We stayed here for three nights and the house exceeded our expectations. It’s much bigger than the listing makes it seem. Two or even three families of four could comfortably stay here. It felt like a great value for the space and location.Our kids absolutely loved the creek behind the house and spent a lot of time exploring it. The location was perfect—close to town and an easy base for exploring the mountains and the mountain towns to the north.The house had everything we needed for our family, and it truly felt like a home away from home. We’ll definitely be staying here again the next time we’re in the area.The only minor gripe was that I couldn’t find a good spot to hang up a towel, but that didn’t take away from an otherwise excellent stay.

Great spot. Not too far from town, but just far enough. The yard is gigantic and grassy and the running creek is an important element of the property not to be overlooked. Huge game room in the basement with ping pong and spikeball (could use a pool table and/or foosball!). It serves well as a place for a family retreat with kids.

EXPECTATIONS EXCEEDED!

Great home on an absolutely beautiful property. Way more spacious than the photos. There is a huge game room downstairs and bedrooms on every level. The backyard and trail to the water was perfect for us. We fished, tubed, hiked and sunbathed all from the back yard.

Cousin Reunion

We are a family who is getting older and tired of seeing each other at funerals. We started this last year and plan on continuing. We are from TX, IL and GA. This home was perfect for all of us. Five bedrooms, large dining room table, a lot of bathrooms, and located in a beautiful location in N GA. We were close to many things to do or just stay and enjoy the location. The kitchen has everything and then some. If we do this again in GA I hope it will be available. What a memorable and wonderful time we all had.
A family still together at a wonderful place.
What a beautiful site on the property.
A lot of fun and memories at this table.

PERFECT IN EVERY WAY!

My husband and I stayed here for my son's wedding along with my mom and all my siblings and their children as well. There was ample room for everyone! This house is truly amazing! My nephew even caught a trout in the stream in the back yard. The property is 100% private and beautiful! The owner was phenomenal with communicating with us.I would definitely recommend this beautiful home,

The house was large and well-stocked. It’s a beautiful location right on the creek. We had plenty of room for everyone. The beds were comfy. The kitchen had everything we needed. Would definitely go back. Maybe for a longer stay next time!

Spectacular property with lovely view

I gifted my children and grands a mini-vacay for Christmas and picked this treasure as our lodging. We absolutely loved this beautiful home with an exceptional creek view. Check in was a breeze and there was plenty of room for all of us to be together or have a little privacy. Everything we needed or wanted was provided! We were about 6 minutes from downtown Dahlonega and about 25 minutes from all the fun in Helen. I will definitely book again during the summer so the children can picnic on the lawn and enjoy the creek. Don't think twice, this is absolutely the family getaway you're looking for!

Spacious beautiful mountain home

Our family enjoyed staying in this spacious mountain home during fall break - loved the bear theme. The home is well stocked with kitchen appliances (best of any past rental), has spacious rooms and nice bathrooms. The screened in deck overlooks a big backyard that goes down to a flowing creek with a fire pit and Adirondack chairs. The porch downstairs has a swing which was nice. We enjoyed the ping pong table and other games that were provided. We enjoyed shopping in Dahlonega and neighboring towns, hiking to the waterfalls, panning for gold in the stream and the beautiful mountains - convenient for lots of activities. We would certainly like to return at a future date. Had a great time! Thanks for sharing this beautiful home with us.

Wedding weekend

Our family of 10 from Pennsylvania and California stayed here for a Labor Day wedding. The house was beautiful and had everything we could possibly need. There was plenty of room and the screened in porch was a great place to relax with a morning coffee. The house is in a very private location and yet close to anything you may need. Highly recommended.

Better than advertised

This vrbo looked nice enough online, but they need better photos-it is wonderful. The home is spacious, beautifully decorated, fully stocked with extra linens and towels, has a perfect screened in porch to listen to a babbling brook at the bottom of the hill. There is also National Forest on two sides, a path to the creek and on into the forest to a small waterfall. Simply lovely!!

Everything was as pictured. Seemed bigger than what it looked like in pictures! My kids loved being on the creek. It was very nice the amount of bathrooms so every group had their own. Beautiful and peaceful view.
