This was a great house. Our entire family was able to stay in one spot for our son's wedding. It was a beautiful setting. Unfortunately we were not able to get down to the creek. My mom said we need to come back here again.

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.

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!!

Wedding Weekend Winner

Could not have asked for anything more in a “landing zone” for our daughter’s wedding. The house was perfect for our group, including us (parents of the bride) our niece/nephew and their children (junior bridesmaid, junior groomsman, flower girl) and another out-of-town friend couple. The house is perfectly matched to its “Bear” theme with great decor throughout this high-quality residence. Tons of space and easy access to the HUGE property in back that rolls its way down to the river below, including a perfect set of Adirondack chairs, encompassing an idyllic fire pit just begging to be used. No detail was spared in this terrific North Georgia retreat- and the owners ensured that every thing one might need for a stress-free stay was within arms-reach at all times. Can not say enough good things about this home- just perfect in every way. (Traveler's note: WAZE will take you to a house on the opposite side of the mountain. The homeowner at that house is super-sweet, but if you want to avoid meeting her, use Apple Maps)
