This house has everything! The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need to fix a meal. There are so many games to play, including the arcade. There a lots of pillows and blankets in the super comfortable living room space. The beds are really comfortable too! The river is beautiful.

We really enjoyed our stay at this river cabin! The hot tub was great, it was very clean and we had zero issues with it. We used it every night! We were a bit thrown off by the cabin being in a neighborhood, but it was totally fine. There are neighbors close, but we had no issues with noise or disturbance of any kind. I made several meals in the kitchen and was pleased to find I had all the pans/untensils needed, and the grill was easy to use and propane was provided. Our beds were comfortable, the AC was cold, the place was clean...we really enjoyed our stay! Our recommendation is head to Hiawasee Brewery! We went there a couple times, the food is made from scratch and is delicious, and their craft beer is great too. We also loved visiting the local gardens, and utilized the pickle ball courts in town. I had very little communication with the host, but that was mostly due to us not needing assistance with anything. :)

This is such a cute and cozy cabin! Very clean and well kept, stocked with all the cooking utensils you need. It sits on a quiet neighborhood street, that also has a pool. We didn’t use it because we visited in February. It’s spacious enough for 8 people, or a family of 4 plus 2 dogs! The location is perfectly situated far enough away from town so as to avoid the crowds and traffic but close enough to make a quick run to Ingles and Dollar General, or to grab a quick bite to eat. We loved being able to walk by the river and catch (and release) rainbow trout, relax in the hot tub, play games on the arcade, or just lounge around watching tv. Definitely somewhere we will visit again!Thank you for sharing your place Nikki!

Great location by the river!

This was a family vacation for the 4th. House was spacious and in a great location to get to Hiawassi and the lake. We enjoyed watching the rabbits and groundhogs in the field in front of the house. The river had huge trout in it which thrilled my grandson and the pool behind the house was a definite plus with the small one. Communication with hostess was top notch and questions were quickly answered.

Visit to Hiawassee.

Renting went fine. The cabin is in a convenient location and we enjoyed our stay. The house needs a little TLC—like repairing lights that don’t work in the kitchen and bathroom, repair window shades, and add updated TVs. We loved the creek near the cabin. The changing leaves were beautiful!

We thoroughly enjoyed our family vacation at this cabin in GA right on the river. Everything was clean and there was just enough to do activity wise but very comfortable to rest. The owner was attentive with any questions or needs that arose. Our kids loved floating the river and roasting s’mores in the fire pit. It was great! We plan to come back in the future. ❤️

Cabin on the River

We stayed at this beautiful cabin near the river for 1 week. 7 of us ranging from 7 to 70 years old. We all loved it so much and didn’t want to leave. Floating down the river was definitely a highlight. The house was clean and had everything we needed and more. Location to the lake was convenient. Nikki was very responsive, accommodating and understanding. Definitely a super host! We’d love to come again!

Cabin in Hiawassee

The cabin is in a good location on the Hiawassee River. It's spacious as it suited 6 adults and a toddler with room to spare. It's in close proximity to Helen, Dahlonega and Cleveland, GA, all within a half hour to an hour. Very close to Lake Chatuge. The hot tub is for two people, but very clean. The neighborhood pool is nice and never crowded. It's literally at the end of the driveway. You get a lot for the price. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend for families.

Exactly what we hoped for!

My husband had a tough year with cancer treatments that he completed in March. To celebrate he and I took or dog up to this cabin hoping for some relaxation and rejuvenation. It was just perfect! Everything was exactly as advertised. Beautiful river filled with trout, Mountain View’s, waterfalls hikes nearby, convenient to everything we needed, kitchen was very well supplied, and comfortable beds. We loved it, our dog loved it- we hope to be back in the fall! Thank you for sharing your home with us!

Cool cozy spot

We’ve stayed at many cabins in Georgia and Carolina’s as family vacation. This cabin is in a great location with lots to do. Helen is about a 25 min drive through the curvy roads and lots of other things to do locally with a 15 min drive. Our favorite place to relax with our children was the sandbar. The cabin itself has a river we fished in and floated down (15 mins). We caught lots of little fish that are all catch and release. The property managers communication was spot on. The garbage cans were full with loose trash from the previous renters and the “community pool” was green. She responded quickly and the next day they came to take the trash out and the pool was “treated”. The pool cleaner left a note saying it was cleaned but when we went to go later that afternoon, it still wasn’t swimmable, speaking from a pool owner. None of which is a ding on the cabin itself. Overall, it served the purpose we needed it to serve! There are floats, baby items, dog cage (I wish I knew because we brought our own), fishing poles, and everything you need!
