Squeaky clean and well stocked home. I didn’t have to bring extras (trash bags, cleaners, ziplocks) like I usually do when renting. The neighborhood was cute and well maintained. Owner did not hype up how relaxing the porch is.

We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend stay at this cabin. The cabin was beautiful, furnished and tastefully decorated, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere from the moment we arrived. Everything was clean, comfortable, very well stocked, and well maintained. The location was another highlight. It was very convenient to the concerts we attended, making travel easy and allowing us to spend more time enjoying our weekend with grandkids and other family.The grandkids enjoyed fishing right below the deck, where we could keep an eye on them.We would gladly stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable place to stay.

What a wonderful stay at the River Lily!! Patti is an amazing host and took the time to text us to make sure we had everything we needed. Our family of four stayed for a long weekend and we couldn’t have chosen a better place. We immediately felt right at home. It is even better than pictured online. This home is completely remodeled! It was immaculately clean and had comfy beds for a great nights sleep. The kitchen has everything you need to cook at home. But you are also close enough to town to go out and eat at the wonderful restaurants in Dahlonega (highly recommend Shenanigans Restaurant) We also had pizza delivered one night while we sat out at the fire pit which is next to the river. I especially enjoyed sitting out on the back deck reading a book and enjoying nature. We can’t wait to book our next stay at the River Lily when we take our next trip to Dahlonega!! Thank you Patti for sharing your beautiful home with us!!

About the host

Hosted by Patti Corl

Host profile image
I am a native of Dahlonega, but moved away after college. I live in Franklin Tennessee, with my husband Tim and we have two grown children. Dahlonega will always be my hometown, and I am excited to share our
river house with you.

Why they chose this property

The property was bought in June 2025 and renovated. We began sharing it with others in November 2025. I chose this property because it’s a beautiful wooded lot, on a scenic river, that we can fish in and actually access, in addition to enjoying the river view.

What makes this property unique

It truly is a cute, cozy cottage with river frontage, access into the river, huge trees, and privacy.
