During your stay some vehicles may drive through as well as minimal pedestrian traffic. Gps sometimes takes you on a detour especially when using Waze. When you turn on Lewis Grindle, the road will turn into a bumpy gravel road. You will continue straight until you see our sign and a concrete driveway on the right. Gps sometimes tries to have you turn on Lunceford Circle before our driveway, this is incorrect and will send you to other side of our property.

Lewis Grindle is the road that leads to our property. It is a private road and usually in disrepair. We try our hardest to keep it smooth, but it is a rough ride. 3 other vacation rentals, delivery trucks, mail service and residents use the road daily without any issues. We do not recommend low vehicles.

Everything was just perfect! The home sits beautifully next to the lake, serene views, clean property, and the hot tub was lovely ! The host is very nice and responsive, just wonderful.
The host was very quick to respond to any questions I had. The house was in a beautiful location and was equipped with everything we needed. We truly enjoyed our stay.
The Chalet had everything we ever needed from the ready to go hot tub, fully stocked kitchen, to all of the outdoor activities. Family had a great Winter Vacation and can't wait to go back again.
Lisa is an exceptional host. She went above and beyond! Her constant communication with us was much appreciated during the winter storm. The cabin is spectacular and equipped with every amenity you would need. This is a fantastic retreat for any occasion and I would highly recommend it.
We loved our pre-Christmas get away to Dahlonega. Our family enjoyed some time in the hot tub, some fishing in the river, a sitting by the fire pit, and just relaxing. We spent our days in town and our nights playing games and doing puzzles. One night we even had a visit from a very friendly little deer. It was a great way to unwind before the 25th.
We stayed at this chalet last night and it was absolutely perfect. Sitting right on the Chestatee River, the setting is incredibly peaceful and relaxing. The chalet was clean, cozy, and thoughtfully set up, with everything we needed for a comfortable stay.Waking up to the river views was a highlight, and the outdoor space made it easy to unwind and enjoy nature without feeling far from town. It’s the ideal balance of seclusion and convenience, especially for a getaway in Dahlonega.We couldn’t have asked for a better stay and would absolutely return. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a quiet, scenic retreat.
All of the above!! What a beautiful, serene place to rest and relax. Location is convenient to anything you might need as well! Lisa is a great hostess !!! Can’t wait to go back!!
Enjoyed our stay. Will be back later this year for a longer visit. we really enjoyed the lake.
