As usual, the best weekend away we could ask for!

My wife and I have stayed here multiple times for important events in our relationship, from just needing to get away to our honeymoon and now our babymoon. It was just what we needed before we welcome our little girl in the next few weeks! Cant wait to come back and bring our son and daughter next time!

Lovely little cabin full of rustic charm

A lovely little cabin full of rustic charm is the best way to describe this place. I honestly don’t think the pictures do it justice. It is small, but not cramped. It was very clean. The kitchen was well equipped. I appreciated the sharp knives and quality cookware, which we have found is a rarity in cabin rentals. The hot tub was wonderful and, like the cabin, very clean. The furniture was comfortable. The bed was a little firmer than I prefer, but I still slept well. The only negatives I could find were ones we were already informed of in the listing, the water and the road. The water smell wasn’t a huge issue. Truthfully, the only time I really noticed it was when I washed my hands in the bathroom sink. We brought bottled water to drink. The road is a bit treacherous. I highly recommend arriving while it’s still light out. We made it fine in our Buick Encore, but I could see where a lower car would have major difficulties. Communication with the host was excellent. When we arrived the WiFi wasn’t working. Host responded promptly letting us know it was an area outage and was currently being worked on. Then replied again to let us know it was fixed and to make sure we were up and running. Overall we had a very pleasant stay. I highly recommend!

Birthday get away

The cabin was cozy, rustic. It met our needs. The road up to it was a little rough but we were prepared. The hot tub was nice, and the porch was nice for sitting on in the mornings and drinking coffee.

Peace and quiet

The cabin as a whole was perfect. We absolutely loved the layout. All of the comforts of home in a tranquil setting nestled into the hillside. There were a couple of things we could nitpick but we're not those types of people.

Definitely check in during day time

Driveway/road to cabin was more than rustic. Our Ford Expedition struggled big time and is now needing a front end alignment. We got stuck in the actual place to park and getting out was difficult with no room to move the vehicle to get turned around. Cabin was very clean, however, there were great discrepancies in pics with decorative items that to some are no big deal but to us they were. I have nothing bad to say other than had these been in the pics representing the cabin, we would have not have booked.

Quite.

Was very rainy getting there. I drove a Ford Escape so you can get up the road. Would be very hard finding the place in the dark. Bathroom has a shower tub with plenty of hot water. The wood stove worked like a charm. Do bring your own wood.

Honeymoon

We had a great time. The hot tub was absolutely fabulous! The scenery was beautiful and the weather was great. I do recommend to everybody by the insurance! I’m not sure whether or not we broke the toilet seat, or the toilet seat was already broken, but either way it will be replaced, and both parties are covered. Great place to stay very private!

The property was a joy to stay at, my partner and I had a fantastic time relaxing in the hot tub and enjoying the Fall weather of North GA. Edwin was able to accommodate an extra night for us since we couldn't get enough. 5 stars.

Very secluded get-away spot

This property is perfect if you want a lot of privacy surrounded by nature. My husband and I wanted a short North Georgia mountain retreat and this place was perfect! We enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub; and we cooked a few meals. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need to cook. The beds were comfortable and there were TVs in both bedrooms. I also appreciate the reusable filter in the coffee maker. The property is at the end of a dirt road and the trek wasn't too bad in our small SUV. The property owner was up front about the drive in and we appreciated his stellar directions for the drive in. This place is very close to Clayton, GA and there are many very good places to eat there. The downtown area of Clayton was spectacular, full of friendly folks and lots of cool little shops. This place is also only about 8 miles from Tallulah Falls State park, which is a must-see if you're up that way. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. One thing I'd like to point out---you have to take your trash with you and the recycling center in Tallulah Falls wasn't open until 12pm on Sunday. We ended up just taking it home with us. Overall...spectacular VRBO property that soothed our souls with its gorgeous natural surroundings. Great outside deck too...for drinks, music, chatting. Highly recommend!

Country getaway

My husband and I wanted to get away for the weekend somewhere that was comfortable, quiet, and private, while being close enough to get out and about if we wanted. This property fit the bill. Definitely don't recommend driving a low car, which we were advised about in listing/booking. We took my husband's truck and thankful we did. The property was as listed. The only down falls was the bed in the room near hottub was extremely hard and uncomfortable. The hot tub needed some type of covering above it to keep debris falls from trees out while trying to enjoy. All of the furniture on the porch was too dirty to use without thoroughly cleaning. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook. We would definitely stay here again if the mattress is replaced or a super thick topper added. Excellent communication with question about property.

Great little getaway!

We went for a Valentine trip and it did not disappoint! Everything was great! We loved the hot tub and the house had everything we needed for the most part. The other reviews weren’t playing about the road being difficult, but our Nissan Versa pushed through! Just go slow and steady. Overall, definitely worth it and recommend to people!

The good: secluded and quiet. Hot tub was a hit. Rooms were great and tastefully decorated. It does have a musty odor when you first open the door but after leaving the door open for a bit, it was fine. Kitchen had everything we needed. Needs improvement: The road into the rental was not the best. Areas were washed out and narrow. Limited parking and on a steep incline which could be a problem for 2-wheel drive vehicles. We happen to be in a 4-wheel drive. Overall it was good and met our needs. Great location to the arena, which was our top priority.

Cute cabin but....watch out for the "road"

The cabin itself is cute and rustic. The front door will only open halfway. The hot tub is lovely. The beds are comfortable. It's a relaxing little spot The road to get to the property is a mess! Not disclosed in the description until after you book that an SUV or truck would be preferable. Watch out for the neighbors dogs they will run out into the road! One of the times they ran out, I swerved and wound up in a ditch to avoid hitting them. Had to get towed out! I contacted the owner for advice and they never responded. The dogs are sweet but will camp out on your front porch the whole time. One has festering sores on his body the other just wants to play fetch. The cabin itself is quaint and comfortable.

Owls nest cabin

The overall property was nice. We never could figure out how to connect the tv to the Wi-Fi but I’m sure that was on us. There are neighboring dogs that follow you up and will not go home. One of which is in terrible shape and obviously not cared for properly. He had tumors and opened wounds all over his body. He stayed at the front door and we would have to step over him to enter and exit the cabin. The road to the cabin is very treacherous and dangerous. It rained most of our stay and so many of the bad places look like they could wash away at any point. This needs to be corrected before renting to anyone else. It literally feels like a death trap and we were sure to be back at the cabin each night before dark to be sure we made it.

About the host

Hosted by Edwin Ashurst

Host profile image
I am a licensed Realtor working in the Atlanta area. We have always had a affinity for the mountains of NE Georgia. I worked in Cherokee and in Highlands during summer vacations and always wanted to own a retreat in the mountains and now we do. It's a pleasure to share this special place with you. Email me if you would like to see a copy of the rental agreement before you book your stay.

What makes this property unique

This home is the definition of cozy and, in this case, it's not just a euphemism for small. There are large comfortable sofas, skylights in the living and dining area, a wood stove that will heat the entire home and lots of peace and quiet. It's a perfect place for that Romantic retreat, or a place to park yourself and work on that novel, or to sit in quiet contemplation or use as a base of operations for the many outdoor activities available in the area.
