The cabin was terrific! Immaculately clean, nicely updated, all types of amenities, including hair dryer, make-up mirror (game changer in my opinion), nice shampoo/body wash, coffee pods, sugar AND some creamer in the fridge. It was just very clean and really thoughtful. Met the owner Bruce who was so pleasant and helpful! Little town of Dahlonega was super charming with really friendly folks. We will be back!

This was the easiest 5 star review I have ever given. The host was welcoming and made himself available for anything we might need. But we really didn't need anything because the property was so well maintained and had everything we needed. Will definitely be a repeat visitor!
