About this property

Secluded riverfront getaway in heart of wine country 5 bdr/5 bath, below error

** THIS PROPERTY HAS 5 BEDROOMS AND 5 BATHROOMS (4 FULL BATHS AND 1 HALF BATH) **

Let the sights and sounds of the Chestatee River wash away your stress. With 5 bedrooms, 4 ½ bathrooms and a deck overlooking the river on every floor there is room here for everyone in your group to relax and have fun! You will wake up refreshed after enjoying a great night's sleep on any one of our 4 king size beds or on the full/twin bunk bed. You won’t find a better place to enjoy your morning coffee than one of the 3 decks overlooking the river. Of course, good food brings people together, and you will have no problems preparing a meal in either one of our spacious kitchens or on the Big Green Egg/or propane grill. We have ample pots, pans, sharp knives, cutting boards, silverware, and mixing bowls available to make meal prep easy and meals delicious! If cooking is not part of your plan, you are only 15 minutes from the many fantastic restaurants that surround beautiful downtown Dahlonega and are within a short drive of more than 19 wineries and vineyards in the area. You can even charter one of the many winery tours buses in the area. Looking for a bit more fun? You can float around and cool off in the river without ever having to leave the property. Or if you are looking for something a bit more adventurous you can team up with any of the many outfitters in the area to rent kayaks, go tubing, fishing, and ziplining. For the geologist in the family, you are within a short 20-minute drive of TWO gold mines in the area. After enjoying whatever adventure you choose, you can top your day off with an exciting game of ping pong, foosball, darts and or pool. Or you can just sit and relax out by the beautiful fireplace just outside the door! Nothing beats a great fire with family and friends at the end of a relaxing and fun day at the Blue Frog! Raining on your vacation? We have Dish TV with more than 160 channels, or you can get your game on with one of the many board games available. If you need to get a little work done during your stay, no problem! We have free Wi-Fi available and a large desk in the master bedroom with a river view to get that work done! There is something for everyone at the Blue Frog!
We provide tubes for floating around on in front of the house. If you wish to go tubing down the river it is highly recommended you use one of the outfitters in the area where the water is much more suitable for tubing trips, and more fun.

Hannah wedding At R Ranch

The moment we walked into the home - it was very clean and very spacious !! Angela was amazing at communicating with me about the special details of the property- I was so thankful I read her email to know about the driveway. We went for a short trip into town for groceries and this kitchen had Everything we needed and more to cook daily. The coffee bar was stocked and the seasoning cabinet!!!! I have so many memories from our stay that I’m thankful for: kids playing in the river, sitting on the top deck in the morning w coffee, my husband played hide n seek thru the house w the kids, and watching the boys on the pool table and darts. We drove a short 30 mins to Dawson outlets- for Publix and crumble cookie and lil shopping. We were there for a wedding- but it turned out to be one of my favorite memories of a river vacation. .

Fantastic Family Retreat

Had booked another VRBO that upon arrival did not meet our expectations. Looked at other options and found this one. Made contact with Angela and couldn’t have asked for more from a host! Immediately accommodating. Fast communication. A+. The property was awesome. The number of bedrooms and baths. The living areas, dining and kitchen. Clean and very well equipped. We were 5 adults and a 15 year old. Various games available. Ping pong, foosball, and pool. Fishing. This was in December. Would love to return in the summer. The River access is fantastic. I strongly recommend this home. Perfect for family or a gathering of friends.

4th of July stay

Our family vacation has been so relaxing. We have loved the house, the river, and the scenery is the best. From family breakfast to hanging out in the evening we could not have asked for a better place to make memories. The Blue Frog has hosted many laughs, children's hide and seek, and parent relaxation. Angela and Jason were the perfect hosts to a perfect trip.😊🐸

Everything was great except the walkway down to the river and the moss on the steep driveway made it very hard to get up. The house was prefect for our large group and gave the kids plenty of inside options of entertainment!

Dahlonega Six Gap Weekend

We were in town for the Six Gap bicycle race with family and friends. We enjoyed our stay and there was plenty of room for everyone to have their own space. The description was very accurate and I loved that the drawers and cabinets in the kitchen were all labeled! One suggestion would be to also label the light switches! Great house and beautiful location.

Spacious home and beautiful surroundings are both understatements

The house was enormous, plenty of comfortable private space, but with an easy and sensible place for everyone to be together. It had all needed amenities, kitchen fully supplied, beds slept comfortably, water pressure was great, and house remained warm despite very cold weather. We had a 5th couple for one night sleeping on the double bed with 1/2 bath, but that was comfortable and presented no problem. Situated right on the Chestatee River in the woods, the surroundings are absolutely beautiful and peaceful. Angela was a responsive communicator, maintained the disposition of a host rather than a proprietor/manger, and remained attentive to our needs. We would return without hesitation.

