Cozy Hideaway

We loved the porch and deck out by the River, the s’mores night at the campfire, and the entire cottage itself. It was perfect place to host family over for the evening. We hope to come back!

Perfect and peaceful

This property is amazing. The house was very clean and had every amenity we could want or need. We enjoyed sitting on the back porch area, on comfy and clean outdoor furniture, listening to the sound of the rushing water. We loved this place. The owner lives next door-we met him and he is a very nice and helpful host.

Best Cabin Ever!

This cabin was immaculate, extremely well equipped, everything worked perfectly, even all the light switches were labeled. The floor plan with 2 master suites was perfect for 2 couples. We enjoyed the large porch overlooking the river and our host, Bruce, told us to look for the family of ducklings and a pair of bald eagles. Dahlonega is a cute town to visit and we did several hikes in the area. We can’t recommend this cabin enough and certainly hope to return!

Nice Mountain Getaway

Beautiful property by the water. Everything was clean and the decor was as relaxing as the river. The host was gracious to stock pretty much everything you need. Host was also quite knowledgeable of the area and the history of Dahlonega. This location was a wonderful ‘find.’

Another Cozy & Relaxing Stay

This isn't the first time we stayed at this cozy home. It indeed will be our go-to place when visiting north Georgia. The home has everything needed. It is clean and just a warm and inviting home. We love the location. Away from it all yet easy to get to town and attractions such as some great nearby wineries. And being right on the river is awesome! One could not ask for a more friendly and helpful host than Bruce. Thank you, Bruce. We look forward to our next stay! Toni & Jim

Women's weekend getaway

We loved everything about our stay at the Chestatee River Cabin. It was clean and very well maintained. The attention to detail was much appreciated, Before we even arrived we knew what to expect. Bruce was in contact with us and gave specific instructions to get us right to the cabin...even went as far as to warn about the drop in speed limit 2 miles out! He greeted us upon arrival and made sure we had no problem with entry. One evening there was an issue with the gas fireplace (operator error) and he came over at 8:30 p.m. to check it out. We appreciated the coffee, sugars and creamer and also the toiletries (which were top notch). The location was great, only a 15-30 minute drive to all the activities we wanted to do. There's plenty of hiking nearby and we spent evenings playing games or sitting by the campfire, wood provided by Bruce. This was a very comfortable stay for girlfriends who wanted to get away from the city, do a little shopping, but mostly chill out. This is definitely the perfect cabin for 2 couples, a small family or a couple friends wanting to get away! Thank you Bruce & Lisa for opening your sweet cabin to us.

Bruce and his wife do an amazing job of thinking of everything! All you need to do is bring your bags and groceries! Amazing view on the river, every amenity you could think of to include marshmallow holders for smores. We so enjoyed the back porch and take a walk along the shore down where the rocks are and enjoy the sounds! We went downtown and enjoyed all the shops and fall decorations. Thankyou for sharing your piece of heaven with us. A great girls weekend after dealing with 2 hurricanes!

River get-away

This property is just beautiful. The river is calming and relaxing. It rained every day except one, so we were unable to enjoy this beautiful porch. The porch is covered, but the wind and rain prevented us from going out. The house is excellent and you have everything you need or want. It is decorated beautifully. Our host was very nice and answered every question promptly.
