About this cabin rental

Nestled in Lake Lanier, this attractive cabin for $334 per night is a fantastic choice for your next break. Rustic farmhouse in a rural setting on 4 acres. Tons of space to run and play. We are laid back, fun-loving people. We rent to other laid-back, fun-loving people. If you are uptight, grumpy or looking for reasons to complain we are not the place for you. If you love nature, want to experience farm life, understand that while we try to make everything perfect things can still happen and that's okay with you then book our place and have a fun time at the farm! A-frame farmhouse with tons of space to play and upgraded interiors. Convenient to Chateau Elan, Lake Lanier, Road Atlanta and Mall of Georgia. The farm has two horses that live on the property, a giant fire pit (located in horse pasture), outdoor seating areas, bridges and streams. Please note, Hall County Georgia charges a 5% Tourist Fee along with the State of Georgia 7% Sales Tax which you will see listed as a Management Fee...this fee is paid directly to the state and county. Entire home and 4 acres of pasture and nature (horses are on adjacent property pasture). Our horse caretaker stops into the property throughout the day to feed and water horses. Caretaker will never bother guests or enter the property, they are there simply to keep the horses alive:) Rural setting nearby several cities including Gainesville, GA. Private, peaceful and serene. You will definitely want to bring a car. Tons of space for parking, wifi, Netflix and Dish, outdoor seating, three bed and bath, beautiful bridges and streams for pictures. Parties or events not allowed. ANY party held on the property will result in eviction and loss of deposit. Pets allowed only with a pre-approval (pet fee charged based on size/number of pet(s). Hot tub available (usually cleaned on Tuesdays but may vary), depending on when guests check-in and out hot tub might be in between cleans upon arrival. Hot tub cleaning company cleans and chemically treats tub once a week (can be used immediately after treating FYI). The schedule may vary based on the weather. Here's the scoop-we ask our guests to please rinse off prior to using the tub and to please close the cover so that leaves/dirt don't fly in overnight. Most guests follow the rules, but some do not..we have NO control over that. That means if the guest before you used the tub and did not rinse off and you check-in prior to the next weekly cleaning, there may be sand/leaves/hair in tub. If you would like the hot tub cleaned the day of your arrival we can arrange that for a drop in cleaning fee of $100 but this MUST be scheduled at least two weeks in advance. We recommend this if you know you are a bit obsessive about things like this...but for those less worried just know the tub will be chemically clean even if there is a little sand in the bottom. Provided: 3 rolls toilet paper per bathroom, hand soap, dish soap (small bottle), 1 roll paper towels, 1 trash bag per bin, 3 dish soaps and three laundry pods. Pets must be disclosed and pet fee paid within 2 days of booking. Events (weddings, etc) must pay additional event fee and contact host prior to booking. Events require additional insurance (purchased by guests), waivers, fees and contracts. NO house parties or parties with underage drinking. Allowed events (with paid event fee and additional contract): small weddings, reunions, team building. ANY event that happens without prior approval from host will result in eviction, forefeiture of all payments and security deposit. Guests must rinse before using hot tub. Guests getting sand, dirt and/or hair in hot tub must clean prior to departure so that the next guest can enjoy the tub (or pay additional hot tub cleaning fee of $100). Hot tub is cleaned weekly on Tuesdays (weather dependent) so please respect this so that all guests can enjoy the hot tub. Guests will be required to provide a photo ID and credit card for security deposit ($500). Security deposit is a pre-authorization (please note, if you use a debit card to book you will see a "pending charge of $500 on your account and will not have access to those funds until hold is released a few days after check out. For credit cards you likely won't see anything unless you actually had damage/rule violations), not an actual charge, unless there is damage or missing items. Authorization is removed within 48 hours of check-out. This is a non-smoking unit-we don't care what you smoke, just do it outside. Any smoke smell in home or evidence of smoking in home will result in complete loss of security deposit. If you smoke in the home, it both is unfair to the owner that is working hard to keep their unit nice and to the next guest that rented a smoke-free home. This is non-negotiable so please understand. We have our cleaners thoroughly clean and sanitize the home between each guest. We also ask our guests to please do the following at check-out (note, if this upsets you please simply find another location as there is a massive labor shortage, we frequently have guests ask for early or late check-in/out and this is how we are able to make things smooth for all guests. Please note our check out instructions-these are things we ask you to do but if doing these things upsets you then by all means, don't do them, you're on vacation and we just want you to have a great time. These items simply help things run smoothly so that we can accommodate early check-ins and late check-outs (and keep unwanted bugs and such out of the home): 1. Put used linens in a pile. 2. Turn off all lights, fans can be left on. 3. Turn off TVs, coffee makers and other electronics. 4. All dishes should either be cleaned or put into dishwasher and start dishwasher cycle. This is to avoid dishes getting crusty and attracting bugs. 5. Please load one load of towels into washing machine and start if you have time. 6. Return any books, games, etc. 7. Empty any outdoor ashtrays, clean up any cigarette butts. 8. Empty all food from refrigerator. 9. Make sure keys are left in lockbox ($50 per key replacement) 10. Wipe down countertops and leave home the way you found it. 11. Turn A/C to 78 degrees prior to departure. 12. Drive or fly home safely and come back and see us soon! We don't charge a security deposit but instead a small damage waiver which will cover up to $2500 in damage no questions asked. Please note, damage waiver does not cover smoke in house...so please make certain you smoke whatever you smoke outside not near doors/windows. Smoke in unit will result in eviction and a $500 charge to card on file. Please just don't do it. Damage Waiver Disclaimer: I.

