Very welcoming host! The house was clean and had everything you wanted or needed. We stayed thru Christmas and the kitchen had everything to cook a big Christmas dinner! The sauna and hot tub were a perfect addition.
This is a phenomenal property! Host greeted us on arrival and showed us around. The house was spotless and there were some thoughtful personalized welcome messages throughout the house. The upstairs was great for getting ready together for our outings. The beds were comfortable and we had plenty of towels and blankets. We will definitely stay here again!

James is absolutely fantastic!! The property is beautiful and entertainment friendly. However, the sauna and hot tub/cold plunge aren't really a plus. But we Absolutely loved our stay!!!!
This property was absolutely beautiful and felt like a true escape. We stayed with close friends to celebrate an upcoming marriage, my best friend found her libster! The home could not have been a better setting. The house was exceptionally clean, thoughtfully maintained, and decorated beautifully.The bar area was a standout feature and made hosting a wine night in effortless.The deck was our favorite space, perfect for a book, a cup of coffee and the quiet of the surrounding woods.Although we did not take advantage of the sauna or wood fired hot tub, both were beautifully presented and added to the overall sense of luxury. The drive into downtown Dahlonega was just under twenty minutes, with easy, well marked roads, which made outings simple and stress free.The host was kind, responsive, and informative.We would wholeheartedly recommend this home to anyone seeking a peaceful, well appointed space for a great time with friends, celebration, and rest.
The property was just as described- clean, comfortable, and spacious. It is close enough to travel into town but still feels very secluded. It was wonderful!
Every thing was wonderful.
The house was well equipped with everything that you would need, with a lot of extras to really make you feel comfortable. Would definitely stay again and recommend.
It was our second stay in this house. Everything was excellent as in the first time we stayed in. Very clean cozy house, very nice owner, the location is great about 1/2 hour from wineries, gold mines, Helena and many others places worth to see.
The host was phenomenal. The house is absolutely amazing and better than advertised. Everything was clean and beds slept wonderfully. Plenty of space and everything is set up perfectly. Indoor and outdoor space with plenty of comfortable seating was great. Bathrooms were spacious and spotless. Loved it!!!!
Girls weekend and we loved the house! It had everything we could possibly need. Plenty of sleep space. Fireplace. Firepit. Owner did a good job of communicating with us about everything. Would stay here again.
The house is beautiful and spacious. It easily accommodated our party of 8. We were visiting for an event at Iron Mountain Park. The house was 20 mins from venue and downtown Dahlonega, GA. Will stay again if we visit the area.
We had a great time, in a beautiful "cabin" hilly and woodsy views about a kilometer from the river. The host went out of his way to put up the Christmas tree early per my request and it was beautiful! I hope we get to stay here again. Merry Christmas!
I had a fairly large group doing an off road motorcycld trip and this was one of the few places that could accommodate for one night. What a fantastic place! Special touches and welcome to the property was superb, house was clean, and had everything we needed. Greeted at the house and given a tour to show us around as well.

Why they chose this property
We liked this house because of its natural and unique style; a Verner original that seemed to have roots. It is made for family and reconnecting with nature. Verner was a unique man, the Old Buzzard, who had no fear of hard work. His famous grandson learned his craft of woodworking from the influence of this grandfather. We picked up where he left off to transform The Buzzard's Roost into Off The Grid Lodge to continue a unique experience for generations to enjoy; for you to enjoy.
What makes this property unique
The property is located close to many attractions in the North Georgia Mountains, yet private and secluded enough to feel you are truly Off The Grid.