Thanksgiving

Property was well stocked in the kitchen. Could have used more bath towels in the bathrooms and the drapes seemed incomplete in giving privacy in the master bathroom. Very comfortable and plenty of room to spread out, however the bedroom on the 2nd floor going down the steps to the left had spiders, flys & mosquitos caused our 11 year old grandson to have big bites all over his arms & legs. Outside drive seemed very messy with all the pots, dead plants, & lots of outside work needs to be done.

Our stay at the “Blue Frog”

We had a fabulous weekend at the “Blue Frog” house while in Dahlonega for my granddaughter’s wedding. The wonderful house, containing 3 levels, has 5 bedrooms and sleeps 12 very comfortably. The main floor is gigantic consisting of a very large living room, a dining area for 8, a large kitchen, a comfy sitting area (2 large sofas, 2 chairs and a breakfast dining area and TV), and by the sliding doors to the porch, a ping pong table and a fooz ball table which were totally enjoyed by many. There is also a bunk bedroom and the amazing large master bedroom on this floor. The middle floor has 2 nice bedrooms and a sitting area with TV between them. The lower floor has 1 bedroom and an area with pool table and games. The house is beautifully appointed with everything you could need in the kitchen, a green egg, fishing rods for fly fishing in the river across the road, tubing gear, hammocks by the river, delightful porches to relax on, and more. The owners have thought of everything! And our family (of 20+, 50+ and an 80 year old) had a wonderful time. Just a tip: It was a challenge for some of us to find the house using “ways” because of narrow mountainous roads, but those who used “maps” had no problem.

Great house and great location

The house was big, and multi-leveled which allowed each family to have their "own space." It was perfect to gather the extended family together to attend a niece's wedding at a nearby winery. The location is secluded and has fantastic river access. We hung out in the river relaxing and it was a short drive to the wedding. Also, Angela (the host) is super friendly and easy to communicate with.

We had a baseball tournament in Dahlanega and decided to stay with a few families near by. We’re so glad we did. The kids had a great time exploring the property and the house is so large that we didn’t feel on top of each other. The hosts were kind and very responsive to our needs. Hope to visit again.

Great House for Large Groups!

I rented this property for twelve of us to spend a low-key NYE together and we could not have had a better time! The house is conveniently located near a few wineries so we were able to visit those before checking in on Friday. We planned to visit more on Saturday but were having so much fun at the house, we decided not to leave! There are plenty of games provided for entertainment and lots of space to spread out throughout the house. We also enjoyed relaxing down by the river during the day. The house had everything we needed to cook multiple meals throughout the weekend and the entire kitchen was labeled so we could easily find what we needed... absolutely brilliant! Only recommendation would be to upgrade to a slightly larger TV as it was tough for such a large group to all watch (it was the CFP Playoff game... GO DAWGS!). Would HIGHLY recommend this property for your next gathering!

Beautiful and relaxing vacation

We had our Christmas vacation with family and friends at this property and we loved every minute of it. The house is pretty and so huge that we had plenty of space for our family. The house also has a beautiful view of the river. The owner also provided us with everything we need including a Christmas tree that we requested prior to arrival. The beautiful city of Helen is also not far away for a visit. Downtown Dahlonega is also a pretty little town. Overall our family had a wonderful time spending Christmas at this property and will definitely go back during the summer so we can enjoy the river. Charlie

Thanksgiving/Wedding weekend

We rented the property for Thanksgiving in anticipation of my brother's wedding on Saturday. We stayed Wednesday through Sunday. Our family, from 4-65 yo, so enjoyed the property. Having 2 kitchens/fridges/ovens was a blessing. There is something to do for everyone. You don't need to bring a game! There is space galore, for when you want that quiet time. We enjoyed sitting out by the river or sitting on the screened porch playing checkers. The house was clean and very well equipped. We didn't find that we were wanting for anything to make our stay memorable and pleasant.

About the host

Hosted by Angela

Angela and Jason live and work locally in Lilburn, Georgia and stay in Dahlonega often and self-manage the Blue Frog for their guests. Angela was a school teacher for decades and Jason is an attorney and entrepreneur. They have three children, one about to graduate high school and two about to graduate Emory University.

Why they chose this property

We love the river and the seclusion of feeling like we are in the middle of nowhere while knowing that we are ten minutes from everything.

What makes this property unique

Privacy. Looooonnnnnggggggg river views of the Chestatee River. Three floors so you can be with your family without being on top of your family. So much to do in the house that we have guests who tell us they scrapped their plans and just stayed at the property all weekend.