We booked this as it fit our needs and was close to Road Atlanta race track. Found it comfortable and calming set in the woods. Had several interactions with Carla, the property manager. She is responsive and helpful. Due to the weather and time at the track we didn't get to spend a lot of time outside. We would go back!

The house is great: 3 floors, 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms. Nice sitting areas insideandoutside. Kitchen works, but watch your head & bring your own skillet. Too hot to use the hot tub. We enjoyed AC inside. Even though they said they knocked them down before we arrived, spiders & webs were all over the porch areas, stairs, & chairs. We really had to watch where we walked. (Took a broom to them & they did not reappear the next day.) After our 3 night stay, we went straight to a car wash to be sure we didn’t travel with them. They are interesting, but very encroaching creatures! Be forewarned: The day of checkout, we were charged $500! They said it was for any damage done & was "just pending". However, no mention of this was made in any communication we had online. Also, there are 3 points of contact- Vrbo, the owner, & the caretaker. It was a bit confusing. It's furnished well (except the bed in basement sinks in the middle). TV works well. Nice gas stove. They've made the most of the square footage. Horses were pretty to see. It's peaceful that way, just needs regular maintenance especially outdoors.

Tucked back among the trees this precious A frame house is a charmer. Enjoyed the hot tub it was very clean and was able to feed the horses. Loved watching them graze. We did not cook in this house, but it looked well equipped. 3 bedrooms one on each level. Only one bedroom can be accessed without using stairs. House is clean and we enjoyed the peace and quite. Would stay here again.

The place was great. We loved the horses, land, comfortable beds, organized kitchen, big hot tub, fire pit, company and exactly what we needed in the kitchen. If we all had wished for something more …. It would have been some sunshine…. Since that did not happen we wish that the areas in the pictures that looked covered…. We wish one had a solid roof so we could be outside in rain and still be dry. Place was truly awesome for our needs. Thank you! Loved it

We had such a lovely time! We picked this location for its secluded nature and its dog-friendliness. We were not disappointed! We enjoyed spending most of our time on-property. Our dogs had a BIG time running through the woods, the hot tub was lovely, and the property manager was very friendly, communicative, and promptly resolved a tiny issue we had. The bed was comfortable and the kitchen was lovely. Wifi was really good! My partner had to work for a day and take a video call with great speeds. Huge plus! Regarding other reviewers’ mentions of a long list of rules—the only rules we read were meant to keep people and animals safe. Some mentioned things that are common sense for people who live with them (like living on a septic tank—there are some reasonable considerations there) but wouldn’t be common sense for people who are not. We found the rules entirely reasonable, the owners’ welcome letter warm and personable, and were so grateful with the care and concern they clearly take for each guest and all their animals. We would highly recommend this property for romance, remote working, and puppies, and would certainly stay again!

The property itself was fine. However, as soon as we reserved, we started getting emails from third party entities that owned and/or managed the property: Salty Dog Vacations and Whiskey Barrel Farmhouse. I am used to getting direct texts or emails from the owner. An attempt was made to charge us a second pet fee through one of these third party entities. I had to forward the original reservation to the owner to show that I had already paid. Check in time on VRBO was listed as 3:00 PM; third party entity tried to change it to 4:00PM and charge an extra fee. We received an almost 3 page list of do's and don'ts which made us nervous to do anything while there. We received multiple emails about check out time, both the day before leaving, and that morning, also stating we would be charged extra if we left late. So we were very rushed trying to get out in time-left 2 items, one of which was of sentimental value. Through multiple communications with the caretaker who live across the street-I finally had to send a prepaid box to her; and still it was over a week after that before she put the items in her mailbox. We did not receive the items until 5 weeks later.

This is a cozy house perfect for our group consisting of 3 couples. There is a bedroom & bathroom on each of the three floors. This allowed for separation and privacy. The kitchen was a nice gathering area for breakfast and for chatting. The property is secluded and quiet. There are 2 horses. We saw deer and a heron. After we checked in the manager/ care taker of the property was quick to respond to our requests.
