About this property

CHESTATEE RIVER CABIN is a prefect pet friendly get away close to Dahlonega

If you're looking for an adorable cabin on the river with easy access to North Georgia, this is it! The deck is literally on the river!

The cabin has updated appliances, including a dishwasher, washer/dryer, and HVAC. The one bedroom is perfect for two, and there's a queen-size sofa sleeper that can comfortably sleep two more. We love four-legged children, so this cabin is pet-friendly.

Sit back and enjoy the sound of the river, do a little fishing, or curl up with a good book! We are committed to providing a clean, safe, and pleasant environment for our guests.

The cabin features a cozy living room with a fireplace, a queen sofa bed with fresh bedding, and a lounge chair. The bathroom is a nice size with a walk-in shower. Mountain nights are usually cool, and the days are pleasant. The cable provider is Windstream, and we offer services through a smart TV. We provide complimentary Sling TV, but you can sign in to your own providers if you wish.

Please remember that the cabin is rural and has a rustic charm. Power outages can occur with storms or heavy winds. In such cases, we have an assortment of board games, cards, and fishing poles to help you enjoy your time unplugged.

The outdoor deck is almost as large as the inside, allowing guests to truly take in the private surroundings. It overlooks the river and is close enough to fish from the deck. Located at the end of a dead-end road, it's cozy and private with woods directly across the river.

It is just ten minutes to the delightful town of Dahlonega where you can buy your groceries and can even arrange to have them delivered to your car. You can also enjoy shopping at the many quaint places on the square, dine in several charming restaurants, canoe down the river, explore hiking trails galore, and find horseback riding less than two miles away. Or head downtown for your Starbucks fix. Stay for a weekend or come and hang out for a week! These locations are hard to find, and you will love this beautiful 'hideaway'.

If you have any questions, please email the owner at chestateecabin@gmail.com.

Nice Rustic Cabin

Perfect place to disconnect and enjoy the sound of the river. Owner is responsive if anything should arise. Feel like one with nature in this Cabin nestled at the end of a Road. Lots of wildlife, and only about 15 min from town and wineries.

Excellent fall escape!

We booked this cabin in North Georgia, as we were expecting our new granddaughters arrival during this time 10/14-10/17 it worked out fine, but she made her debut earlier than expected, and we enjoyed the cabin on the Chestatee River, the cool temps, and the surrounding areas, enjoying family time. We would definitely stay here again.enjoyable atmosphere!

Fun Place for a Couple

My husband and I enjoyed our stay in this Chestatee River Cabin. We were there for a week. The cabin was cute and comfortable. The kitchen was well-stocked with many items that someone might want to use. There was a barbecue place close by that served breakfast.and lunch. The deck was roomy and had nice furniture for sitting outside and looking at the river. There were plenty of places to eat out in Dahlonega. There are a couple zoos nearby and a lavender farm. Great place to stay!

Short Stay

The cabin needs some care, cleaning and pest control . The size of the cabin was good and when the ac was working it was quite comfortable . The host was very efficient when dealing with the door not unlocking and the broken ac. The television service was great. I wish I had know that there was no cell service ahead of my booking . If it was written in the description, I did not notice it.

The cabin was tidy and well appointed. I enjoyed this day. I do have a suggestion regarding the bed. I understand why there is a plastic covering on the mattress to protect it but every time I moved in the bed, it crinkled and was bothersome. Suggest the owner to get a pillow top mattress pad.

About the host

Hosted by TIna Rayfield

Host profile image
I grew up in North Georgia and have always loved the North Georgia Mountains! As a mom, grandma, daughter, nurse, physician assistant, writer, and entrepreneur, I have a deep connection to this area. After a particularly tumultuous time, I booked the cabin for a month in 2015 and instantly fell in love with the soothing sound of the river. My goal is for guests to feel completely at home here, embracing the peacefulness, serenity, and natural beauty of this place—a haven to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and reconnect with themselves and nature. I hope you find this beautiful retreat with its rustic charm to be a source of serenity and relaxation.

Why they chose this property

I chose this area because I moved to Dahlonega in 2021 to be near my tribe. This community and the serene beauty of the Chestatee River captured my heart. It's a place where I can unwind and recharge, surrounded by nature and cherished moments with loved ones.

What makes this property unique

Connection to nature. Peace, tranquility, PURE JOY of the art of just 'BEING'.

What makes this cabin and property unique is its idyllic setting directly on the Chestatee River. Nestled in the North Georgia Mountains, it offers a serene retreat with the soothing sound of rushing water right outside your door. The cabin itself combines rustic charm with modern comforts, including updated appliances and cozy furnishings. Guests can enjoy fishing off the deck, relaxing by the riverside fire pit, and exploring the surrounding natural beauty. It's a perfect escape to reconnect with nature and create lasting memories with family and friends.
