About this cabin rental
Our Foothills Family Retreat was designed with families and large groups in mind. The wheelchair-accessible cabin is pet-friendly (pet fee applies*) and work-friendly and features a hot tub, playground, volleyball court, fire pit, ping pong table, over 1100 sf of covered porch space and more. The cabin is located in Lumpkin County, near Dahlonega, and is also convenient to Cleveland, Helen, and many popular wineries and wedding venues. This cabin has a very quiet, peaceful setting, and White Dog Farm, which offers horseback riding lessons, is only a quarter mile down the road. Whether you’re here for a reunion or a retreat or just to sit by the fire roasting marshmallows after a day of hiking, this is the place for you. Life isn’t about business or busyness, but things that last. Ten years from now, your family won’t remember a vacation where you watched Netflix or scrolled through social media on your phone. Your family will remember the fish they caught, the hike they went on, the tubing trip down the river. They will remember when you slowed down and enjoyed the simple pleasures in life. We designed this cabin as a retreat away from it all, because we believe in simplicity. We also believe families that play together, stay together. That’s why we provide a volleyball court and horseshoe pit, as well as badminton, wiffle ball, soccer, bocce, ping pong, and board games for those rainy days. This cabin sleeps up to 16 people. It sits on a seven-acre tract with another smaller cabin on the other side of the property, which can be booked for up to six additional guests. The playground and volleyball court are shared access with the other cabin. Guests have access to the entire cabin, and I am available as needed. To get a better understanding of the property, watch our video tour: https://youtu.be/YnPviDmZMYE Same-day bookers: Do not book for the current night without confirming the unit is available and ready for check-in. Long stays: If your stay is longer than 10 days, extra fees may apply. Please inquire before booking. Property Notes: - There is one security camera facing the dumpster. - Kayaks and paddles pictured are free to use. Safety equipment and transportation is not provided. No navigable water on property. Frequently Asked Questions: Q: Are you pet-friendly? A: *There is a pet fee for all pets that are not service animals. The pet fee is $100 plus tax for the first pet, and $75 plus tax for each additional pet. This fee includes up to 3 nights. After 3 nights, there is an additional fee of $20 per pet per night plus tax. The tax rate is 16%. The first pet will be included in your booking total if you select "Pets" when booking (only for stays up to 3 nights). Please let us know about any additional pets right after you book and we will charge your payment method before your stay. We handle additional pets manually so pet fees are more affordable for guests. Q: What if I accidentally damage something? A: There is a $37 damage protection waiver included in the base rate for this property. It covers guests for up to $750 in accidental damages, if the guest reports damage that happens during their stay. Intentional damage, unreported damage, or anything exceeding $750 will be charged to the guest's payment method. Q: Is there a fee for extra guests?

Late checkouts are generally not available, but if we are able to make an exception, the fee is $30 per hour. Q: How do I check in? A: The address will be sent to you at the time of your booking, and your check-in information will be sent to you two days out from your stay. Q: I thought I saw a different booking price the other day. Why did the price change? A: This listing uses a dynamic pricing algorithm; prices are updated daily. Additionally, although we have a strict cancellation policy, we offer travelers insurance if you're worried you may have to cancel your trip for any reason. Guest Protect Travel Insurance (G-330CSA) - Insurance Premium: 6.95% of total price Note: These insurance options are invoiced manually after booking if requested by message and are not included in the booking total.

We absolutely loved the outside playground, creek, fire pit and open space! There was enough room for everyone to enjoy the outdoors and activities near the cabin. The rental company was fabulous to work with and we had no issues or concerns.

Very clean, spacious and comfortable cabin. We regret not having time to use the fire pit but made good use of the back porch during our two-night stay.

I was looking for something last last minute and came across the beauty of a property. Everything about this place is great, but my favorite feature was the back porches. There was plenty of room for every one, cooking utensils, and even a volley ball set up in the back yard. Overall it was a great experience and stay will definitely run it back soon.

The cabin was perfect for our family.
The porch with the rocking chairs every morning and evening was so peaceful. There was a neighborhood dog that brought us so much joy! The place was exactly where we needed to be to accommodate friends and family to attend our daughter's wedding at Willow Creek Farm.

We had an amazing time with family celebrating my husband’s 50th birthday. The cabin was everything we wanted it to be. The kids loved the playground and field and surrounding creek! We grilled out, built a fire every night, enjoyed soaking in the hot tub, and relaxed all weekend. We will definitely be back!

We had a great time at this cabin! It was very clean and the photos and listing were accurate. We do wish there was one more bathroom, but we made it work even with 10 people staying in the house. The property was spacious and well appointed.

We loved our stay at Matt’s cabin. We got married down the road at Neverland farms over the weekend and had our friends stay here for easy transport to the venue! The house is amazing and has so much space for large groups! So many spaces for people to gather. We truly enjoyed our time here! Thank you!

Love the house, location, cleanliness, fire pit and kitchen. Only downside was the bunk beds squeak loudly with any movement. If you are a sound sleeper or a small child likely not a problem but our group, made up of full grown adults, struggled a bit with sleeping thru the noise.

This house was perfect for my husband’s retirement celebration with our multi generational family of 15 people ages 2-60 somethings. What a beautiful location in the Georgia foothills! The property iwas very clean and comfortable for all. . We cooked most nights and ate dinner on the spacious deck overlooking the property. The kids loved the playground in the back yard as well as the farms next door, across the street and down the street with chickens, horses, cows, and ponies. They loved skipping stones in the creek and catching fireflies at night as well as roasting marshmallows and making S’Mores. WiFi was good for our adult children who were able to work remotely. We loved the area and did some easy hikes in local state parks abounding with waterfalls and natural beauty. Both Helen and Dahlonega are easy drives and fun places to spend a day. We wholeheartedly recommend this wonderful property!

Matt is wonderful! The home and amenities are great. The whole family enjoyed the trip. From the youngest one (8) to the oldest person who was over 70. Everyone found something to do and had a great time. I was worried about the family making too much noise and we never heard anything from Matt or the neighbors. Thank you again for a wonderful stay. My mother was able to have a beautiful 50th birthday celebration.

Amazing property!
I would stay here again in a heartbeat! We traveled with three families for a Quaranteam Friendsgiving. This cabin was absolutely PERFECT! We had seven children (ages 5-12) and six adults. The property itself is amazing; the playground alone was worth the trip! Our kids spent most of the time playing outside, running around, and just enjoying the open space! The cabin was clean and the double washer/dryer set up was perfect with so many kids!
The fire pit was equally as amazing and the cabin, itself, is stocked with just about everything you need to make this your home base for a week.
Communication with Matt and Christy was seamless and easy. They were quick to answer any questions leading up to our stay as well as during. I'm already trying to figure out when we can make the trip back with our extended family! You definitely won't be disappointed!

What an amazing stay, nestled in the mountains amongst several farms with cows and horses, awakened by roosters in the mornings was exactly what our group of family and friends needed. The cabin and property was clean an ready to be used upon our arrival and was just as described. We loved it. The property manager answered all my questions and was very helpful. I would highly recommend this location, and would stay again myself.
