Lovely Cabin

This is a lovely location and beautiful scenery. The owners live in the property and are extremely accommodating. This was a quiet getaway for us and it did not disappoint. The weather was terrible but we enjoyed the quiet. Will definitely return to do some hiking around the property. Awesome place to stay.

Blueberry Shoals is a gem!

Not only was Blueberry Shoals clean, well-appointed and cozy, it was nestled perfectly in a peaceful setting yet conveniently located to all Dahlonega has to offer! This guest home has everything you could want - great furnishings, anything you could need in the kitchen, AND fluffy towels! Step out onto the deck and surround yourself in nature; explore the property - there’s so much to see! Owners Britt and Donna were the most amazing hosts, responsive in every way and always willing to help or make a recommendation. We were treated to a tour of the property which was a gift in and of itself. They even share the family pets with you if you’re so inclined to give them a few belly rubs and pets! The hosts were gracious and generous - such a blessing! Highly recommend - if you’re thinking of staying an extra night, do it! You won’t be disappointed!

Wonderful Experience!!

My husband and I had such an enjoyable and relaxing stay at Blueberry Shoals! The hosts were just superb! Little tour of the property by Britt and the friendly dogs. Very clean accommodations. The continental breakfast was so thoughtful and kind. Our little gift mugs were just adorable! We had fun doing a little site seeing at the Gold Museum then ran across a fudge shop which was a weakness for me. We enjoyed sitting out and just taking in nature and watching the flowing river. Definitely would do it all over again.

New Years in N Georgia

We had an awesome experience at Blueberry Shoals!! Britt and Donna were absolutely wonderful hosts! I can’t say enough about them and their property. From a hearty welcome with gifts and snacks to breakfast, we couldn’t have asked for more. Property was located far enough from Dalonagah but close enough to enjoy. Amenities were awesome and we can’t wait to go back!!! Overall extremely impressed!!

You want to stay here!!

I can’t say enough good things about this property or it’s owners! You will not be disappointed. This lovely cabin is tucked into the woods, it’s quiet, peaceful and beautiful. The owners have thought of everything to make their guests feel at home. We did not need or want for anything but if we did I’m sure they would have had it there. I enjoyed the stories/history of the cabin and chatting with Britt and Donna. Not only great hosts but just outstanding people. We had some car trouble while there and Britt and Donna were so gracious to help us get back on the road safely. The only thing I didn’t like was having to leave! Thank you for making my birthday trip so wonderful!

Lovely place in North Georgia!

We spent one night at Blueberry Shoals. We were in Dahlonega for a winery event. Our check in process was seamless and the owner communicated with us regarding arrival time and asked us what we might like for breakfast. The place was well equipped with some coffee and all the necessities for a light breakfast. We loved the bread that was left for us for some morning toast. Lovely location which is somewhat secluded. We would have wanted to walk around and explore a little but the weather did not cooperate. We would definitely stay here again when we are back in the area.

This is probably one of the cleanest places I have ever stayed. The amenities the property offers were wonderful. The welcome goodies were awesome. The property owners live on site but they gave us our privacy. The owners were wonderful people. We will be back.

Charming Log Cabin Retreat

The unit lives up to its description in the listing, offering everything promised. While the pictures initially display a single drip coffee maker, I was pleasantly surprised to find a versatile coffee maker that accommodates both ground coffee and Keurig cups. The hosts even provided some coffee, adding a thoughtful touch to my stay. The cabin itself is a charming three-level retreat, with stairs leading down to the cozy bedroom and up to the inviting living room area. As I explored the unit and its surroundings, I discovered a myriad of captivating art pieces. Each day held a delightful surprise, as I stumbled upon something new that piqued my interest. This ever-changing artistic landscape truly enhanced my experience. The hosts, residing in a separate house on-site, surpassed my expectations and became the epitome of exceptional VRBO hosts. Their warm hospitality and attentiveness made me feel truly welcomed and well-cared for throughout my stay. Their presence and dedication added an extra layer of comfort and convenience to the overall experience. Nestled on a wooded property, the cabin is a hidden gem surrounded by natural beauty. Marked trails meander through the enchanting landscape, revealing not only the serene tranquility of nature but also stunning artwork that adorns the trails and fire pit areas. Despite the property's modest size, the rolling hills turned my morning walks into both an invigorating workout and a serene way to embrace the start of each day.

Wonderful peaceful getaway!

Beautiful property as described. Outstanding host and hostess, aided by Ruby and Mildred, their dogs who checked in with us regularly! Way back in the foothills but close enough to town that it was convenient to get out. Wonderful walking trails on the property going right down to the river, though some trails are steep so recommend good hiking shoes and a walking stick. Absolutely loved the place!

Beautiful Property!

I stayed with my husband and 8-year-old son for a weekend in Dahlonega, and it was a lovely property! Just exploring the grounds with its river-/creekside paths was a great way to get outdoors in a quiet setting. The apartment is on property with the owners’ main house, but the way I the buildings are situated provided plenty of privacy. We even spent evenings porch sitting without ever seeing the owners. But when we did (check in) they were a delight! They equipped the apartment with unexpected little amenities that made our stay more comfortable: not just coffee filters, but an assortment of coffees and to-go cups for check out day. Co time tap breakfast. Bottled waters. We could tell the hosts really enjoyed making their guests feel welcome. We loved our stay and will be back! It’s an easy drive to the downtown square and UNG!

Quaint little cabin in the woods

Quaint little place with nice walking trails throughout the woods with lots of places to sit and absorb the nature. The owners live directly next door and I'm sure would be available if you needed anything. My wife is gluten-free and they even made a special trip to the store to leave gluten-free bread for the continental breakfast. Britt and Donna will definitely go out of their way to make you feel welcome.

We came to Dahlonega for the weekend to watch her son play baseball at UNG. Although we didn't get to explore the area, we wanted a weekend in the mountains and we got it!! The property was lovely and we enjoyed our morning coffe on the deck as we listened to the river, birds and wind chimes. Britt and Mildred (their sweet pup) gave us a tour of the property and made us feel welcome! Britt and Donna are lovely hosts and left us breakfast and an amazing coffee bar! We WILL be back!!
