I brought my teenage son and his friend for a quick fall getaway. The cabin was perfect!! The boys had their own space downstairs with a foosball table, arcade game, and mini fridge, while I had a peaceful retreat upstairs. The hot tub was a well appreciated amenity! The host was attentive and easy to communicate with. We will definitely be back!!
Enjoying the creek!

Excellent Stay

It was a great stay! It was exactly what the pictures show. We went during the summer and the kids had a great time in the creek. The fire pit area was great for smores. It was peaceful and lovely. The game room was so much fun, adults and children enjoyed it. The mattresses were comfortable. Even the pull out had a topper that made it good. The place was clean and check in/ check out was easy. Also, as someone from Florida that is scared by back country steep roads, the drive was paved and easy, which was a bonus! I would totally stay here again!

awesome cabin by a sparling stream

Great location with easy access to town and activities. Felt very private even though there were other houses nearby. Grandson loved playing in the little stream on the property. Nice mix of indoor and outdoor spaces.

Fantastic Location!

Let me start by saying that this is a great house in a fantastic location. I loved being right on the stream running through the backyard. It was very relaxing. The house was not clean, however, and that’s a dealbreaker for me. There was mold on both shower curtains, the oven had baked on nastiness inside, the grill was so dirty we could not use it, and the best part was the FOOD and dirt behind the couch. (I dropped something back there and had to move it.) The dishes needed to be washed coming out of the cabinet, and the coffee cups were chipped so badly that I couldn’t even use most of them. I did bring all of this to the owners attention, and she assured me this was not up to her standards and she would address it. I hope she does, because this really is a nice spot. I did not appreciate the fact that I paid a cleaning fee and had to clean the home as soon as we got there. That’s just not ok.

Lovely Anniversary Trip

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house met all our needs and the location near the creek was excellent. We also enjoyed the town of Blairsville and found many things to do. If you like hiking, you will find that north Georgia has plenty to offer.

Beautiful but nasty

The cabin and location was beautiful but they do bare minimum cleaning. Bottom of shower liner was disgusting. Back of door in basement bathroom looked like it never gets cleaned and it had brown stuff smeared on it. Mattress was nasty looking when we removed the sheets. Trash can in upstairs bathroom was falling apart. Washer and drier are in an unfinished room in the basement. Felt like you were in a dungeon going in there. We had came for a wedding and had to iron some things. Had to put towel over ironing board because it was nasty from sitting on the floor of the “dungeon”. Although we loved being down by the creek and playing in it we will never stay here again.

Beautiful property, even better than the pics. Only complaint is that there were 2 empty propane tanks for the grill, so we had to cook our steaks on the stove.

Blairsville getaway

Rented the house for 4 old friends to relax and catch-up. The creekside location was heavenly and more than compensated for the obvious need for a little investment. Chipped coffee mugs, an aging mattress, peeling decking, broken glass in a patio table, that sort of thing. It was still a lovely getaway for us.

Thanksgiving Family Get away

The house was great! Plenty of room for all of us along with the rest of the family that was staying down the road. Only issue we had was the propane tank was empty so we went and refilled and there was garbage in can so we didn't have enough room for our trash. Definitely want to go back

The house was very clean. We did not experience any problems. Everything went smoothly from check in to check out. I loved sitting on the porch in the morning listening to nature and loved sitting by the creek. The multi arcade game was fun as well. I definitely would love to come back and stay here or even check out their other location/home.
