About this property

Dahlonega Chalet on the Chestatee River. Very private and family friendly.

Chalet located directly on the Chestatee River. Located within 6 miles of downtown Dahlonega and 18 miles from Helen Georgia, which offer various dining and entertaining options. Within a few miles of local wineries, vineyards, breweries and wedding venues. Nearby activities include hiking, water sports, fishing, horseback riding, golf, mountain biking, gold prospecting, local zoos, Vogel State Park, Blood Mountain and much more. Exterior security cameras for your safety. The property will be decorated for the holidays.

Never lose power. The whole property is powered by a Generac generator.

This is not an event facility. Use of property for weddings, showers, receptions, parties or any event consisting of additional guests is strictly prohibited unless prior approval is given. No more than 6 adults and 5 children permitted, strictly enforced. Unless late check out is approved, there will be a $20 charge for every 15 minutes past the check out time.

Parking pad accommodates 4 vehicles, no additional vehicles allowed and no parking on the grass. The driveway is actually a road. It cannot be blocked. 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.

Lumpkin County allows shooting of firearms during daytime and night time hours. From time to time shooting can be heard from our property. Shooting firearms for any use other than self defense is prohibited at 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.

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.

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.

Lisa was beyond kind, helpful and prompt with replies to the few questions we had. She offered info beyond the advertised items, like the falls just down the road. My family was so pleased with everything. They were amazed at the home and the grounds. We all had a great time together enjoying the fire pit and the wall of windows overlooking the slow moving river. An all around great experience !!
