About this property
LoneBear Cottage1 Historic Dahlonega & Wineries!
This clean, modern cottage rests in quiet seclusion between historic Dahlonega and Cleveland. Only 12 miles from GA 400, the location is central to everything you’ll want to do and see. It’s located minutes from 10 local wineries, multiple wedding venues and other family activities. Large windows and glass doors provide lots of natural light that brings the outdoors in, all while providing you the latest conveniences and comfort with modern furniture and appliances. Master bedroom contains king size bed and private bathroom. Guest bedroom contains queen size bed and access to full bathroom. Air mattress is provided to accommodate children or two extra guests. Enjoy a fire inside using the gas fireplace or outside at the private fire pit, and we’ll provide the wood! Relax on the back deck with the gas grill or watch wildlife from the comfort of the front porch rocking chairs. Coffee bar and fully equipped kitchen provides all you need if you want to cook. This cottage shares a 5 acre wooded lot with a comparable cottage called LoneBear Cottage #2. Rent one cottage or both for large family gatherings!

About the host
Hosted by Joy Helms
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.
