About this property

CHESTATEE RIVER CABIN is a prefect pet friendly get away close to Dahlonega

If you're looking for an adorable cabin on the river with easy access to North Georgia, this is it! The deck is literally on the river!

The cabin has updated appliances, including a dishwasher, washer/dryer, and HVAC. The one bedroom is perfect for two, and there's a queen-size sofa sleeper that can comfortably sleep two more. We love four-legged children, so this cabin is pet-friendly.

Sit back and enjoy the sound of the river, do a little fishing, or curl up with a good book! We are committed to providing a clean, safe, and pleasant environment for our guests.

The cabin features a cozy living room with a fireplace, a queen sofa bed with fresh bedding, and a lounge chair. The bathroom is a nice size with a walk-in shower. Mountain nights are usually cool, and the days are pleasant. The cable provider is Windstream, and we offer services through a smart TV. We provide complimentary Sling TV, but you can sign in to your own providers if you wish.

Please remember that the cabin is rural and has a rustic charm. Power outages can occur with storms or heavy winds. In such cases, we have an assortment of board games, cards, and fishing poles to help you enjoy your time unplugged.

The outdoor deck is almost as large as the inside, allowing guests to truly take in the private surroundings. It overlooks the river and is close enough to fish from the deck. Located at the end of a dead-end road, it's cozy and private with woods directly across the river.

It is just ten minutes to the delightful town of Dahlonega where you can buy your groceries and can even arrange to have them delivered to your car. You can also enjoy shopping at the many quaint places on the square, dine in several charming restaurants, canoe down the river, explore hiking trails galore, and find horseback riding less than two miles away. Or head downtown for your Starbucks fix. Stay for a weekend or come and hang out for a week! These locations are hard to find, and you will love this beautiful 'hideaway'.

If you have any questions, please email the owner at chestateecabin@gmail.com.

Cute cabin in the woods on the river
We had a great stay here. In town for a wedding so we didn’t get to enjoy the property to its fullest unfortunately. This cabin is nestled in the woods and has a beautiful big deck overlooking the river. Inside had everything you would need and was super cozy. Would def stay here again!

Perfect house
The house was perfect for my wife and me. Small and cozy, clean, great amenities, and the owner was very helpful/communicative (the power went out before we arrived due to hurricane Helene and the owner was very flexible and helpful). Fantastic stay!

Short Stay
The cabin needs some care, cleaning and pest control . The size of the cabin was good and when the ac was working it was quite comfortable . The host was very efficient when dealing with the door not unlocking and the broken ac. The television service was great. I wish I had know that there was no cell service ahead of my booking . If it was written in the description, I did not notice it.

Nice Rustic Cabin
Perfect place to disconnect and enjoy the sound of the river. Owner is responsive if anything should arise. Feel like one with nature in this Cabin nestled at the end of a Road. Lots of wildlife, and only about 15 min from town and wineries.

Delightful Dahlonega Getaway
The cabin was quaint and cozy for our needs. The surroundings and proximity to places we visited exceeded my expectations. This was our first experience staying in a cabin. We typically stay in B &B s or hotels. This was a pleasant change for us! We look forward to our next Dahlonega trip and would definitely consider staying in this cabin again. Perfect place for two with quite a lovely setting and view of the river!

River cabin
Nice and quiet cabin on the river. Had everything we needed for our stay. Will book again in the future. Only issue was the door lock. Host had the wrong number and we had to drive back to town to get cell service. Host answered the call and resolved the issue. Next time we will ask for a door Key. Thanks for sharing your cabin with us.

Tranquil setting
Interior was VERY clean with exception of oven which had a pool of grease in the bottom which activated the smoke alarm when the oven was preheated. I needed to clean it before it could be used. It has rustic charm and well equipped kitchen with comfortable living space. Bed was comfortable but very difficult to get good sleep due to plastic mattress pad that crunched with any slight movement. We did see one mouse scurry under the stove as well as entering a crevice from a gap in the exterior dining room wall. Exterior needs TLC and the deck, including table and chairs were full of debris and appeared uncleaned upon our arrival (I opted not to clean it and we never used the table, chairs nor umbrella) However, there was a nice sitting area with cushions which we enjoyed. The fishing poles were a nice touch.Dog friendly but previous renters dogs large “deposits” were not removed before our arrival which is not healthy for other dogs. Digital lock worked sporadically requiring 3+ attempts to secure closure. Never could get the TV to work with limited instructions.( we are relatively tech savvy) . The host handbook could use some updating. We understand this is meant to be a rustic cabin and some things come with that setting. These comments are meant to be constructive criticism and if we were the owner we would want to know. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this beautiful tranquil setting.

Great Quiet Place:)
This place is perfect to relax with such a serene deck overlooking the Chestatee River. If you are looking to get away this is the perfect spot. Cavendar Creek Vineyards is very close by and a great spot as well. The owner is great and super responsive. Highly recommended.

Quaint cabin on Chestatee River
Small, quaint cabin perfect for 2 people with all the amenities anyone could want. Cell service in area is spotty but cabin’s internet and WIFI worked flawlessly. It was rainy and chilly during our visit but the cabin’s HVAC system along with the fireplace did great keeping our old senior bones warm. Sounds of the river below from the large deck is very peaceful and calming. Finally, the owner answered our multitude of questions quickly and patiently and as first time renters of a cabin in the Georgia mountains, that was greatly appreciated

About the host

Hosted by TIna Rayfield

Host profile image
I grew up in North Georgia and have always loved the North Georgia Mountains! As a mom, grandma, daughter, nurse, physician assistant, writer, and entrepreneur, I have a deep connection to this area. After a particularly tumultuous time, I booked the cabin for a month in 2015 and instantly fell in love with the soothing sound of the river. My goal is for guests to feel completely at home here, embracing the peacefulness, serenity, and natural beauty of this place—a haven to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and reconnect with themselves and nature. I hope you find this beautiful retreat with its rustic charm to be a source of serenity and relaxation.

Why they chose this property

I chose this area because I moved to Dahlonega in 2021 to be near my tribe. This community and the serene beauty of the Chestatee River captured my heart. It's a place where I can unwind and recharge, surrounded by nature and cherished moments with loved ones.

What makes this property unique

Connection to nature. Peace, tranquility, PURE JOY of the art of just 'BEING'.

What makes this cabin and property unique is its idyllic setting directly on the Chestatee River. Nestled in the North Georgia Mountains, it offers a serene retreat with the soothing sound of rushing water right outside your door. The cabin itself combines rustic charm with modern comforts, including updated appliances and cozy furnishings. Guests can enjoy fishing off the deck, relaxing by the riverside fire pit, and exploring the surrounding natural beauty. It's a perfect escape to reconnect with nature and create lasting memories with family and friends.
