House was cute, but could have been cleaned better prior to our stay. I reached out regarding dirty sheets left on the downstairs bed, and never heard back.
This house is adorable and has a beautiful view! I brought my parents and my children and we only stayed two nights but had a great time. We would definitely recommend staying here!

Great!
We loved our stay at this house. Everything was as advertised.
We had an amazing seven day stay here at The Overlook. The home was beautiful and the views were even better. We spent every morning and night on the deck watching the sun rise and set over the mountains, whether it was in the hot tub or the outdoor couches. The beds were all very comfortable and lots of extra blankets for relaxing inside/outside on the couches. The kitchen was well equipped and had everything we needed for our weeklong stay. The air conditioning worked great during the hot days when we needed it. The location was perfect for us. During our stay we traveled to Blue Ridge, Dahlonega, Amicalola, Chattanooga, and Fort Mountain. In regard to the location, the GPS did take us right to the front door. If you enjoy the mountains and hiking, this place is for you.Somone mentioned in the reviews in regard to the neighbors. The closest neighbor is almost a mile away, and the last time I checked, you can't choose your neighbors. Don't let the mention of the neighbors hinder your trip to this beautiful home! We had an amazing trip and plan to come back during the fall time!
House was clean,well decorated!!
You can find what you need !!!
Beautiful mornings with amazing dawn
Only not really kids Friendly

Perfect getaway
My family was in town for a baseball tournament at Lakepoint and we decided to stay away from the city this time. Everything about this home and our stay was literal perfection! The views, the accommodations, they were exactly what we needed to make this an amazing trip. We slept so well and felt so at home the entire week. Beds were comfy, a/c was cool and comfortable, hot tub was clean and spacious. The decor is adorable and we said many times we didn’t want to leave! Quick response to questions and basic necessities were provided. Be prepared for a decent trek from the front gate to the home itself but once you reach the destination, it’s worth it!! I hope we have a reason to book again!

Thank you so much for sharing such a wonderful review, Katie! We're delighted to hear that your stay was literal perfection during your family’s baseball tournament at Lakepoint. It’s fantastic that you enjoyed the beautiful views, comfortable accommodations, cozy beds, and refreshing A/C. We're also glad the clean and spacious hot tub and adorable decor added to your experience.
We truly appreciate you noting our quick responses and the necessities provided to make your stay even better. And yes, that trek from the front gate to the home can be quite the adventure!
We look forward to welcoming you back soon for another memorable stay!
I booked this cabin for a girls trip/birthday getaway This cabin had everything we needed for our stay. The decor was nice and the beds were comfortable. The sunrises and sunsets were amazing to watch from the wrap around balcony. The only complaint I have was if you have someone that’s afraid of bugs( my 11 year old was terrified), the cabin was infested with ladybugs. They didn’t bother the rest of us but she was not a happy camper. Lol.

Thank you for sharing your experience, we're pleased that our cabin was a good fit for your girls' getaway! It's great to know that you found the beds comfy and especially enjoyed the balcony views. While our home does receive regular pest control, during ladybug season, the little critters tend to find their way into the home and we regret any distress this caused a member of your party. We enjoyed having you as our guest and we hope to host you again.
Door was standing open upon arrival. Advertises fireplace but not allowed to use. Offers fire pit but did not state had to bring your own supplies. There was no wood or a lighter. The gps does not get you to the house. Had cars parking near the house for hours at a time. Should advertise a 4wd vehicle is recommended that is not a vest easy road to take. The whole reason the trip was booked was to sit on the couch in front of the fireplace and look out the window at the sun setting across the mountains on the first vacation my husband and I have taken by ours selves, but the windows were filthy. And lastly the house close to the rental has a sign in the yard that says f trump and 86 47 which to me is highly disrespectful and almost made us leave the vacation.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that aspects of your stay did not meet your expectations, especially given the importance of this trip for you and your husband. To clarify a few points, GPS directions do lead directly to the home, and while the final portion of the road is gravel, it is generally passable and not considered difficult. The home does not provide firewood or fire-starting supplies for the fire pit, as noted in our house guidelines. Regarding the windows, they were inspected and are not dirty, though there is a coating on them that can sometimes give that appearance. We apologize if this affected your enjoyment of the view. We understand your concerns about the door being open upon arrival and the nearby activity you observed, and we regret any discomfort this caused. As for neighboring properties, we unfortunately have no control over signage or displays on surrounding private residences. We appreciate you sharing your experience, as guest feedback helps us continue to improve communication and clarity in our listings.

Mountain Cabin Perfection
Wow, there is so much to say about this mountain home…all of it good. 2 couples stayed here with 2 children and 2 dogs. We had so much room to spread out and never felt crowded. The 2 main bedroom both had en suite bathrooms and the 3rd bedroom was perfect for kids with bunk beds. The wrap around porch had 2 cozy couches overlooking the breathtaking view of the valley and river below. There was a large dining table on the side as well as 2 large sleeping couches towards the back of the home. The hot tub had front row views as well. The kitchen was well appointed with all of the necessary equipment and a perfect amount of dishes. We didn’t have the opportunity to use the firepit area, but it looked great with beautiful views and plenty of seating.
The cabin is close to hiking trails and an easy drive to Ellijay. We went over to the Tumbling Waters trail which was beautiful.
The owners have the home decorated beautifully. There is great seating in the living room, none of us ever felt like we had to compromise while lounging around. Do not hesitate to book this cabin. We will definitely be back…it gave us mountain cabin envy!!!

A quiet place to recharge
This cabin is wonderful place to spend time sitting on the wrap around porch or soaking in the hot tub. It’s very quiet and feels like you are by yourself in the middle of the woods. We had a wonderful weekend.
