This is directed to John: Thank you for thinking of my family’s safety and well being during the worse possible circumstances.The place was extremely clean, cared for and welcoming. We have only had this experience like this, once in our many visits to the area.It had lots of space. In fact, for a cabin so cozy, there was a lot of space inside.Rooms were great, beds comfy and the outside area was exactly how we saw it pictured. The location is close to everything, the ride to it was not treacherous and it being nestled in the mountain, with a small river out back made it so peaceful. Loved it so much that on our last day we were planning our next trip back.Now, about the reason for my message to John. On the morning of December29th, the power went out. We did not think much of it as we contacted John to let him know. Since the power hadn’t come back when we got back, John got very concerned as the temps were supposed to drop below 20 degrees. At night John came to us with a power bank, LED lights, and space heaters for our safety. I can’t explain how much that meant. Power came back as he was explaining how to use them.Let’s understand that this is the middle of the forest and windy…power goes out at times.If I was to be nit-picky, the internet was spotty. Honestly, that didn’t detract from our experience, as seldom is the internet great in the middle of the mountain. Also, I didn’t get any work done…oh no, so sad! LOLJohn, I’ll see you soon!

100% perfection! Communication with host was easy. Cottage was fully stocked with everything we needed. Planned our meals ahead of time, picked up groceries on the way, & the kitchen had what we needed to cook them. A filtered water pitcher & carafe was waiting in the fridge, along with bottled water. Coffee maker uses K-cups (which we didn’t bring), but host provides a great variety of K-cups & hot teas.Plenty of super soft, absorbent bath towels for all 7 of us, & more than enough hot water for back-to-back showers. We loved that the toilet & shower were separate from the bathroom sinks, it made getting ready much easier. A hairdryer was provided, along with full-size shampoo & body wash.Each bedroom has a ceiling fan, comfy beds, & plenty of space for our stuff. The two separate living areas were perfect: the kids took the downstairs & loved their own space & outdoor balcony, while the upstairs open-concept living, dining, & kitchen area made it easy to spend time together. The dining table was perfect for games. The back porch quickly became a favorite spot to gather & listen to the creek, & the kids even went down to get their feet wet. There’s also a washer & dryer, though we didn’t use them.Only 2 minor “downsides”: slightly bumpy driveway (easy to manage if you drive slowly) & no TVs in the bedrooms-not an issue for us.Overall, I’d rate this cottage a 15/10. Everything was exactly as described, it was still decorated for Christmas, & we can’t wait to go back!

The house was really nice and new. Very clean. The porches are awesome if the weather is nice.

I had an incredible stay at this riverside house in the heart of the North Georgia mountains. The location alone is worth the trip you’re literally steps from the river, surrounded by peaceful mountain views, and it feels like a private escape from everything.The house was spotless, cozy, and well equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Waking up to the sound of the river and enjoying morning coffee on the deck was honestly the highlight of my trip. The hosts clearly put a lot of thought into the details, from the comfortable bedding to the easy check-in process.If you’re looking for a quiet, relaxing getaway with beautiful scenery and a true cabin-in-the-mountains atmosphere, this is the perfect place. I’ll definitely be coming back!
