Beautiful Location; Definitely Booking Again

This rental looked exactly like the photos! It was stunning and only 3 minutes from Chattahoochee skiing area. It was a little expensive but definitely worth it! We wished we would have booked it a day later to be able to stay in the house longer. The only thing that we had an issue with was that we couldn’t find the bunkers or game room. It was just two of us so it didn’t really matter, but it would have been nice to see for future rentals at this location.

Beautiful views

Love the back deck. Beautiful views. Overall wonderful stay here. Very cozy. Wish I would have realized the 3rd bedroom is separate from the rest of the house and accessible only from outside deck. Was not cleaned properly when we arrived but this was remedied by owner.
