This house has a great kitchen for entertaining with everything you could imagine. It also needs some upgrading and major cleaning throughout. The jacuzzi has not been cleaned in a while and was not even usable. The fire pit and stream are an awesome addition to the outdoor area. We had a great time!

This home is large yet set up to feel cozy. All the amenities included! There were 8 of us and we never felt the least bit crowded. It was very easy to be in a private area if desired. Large kitchen allowed for several of us to prepare a meal and the large table accommodated us to eat and to later play family games. The babbling stream was calming & soothing. Sitting around the outdoor fire pit was the perfect way to unwind from a day of visiting the local shops, farms/orchards, parks & waterfalls, and wineries. There is a small sitting/reading nook complete with a variety of books to choose from (in case you forgot yours). This place is my dream destination.

Girls crafting trip
We loved our girl's weekend at Mountian Waters. Such a beautiful property with the creeks running through it!! The kitchen is very well stocked (except for a crockpot) The bedrooms are large and comfortable each having its own bathroom. The living room was great as a gathering place with a large fireplace and huge TV , and all of the nooks and places to escape to if you just wanted a minute to have a quiet time or talk on the phone was perfect. We did have a strong storm blow through and the power went out for a few hours during the night but we survived. All 4 of us are talking about renting again and bringing our husbands next time. Just so we have someone to stoke and keep the fire going. Haha

Beautiful Setting
Our stay was during Christmas week. The management company is a dream to work with. I contacted them because there was a storm due to come in the day we were to arrive. I was able to work with them on getting into the house the day before. The house is well maintained. It is a rental property, yes some things are dated but all in all it’s very comfortable. There is just one thing that should be specified in the description. The second bedroom upstairs is not really a bedroom, one wall is open. It’s more of a loft bedroom. We only needed three bedrooms for six of us, but if you’re traveling with four couples it could be an issue. There is an issue with a funky smell in the master bedroom closets but it doesn’t leak into the bedroom. We didn’t use them, thankfully there is more than enough drawer space. The kitchen is huge, with everything you need to make full meals. The house sits on a magical property. It’s beautiful. The surrounding creek, bridge and fire pit make it perfect. We were lucky enough to get snow, which turned it into a winter wonderland. We did buy a lot of wood to keep the fireplaces going, which did get very expensive. During warmer weather, there are a number of screened in porches to sit and enjoy the sound of the creek. There are neighbors but you don’t even realize they’re there. Yes there are some issues with the house but they’re minor. It was a great place to spend the holidays.

This home was as advertised and more! The pictures don’t do the lovely property justice. We had 4 couples in our party and had more than enough room to be together or apart. All the beds were comfortable and the living room accommodated all of us. Area with fire pit had enough seating and made for some fun memories! There is absolutely nothing missing in the kitchen to prepare food! And tons of storage. Our poodle was at home almost immediately and enjoyed exploring the grounds and creek.
Cannot wait to return!!

I brought handicapped people.
The house is dated. Very humid in the master bedroom. The carpet was gross. No bath mats. I was told there were just a few stairs. The property was beautiful and many aspects of the house were nice. I was not told there was no cell service. I had to call the EMS through the house phone and then could not contact the hospital because it was long distance unless I drove done the road. It was not isolated and there were no trails. I was disappointed because this property was expensive.

Property and house were beautiful. Everything was great and we enjoyed ourselves! We especially had fun in the hot tub, fire pit, and racing ducks in the creek. Thank you for labeling everything and providing the driving directions from Ellijay.
We did have the ice machine break down on us and the ants in the kitchen and bathroom adjacent to the kitchen. I appreciated the property management letting me know what was going on. I just wished they had contacted me when they found out the pest control was not coming out instead of me having to reach back to them. A text would have worked too.
Thank you for having us.

Amazing house for a large group
We stayed at Mountain Waters Lodge with our grown daughters and their partners and everyone had a blast. The house was clean and comfortable. The home had plenty of room and a fabulous kitchen. There were plenty of porches and decks to enjoy the views, no matter what the weather. The grounds were gorgeous! The pool and ping pong tables were a huge hit. We had a slight snag with one of the a/c's not working the evening we arrived (we stayed in July), but management went above and beyond to fix the situation by the next day. We were very impressed with the effort and very grateful for their attentiveness. We would definitely recommend this home!

We enjoyed the cleanliness of the house - in fact, one of the cleanest rentals we’ve ever had. We enjoyed walking around the loop surrounding the house and its neighbors. The yard was exceptionally beautiful and the stream was delightful. We enjoyed the hot tub which was very clean. The kitchen was great and the ice maker and extra fridge drawers in addition to the full size fridge came in handy. The beds were comfortable and the 4 bathrooms came in handy. The pool table and ping pong table were a nice addition.
Cons: it was difficult to get the kitchen/dining area to cool off. The rest of the house was freezing just to keep the dining room and kitchen at a bearable temperature. The lighting in the house was dim and made it difficult to work in the kitchen. We had to ask for a repair to the freezer in the fridge and even after having a repairman come out, it still didn’t get cold enough to keep our ice cream frozen.
All in all, a great stay because of the yard and the neighborhood and the cleanliness of the house.

Awesome location
This was a very fun stay. If you have kids that love to play outside by a creek you can't beat this pick. We enjoyed the grounds, the hot tub, and the wonderful screened in porches so much. The kitchen is also huge and well equipped.
The rest of the house was good but not great which is the reason for the 4 star. The house isn't really a 4 bedroom as one of the bed rooms is in a loft over the kitchen. Luckily there is a bonus TV room where we were able to have the kids sleep instead. But if you really need 4 real bedrooms this isn't for you. Most of the bed were also not very comfortable and could use new linens. They were also the smallest "queen" beds I have ever slept on. There were a few light bulbs burnt out and the shower in the bathroom by the kitchen didn't work well, more water came out the tub spout than the shower head. The freezer also wasn't working right, RIP to our Blue Bell ice cream. All the issues are really easy fixes so hopefully the owners pay attention because this could easily be a 5 star stay.
