Communication with the host was great. The beds and linens were very comfortable and everything we needed was provided. Listening to the river was one of the highlights. The screened in porch was a perfect area for us to have our morning coffee and breakfast. The area is quite beautiful. The drive to the property is not for the faint of heart. Very narrow road with nowhere to pull off but thankfully we navigated with no problems.

We had a great family reunion and the river and surrounding area was beautiful. Some in our group were much older so navigating the inside and outside steps and terrain was difficult for them. Overall, we had a great time and loved our stay, but this rental is more ideal for a younger crowd.

The home is beautiful and the location was wonderful. How could you not relax when you could hear the rushing river the minute you stepped outside. It was close to town.The communication with the owners was the best I’ve ever encountered. I would love to return in the future.

A nice peaceful stay with family. My favorite spot was the screened porch, which offered a bug-free place to see and hear the river. One thing I appreciated was that it offered seating for as many people as it slept, which is not always the case in some places; it has a nice long table for dining and games, and plenty of chairs around the fire pit.

Great river getaway!

Great location close to town but out far enough you feel like you are truly getting away. It sits right on the river with a 'beach' area to wade in and splash around which was fun for our whole family. Lots of outdoor entertaining areas which was important to us. The owners texted us so they were easy to reach should we have needed anything. We would definitely stay there again!

Perfect spot for girls weekend

This property was very comfortable for my mom, sister, daughter and myself. It was just a quick getaway to the mountains for a little shopping, dining and potter painting. But, we wanted somewhere "close to nature" and this was amazing. The river rushing outside the back porch is beautiful and impressive. Our hosts were very communicative and the whole exchange was easy.

House was nice, and the river in the back was very nice and peaceful. House in relation to Dahlonega was great, but road to and from the the immediate area of the house was a bit treacherous.

Perfect Fit!

This beautiful lakefront property was the ideal space for our 3 generation family of 8 to get away for a few days! Sleeping space on all 3 levels gave everyone their own space, and the spacious common living areas made for some great times! We found everything we needed from the well appointed kitchen to the beautiful outdoor space and firepit area. Would definitely stay here again!
