Fantastic stay at Red Tail Retreat! The mountain views from the screened back deck are incredibly serene, and we loved watching all the deer and birds. We had the (HUGE) neighborhood pool almost exclusively to ourselves. It’s exceptionally kid-friendly with almost everything you could need already provided. They allowed us to bring our dog, who seemed to need the reprieve from the bustle of the city as much as we did. Plus, the host was super responsive and attentive throughout our entire trip. Highly recommend!

We're thrilled you enjoyed the peaceful mountain views, screened porch, and all the wildlife that makes regular appearances around the cabin. It sounds like the neighborhood pool was a big hit too! We work hard to make Red Tail Retreat both family-friendly and relaxing, so we're glad it provided the perfect escape from city life. We truly appreciate your kind words about our responsiveness and would love to host your family again on a future trip to the North Georgia mountains. 🪶❤️

We had a wonderful stay here! I booked it at midnight the night before while we were at another cabin with family and we wanted to extend our stay in the area. I received instant booking confirmation and when I woke up the information on the house was waiting for me. Easy to get to, easy to get in the gate. House was clean and had everything we needed, with extra touches my kids loved! We enjoyed the peaceful mornings and watching all the wildlife walking around us including deer, turkeys, and a Mama Bear with her two cubs. My kids enjoyed walking down the basketball court, and the hiking trails around the lakes. We can’t wait to come back in the Fall!

Host responds well and essentials available. Pans are not non srick so you may want to being your own. Outdoor up keep could have been better. Front porch area was filthy so grill was not used nor fire pit. Could have used a good sweeping and dusty to eliminate layer of dust and many spider webs. We left back porch cleaner than received with dead insects and spider webs all near tables windows and hot tub. Hot tub was not clean either as soon as jets turned on you can see the water was not clear. Pinball machine has not worked in ages this should be removed from listing. Construction next door did not make for a peaceful Saturday morning. (SEP 26) Things from previous renters were found under beds and couches. Sheets dirty with drool on pillowcases but host felt it was OK to say extra sheets in closet. Wow!Cute decor and things for the kids to play with. Many previous rental experiences, not mu favorit. A for communication response but C on clean appearance. Host should of made us aware of Saturday morning construction.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry that several aspects of your stay fell short of expectations. While I’m certainly not saying there weren’t spider webs or debris on the porches, the owners had actually been at the cabin just days before your arrival replacing the screened porch panels and cleaning up the covered porch area. Our cleaning team also tends to the outdoor spaces between guests, but being in the mountains, spiders, insects, pollen, and dirt can unfortunately return very quickly. I’m also sorry I didn’t offer to have the cleaners come out and change the linens. We weren’t contacted about these concerns until the last day of your stay, otherwise we would have gladly addressed them during your visit. We have since spoken with our cleaning company regarding your feedback. We had been hoping to repair the vintage pinball machine, but unfortunately sourcing the necessary repairs proved unsuccessful. The owners have since removed it and replaced it with Golden Tee and Ms. Pac-Man arcade games. We were also unaware that construction had begun next door until your stay. Now that we know, we’ll be communicating that with future guests and providing sound machines and earplugs to help minimize any disruption. We appreciate you sharing your experience and giving us the opportunity to make improvements. 🪶❤️
