We enjoyed several aspects of our stay. The view was beautiful, the location was peaceful, and the hot tub was a nice bonus—especially in the winter. There’s also a small, lesser-known trail just below the house that truly made the weekend for us and added a lot of value to the experience, especially since we arrived with our dogs. The home was clean upon arrival, and we appreciated the holiday décor that was left up for New Year’s—it was a thoughtful touch.That said, for the price point, there were a few areas where the experience fell short. Some kitchen items were worn (cookie sheets were scratched and rusty, many dishes were chipped), and the kitchen itself felt disorganized. The coffee station was set up but didn’t include any coffee pods, which felt like a small missed opportunity for hospitality.We also had trouble with the TV and remotes, which took time to troubleshoot during our stay.Overall, the property has a lot of potential and a lovely setting, but for the cost, we expected a bit more attention to detail and upkeep compared to other nearby options.
Nice decor for the New Year

Beautiful cabin with excellent views

Very well designed cabin with beautiful views in a gorgeous neighborhood. Owners took lots of effort to decorate for the Christmas Holiday and had many other decorative touches that made it feel very relaxing. We visit the area often and this cabin by far was the most comfortable and convenient to all the usual spots we visit in North Georgia.

restful get away

We loved the mountain view from the cabin. Being in a gated area with very little traffic was very peaceful. The cabin was very clean and had everything we needed. When getting the wood burning fireplace ready, we couldn't find the metal bucket to put the ashes. Within minutes of calling , a new bucket arrived. We were very impressed by attention to service. Having a nice place to stay with our fur babies was so nice. Next time I would prefer driving our car. The F250 sits high and my husband had no issues seeing over the front. I'm short and when going up hill I couldn't see the road. Overall we both enjoyed the trip. My husband pointed out several deer on the mountain. Great places to eat in town. 5 star for sure!

Cozy cabin

Cozy cabin in a lovely location. Only real issue we had was the abundance of cockroaches in both bathrooms. It made for a rather interesting stay. The view listed in the photos was clearly taken in the fall as when we arrived, the view was covered by the beautiful trees and leaves. The property manager was great and kind.

This cabin was so cozy and cute! It was very comfortable and one of the cleanest rentals we have ever stayed in. We loved the view from the deck. The hot tub was great. Loved the outdoor gas fireplace! We made s'mores one evening. Our dog loved the place too. She loved lounging on the deck. Met some friendly neighbors. We would absolutely love to come back here.

Beautiful view

We had a great stay at the cabin! Beautiful view, all the necessary kitten tools for us to cook and enjoy our meals. We were able to have s’mores, hang out in the hot tub and play board games all with a great view of the mountain! Only downside was lots of spiders/webs on the deck and near the hot tub but we managed! We would definitely stay here again!

Nice view, clean, safe

This was a great cabin. Loft was enjoyed by the kids and the deck was relaxing! Cabin was clean and nicely decorated with bears. I would just recommend taking bug repellent for outside due to mosquitoes, but it’s summertime. The cabin was maintained and very clean especially for being pet friendly. Deer were seen daily.there isn’t much of a yard, but the quaint road is safe for walking the dog and bonus is seeing other views. The location was very convenient to everything with groceries being 10 -15 minutes away. Wineries, Blue Ridge , farms, orchards are close by. Mercier orchards was awesome and very close. Overall great cabin and rental was great experience.

A great house on a ridge with awesome views

Sipping my coffee in the morning on the deck overlooking the North GA mountains was a highlight of my day. We saw at least 8 deer pass right below the house feeding on the grass! We love that the houses all rest on the ridge of the mountain and are already making plans to visit during the winter months!
