Waterfall Cottage in sight & sound of Cane Creek Falls, 2BR 2BA
About this cottage rental
Located in Dahlonega, this charming cottage for $424 per night is a great option for your next vacation. Our Waterfall Cottage is a 2BR/2BA vacation home within sight and sound of the iconic 50 ft tall Cane Creek Falls. Large screened porch, wood-burning fireplace, WiFi and more on Cane Creek. It is located in the very unique and special location inside the several hundred acre Glisson Camp and Retreat Center. There is a small enclave of privately owned cottages, which are accessible at all times. Ours is the second one downstream at the base of the falls. A large screened porch with dining table and comfortable seating area and other viewing areas will give you the sense of really being with nature as the cottage is about fifty feet from Cane Creek. Lots on either side are vacant and Falls Mountain is behind the cottage. It has two bedrooms, one with a king bed and one with a queen bed and two full baths, fireplace (operational October through March) & we supply Duraflame 3 hour logs (1 per night), free WiFi, Smart TV via Amazon Fire TV stick with YouTube TV, Hulu, Netflix & Prime Video, land-line phone with unlimited USA long distance (cell service is spotty), lower covered deck with porch swing. Breakfast is not provided, but we do provide coffee and all the basic needs for cooking. There are no dishwasher or laundry facilities. We provide camp chairs for you to take to sit by the falls. We have a BBQ and provide charcoal. Cane Creek is a designated trout stream and is now open year-round, but you must have a valid Georgia license to fish. We use the Waterfall Cottage as our own get-away when not rented and thoroughly enjoy spending time there. There are hiking trails all around the camp and maps are located on signs at the welcome center and downstream of the cottage, and you can also check out our hikedahlonega web site that has numerous other hikes / waterfall hikes listed with maps and directions . The falls area is rich in history as a Native American gathering place with netting holes and petroglyphs etched in the rocks by the falls. It was also the site of a very early large water wheel electric generating plant. Much of the time you will find the cottage to be a very quiet and peaceful get-away. The camp does have retreats many weekends, but the main buildings and their cabins are not located near our cottage with the exception of the Program Center, which was designed after the gold mining structures of Dahlonega’s history. It is about 5 minutes from the Dahlonega Square. Some things for you to consider before renting this very special cottage: 1. Strictly limited to four people maximum including children, 2. absolutely no pets, 3. absolutely no smoking anywhere either inside the cottage or outside as the camp is tobacco free, 4. the parking area is about 90 yards from the cottage – you park and then walk toward the falls and then across the foot bridge in front of the falls and then up a path 5. two night minimum with some holidays requiring 3 niights. There are about 10 private cottages along the creek inside the 400 acre Methodist owned Camp Glisson Retreat Center. In the last week in May, June and July there are youth summer camp sessions from Sunday afternoon until Friday noon. The camp owns the falls, creek and hiking trails. We ask that guests give young campers their space while enjoying the outdoors during organized activities Sunday afternoon through Friday morning during the last week in May through July. Friday afternoon through Sunday morning during this period there are no children in camp, only the camp counselors. We have 2 exterior security camera aimed at the cottage door and the lower deck. There are no interior cameras. We turn the cameras on went the cottage is vacant. We turn on the cottage door camera until guests check in so we know they have arrived safely. We then turn it off.

We’ve rented several cabins in the North Georgia Mountains. This was by far the best. The Waterfall was so beautiful, the cabin was clean, beautiful and very comfortable. Each morning we woke up, looked right outside the cabin and seen at least 6 to 8 deer walking up a trail. We saw birds at the birdfeeder and several big squirrels. Wish we could have spent more time there and hopefully can return for another pleasant stay. Thanks for sharing your place with us. I would rate it a 10 out of 10. Wish we had a small wagon to get everything carried up to the cabin with less trips back and forth to the car.

Everything about the place was perfect. My son even said he could live here year round!

The location of this cabin in second to none, with your own personal waterfall 100 feet from your front door. The cabin is secluded, while at the same time only 5 mins from downtown Dahlonega, which looks straight out of a Hallmark movie. Our trip was fantastic!

The property was beautiful, as well as the falls. The walk with luggage and groceries and things like that were difficult from the parking lot across the foot bridge to the cabin. We did enjoy our stay.
5.0
We really enjoyed our stay here. It was private, quiet, and always had the relaxing background noise of the flowing water from Cane Creek Falls. We enjoyed its proximity to several good wineries and vineyards, and Dahlonega’s town square. Instructions and correspondence from the owners were proactive and we had no issues getting into the property or the rental. When we are in the area again we will absolutely look to see if it is available.

We came to the area for an event at the camp and was so excited to book this cabin. It literally was perfect. The cabin was cute, cozy, and comfortable. We spent probably 2 or 3 hours soaking up the sights and sound of the falls one morning.
If you are looking for beautiful surrounding and enjoyable living space, this is the place.
Also owner was very easy to communicate with, offered information freely, and gave clear instructions.
Highly recommend!!

