The owner provided everything needed to make the stay as problem free as possible, even down to games, an umbrella, and pans to use in panning for gold in the creek. The pond was well stocked with fish. The donkeys were always glad to greet the visitors. The house was beautiful inside.

This is the most interesting, peaceful and handsomely decorated dwelling that we’ve ever visited. We have traveled across the U.S. frequently over the course of our marriage & have been to most states, including Alaska, even staying at Denali, NP. As senior citizens, we finally found the perfect place for us. This is a place to that must be experienced in order to be fully enjoyed. Mere words could never do it justice. The interior decor perfectly reflected the personalities of the owners and their love of their environment & animals. Love lives there. Merlin recorded our first ever capture of the golden/crowned kinglet (we’ve been birding for over 40 years, so that was very special!). Katie the donkey was the first inhabitant to greet us; she is so sweet. The horses were beautiful. Canada Geese paddled about on the pond, which we could see from the deck. This is serenity and beauty at its very finest, without any stuffiness or pretense. VRBO’s review process is a little confusing bc it asked us about our “winery” experience. We did have Christmas Eve dinner at nearby Montaluce winery, which was very good. However, the absolute highlight of our trip to north Georgia was staying at the Flying Duck farm/ranch (that and seeing grandchildren, of course.). Posting this review is difficult bc we don’t want anyone else to discover the Flying Duck. We want to keep it a secret so we can visit very often, but, alas, we must not be so selfish. Well done, Brenda & Mike.

This home is close to wineries and also central enough for day trips to Helen, Babyland in Cleveland Georgia, the Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta, and Amicalola Falls. The cottage it self is very cute and clean and was equipped with all essential and extras. Full kitchen with basics needed to cook up a home cooked meal. Walmart and Publix were near by. The owners are outstanding and respond quickly to messages when needed. Rating 10/10

Loved this cute little house! Clean, plenty of space for 5, stocked with snacks and waters. The hosts were very responsive. My son got to pet the donkey and horses, which was super sweet. Bed were very comfortable, even pullout couch! We'd love to stay again! Cons: small shower, but not as small as it looks. It actually wasn't awful, good water pressure. Very slow wifi, couldn't stream. We have Google fi network, which was extremely slow, with spotty network . My mom has Verizon and it worked well in the house.

Farmhouse was so incredibly cozy and owners were super sweet! We loved all the amenities and enjoyed visiting and feeding the animals on site. Make sure you arrive in the day time because it was a little tricky at night until we realized where it was. We will definitely be back for another stay within the year!

Our second time here!

Our family came in April for a quick weekend wedding, but knew we wanted to come back in the summer to experience more in the town. We had the best time doing all things! Dahlonega is such a sweet town. We even visited the community pool in town and paid a small fee to enter, highly recommend going in the summer if you have kids! Lazy river, water slides and pool were a hit! The property once again was amazing. The house is so clean and Brenda and Mike are amazing hosts. My girls loved seeing all the animals again especially Katie & John Wayne and catching so many fish! My 10 year old daughter reeled in a 5lbs 3oz bass! The property was great to relax on. We can’t wait to come back again, our kids ask often! I highly recommend staying here if you’re looking in this area.

Excellent accommodation for nearby wedding.

The house was easy to find, very clean, decorated nicely, and had everything our family of 5 needed. We walked the horse farm property and our kids loved seeing the horses, donkey, and dogs. We enjoyed talking to the property owners and watching them ride horses before going into Dahlonega and attending our wedding 1mile away. Peaceful location and beautiful stars but close to many things to do. We would stay here again.
