We enjoyed our stay at the cabin. Every couple had their own floor and a view of the water. The deer were everywhere. The place was clean and had lots of kitchen equipment including a crockpot and big coffee maker. The hot tub looked new and was so relaxing. We had a quiet restful stay. My parents were able to bring their dog so that was a plus. Wish there had been one more chair in the living area for everyone to sit together but we made it work. Very nice place to recharge and rest. We would recommend this place to friends.

The cabin was clean enough towels for everyone. The hot tub was wonderful. The porches were great to just sit on and watch the deer and the river flow. We had a wonderful time.

Overall, we really enjoyed our stay! A coupleof negatives were that we arrive 30 min after check-in time and the cleaners were still there. We had to wait for them to finish, and then found a dirty sock on the stairs, mop on the porch…minor things. There weren’t enough towels/washcloths or hand soapfor all the bathrooms. There is laundry and a few laundry pods, so I just washed them. But not ideal. The home appears to be secluded, but there are other houses on both sides, which in our case had a lot of kids playing/screaming, and a parking lot of some kind across the river with a good amount of traffic. We have kids as well, so it’s understandable, but not what we were expecting here. The main floor at TV’s speakers are blown and it is not usable. Another thing to note is that it takes about 10 minutes to drive out of the gated community and get on a main rd. Something to keep in mind for going anywhere. According to my gps, the community center with pools/tennis courts, etc. is roughly a 20 min drive from this home. So, not really very accessible. All that being said, the river is nice, the house was comfortable and lovely. The kitchen was decently stocked. We had a fun time! I would probably not come back only because of the noise level in the area. But we liked the property itself, beds were comfortable, and the host company was very communicative.

Family tubing trip

The house was very nice. There was plenty of room to spread out. Being able to play in the water right at the house was great. The hosts were very responsive.

This is our second time staying here and we really enjoy it! I do think the air hockey table should be replaced as it hasn’t worked either time we have stayed.

We had a great trip. We took our son and our other kiddos on vacation to celebrate his high school graduation. The kids all went tubing from the pool to the cabin it took about 1 1/2 hours. Bigun’s BBQ was excellent. We went downtown Elijay, Blue Ridge and we went to Dalonega. My daughter and her finance went hiking in TN and visited Helen GA. The cabin had everything we needed except a king size bed for my 6’4” husband but he didn’t complain.
