dogs and this place was great. After a very long and sometimes stressful trip, we arrived at this beautiful, comfortable and enchanting cottage. Immediately, our stress fell away and was replaced by calm. The cottage is near others but felt secluded as it is surrounded by large trees and it also borders the national forest. Every day we were visited by a family of deer. It is an easy ride to town, which we did often. The beds were comfortable and it was nice having laundry facilities. Thank you Robin, your cottage was truly a wonderful and peaceful port in the storm.

Secluded yet very accessible

We were in town for a family function and this property couldn't not have been more perfect. You feel very secluded because you are in a wooded neighborhood but it is very easy to find and roads are easy to navigate. A big plus .. you can be in town with just a 10 minute or so drive. Try to visit The Sawmill Place for breakfast if you can ... the food is delicious and staff are so nice. There's a little bit of a wait but worth it. You can rock on the front porch while you wait. The town is charming and the area is beautiful. Take some time for sight seeing if you can. You won't regret it. We are already looking forward to a return visit.

Host profile image
We both live and work in the Atlanta area and have for many years. Each of us own our own "retreat" in Blairsville and spend many weekends and holidays. Through the years our family and friends have grown to love the area as much as we do. When the opportunity came up, we bought Redbird Retreat so we can now share the loveliness of the area with everyone.
We hope you love it as much as we do!

What makes this property unique

There are so many things to see and do in the North GA Mountains and all year round. Lots of festivals and events, beautiful lakes, parks and waterfalls. A lot of walking trails, wonderful places to eat and close to the new Harrah Casino in Murphy, NC. Redbird Retreat is close to it all!
