About this property

Foothills Family Retreat- Hot Tub/Playset/Fire Pit/7 bedrooms!

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.

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, whiffle ball, soccer, bocce, ping pong, and board games for those rainy days.

This cabin sleeps up to 16 people. It sits on seven acres 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.

Great time in the snow

We had a great time in the cabin - easy to get to and we had everything we needed while we were there. The host, Matt, was extremely quick to communicate and was very easy to work with- great place- would say that even in the summer, this place would be great because of location and accommodations!

Great mountain cabin

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.

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.

Great 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.

Great weekend stay.

We rented this cabin for family coming to town for our son’s wedding. Everything was awesome. Plenty of room for 16 of us to spread out and enjoy the cabin and property. Great communication for all processes and questions. Could not have been easier. Highly recommend.

Great place but squeaky bunk beds

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.

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!

Wonderful family memories made’

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!

50th Birthday celebration

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 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!

Why they chose this property


Why book this property? Because life isn’t about business or busyness, but things that last. Ten years from now, your family won’t remember a vacation where you sat in front of Netflix, or scrolled through Facebook 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 of life.

We designed this as a retreat away from it all, because we believe in simplicity. We also believe in competition. Families that play together stay together. That’s why we provide a volleyball court and horseshoe pit (and badminton, whiffle ball, soccer, bocce, and ping pong and board games for rainy days).

What makes this property unique

This cabin sleeps up to 16 guests (Please request the accurate number of guests in your group to get a quote). It sits on a seven acre tract with one other 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. This cabin has a very quiet and peaceful setting, on a quiet road with a few small farms and houses in the area. Lots of deer and other wildlife inhabit the area.
White Dog Farm, which offers horse back riding lessons, is only a quarter mile down the road.
