I will be Back!!!!
I recently enjoyed a weekend getaway at this lovely cabin with friends. The house was clean, spacious, and well-equipped. James, the owner, was super friendly and made us feel right at home. The cabin has everything you need—cups, dishes, pots, pans, you name it! There are two rooms on the first floor: one with a single bed and another with two beds, both with their own bathrooms. The second floor doesn’t have specific rooms but includes a powder room. While the cabin can sleep up to 10 people, it might not be ideal if everyone wants their own room. We split our group into girls and boys, which worked out fine. There’s a gas grill inside and an outdoor fire pit with a grill. We were excited to use the outdoor fire pit but ran into a couple of issues. First, there were three big dogs from the neighbors that made it tricky to drive out and grill outside. The dogs were friendly, but their size was a bit intimidating. Second, the grass was quite tall, making it hard to walk. Despite these minor issues, the fire pit area was well-maintained with plenty of chairs. I’d love to return in winter when the grass isn’t an issue and hopefully no dogs are around. As mentioned in the description, a bigger car is definitely better. I had a Tesla Model 3 as a loaner, and it was super challenging to drive in and out. Friends with sedans had a tough time too, but SUVs were fine. Overall, it was a great stay, and I’m looking forward to returning in different seasons.

Beautiful home!
I had a fairly large group doing an off road motorcycld trip and this was one of the few places that could accommodate for one night. What a fantastic place! Special touches and welcome to the property was superb, house was clean, and had everything we needed. Greeted at the house and given a tour to show us around as well.

Family accommodations for a Dahlonega Wedding
Love this place. Very well appointed and clean. Every detail was thought out about this place. This is a huge convenience and we appreciated being able to drop in and relax. Our whole family enjoyed the privacy of the rooms/bathrooms and the central gathering spaces to visit with coffee in hand for the morning, or gathering around the living room for the evening. Thank you James for all you did to make our weekend a memorable one.

Off the grid - Highly recommend.
The house is beautiful and spacious. It easily accommodated our party of 8. We were visiting for an event at Iron Mountain Park. The house was 20 mins from venue and downtown Dahlonega, GA. Will stay again if we visit the area.

Great Visit!
James was so fantastic! He met us at the property to show us around, and was so hospitable. The only thing that I would’ve changed is that it could have been a tiny bit cleaner (random hairs in sinks), and the drive way was terrible. Definitely need a 4 wheel drive vehicle. Overall, beautiful property and great host!

Great retreat getaway
A very welcoming retreat in the beautiful north Georgia mountains area. It was unique to find a home with enough beds for our 8 ladies that we didn't have to share a bed or climb up into a bunk bed. The home was clean and as described in the listing. In fact, seeing the home in person looked even nicer than the photos! The kitchen has 3 ovens and upscale appliances for anyone wanting to cook. It would be a great location for a family Thanksgiving gathering. There is plenty of parking if people are driving separately. We highly recommend Off The Grid Lodge!

Perfect mountain getaway close to Dahlonega & Hwy 400
This was a perfect cabin for our group of 9. It is furnished better than many others. The hosts were quick to respond, informative, and very thorough while making sure everything was ready for us. The cabin is a quick drive to wineries as well as Dahlonega & Dawsonville's shopping and restaurants. We had a wonderful stay and plan to visit again. Thank you James for all of your help in planning a great ladies' getaway.

A little glimpse of heaven on earth.
We needed a quiet place away from the hustle and bustle to reboot and spend quality time as family. This cabin is just the place. We had everything we needed to make our family meals and the large dining table was excellent for game nights. Even with the cold nights outside the large fireplace inside was perfect for snuggles and making great memories. We recommend OTG for any family or friends that need to reboot, reflect and make lasting memories. ~ Heaven on Earth

Fabulous Thanksgiving!
I can’t say enough about our stay, it was wonderful. James is a great host. There were so many thoughtful touches all throughout the house. We took kitchen items because we have never stayed somewhere that had everything that we needed to prepare a full Thanksgiving meal. The kitchen had everything we needed and more! Everything was so comfortable and clean. The house is very unique and has a really neat history. Dahlonega is such a quaint little town and we look forward to visiting again and staying at this house. Thank you to James!

Host profile image

Why they chose this property

We liked this house because of its natural and unique style; a Verner original that seemed to have roots. It is made for family and reconnecting with nature. Verner was a unique man, the Old Buzzard, who had no fear of hard work. His famous grandson learned his craft of woodworking from the influence of this grandfather. We picked up where he left off to transform The Buzzard's Roost into Off The Grid Lodge to continue a unique experience for generations to enjoy; for you to enjoy.

What makes this property unique

The property is located close to many attractions in the North Georgia Mountains, yet private and secluded enough to feel you are truly Off The Grid.
