Wonderful peaceful getaway!

Beautiful property as described. Outstanding host and hostess, aided by Ruby and Mildred, their dogs who checked in with us regularly! Way back in the foothills but close enough to town that it was convenient to get out. Wonderful walking trails on the property going right down to the river, though some trails are steep so recommend good hiking shoes and a walking stick. Absolutely loved the place!

Wonderful Experience!!

My husband and I had such an enjoyable and relaxing stay at Blueberry Shoals! The hosts were just superb! Little tour of the property by Britt and the friendly dogs. Very clean accommodations. The continental breakfast was so thoughtful and kind. Our little gift mugs were just adorable! We had fun doing a little site seeing at the Gold Museum then ran across a fudge shop which was a weakness for me. We enjoyed sitting out and just taking in nature and watching the flowing river. Definitely would do it all over again.

New Years in N Georgia

We had an awesome experience at Blueberry Shoals!! Britt and Donna were absolutely wonderful hosts! I can’t say enough about them and their property. From a hearty welcome with gifts and snacks to breakfast, we couldn’t have asked for more. Property was located far enough from Dalonagah but close enough to enjoy. Amenities were awesome and we can’t wait to go back!!! Overall extremely impressed!!
