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.

The property and cabin are the epitome of relaxation! It had everything we needed to unwind and just “be” all weekend. Fished right from the deck, enjoyed the fire pit and had the cozy inside to unwind before a restful sleep. The host was super responsive before and during the stay when we had a few quick questions. Would not only recommend, but can’t wait to book another stay!

Host was welcoming and easy to reach through email. The cabin was charming in a rustic way, but had most everything we needed. We really enjoyed the fire pit outside, and especially the fact that firewood was provided. The setting is serene and absolutely lovely.

We enjoyed the cozy, comfy little cabin overlooking the water. It was a peaceful getaway, with the fireplace keeping the cabin nice and warm. It was clean, and stocked with dishes. The deck was perfect for fishing and relaxing. The hostess was extremely nice and very informative. She responded to our text immediately. One bedroom with a pull out sofa in front room. Very nice. Thankyou.

My wife and I spent 2 wonderful nights at the cabin. It is in a great location near Dahlonega. It's close enough to have fun in the town, but far enough away to enjoy peace and relaxation by the river. We highly recommend!

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.

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'.
