Beautiful home. Very rough terrain to get there and you have to follow regular GPS as Waze will take you the wrong way and end by a creek. The upstairs beds were not comfortable
This place with perfect for our family getaway. The house was clean and spacious. Views from the porch were incredible. The guys loved that they could fish by the house. We would stay again.
Plenty of space for our family of 5. Wonderful view and nature to explore! Hope to return.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, listing accuracy
Disliked: Communication
The house was beautiful and as described. Definitely recommend suv or truck to get to it. The driveway is long and uneven which was not an issue. The only issue we had was the fruit flies in the house were terrible. There were traps but did not help.

Response from VrboOwner on 21 October 2025
From the owner: "I’m so glad you enjoyed the home and found it as beautiful as described. I’m sorry about the fruit flies you experienced during your stay. I checked immediately after your departure, and the issue had already cleared up. It appears to have been an isolated situation, but I’ll continue to monitor closely to ensure the home stays fresh and comfortable for all future guests. Thank you again for your feedback, and I hope to welcome you back soon."
This stay was wonderful and exactly what we wanted for our family time. The rooms were perfect. The road is exactly as described but not hard to navigate at all. We would love to come again in the summer to swim and play also.
The house is beautiful and the location is incredibly private and remote but surprisingly close to a major highway! The house has beds, comfortable seating in living room, wonderful screened porch with a beautiful view of the river, and very nice kitchen. We enjoyed the fire pit which is only a few yards from the river’s edge. The nearby town of Dahlonega is extremely charming. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
We had a wonderful stay here! Wish we would’ve had more time to enjoy the house. But we did enjoy the fire pit with smores one night and it was so peaceful drinking coffee in the porch with the beautiful view of the river!
It is a little ways off of main road, but we were well aware and all the info we were sent was accurate and helpful!
The house was clean and comfortable for the most part. The window sills were dirty when opened so could not leave them open. Kitchen is minimally stocked. The road description was 100% accurate. The house is on the river but access is not easy. There are stairs part of the way but then you have to use a rope to pull yourself back up the hill. The outside needs maintenance and attention to the porch / decks. Overall we had a nice time.
Our family spent the weekend at this property in order to attend an event in Dahlonega. The home was lovely and had everything we needed for the weekend, including 2 coffee pots. :) The men in our family enjoyed the river location. The house is spacious and the beds were comfy.The host described the driveway correctly. We appreciated the heads up about driving a SUV.Thanks for a wonderful stay!
The house is beautiful, well maintained and was perfect for a secluded family getaway for our family. Owner was very responsive when we had an issue getting in and helped us get my parents in as they were the first to arrive. The location and secluded feel was just what we were looking for with our trip. Follow the recommendations of SUV or truck to access the property. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would consider rebooking for the future.
We thoroughly enjoyed the coziness of this property! The kitchen was absolutely beautiful and great for gathering! We could not have found a better place. The only thing we were a bit surprised about was the narrow and dangerous road to the house but it was well worth it once we got to the house!
Hideaway in the mountains without giving up modern comforts!
This property is great if you want lots of comfortable space off the beaten path without giving up modern comforts. Heed the warning in the listing about the road leading to the property, but rest assured you'll be happy with the home and its amenities once you arrive.
The house was beautiful and had lots of wonderful features. Everyone fought over the master shower, it is that amazing! From the gas stove, to the covered deck, to the fire pit, everything was great. We had a wonderful time and hope to rent this property again in the future.
This house was spacious and lots of upgrades. Our family with 4 teenagers had plenty of room. I would definitely stay here again. Road was not as bad as others made it out to be. it rained the whole weekend and we never had trouble getting in or out. Loved it
