Great location with easy access to town and activities. Felt very private even though there were other houses nearby. Grandson loved playing in the little stream on the property. Nice mix of indoor and outdoor spaces.

Let me start by saying that this is a great house in a fantastic location. I loved being right on the stream running through the backyard. It was very relaxing. The house was not clean, however, and that’s a dealbreaker for me. There was mold on both shower curtains, the oven had baked on nastiness inside, the grill was so dirty we could not use it, and the best part was the FOOD and dirt behind the couch. (I dropped something back there and had to move it.) The dishes needed to be washed coming out of the cabinet, and the coffee cups were chipped so badly that I couldn’t even use most of them. I did bring all of this to the owners attention, and she assured me this was not up to her standards and she would address it. I hope she does, because this really is a nice spot. I did not appreciate the fact that I paid a cleaning fee and had to clean the home as soon as we got there. That’s just not ok.

We have been to this cabin multiple times over the past four years — always a perfect escape close to so many local hikes and attractions

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house met all our needs and the location near the creek was excellent. We also enjoyed the town of Blairsville and found many things to do. If you like hiking, you will find that north Georgia has plenty to offer.

The cabin and location was beautiful but they do bare minimum cleaning. Bottom of shower liner was disgusting. Back of door in basement bathroom looked like it never gets cleaned and it had brown stuff smeared on it. Mattress was nasty looking when we removed the sheets. Trash can in upstairs bathroom was falling apart. Washer and drier are in an unfinished room in the basement. Felt like you were in a dungeon going in there. We had came for a wedding and had to iron some things. Had to put towel over ironing board because it was nasty from sitting on the floor of the “dungeon”. Although we loved being down by the creek and playing in it we will never stay here again.

Beautiful property, even better than the pics. Only complaint is that there were 2 empty propane tanks for the grill, so we had to cook our steaks on the stove.

Rented the house for 4 old friends to relax and catch-up. The creekside location was heavenly and more than compensated for the obvious need for a little investment. Chipped coffee mugs, an aging mattress, peeling decking, broken glass in a patio table, that sort of thing. It was still a lovely getaway for us.

The house was great! Plenty of room for all of us along with the rest of the family that was staying down the road. Only issue we had was the propane tank was empty so we went and refilled and there was garbage in can so we didn't have enough room for our trash. Definitely want to go back

We had an amazing time absolutely love the cabin!

The house was very clean. We did not experience any problems. Everything went smoothly from check in to check out. I loved sitting on the porch in the morning listening to nature and loved sitting by the creek. The multi arcade game was fun as well. I definitely would love to come back and stay here or even check out their other location/home.

We had a great time! Loved the creek, firepit and sitting on the deck. House was comfortable and clean. Would definitely stay here again.

Very clean The creek is AWSOME. Motorcycle friendly including the parking. Great fire pit nights, relaxing hot tub and it was close to hiking, parks,and the town of Blairsville. Lots of attractions and things to do but yet relaxing and away from it all. Visited granddaddy mims distillery and hiked. Fire pit was very nice.
4.9
The house was perfect for us. We did have a few small issues but nothing major. The game area was fantasic. I thought my son would enjoy it but it was actually the adults who played pac man. The hot tub was relaxing especially at night time. The creek was perfectly described. There's even a small rope swing. The firepit area was night as well but there could be lighting at night time. The only issues was the downstairs tv just randomly would work in the bedroom and the remote looked like a dog chewed on it. All in all we would definitely love to come back.

My wife and I had a nice, relaxing vacation here. The location is very private and beautiful. We enjoyed the game room, hot tub, creek and fire pit. It was the perfect place for our dog too. We will definitely rent this home again.

We stayed for a long weekend with the family. We all love the home and property. The creek and patio are awesome. Location is great. Close to town and yet private. We will book here again

The cabin was great .everything was great all outdoor activities and the only thing missing was a hammock .we would recommend anyone who wants to relax this is the place

Beautiful cabin situated near Blairsville. Very clean and updated, very comfortable. Beautiful location next to the creek. Close to hiking, waterfalls, trout fishing, antique stores, and all sorts of outdoor activities. 35 min to Helen, 15 minutes to Brasstown Bald, 15 minutes to Helton Creek Falls. We had a great week together. Foosball, classic video game machine, very strong WiFi. We usually don't stay in the same place twice, but I would definitely consider returning here.

