About this property

New Listing! The Porter Retreat - 35 Acres, Hot Tub, Fire Pit

Welcome to The Porter Retreat! This newly built custom home was designed specifically for guests to enjoy the mountains of Dahlonega. Nestled on the hillside of a historic property where the Porter Springs Hotel once stood, this property calls out to a new generation of travelers. Centrally located for a perfect wine country experience.

This luxe cottage is the perfect fit for a couples getaway, or a small group seeking solitude in the mountains, yet still being in the heart of "wine country" and all the mountain activities that Dahlonega has to offer. With attention to detail and the ideal indoor-outdoor living design, this home was crafted to provide the ingredients for a unique Dahlonega vacation. The vaulted ceilings in the living room, rock fireplace, natural light, and chef's kitchen with a gas range make for a perfect weekend. Step outside to enjoy the hot tub, custom fire pit, and covered porch with a tv, coming together to give you the ideal space to enjoy the great outdoors. This is the only home on a 35-acre estate, giving you plenty of room to stretch your legs and breathe in some mountain air.

The primary bedroom features a King bed and an ensuite bathroom, and the secondary bedroom provides a Queen bed with a bathroom nearby.

Awesome Stay!

We stayed for one night in this peaceful home! We enjoyed the proximity to north Georgia’s top hiking trails and the convenience to local north Georgia gems (Cleveland, Dahlonega & Suches).The hosts left clear instruction & a very clean home.
