Great host and amazing cabin
Bruce and his wife do an amazing job of thinking of everything! All you need to do is bring your bags and groceries! Amazing view on the river, every amenity you could think of to include marshmallow holders for smores. We so enjoyed the back porch and take a walk along the shore down where the rocks are and enjoy the sounds! We went downtown and enjoyed all the shops and fall decorations. Thankyou for sharing your piece of heaven with us. A great girls weekend after dealing with 2 hurricanes!

River get-away
This property is just beautiful. The river is calming and relaxing. It rained every day except one, so we were unable to enjoy this beautiful porch. The porch is covered, but the wind and rain prevented us from going out. The house is excellent and you have everything you need or want. It is decorated beautifully. Our host was very nice and answered every question promptly.

Awesome 3-day getaway
I couldn't be more pleased with our selection to stay here. The host not only greeted us upon arrival, but made sure if we needed anything to call, and stopped by to say goodbye. The house is over stocked, and not with cheap supplies. I felt like I was at home. Down to the paper towels and toilet paper lol. We all agree we would stay here again in a heartbeat. Also fishing in the morning to me was such a treat. Book this one and don't think twice about it. It has excellent reviews for a reason. They obviously care about this place and the people staying here. God bless you all and thanks for the great experience.

Perfect Spot - Perfect House
This house is in the perfect place on the river. Close to Dahlonega Georgia. My husband and a friend stayed for a week. The house is beautiful. Had everything we needed including shampoo and conditioner. The pictures don't do it justice as to actually being there. The house was spotless. Very comfortable beds. The back deck was so nice to sit in the morning with my coffee and watch the river go by. It was so fun to walk up and down the river. Very accessible. My husband fished a little. Bruce and Lisa were the perfect hosts. They were right next door if we needed anything. They greeted us when we got there. Very good people. We sure appreciate them sharing this beautiful gem with us. We will be back. :-)

Great cabin, great location, great stay
Super little cabin. Fit our family perfect. Well appointed...obviously lots of thought went in to stocking the cabin. Kitchen, bathrooms, closets all had extra touches that made are stay even better. It was wonderful sitting on the deck in the morning and evenings listening to the river. Owner was there to meet us and make sure we could get in. Close to town and wineries. Highly recommend and would stay again.

We come here every year and we love the view and hospitality. Mr Bruce and Lisa are fantastic people. We fish, lounge in the river, and explore the river. We even saw a Bear this year. Such a wonderful place to spend the vacation.

Chestatee River Cabin
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the cabin. It was so clean and the amenities were great... plenty of towels, soaps, detergents, etc. All the essentials were provided. The creekside setting was so peaceful. We would love to return to this cabin as a base to explore the area further.

Second time here, can’t wait to come again!
We love this place so much! Everything about it allows for a relaxing, restful time (from the river, to the great back porch, to the cozy cabin feel) which is exactly what we had. Having the river right in the backyard is a treasure. We got to see a bald eagle and a blue heron, which was fun. It’s also convenient in that it’s only a short drive away from downtown Dahlonega. Plus, Bruce is a great host! We truly look forward to coming back!!

The cabin was perfect, clean and had everything you need. The location was perfect, the host was friendly and helpful, and it was the perfect weekend for three childhood friends to get together and catch up after 40 years! We will be back! Great experience and absolutely beautiful location!
