Home was great for a weekend getaway. They had a dog bed, toys, and food/water bowls available on site which was so thoughtful. The cabin itself serves all intended purposes. Outdoor space was the highlight. Fire pit and covered hot tub was great!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The cabin was a wonderfully secluded vacation rental.we appreciated the fully stocked cabin, very clean, and supplies included were thoughtful. A starter of a bundle of firewood was perfect for the first chilly night. The cabin is located to many wineries, apple orchards, a short drive to Dahlonega, and Americola State Park. There was plenty of things to do within a short driving distance. The office stayed in touch and checked on us to make sure everything was going well Thank you for the wonderful hospitality. We look forward to staying here again.

Great Relaxing Stay

This property was awesome! We brought our pups and the cabin was perfect for the pups! A quiet area that was tucked away with many areas to hang out. It was hard to choose where to relax. Perfect for me, my husband, our two dogs, my mom and her dog.
