It was important to my husband to have s place to accommodate our whole family since we don’t know how many more family vacations he’ll be around. We had 8 adults and 5 little boys 4 and under. The house was perfect with plenty of room for all of us. The views are gorgeous and the home is nicely appointed. We will definitely be back!!

This was our first family trip to the north GA mountains and we thoroughly enjoyed this peaceful getaway from the city. The home was everything that my four kids needed to avoid boredom and was convenient to the nearby places we wanted to visit (Amicalola Falls, Blue Ridge). Having the outdoor fireplace and pit available for hanging out and making s'mores under the beautiful night sky was everything! The biggest plus for me was that we were in the mountains and there were no bugs/spiders in our living space. We heard many of the surrounding animals and wildlife in the distance but never laid eyes on a bear or snake. Win!

This home was absolutely wonderful! The photos depict it perfectly. We had more than enough room for our family of four and both mine and my husband’s parents. This was seriously one of the cleanest and most well-equipped homes I’ve ever rented! It’s obvious every detail was thought out with intentionality. The adults had a nice time on the first floor chatting after meals and my 16 year-old son really enjoyed escaping downstairs for some quiet time in the game room 😂. The deck was perfect and peaceful as well. Highly recommend!

We loved this place! We enjoyed the beautiful view, the spacious home, the fireplaces, the comfortable beds and the well stocked kitchen. Special touches such as hair towel wraps and sound machines were a plus! It’s an easy drive up without steep roads or a steep driveway yet you still get a great view of the mountains. Lovely hiking options close by and we liked watching the goats that came by on their daily walks. Would definitely return here!

This home was perfect for our little family vacation. The home had everything we needed and we loved hanging out around the outside fireplaces. Beautiful views and beautiful home! We will definitely stay here again!
