Frog Call was a delightful home away from home on our recent trip to Dahlonega! The cabin was spacious and accommodating, and the screened porch was a perfect place for coffee and most of our meals. We enjoyed feeding the fish in the picturesque pond, walking on the trails to the treehouse and bunkhouse, and visiting the wineries, all of which were an easy 10-20 minute drive away. Jimmie was invaluable and recommended restaurants we thoroughly enjoyed, including Wolf Mountain and our favorite, Montaluce.

Bucket list level properties are few and far between but Frog call easily qualifies and then some. The house is quirky and unique. The property itself was WAY more than we expected with the beautiful views, private lake stocked with trout, fire pit, bunk house, tree house, extensive screened back porch, and more. This is less a rental and more a home. Falling asleep and waking up to the sounds of the waterfall, birds, and the many wind chimes was absolutely magical. The only thing better than the property itself is the host. Jimmie went far above and beyond to make our stay perfect! Book this place! Your soul will thank you.

Best rental ever

We absolutely loved our stay. The cabin is full of small details to have all the comforts of home and the hosts are incredibly thoughtful and welcoming. The best part is that the property is so expansive that my two large breed dogs were able to wander off leash safely for our entire stay. Seriously, it was like doggy Disneyland for them. We will definitely be back.

Frog Call was beyond our expectations and possibly our favorite rental ever. The property itself has so much to offer and the owners are so kind and generous with info and input about the surrounding area. Gorgeous views, nature like you rarely get to enjoy it, nearby tubing and kayaking, panning for gold and gems, mine tours and historic, quaintlovely downtown area. We came to swim with otters at the North Georgia Safari Park. We got to enjoy that amazing experience and so much more to make a memorable trip for our daughter's birthday which has us longing to return to Dahlonega and especially to Frog Call!
A dog-friendly property was such a blessing!
Unwind, unplug and enjoy the ones you are with! ♡
Creeks running throughout with history attached [think stills and panning for gold!]

This was our 3rd trip to Frog Call, and it was wonderful as always! We love the beautiful property - the fish pond, the field, the woods with hiking trails and creeks. It is perfection! The cabin is very cozy too, with an incredible Master Bath! Our dog and children had a blast as well.

The Frog Call might be our favorite VRBO that we've ever stayed at! This place is so beautiful and peaceful, I recommend you stop reading now and book it before someone else does. We had so much fun swimming in the lake with our elderly pup and exploring the property. The treehouse is awesome. Oh and the master bed was so comfortable.

September Get Away

We truly enjoyed our stay! The house is very conveniently located near Dahlonega and a short drive from the nearby vineyards. We enjoyed the privacy this property offers, the walking trails, creek and small stocked fish pond. It was still a bit warm early in our stay so we didn’t have a chance to stay in the bunk house or tree house, but the offer a great chance to glamp out in the woods. The porch is large and we spent a lot of time relaxing out there while enjoying the fresh air. The owner is very nice and communicated often to make sure we had everything we need. We’d give our stay a big thumbs up!!

What an amazing vacation!! We had the opportunity to stay in the heart of nature! The house was so cozy, especially the beds, and equipped with everything! Jimmie could not have been more welcoming and accommodating! The property has wonderful trails, a beautiful bunkhouse, and a fairytale style treehouse! We were able to feed the fish daily as well as throw a line in for catch and release! Evenings were highlighted by fireflies! A firepit allowed for s'mores and family time. Even the rain was gorgeous as it gently toppled down from the canopies of trees! We are very thankful for our time at Frog Call!
