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.

There was a strong odor of mildew and the house was damp inside. Bedding had an odor. Pillows were flat. Paint is chipped off the walls. Things seemed worn out and old, shabby but not in a chic way.The owner was responsive to us and we appreciated her service. But I can't recommend this place.

Such a cute house!

We stayed 3 nights and really enjoyed the comfort & coziness of this house! A big pet peeve in VRBOs for us is when the furniture is just not comfortable- happy to say that the couch and recliner were both great! After touring around all day it was great to come home to Redbird Retreat. We also really appreciated the small fenced dog area. We would definitely stay there again!

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.

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!

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!

About the host

Hosted by Robin Wilson or James Watson

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!
