About this property

Tuscan Villa: Sauna ColdPlunge BrideSalon Fireplace Firepit DahlonegaWine

Lumpkin County (Dahlonega) business license #3958 short term rental #001. Dahlonega / Dawsonville : Unplug and unwind in the North Georgia mountains in a Tuscan Villa located in the historic Auraria community of Lumpkin County. Lots of quartz rock in this house, quarried off the surrounding land, which was once a booming gold mining district in the 1800s. Located just up the hill from the Etowah Tunnel, known to many kayak & canoe enthusiasts as the 1/4-mile-long abandoned mining tunnel bored to divert the river to mine gold from the river bottom. Situated between Dawsonville & Dahlonega. This house is perfect for family gatherings for birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, reunions, retreats and life. Just right for chilling out with the subtle sounds of the nearby Etowah River.

This is a phenomenal property! Host greeted us on arrival and showed us around. The house was spotless and there were some thoughtful personalized welcome messages throughout the house. The upstairs was great for getting ready together for our outings. The beds were comfortable and we had plenty of towels and blankets. We will definitely stay here again!

Off the grid on the glamp

We had a great time, in a beautiful "cabin" hilly and woodsy views about a kilometer from the river. The host went out of his way to put up the Christmas tree early per my request and it was beautiful! I hope we get to stay here again. Merry Christmas!

The house is beautiful and spacious. It easily accommodated our party of 8. We were visiting for an event at Iron Mountain Park. The house was 20 mins from venue and downtown Dahlonega, GA. Will stay again if we visit the area.

Beautiful home!

I had a fairly large group doing an off road motorcycld trip and this was one of the few places that could accommodate for one night. What a fantastic place! Special touches and welcome to the property was superb, house was clean, and had everything we needed. Greeted at the house and given a tour to show us around as well.

Family accommodations for a Dahlonega Wedding

Love this place. Very well appointed and clean. Every detail was thought out about this place. This is a huge convenience and we appreciated being able to drop in and relax. Our whole family enjoyed the privacy of the rooms/bathrooms and the central gathering spaces to visit with coffee in hand for the morning, or gathering around the living room for the evening. Thank you James for all you did to make our weekend a memorable one.

Exceeded Our Expectations!

This house has everything for a relaxing, comfortable stay! It is clean, comfortable and updated, yet has a rustic, timeless charm. The pictures don't do it justice. Of course, we were there when the leaves were changing and a there was a crispness in the air, which just elevated the comfort and charm. This is a perfect house for a large family or a gathering of friends....beds for everyone, updated bathrooms, large kitchen for cooking, etc. James was a wonderful host who greeted us upon arrival. We can't wait to come back!

Perfect mountain getaway close to Dahlonega & Hwy 400

This was a perfect cabin for our group of 9. It is furnished better than many others. The hosts were quick to respond, informative, and very thorough while making sure everything was ready for us. The cabin is a quick drive to wineries as well as Dahlonega & Dawsonville's shopping and restaurants. We had a wonderful stay and plan to visit again. Thank you James for all of your help in planning a great ladies' getaway.

About the host

Host profile image

Why they chose this property

We liked this house because of its natural and unique style; a Verner original that seemed to have roots. It is made for family and reconnecting with nature. Verner was a unique man, the Old Buzzard, who had no fear of hard work. His famous grandson learned his craft of woodworking from the influence of this grandfather. We picked up where he left off to transform The Buzzard's Roost into Off The Grid Lodge to continue a unique experience for generations to enjoy; for you to enjoy.

What makes this property unique

The property is located close to many attractions in the North Georgia Mountains, yet private and secluded enough to feel you are truly Off The Grid.
