What a beautiful, spacious cottage! We loved the warm fireplace and comfortable king size bed. We didn’t use the kitchen but it was large and exceptionally clean. The entire space was very clean and comfortable, and it was a very easy drive into Dahlonega to enjoy all the Christmas lights and festivities. We can’t wait to come back!

Beautiful property, very comfortable, exceptionally clean. Exactly as advertised, plus some. We enjoyed the extra little touches throughout the cottage, such as the welcome sign and the notebook of menus from local restaurants. Plus the owners are truly nice people and very responsive. Will definitely consider again next time we're in Dahlonega.

Loved our stay!

What a great property! It was so clean, comfortable and quiet (other than an occasional rooster crowing - but it didn't bother us at all). We loved this property so much that we ended up renting it again the following weekend. We look forward to staying again when we return to Dahlonega.

Charming cabin!

My husband and I stayed in this adorable cabin over the weekend for a wedding in Cleveland. The cabin was perfect for us! It was clean, carefully appointed, nestled in the woods, and was close to both Cleveland and Dahlonega. We would definitely stay again and bring our children.

About the host

Hosted by Joy Helms

Host profile image
My husband, Bill and I have been in Dahlonega for over 22 years. We have 4 adult children, all married with wonderful spouses, and we have 5 grandchildren and another one on the way. My husband and I both continue to work and enjoy traveling when we get the time, gardening, concerts and projects around our house!

Why they chose this property

Bill and I looked for several years before we landed on this perfect property. We decided to build 2 cottages, but with enough distance between them to ensure privacy for both cottages. The location is convenient to many attractions in our area but very private.

What makes this property unique

This area is quiet and peaceful - perfect for a weekend get-a-way or a week trip to the mountains. We included everything that we enjoy in our own home - a back deck to sit and enjoy the early mornings or late evenings, a fire pit for those brisk, fall nights and a nice fire place when you don't want to get outdoors.

There are many family activities in this area as well. Here are a few -
Appalachian Outfitters Dahlonega (canoegeorgia.com) canoeing, tubing and kayaking. (8.9 mi)
North GA Petting Zoo - Cleveland, GA (3.7 mi)
Babyland General (Cabbage Patch Dolls) Cleveland, GA (8.9 mi)
Chestatee Wildlife Preserve Zoo, Dahlonega, GA (9.2 mi)
Gold Museum - Dahlonega, GA (8.9 mi)
Gold panning (kids love this!) Crisson Gold Mine (8.4 mi) and Consolidated Gold Mine (8.6 mi) - both in Dahlonega.
