This little gem provided everything I needed. It delivered everything promised and then some. The Host responded to any questions and inquiries super quick. I didnt used the hot tub, but thought it was a nice setup. Very clean ! The Internet speed was crazy fast. The 3 TVs are set up so you can use your own streaming account which is disabled after your checkout time.The guest book and photo board was an extra special touch. THANK YOU!

Great location and very welcoming host!

It was a last-minute reservation for July 4th, and we were amazed by the quiet location. The host truly puts in significant effort and exceeded our expectations by far. Even though I am a global business traveler and stay in great hotels, I have to admit that I had the best and softest towels at this house! Well equipped and superb comfort. Definitely, a long-term stay is possible!

Quaint home with wooded back area.

Cute place with huge back woodsy area. It was close to town and clean overall. We did find a couple of large bugs inside, but it is the south. The only negative I could say is the hot tub water needed to be changed. The host communicated andchecked in. Cute fall ecor. checked in. It seemed to be well

Cute Home close to Taccoa Falls College

This was the perfect location for us to visit our grandson at Taccoa Falls College. It was only 8 min away. We grilled on the gas grill and enjoyed sitting out on the deck. This home also has a fire pit and hot tub which we did not have time to use. The home is small but it was the perfect size for us.

Enjoyable Stay

My husband and I stayed here along with our dog. The size was just right for us and the location served as a perfect staging ground for day trips to Northern Georgia hikes, kayaking on the Broad River, and checking out Athens. The neighborhood was quiet and just a few minutes from groceries, restaurants, and Toccoa’s downtown area. The house was very cute. The deck and backyard were nice and peaceful though we spent most of our time adventuring.The beds initially felt very firm, but were a memory foam material so they provided support without being hard and uncomfortable. They weren’t hard or too soft. We slept very well in them.