Very nice 2 bedroom cabin facing Cane Creek Falls.
A/C, comfortable king sized bed, sofa & love seat. Because of the soothing sounds of the falls, we chose to stay there each evening and prepare our dinners there while enjoying wine & cheese.
So peaceful is this falls cabin property.
We will be back.

The cutest little cabin with the best backyard! Communication was great. The property managers were very helpful. This was my husband and I’s first vacation with our 10 month old (plus a babysitter) and this cabin was perfect for the four of us. Some things to note: you walk through the master bedroom to get to the second bedroom/ bathroom and screened in porch. This wasn’t a problem for us but make sure you actually like and are comfortable with people you’re staying with. Also if staying with very small children not having a washer/dryer on the property is not ideal. This is clearly stated in the description and is no fault of the owners but just not something that I thought of as a first time mom so I thought I would mention it in case there are any other moms of littles looking. Lol Overall, I would definitely stay here again and have recommended it to all of my friends and family.

The Cane Creek Waterfall is just steps from the front door. It is the most incredible VRBO location we have ever stayed.
The waterfall can be seen from both bedrooms, living room/front door, and screened in porch. My husband and daughter probably caught 40-50 trout in the 3 days we were there. (Catch and release, by the way)
The cabin is CLEAN so if you worry about germs, don't. Spotless. Immaculate. No bugs like in some cabins or wooded areas. No spider webs on the back porch (like we've experienced in other cabin rentals.)
Lots of HOT WATER in the showers. You never run out.
Everything is supplied. The owners have thought of everything.
No drawn out lists of check-out items. The only requirements are to wash your dishes and bring your trash to the dumpster on your way out of the property (super easy and not at all inconvenient). We have stayed at VRBOs that make you wash your own sheets. This check-out process was easy-peasy and a DREAM!
The owners are SUPER attentive, and we could not have been more pleased. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
If you have children, it is important to note that to get to their bedroom and bathroom, they have to walk through the master bedroom. Due to this, the master bedroom doors do not lock. So parents, if you are looking for "romantic time", you need to get creative. ;)
Location to town is an easy ride (not hilly or winding). About a 5 minute drive.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
ABSOLUTELY BOOK!
1,000% GORGEOUS AND UNFORGETTABLE!

Great location in Dahlonega. Easy to get to the wineries and downtown. Cabin had all the amenities needed for a great stay. Can’t beat the view and the screened in patio was great for relaxing. The walk from the parking to the cabin is easier than it seems. It was easy to get in and out of the camp grounds. Can’t say enough about the views and sounds from the falls.
Only recommendation would be having blackout curtains on the bedroom windows.

We just wanted to get away and relax for the weekend and this place couldn’t have been more perfect. The only sound you’ll hear, is the sound of the waterfall that is only a stones throw away. Everything you need to cook at the house or there is a great selection of restaurants 5 minutes away.

The warerfall is very close, maybe 100 yards from your front door. You could spend all day there. Access is very easy to the creek and waterfall. You cannot park close to the house. Was not a big deal to us, but there is a bit of a walk from a gravel lot, across a foot bridge, uphill on a trail to get to the house. Downtown is only like 8 minutes away. Great spot
5.0
My family and I had a wonderful time at this cabin. We made a small fire, grilled out with the sound of the falls, and just generally enjoyed hanging around the grounds. Great location as well, as it is very easy to access things to do such as downtown Dahlonega or get into nature at, say, Amicalola.

The cabin is positioned perfectly with gorgeous views of the waterfall and sounds that lull you to sleep at night. The cabin was the perfect size and layout for a family of 4. The hosts really thought of everything to make the stay comfortable. Every time we thought “I wish we had…”, we looked around and there it was! We also appreciated the access to hiking trails right outside our door. With two little ones, it was nice not to have to load up the truck to explore. There were events being hosted at the camp the same weekend, but the cabin still felt very private and undisturbed. We did need to reach out to Tim for a minor question during our stay and he was very responsive and communicative. We would absolutely recommend it!

There is no more superb location in GA than the Waterfall Cottage. We delighted each day in waking up to see out our front door not only the waterfall but the small birds taking their turn pecking seeds from the perfectly positioned bird feeder. The cabin is also masterfully appointed with small details like coffee beans and a grinder, and a grill with everything you would need to start cooking, and every kitchen tool you can inagine. And it's CLEAN. Thank you, Tim!

The owner provided great instructions for getting to the property and the location was pretty close to downtown. The kitchen was well stocked and I had no issues finding anything I needed for cooking. The view was excellent and I would certainly rent it again. Overall just a very nice, relaxing time.

Wow! Just wow! This is one of the most beautiful cabins cabins we have ever stayed in! Just the right size, fully stocked kitchen, and a natural setting with lots of hiking makes this the perfect place to stay! However, be aware that you park on the other side of the creek so you have to carry your luggage across the bridge and up the hill to the cabin. Bring a rolling cart to make this an easy proposition!

We appreciate knowing ahead of time about needing to walk to get the the house. We’re prepared. It was easy because all instructions were very clear. Waking up to the noice of the waterfall was like being in heaven. The porch was THE spot to have a nice cup of coffee provided by the host. I would definitely go back there.