We loved the cabin! The location was perfect, the views were lovely and we could not be more happy with the cleanliness of the home. We will most certainly be booking this home again in the future.

Great cabin! Great Location! Great Host!

very comfortable cabin. We did not use kitchen so I can't really rate it's amenities. Drive way was under leaves and somewhat hard to identify and navigate. No fault to owner. My only personal reccomendation would be the addition of mattress pad on the beds.
4.9
We had a great time relaxing and playing games at the property. One night we toasted marshmallows and sat around the fire listening to music. The inside fireplace remote was broken, so no indoor fire for us, but the house was warm enough both upstairs and down.

Good location, great house

My wife, 14 yr old grandson, and I spent a great weekend at this cabin just south of Blairsville. The location was great. Access to the creek/river was very easy. The cabin was very well appointed and supplied.
Our grandson loved the downstairs game room. He said he wanted his house set up like that.
The only thing I would change is move the large king bed upstairs and move the double bed downstairs. The stairs were tough on old knees, and the double bed was too small for us old folks.

Perfect family getaway!
We loved our stay at the cabin! The cabin was adorable and very comfortable for our family of four. We loved playing and fishing in the creek. The location is perfect and closer to lots of activities (we enjoyed horseback riding and a trip to Brasstown Bald). If you are looking for a peaceful escape in North Georgia, I would highly recommend!

Beautiful!
We were really close to everything and the cabin was easy to find, and had everything we needed and our kids had a blast playing in the creek. We had a fantastic vacation!!!

Beautiful location, beautiful house. The kids loved the creek and the game room. The gas grill did not work and we planned on using it nightly. They did fill the tanks after the first night but we were never able to get the grill to work and no one returned my messages after that. The kitchen was well stocked. Over all we enjoyed our stay.

Our adult son, special family pet and I loved our stay in this cabin by an incredible creek! From wading and swimming, to enjoying the fire pit, to the comfortable cabin we loved our stay. The game room was amazing!
The cabin was enclosed on the top deck, and the neighborhood was quiet with our cabin secluded from our neighbors. The location was great-near breweries, wineries, & restaurants that were pet-friendly.
The only downside was the pollen attack in May! But the cabin was clean and adequately provisioned for our stay. There were a few minor items we missed in the kitchen (eg, a rubber spatula), but everything was clean and the beds comfortable. We will return to play in the awesome creek! Thank you!

Very nice property and home. Unfortunately the weather was not on our side but being able to sit on the covered porch and read a book while listening to the rain was very relaxing. House offered everything we needed. Would recommend for those looking to get away from it all. Blairsville was close enough to be able to enjoy a nice meal out or walk the small shops.

Great Stay
The cabin was exactly as advertised. We enjoyed a peaceful week. Arkaquah creek runs behind the house and provided a nice spot to relax in the afternoon. Location was close to Trackrock stables where our girls attended horse camp for the week. The cabin was also just a few minutes drive to Blairsville for restaurants and shopping. We will try to rent this cabin again when vacationing in Blairsville.

I rented the house with my boyfriend and another couple and we had a great time at the house and in the Blairsville area. The house was so cute and cozy with access to the little creek out back. Even thought there was a neighbor somewhat close it felt like we were in the middle of the woods alone. My friend and I spent a lot of our time at the house by the water reading. The kitchen was stocked with all the pots and pans, dishes and cutlery you will need. There were plenty of blankets, pillows and linens for our stay. The beds were comfy. All the appliances worked great. The internet was decent for the remote area. The only thing that might deter someone from staying here is if they have mobility issues. The stairs are a little steep going to the basement and the stairs to the fire pit a little unsteady but weren't a problem for my party. My only small opportunity was that I did leave a message for the owner on a few weeks before our stay and they never responded so that was a little disappointing. But I know people are busy and possibly they were not alerted they had a message. All in all I would definitely consider booking this house again. And I think it's a great option for someone looking for a low key getaway.
