Patti, we enjoyed hosting you and your husband and are happy you had a relaxing getaway. We look forward to hosting your daughter for her ladies' reading trip!
Overall this was a nice stay. Communication with the host was smooth and very friendly. Cabin was affordable, very clean, and quiet. A lot of small touches added, which we appreciated. However, I did choose to give this rental 4 stars due to all the steps required before using the hot tub and the quality of the hot tub. I have rented in several locations over the years and never have I had to go through so many chemical steps as a guest to use the hot tub. After waiting almost 2 hours for the chemicals to be on point and time you must wait between each round of steps, it almost wasn't worth the effort because the jets are very weak and this took away from time relaxing. Other than the issues with the hot tub and the numerous personal family photos which takes away from the overall vacation escape feel, the cabin is in great condition.

We're happy you enjoyed your stay at Granddaddy's Cabin. Our very reasonable prices reflect self service with respect to hot tub start up, which we've found most people prefer. However, we do offer hot tub preparation and heat up for an additional fee.
This by far was the cleanest, most equipped for a comfortable stay. Granddaddys Cabin was the best we have ever stayed at. The hot tub was perfect. This home was dedicated to Granddad with all of the family pictures and personal items to make you feel that you are spending time at a family or friends house. We will be traveling back to the area for future business and we hope the cabin will be available for our next stay. Thank you to the gracious hosts for doing such a wonderful job.

About the host
Hosted by Randy and Bonnie Rich
We live on Lake Lanier in Gainesville, Georgia. Our kids are in college, so we like to divide our time among the lake, the mountains, and the beach. We've had a vacation rental on St. Simons Island since 2017 and really love sharing our homes with other families.
This is our personal vacation home, inherited from my Dad (our children’s “Granddaddy”). We love and cherish the cabin and strive to take good care of it the way he did. We had the shadow box coffee table custom made to fit the drawing board, which he had set up on the kitchen table. We kept it just like he had it with all of his tools laid out, and set it down into the shadow box. Daddy was a young 76 when COVID stole him from us. He still did consulting engineering work from his kitchen table, rode a Harley and drove his Jeep on these beautiful mountain roads, and did all of his own maintenance on everything he owned. He and I hung and placed all the family photos, which is why I chose to leave them when we started sharing his cabin on the vacation rental market. I added the photos of him and his firehouse as a young Dad after his passing. These were taken when I was a newborn. We hope you enjoy your stay here in our peaceful place.
Love, Bonnie
Why they chose this property
We love all the hiking, river activities, wineries, and unique, privately owned shops and restaurants that the Blue Ridge and Appalachian Mountains have to offer. We think our cabin and the little private gravel road it sits on look like they are right out of a storybook. The other two cabins on our road are also recently remodeled; one is a retired couple's mountain vacation home, and the other is the retirement home of a veteran. We have a wonderful community here!
What makes this property unique
Granddaddy's Cabin is warm and rustic and recently completely renovated, so it also has all the comforts of a modern home. We are very fortunate in that we have fast fiberoptic cable, so we can stream TV and work remotely via Zoom when we need to. This is rare in the area.
