awesome cabin by a sparling stream

Great location with easy access to town and activities. Felt very private even though there were other houses nearby. Grandson loved playing in the little stream on the property. Nice mix of indoor and outdoor spaces.

Best cabin and location ever

Very clean The creek is AWSOME. Motorcycle friendly including the parking. Great fire pit nights, relaxing hot tub and it was close to hiking, parks,and the town of Blairsville. Lots of attractions and things to do but yet relaxing and away from it all. Visited granddaddy mims distillery and hiked. Fire pit was very nice.

Thanksgiving Family Get away

The house was great! Plenty of room for all of us along with the rest of the family that was staying down the road. Only issue we had was the propane tank was empty so we went and refilled and there was garbage in can so we didn't have enough room for our trash. Definitely want to go back

Blairsville getaway

Rented the house for 4 old friends to relax and catch-up. The creekside location was heavenly and more than compensated for the obvious need for a little investment. Chipped coffee mugs, an aging mattress, peeling decking, broken glass in a patio table, that sort of thing. It was still a lovely getaway for us.

Peaceful

The house was very clean. We did not experience any problems. Everything went smoothly from check in to check out. I loved sitting on the porch in the morning listening to nature and loved sitting by the creek. The multi arcade game was fun as well. I definitely would love to come back and stay here or even check out their other location/home.

Perfect mountain getaway for the family

Beautiful cabin situated near Blairsville. Very clean and updated, very comfortable. Beautiful location next to the creek. Close to hiking, waterfalls, trout fishing, antique stores, and all sorts of outdoor activities. 35 min to Helen, 15 minutes to Brasstown Bald, 15 minutes to Helton Creek Falls. We had a great week together. Foosball, classic video game machine, very strong WiFi. We usually don't stay in the same place twice, but I would definitely consider returning here.

Beautiful property, home & location

The property was breathtaking, and the home is immaculate. No detail left untouched. The home was the perfect fit and size for Our family of five and had plenty of space and outdoor life to occupy our three little boys time and attention. My only complaint, (which turned out to be a blessing in disguise) was that the WiFi was inoperable. Whether it was poor reception or the password provided was incorrect, it never worked throughout our five day stay. Just something to keep in mind for those requiring internet service or intending to work while staying at this location. Other than that, the host provided a beautiful well stocked home for us to vacation. Loved every part of it!

Beautiful but nasty

The cabin and location was beautiful but they do bare minimum cleaning. Bottom of shower liner was disgusting. Back of door in basement bathroom looked like it never gets cleaned and it had brown stuff smeared on it. Mattress was nasty looking when we removed the sheets. Trash can in upstairs bathroom was falling apart. Washer and drier are in an unfinished room in the basement. Felt like you were in a dungeon going in there. We had came for a wedding and had to iron some things. Had to put towel over ironing board because it was nasty from sitting on the floor of the “dungeon”. Although we loved being down by the creek and playing in it we will never stay here again.

Fantastic Location!

Let me start by saying that this is a great house in a fantastic location. I loved being right on the stream running through the backyard. It was very relaxing. The house was not clean, however, and that’s a dealbreaker for me. There was mold on both shower curtains, the oven had baked on nastiness inside, the grill was so dirty we could not use it, and the best part was the FOOD and dirt behind the couch. (I dropped something back there and had to move it.) The dishes needed to be washed coming out of the cabinet, and the coffee cups were chipped so badly that I couldn’t even use most of them. I did bring all of this to the owners attention, and she assured me this was not up to her standards and she would address it. I hope she does, because this really is a nice spot. I did not appreciate the fact that I paid a cleaning fee and had to clean the home as soon as we got there. That’s just not ok.

I brought my teenage son and his friend for a quick fall getaway. The cabin was perfect!! The boys had their own space downstairs with a foosball table, arcade game, and mini fridge, while I had a peaceful retreat upstairs. The hot tub was a well appreciated amenity! The host was attentive and easy to communicate with. We will definitely be back!!
Enjoying the creek!

Excellent Stay

It was a great stay! It was exactly what the pictures show. We went during the summer and the kids had a great time in the creek. The fire pit area was great for smores. It was peaceful and lovely. The game room was so much fun, adults and children enjoyed it. The mattresses were comfortable. Even the pull out had a topper that made it good. The place was clean and check in/ check out was easy. Also, as someone from Florida that is scared by back country steep roads, the drive was paved and easy, which was a bonus! I would totally stay here again!

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house met all our needs and the location near the creek was excellent. We also enjoyed the town of Blairsville and found many things to do. If you like hiking, you will find that north Georgia has plenty to offer.
