Mountain Magic in the Heart of Wine Country!

This exquisite mountain house gives your family plenty of room to spread out with its 2 stories, children's play area, and baths. The upstairs bath features a soaking tub and separate shower. Morning mountain views off the balcony are perfect accompaniments for coffee and conversation. Beds have memory foam mattresses. Five different wineries are located within a 10 mile radius, plus a pick-your-own muscadine farm and a meadery.
Kayaking, trout fishing, hiking, and panning for gold are all great activities for vacationers around Dahlonega.
During spring, the house is surrounded by pink mountain laurel blooming in the woods off the deck. Then, hikes are delightful, as wildflowers on the nearby Appalachian trail burst into bloom. Mountain streams gurgle, but the water is icy, so if you plan to wade, wear your swim shoes or get frosty toes.
Summer is lazy in the mountains, but not so lazy that you will eschew antiquing at the many shops in Dahlonega and Helen. And book a wine tour! The wineries are all so compelling. Fish at a nearby Chestatee fishing hole. But don’t forget the GA fishing license. Guests looking for adventure can book kyacking trips on the Chestatee River or take it easy tubing. Dahlonega and Helen are both destinations for those activities.
Fall is resplendent with color as the trees burnish their leaves in red and gold. Each twist in the road brings a visual delight, each more enchanting than the last.
And you must not forget to plan your trip to the apple houses. Throughout North Georgia, apples can be bought at pick your own orchards. Dahlonega has many within a few hours' drive.
Winter at Keith's Retreat is also a joy, with holiday merriment around the fireplace. The woodburning stove provides lots of warmth, and wood on the porch keeps it stoked. Decorations of greenery and red ribbons create a cheerful ambiance during Christmas, and as winter progresses, the decor shifts to other moods, Valentines, for instance, or winter wonderland. No worries about the cold, either. The house has a full house generator, in case the electricity gets cut off in an ice storm.
