About this property

100 Year Old Cabin on the Chestatee River, wineries, tubing, fishing and more

This unique 100 year old log cabin sits next to the banks of the Chestatee River. Perfect for fishing, tubing or just sitting on the riverside platform having your morning cup of coffee of set at sundown with a glass of wine. Whatever your pleasure, we want you to relax and in this new time we live in, cleanliness is or number 1 priority. We sterilize everything and “ozonate every room after each stay to assure that there isn’t anything you wouldn’t want to take home with you left behind. 3 bedrooms and a master suite. 2 full baths. All stone and log construction. Large kitchen with a fireplace, large living room with a fireplace, game room, reading area and a solarium. All the rooms have a view of the Chestatee River. The cabin was previously owned by writer Hugh Wilson which wrote such great movies as "Police Academy", "First Wives Club", and the TV series "WKRP in Cincinnati" The Cabin is within minutes of some of the best wineries in the world and also just down the road from "The Dahlonega Square" with a bunch of great shops where you can shop til you drop or where you can pan for gold or visit the historic gold museum. Bet you didn’t know that Dahlonega was the 1st place GOLD was discovered in the United States. Come have a memorable stay. Now let me answer 2 of the most asked questions that we answer. The most popular question is 1: how much of the Lodge do we get?..answer All 4500 Sq Ft. No one lives in the Lodge while your there. 2: do you have cameras in the Lodge?…No, your privacy besides the cleanliness is most important.
If you have any additional questions please send them and we are excited your coming to the Lodge on the river.

Thanksgiving Blessings
This was the best cabin. I took my mother, aunt , uncle and cousin. We were able to just enjoy each other. The hosts Tim and Leigh O'Brien were very gracious! They had fresh baked pumpkin bread waiting on us when we arrived. The history of this cabin and the peaceful ambience were everything I hoped for. We will definitely be back. And soon!

Quiet relaxing log cabin on the river
A very interesting and distinctive property. Close to downtown Dahlonega but in a very quiet and relaxing location. Large log cabin with both big spaces for getting together for meals and small spaces for a place to read or play games. Several spots to sit outside and quietly enjoy the scenery along the river side. We were there for four nights to attend a family member’s wedding held locally. We were able to make several side trips for shopping, hiking, and dining out. The hosts were great. Helpful and available when needed but otherwise left us to enjoy our visit. Very happy with our stay.

Stay Here- you wont be disappointed!!
I don't leave alot of reviews, but when something is as good as this cabin was, then it is deserving of a review. Not only was the cabin amazing, but the owners Tim and Leigh were amazing. More on them in a little bit, but first for the cabin. The pictures do not do this cabin justice. It is more beautiful in person, even though the pictures make it look great...wait until you see it. Stepping into this cabin is like stepping back in time 100 years ago with all of the modern luxuries and amenities you would want. Everything was clean and the entire cabin smelled like fall and apple spice. It was perfect. My wife is a decaf coffee kind of girl and they even had Decaf Keurig cups. Every detail was thought of and addressed. When we arrived we were met by Tim who gave us a quick tour and overview of the cabin. We were then greeted by a delicious loaf of pumpkin bread that was baked fresh by his lovely wife Leigh. And it was absolutely delicious! The location is beautiful and there were so many peaceful places to enjoy a cup of coffee or hot chocolate on a crisp November morning while listening to the river down below. This cabin really is beautiful and if you are looking for a relaxing oasis then look no further. Time and Leigh treat you like family. Leigh even made my wife a dairy free version of her pumpkin bread for my wife since she cant have dairy. They are the nicest people and make sure you are taken care of. We will definitely be back.

Serene spot
This a beautiful cabin inside and out. The pictures do not do it justice. The property is beautiful and perfect for enjoying your morning coffee by the river. Very clean and well stocked. The owners are quick to reply to any questions and very helpful. We would absolutely stay here again if we have the chance.
