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.

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.

What a wonderful long weekend summer vacation! Check in was easy, the house was fully stocked for all of our needs, wi-fi worked great and the location was gorgeous! We especially loved taking the kayaks out down to where the water was running, swimming and attempting to fish (though we had no luck) We also truly loved the short hike to the neighorhood waterfall where we enjoying swimming and splashing and fishing and relaxing! Proximity to downtown Dahlonega as well as Helen was perfect! Would love to stay again!I will say the gravel road before the paved driveway was a little bumpy and the properties leading up to the house made us wonder if we were in the right place but we kept on going and enjoyed every second of our stay!

Front of property (not shown in photos) looked very unimpressive and was on a gravel alley with no view whatsoever. Unfortunately this is where the location of the hot tub was chosen, so we didn’t even consider using it. Soon after arrival a fire alarm began beeping until we removed it from the ceiling. The furnishings were ok but not what we expected for this nightly rate, particularly the upstairs bedroom which was sparse and plain. Later that night we were awakened by an alarm from the oven which we had to fix the next morning after some internet research. The towels and washcloths were stained and scratchy. Fortunately the location was only 20 min from wineries and downtown Dahlonega, or this trip would have been a complete bust. We won’t be returning.

Home away from home

The most attentive and proactive host. Before and during our stay Lisa was the ultimate host who addresses our every question and need. We were celebrating my to mother's 86th with a small group of extended family and I wanted something memorable and today property delivered. Everyone felt at home and we enjoyed the privacy anger hospitality.From our expensive view of the Chestatee we enjoyed the rain, the bald eagle sighting, and the dozen wild turkey feeding one early morning.If only every rental experience and host meet expectations like Lisa did for us - thank you!

Beautiful home on the river

We enjoyed our stay! The home is very clean and just a short drive to Dahlonega which is so festive this time of year. It is a beautiful home and very private. The hot tub was great. The homeowner was quick to answer any questions we had. We will definitely consider staying there again when in Dahlonega.

Super sweet quiet family location

Lisa was so kind to share this wonderful place with us. She went above and beyond in her suggestions and communication. We went with a bunch of young kids and she gave us some great recommendations that were personal, and her place was a great fit for our family. She was understanding about any of the concerns or issues we faced, and was very quick to respond. If you want a quiet secluded place, this is for you!

Charming, modern, and clean

We loved our stay here. The home is very clean and comfortable. We were pleasantly surprised to arrive and find it tastefully decorated for the holidays--Christmas tree included. We enjoyed the beautiful view and the hot tub. The owner was very helpful in sending us information in a timely manner. We would find it a pleasure to stay here again.

Riverside Paradise

My family had a wonderful time playing in the river, canoeing, and sitting by the campfire. We also brought a standup paddle board which was perfect for the speed of the river. The home layout is ideal for adults and kids, and we found everything we needed for our stay. We will definitely be back again.

Cozy little cabin

The cabin was just as described, it was very clean and cozy! We took a last minute family getaway before the school year starts and made some great memories! I couldn’t have gotten the kids away from the river if I wanted to and getting them away from electronics these days is no easy feat. The owners reached out with some additional info about the property that really made our short stay memorable, I would recommend this location to anyone!

Gorgeous house and property with amazing host!

The house was beautiful, very clean and came with all the amenities of home! Our kids loved canoeing on the river, swinging on the rope swing and s’mores at the fire pit. We enjoyed wine on the deck overlooking the river and nights in the jacuzzi. Wonderful way to get away from the stresses of life and our host was incredible. We were able to check in early as well as check out late without any hassle and we received a response minutes after every question! I can’t say enough great things about the property and host!

Beautiful Chalet

This chalet is absolutely stunning! I booked this for my wedding and it definitely did not disappoint. The home is fully stocked, Lisa has thought of everything! We used the chalet to get ready for my wedding day and even with all of the ladies getting their hair and makeup done, we had plenty of room. Everyone kept commenting on how beautiful the cabin was and how perfect it was. When the photographer and videographer arrived, they were blown away by the cabin and how well it photographed. Book this Chalet with Lisa and you will not be disappointed!!

Awesome place to stay

This property is great. We were all so pleased with the location. Secluded, quiet. So peaceful. The guys loved the fishing. The only recommendation we have is maybe have a charcoal grill on the deck. Currently the only grill is a picnic grill. We grilled steaks and this worked fine but it had been raining. If the rain had not stopped we would not have been able to grill.

Upscale

This is a beautiful, open, airy floor-plan. Great home and setting. If anyone in your group has mobility problems then this is a great, easy entry unit. We rented this unit and the one on beasley which was great as well, but was like climbing a ladder to access. Ha. You cannot go wrong with this home and will not be disappointed.

Good for small families

Pros: Nice home, good space, comfortable beds, right on the river, lots of seating, laundry access, close to wineries, easy to get to via gps Cons: Horrible issue with hornets on the deck. Kitchen oven needs a good cleaning, it smoked every time we turned it on. A lot of the pots and pans are old and chipping/ too dirty to use. The trundle bed sheets weren’t cleaned before we arrived. Not enough parking, we had 7 people stay with 5 cars. We had the unfortunate run in with the neighbor who is a piece of work, to say it in a nice way. Just beware.

Comfortable & Lovely

Our family truly enjoyed this lovely home & property. It is well appointed with some smart design features. The hosts are attentive and quick to answer questions and provide guidance. With 4 generations of family, we had some special needs / questions. The hosts answered every one of them in a timely and honest manner. We loved the open layout of the family / dining / kitchen area. We could all be in there together, without feeling cramped -- but also doing different activities -- someone is cooking while kids doing crafts at the table, and others catching a ball game.. The dog slept in the nook to the side of the couch -- out of the way, but close by. The porches are fantastic, and the wall of windows facing the porch / river brought the outside in. The main floor, wrap-around porch, and parking are all one level, which was great for the seniors. They could observe all of the family activities without all of the steps. We liked the full over full bunk beds WITH a trundle. With younger kids, this was the perfect way to give them space while also having them just outside the mater bedroom upstairs. Eveyone said that their beds were comfortable. We spent most of our 3 night stay at the house. We enjoyed sitting in various areas. Taking little hikes. Some even tried kayaking and canoeing and were proud that it was easier than expected! The jacuzzi was part of the evening ritual. We did also venture out to a nearby winery and enjoyed it.

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 !!
