The house was absolutely perfect for our trip. It was extremely clean and very private. The fire pit area was a nice touch. We had some bear friends that came to visit us one morning. The host was very responsive when we had questions. I highly recommend this property if you’re staying in the area.

Prepare yourself! You will not want to leave the Porter. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The home was decorated beautifully and the stone fireplace and vaulted ceiling made for a dramatic entrance. They have everything you need for a relaxing enjoyable stay. The hot tub was large and clean, and we enjoyed catching up and roasting smores over the firepit. You'll love the Porter!

The place was perfect! Perfectly stocked kitchen down to the amities. The weather was beautiful which made our mornings a breath of fresh air. It was the perfect location not too hard to get to at all. The bed was super comfortable. We definitely enjoyed every minute. Close to town but not too close. We give it two thumbs up and all the stars. Will definitely come back.

Awesome Stay!

We stayed for one night in this peaceful home! We enjoyed the proximity to north Georgia’s top hiking trails and the convenience to local north Georgia gems (Cleveland, Dahlonega & Suches).The hosts left clear instruction & a very clean home.

We had a wonderful stay! The home is clearly new construction, beautifully maintained, very clean, and has a spacious open-concept layout. The host was responsive and communicated well throughout our stay.We invited another couple to join us for a birthday celebration, and the layout was perfect for spending quality time together. The Retreat had plenty of games and all the amenities we needed.If you're traveling with others and like having private downtime, note that there are no TVs in the bedrooms.A couple of suggestions I would make are; adding roller shades to the lower picture windows and doors to provide more privacy at night. The daytime views of the surrounding nature is beautiful, but after dark it's easy to see inside when the lights are on which was a little uncomfortable. Second, pavers leading to the fire pit would also make access easier.Our only issues were that the bluetooth speaker stopped working on the second day, and the living room TV wouldn't turn on during our last evening, which was disappointing since we had planned a movie night.Overall, we really enjoyed our stay. It's a beautiful, relaxing home, and everyone agreed we'd gladly return. I would definitely recommend this property.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this beautiful property in Dahlonega! The two-bedroom home was perfect—thoughtfully designed with a chef’s kitchen, a relaxing hot tub, and a cozy fire pit that made our weekend extra special.The host, Matt, was incredibly responsive and helpful throughout our stay. I also have to give a huge shout-out to the housekeeper, Crystal—she truly deserves a bonus or a raise. I have stayed in many rentals, and none have ever been presented as clean and organized as this one. The level of cleanliness was exceptional.The coffee station was such a sweet and thoughtful surprise and really made my mornings! We enjoyed everything about our weekend here and cannot wait to return again soon. Highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a relaxing and top-notch getaway in Dahlonega!

6/10 Okay

I have mixed feelings about this house. It is a super clean, modern, new home in a great location! But they overlooked a few things when building it. Here’s my pros and cons:Pros:-easy to find! Even at night…they have a sign off the road leading into the long driveway. Would be impossible to locate otherwise. -very private. You feel like you’re in the middle of the woods. You can see/hear the neighbor but I liked that because I felt less secluded :-). (City girl here!)-the house is SO cute! Like, really cute! Super modern, great fixtures, well appointed. -love the outside balcony w TV. Our family of 4 spent a lot of time out there -the coffee station is a nice bonus - cute and useful!-the fire pit is great although we never go around to using it. It’s really cozy and relaxing looking -the beds/bedding are great! We slept like babies!-check out requirements are super lenient compared to many other properties. They only ask that you load up the dishwasher and start it. Super easy and fair. I hate when I have to pay a high cleaning fee and then feel like I’m doing half the work. Not the case here. CONs:-while the living room, kitchen are roomy and very well appointed, the bedrooms are quite small. There are no closets and no where to lay out luggage without it being in the way. This seemed like an oversight to us. Who builds a house with no closets?-the house has no washer and dryer. This is listed but on the site but I didnt notice until we got the

We absolutely loved our stay at porter retreat home! The house was so clean and we loved everything about the house. It was less than 10 min to Dukes falls which was breath taking and the outdoor patio with the tv sitting area we took advantage of. It was the reset we were looking for!
