Lisa was so kind to share this wonderful place with us. She went above and beyond in her suggestions and communication. We went with a bunch of young kids and she gave us some great recommendations that were personal, and her place was a great fit for our family. She was understanding about any of the concerns or issues we faced, and was very quick to respond. If you want a quiet secluded place, this is for you!

Our family truly enjoyed this lovely home & property. It is well appointed with some smart design features. The hosts are attentive and quick to answer questions and provide guidance.
With 4 generations of family, we had some special needs / questions. The hosts answered every one of them in a timely and honest manner.
We loved the open layout of the family / dining / kitchen area. We could all be in there together, without feeling cramped -- but also doing different activities -- someone is cooking while kids doing crafts at the table, and others catching a ball game.. The dog slept in the nook to the side of the couch -- out of the way, but close by. The porches are fantastic, and the wall of windows facing the porch / river brought the outside in.
The main floor, wrap-around porch, and parking are all one level, which was great for the seniors. They could observe all of the family activities without all of the steps. We liked the full over full bunk beds WITH a trundle. With younger kids, this was the perfect way to give them space while also having them just outside the mater bedroom upstairs. Eveyone said that their beds were comfortable.
We spent most of our 3 night stay at the house. We enjoyed sitting in various areas. Taking little hikes. Some even tried kayaking and canoeing and were proud that it was easier than expected! The jacuzzi was part of the evening ritual. We did also venture out to a nearby winery and enjoyed it.

We had a great time, and loved the canoe and Kayaks for the boys. Only recommendation is the beds are very hard and we did not get much sleep. Also adding some rugs would help the overall home feel of the house. Overall I would recommend it to others. thank you!

We had such a great time! The home is beautiful! The setting is perfection. My children and teens actually played outside! We used the rope swing and the fire pit and the fireplace and the hot tub, and the kayaks! We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect stay. The host was so very quick to communicate and was so very kind! We hope to visit again!

We had the best time at this adorable property. It was perfect for our girl trip weekend. It’s open and airy, nice sized bedrooms, peaceful scenery, beautifully decorated, and very clean. We loved being right on the river and would definitely go back.

We enjoyed our stay! The home is very clean and just a short drive to Dahlonega which is so festive this time of year. It is a beautiful home and very private. The hot tub was great. The homeowner was quick to answer any questions we had. We will definitely consider staying there again when in Dahlonega.

The house was beautiful, very clean and came with all the amenities of home! Our kids loved canoeing on the river, swinging on the rope swing and s’mores at the fire pit. We enjoyed wine on the deck overlooking the river and nights in the jacuzzi. Wonderful way to get away from the stresses of life and our host was incredible. We were able to check in early as well as check out late without any hassle and we received a response minutes after every question! I can’t say enough great things about the property and host!

The cabin was just as described, it was very clean and cozy! We took a last minute family getaway before the school year starts and made some great memories! I couldn’t have gotten the kids away from the river if I wanted to and getting them away from electronics these days is no easy feat. The owners reached out with some additional info about the property that really made our short stay memorable, I would recommend this location to anyone!

A lovely house off the beaten path near Dahlonega on the bank of the Chestatee river.
Everything was clean, up to date, and functional. Very private. The internet and phone service can be spotty at times but this was only an occasional minor occurrence.
Overall, I definitely recommend this property and plan to stay there again.

Anytime I needed to reach out to Lisa she responded quickly!! She made sure our stay was the best! We have family in Jasper and I ask Lisa before they came, if they could come over for a visit and she said absolutely!! Most places will not allow because it puts you over your capacity but there was plenty of room outside for the kids to fish and play. We grill and enjoy our family time !! The house was absolutely beautiful! Sitting on the porch early in the morning drinking coffee watching the beavers go up and down the river couldn’t get any better than that!! Thank you Lisa for making our stay awesome!! PS:while the kids fished they saw a black bear cross the river….it made their day!!

The host was a great communicator, unfortunately, however, the home is poorly mainly maintained, dirty, and highly uncomfortable. No amenities whatsoever other than the river view. Bring a chair for relaxing because other than 2, old and dirty sofas with zero cushion support, there is NO PLACE inside to get comfortable. The fabric on the sofas is dirty. We used our own sheets to cover them. The refrigerator and freezer were filthy inside. This included plenty of someone's hair. The bathroom was no better. The floors have not been thoroughly cleaned in this home in my guess would be weeks. The king bed downstairs is very comfortable and was our only saving grace. The porch is large with a beautiful view, but cluttered and dirty. The cleaning and maintenance deficiencies are many, and enough to comfortably say NEVER AGAIN.

Lisa’s home was awesome!! A very peaceful, beautiful, serene retreat. The location to the wineries was perfect. Only wish we had more time to stay longer.
4.9
We had a great stay. The home was VERY clean- lots of towels, dishes, glasses, etc. location is exactly how listing described. We had a great time.

My family enjoyed the peace and tranquility on the waterfront. Sometimes we’re used to the modern lifestyle of watching television in almost every room of our primary homes that it’s easy to lose focus on the importance of downtime. The stay was very pleasant.
4.9
I traveled with my family, 2 adults and 4 kids. We had plenty of room for sleeping! The property is very private and was clean when we arrived. The kitchen is well stocked with pots and pans and dishes. Also, loved that we could all sit together to eat at the large dining room table.

We rented this house for a surprise 50th anniversary for my parents. The owner was very responsive and the location was very close to the wineries. The house was very clean and looks exactly like the photos. We rented a wine van from DSH transportation and they knew exactly where the house was and picked us all up on time. Overall I would highly recommend this house!
4.9
Pros:
Nice home, good space, comfortable beds, right on the river, lots of seating, laundry access, close to wineries, easy to get to via gps
Cons:
Horrible issue with hornets on the deck. Kitchen oven needs a good cleaning, it smoked every time we turned it on. A lot of the pots and pans are old and chipping/ too dirty to use. The trundle bed sheets weren’t cleaned before we arrived. Not enough parking, we had 7 people stay with 5 cars. We had the unfortunate run in with the neighbor who is a piece of work, to say it in a nice way. Just beware.
4.9
We enjoyed our stay. Location was convenient to Dawsonville, Dahlonega, and Helen. The property was clean and beautiful. The owner was super easy to communicate with. We will definitely stay again in the future.

Beautiful chalet on the river with great views. The owners were very hospitable !

We enjoyed the cleanliness, decor and fully stocked dishes/pans etc....AND the BEDS were so comfy, the TOWELS were plush. We caught a few fish in the river, but not a ton of bites. With Dahlonega, Helen and so many waterfalls within a short distance...we never ran out of things to do!

Lovely place
What a wonderful place, very peaceful!
The owner of the house is another plus, very sweet, fast response with questions, I would recommend this place to everyone! I can’t wait to come back!!

Awesome place to stay
This property is great. We were all so pleased with the location. Secluded, quiet. So peaceful. The guys loved the fishing. The only recommendation we have is maybe have a charcoal grill on the deck. Currently the only grill is a picnic grill. We grilled steaks and this worked fine but it had been raining. If the rain had not stopped we would not have been able to grill.
