We stayed 3 nights and really enjoyed the comfort & coziness of this house! A big pet peeve in VRBOs for us is when the furniture is just not comfortable- happy to say that the couch and recliner were both great! After touring around all day it was great to come home to Redbird Retreat. We also really appreciated the small fenced dog area. We would definitely stay there again!
We were very pleased with the Redbird Retreat. Nice neighborhood fairly quiet (neighbors have dogs), the house was clean and comfortable. Check in and out was very easy. We would love to come back when we can stay longer.
We had a great time here. The place was exactly as described if not a little better. Robin was great to work with and was able to get us in at the last minute. Definitely would stay again.
The property was very easy to find! Everything was exceptionally clean and cozy. Beds were comfortable and kitchen was nicely appointed. Robin (the owner) was very kind and responsive to any questions I had. Would absolutely stay there again!
We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to the Redbird Retreat. Perfect for a weekend getaway for us and our 2 small dogs -the fenced yard area was a great convenience. Robin was wonderful when we had a couple of small requests. Thank you so much!

Sweet little rental in North Georgia
By daughter, dog and I stayed at the Redbird Retreat this past weekend. The house was exactly as described and met our expectations. Very cozy and comfortable. Robin was very responsive anytime I had to contact her - she's great. We'd definitely stay here again!

The property owner has quick response times and even went out of her way to fix a slight issue. The house was easy to find and even though the beds were firm they were perfect for my back pain problem which is a huge plus! Everything we needed was provided for our short stay. And the location is perfect for being secluded but close enough to get out and a bout.
What a great place to stay for a long weekend! We visited with family who lives in town - we played board games in the living room. I loved the fenced in area for the dogs (equipped with a pooper scooper for easy clean up!)
We didn’t use the washer and dryer but the full sized units were great. It was cozy and comfortable for the two of us and the three dogs! Great contact with the owners and easy to find.
Thanks for a great stay!
The cabin was perfect for our needs while we were in between moves and Robin was so nice to let us extend our stay twice!
The fenced area for our fur babies was ideal too. It’s a small area but connects to the patio so they didn’t feel confined. Kitchen was well stocked too. Perfect for two people and convenient to stores/restaurants in the area. I would definitely recommend this place especially if you travel with your fur babies!

Lovely Cottage!
The pet friendly Redbird Retreat was lovely and very relaxing. I thoroughly enjoyed my time there! The home is surrounded by woods and a small power line so there are plenty of places to walk dogs. Plus, there is a small fenced area for pets. The deck is very nice for coffee in the morning and a glass of wine in the afternoon. I found the wifi and cable to work well. The house was well equipped and I will definitely rent again when visiting Blairsville. Loved using her Dyson Vacuum cleaner...may have to get one for myself!

About the host
Hosted by Robin Wilson or James Watson
We both live and work in the Atlanta area and have for many years. Each of us own our own "retreat" in Blairsville and spend many weekends and holidays. Through the years our family and friends have grown to love the area as much as we do. When the opportunity came up, we bought Redbird Retreat so we can now share the loveliness of the area with everyone. We hope you love it as much as we do!
What makes this property unique
There are so many things to see and do in the North GA Mountains and all year round. Lots of festivals and events, beautiful lakes, parks and waterfalls. A lot of walking trails, wonderful places to eat and close to the new Harrah Casino in Murphy, NC. Redbird Retreat is close to it all!
