Cold Treatment

Upon arriving to the property (Dec 21 and staying 6 nights), after an eight-hour drive, there was no heat. It is a 4-bedroom home with huge glass windows in the living room. We called the owners immediately who simply said "sorry" and told us to drive another 30-minutes to the nearest Walmart and buy space heaters. WOW. The never once offered reimbursement. My husband (having had rotator cuff surgery two weeks prior) climbed down the side of the hill at the owner's request to check the amount of gas on property. We were without heat two nights. Luckily, a repair man showed up on day three, just in time as the rest of our family arrived that evening. I am appalled that we were told to buy space heaters and were not reimbursed for anything else. Though the property was cute and quiet, I would not rent again. The owners live too far away to properly maintain the property. There is a long list of things that need repair in the home. It certainly was not worth 3600. We left one day early.

Christmas together

The house was the perfect location for our family. We were coming from Alabama, Georgia and N.C.. The kitchen had everything we needed, the house was clean and inviting. There was plenty of room to spread out and play games, that they had there. Outside there was a play set that our 2 yr. old loved! And a fire pit. While we there we went hiking, shopping and to a wonderful walking Christmas light show that was only $8 for adults and free for children. Santa was there for pictures. The owner kept us informed of a town maintenance problem that could effect us, which didn't. All in all, we had a fantastic time, the area was beautiful and the house was a great place to have fun with our family.

Exceeded our expectations

We absolutely loved our stay. The home was much larger than the pictures show. Our kids are already planning on bringing multiple friends with them next year as the home could easily accommodate 10 plus people without a problem. The hosts were amazing and paid attention to all of the little details. They provided everything that you need. There were plenty of trash bags, paper towels, toilet paper, dishwasher and laundry detergent, shampoo, coffee and kitchen basics. The views were great and the home is nice and secluded. There was a grocery store and lots of restaurants within 5-10 minutes. We used this home as a great starting point for hiking North Georgia, Tennessee and North Carolina as there are a lot of great waterfalls in the area. I would highly recommend this home to anyone looking to stay in North Georgia.

Wonderful At-Home Experience !

Very accommodating owners and helpful when we asked questions. The house is very large and each family had their own space without having to share bedrooms with other families. The kitchen was well stocked and supplied with kitchenware, dishes, small appliances, spices, etc. The house is close to downtown but out far enough that you feel like you are in the country. This was our second time staying here and we plan to come back again.

Great for family get together!

We had a nice early Thanksgiving with our family comprising of 7 adults. The kitchen was well stocked and appreciated all the labeling of where everything was located as well as which light switch controlled which lights. Cute themed decor for the rooms. Quinn was great with communicating with us and answered our questions quickly. The grounds were pretty and appreciated the driveway cleared of leaves for easy access. We appreciated being able to bring our dogs along as well.

Family Vacation

We had all age ranges staying in the property including 7 kids ranging from 1.5 - 13 years old. There were lots of board games and the kids had a lot of fun playing in the playground and with the foosball table. The kitchen had all sorts of spices and supplies. We went to an orchard, hiking to some waterfalls and to the town if Helen. We also took the kids bowling in Murphy, NC. We had a great time.

Great property but lacking towels

Excellent property and great location. Only concern is we booked for 10 people and there were only 9 bath towels available for use and 4 rolls of toilet paper. Hopefully this will be remedied for future stays.

Mountain Top Family Connections

We had a marvelous time as a family enjoying this property. With two bedrooms downstairs and two bedrooms upstairs it worked out very well to give everyone their own space. The house and the property outside are very well-maintained and the owner is extremely responsive to all questions. The kitchen was well stocked as was the laundry area. I had really hoped to use the fire pit as it is a beautiful area! There is a screened in porch area out back that we didn’t get use but would on future visits. There is also a beautiful entertainment room next to the fire pit that appears to be in the process of becoming a useable space. I look forward to hopefully returning and enjoying these nice amenities.

We rented this house and 2 others for our family reunion. The house is beautiful and very clean. The owners were very responsive and accommodating. I would use this house again. The loft is as described, I made the mistake of thinking it would be a bit more private but it is not. Good spot for kids to sleep.

A great place in the sky.

The property was great overall. The beds could use some improvement, there were no TVs in most of the bedrooms and it would have been nice to be able to access the lower kitchen (or at least have water access in the grill area). But other than those items, it was a great place for family and very comfortable with things to do while there!

We had a lovely time at this house1 The numbers on the key pad to get in the house were all faded so it took a couple of tries to get in. Sheets in the downstairs beds didn't smell clean so I put them in the wash- not saying they weren't clean, I may be picky... The kitchen was very well equipped, fireplaces and TVs all worked well. Great fire pit for lots of S'mores! Lots of hiking around the area, which we loved! Easy to reach owner.

Great home for large family gathering!

This is a great older home in need of a little TLC but accommodated our large family. The cleaning crew could have done a better job on the kitchen but overall it was clean. We found a few problems, which we addressed with the owner. The grill was totally unusable but thankfully we brought our Traeger. The ice and water in the refrigerator were broken but the owner has a new refrigerator on order. The other things were minor and didn’t affect our stay. The house is currently closed for the winter and the owner plans to fix the issues while it’s closed. On the plus side, the master bathroom is amazing. The dual shower heads made for a wonderful experience. The fire pit is wonderful and we enjoyed several fires. The children enjoyed the swing set. The views from the yard are beautiful. The best part for us was the snow on Christmas Eve and Day. Overall, I wouldn’t hesitate to rent this house again. We had a wonderful time and made some great memories!

About the host

Hosted by Ernie & Quinn Phelps

Host profile image
We are a happy couple with many hobbies and passions, including making jewelry. Betty is a business analyst for a financial software company. Ernie is a software consultant. We have several pets and enjoy seeing pictures of our guests with their pets on the grounds of the house.

Why they chose this property

Many of our vacations have been spent in the Hiawassee area. We enjoy going to the William Holland jewelry school and exploring the many distinct towns in the area. Long term we will probably spend some or most of the year in this picturesque area.

What makes this property unique

The stone work was what we first noticed when we drove up to the property. Real stone walls, flower beds and the huge stone fire pit area in front of the cook house drew us in. Inside we were enamored of the high ceilings and Tuscan fixtures. We have added some cast iron elements and plan to accent more with it as we get more time to spend at this wonderful retreat.
