Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
Our host was fantastic and made sure any issues were addressed promptly. You can tell this was a mountain cabin, but has been renovated and furnished into a "Cozy County Cottage" with all the necessities for an extended stay. We were very comfortable and would definitely stay there again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. So thankful to find a place that was welcoming to pets and didn’t have all kinds of restrictions. The cottage was very clean, and everything was easy to locate using the guide left by the host. We were up for a weekend at Young Harris College and being only 20 minutes away worked out great! We will definitely consider this place the next time we want to spend a long weekend up there!

This was a charming home. Close to Helen and Dahlonega. And many other hiking trails. Location was great. They provided supplies to get you going and more. Beautiful in the fall. Leaves were beautiful. Deer walking past. Great little gem.
