Absolute tranquility. Large beautiful home that sets on a river. Plenty of outdoor space. The homeowner is very accommodating. Just minutes to wineries, downtown and shopping. You will not be disappointed.
This property is cozy, comfortable, and charming, and was perfect for a family getaway. The cabin provided ideal accommodations for mom & dad, a teenage and early 20s child, and grandma. The hosts are charming and responsive. It was a great place to stay.
Tim and Leigh are welcoming, attentive, and gracious hosts. Great communication and check in. Ingrid, the resident cat, and the fresh baked pumpkin bread were part of our favorite things. The lodge was decorated for Christmas with added charm throughout. The river view and surrounding areaa with a quaint town, waterfalls, and wineries were all wonderful. We are already planning a Dpring/Summer return. Thanks for a splendid time! .
Such an incredibly interesting and beautiful property.
We are very fortunate to have property owners who let people stay in such interesting and unique properties such as this. Absolutely incredible home to relax and overlook the Chestatee River for a few days or longer. The hosts are warm and friendly and easily accessible. With four bedrooms it would be perfect for a family reunion. There is eve an adjacent property to hold a wedding or catered event for the family. Just talk to the host about your specific needs. We will be going back.
We had the most amazing weekend in this beautiful home. The house is so quaint, beautiful, and cozy and the views are stunning. Thank you for sharing this perfect home with us!!
This is hands down one of the best vrbo properties. Unique home, beautiful setting and the most gracious hosts. We will be back! And if you visit, tell the farm cat Ingrid hi from us.
This is our 3rd straight year staying in Tim & Leigh's cabin during our annual 6 Gap trek, and it continues to be a delight.
With hurricane Helene rolling through the N. Georgia mountains earlier that week, there was a lot of uncertainty, but the hosts were way ahead of the game, keeping us informed of the weather and promising to let us know of concerns in advance. Thankfully everything was OK, with no damage, but it was comforting to have such a great flow of information.
First I must say that the owners Tim & Leigh were incredible kind and thoughtful. Leighâs pumpkin bread made us feel welcome as soon as we walked in, and it was delicious! The cabin is full of history and very unique. It is set back by the the river with a beautiful view from just about every window. Perfect location for near by sites. We absolutely would recommend this cabin. We hated to leave!!! Thank Tim and Leigh!!
Had a great stay with my family for my 60th birthday. The house and the property are just perfect for a long weekend getaway. The 100 yr old house (cabin) is extremely cool with the stone and log design, but modernized in terms of kitchen, AC, electricity, wifi, etc. The best part of it is the property is right on the river, including a great stone patio with steps into the river. There's also a large open grass field for other activities. Tim and Leigh are great hosts and extremely responsive. Property is also 10 min drive from Dahlonega, Walmart, bait shops, Walgreen's, and other conveniences. Highly recommend a stay here!
We had an amazing time at this beautiful property. The hosts were friendly and so welcoming. To me this home is a dream home. I could have stayed on, and on. And I forgot to mention how lovely the pumpkin bread was! Thank you so much for the wonderful holiday!!

We used the adjacent venue for my daughters's wedding. Being so close to the venue was a blessing.
The lodge is absolutely amazing. The view of the river, the house grounds, visits from Ingrid ( the outside cat), access to river. Beautiful.
The hosts are right next door so very responsive to questions.
Beds were comfortable, kitchen was adequately stocked with all we needed.
There was plenty of space to spread out or gather together whichever was your preference.
The stairs really give you a work out and I plan on keeping up with the exercise! My mom was a trouper with those.
The only thing we ran out of was time.
Amazing hosts Tim and Leigh created a beautiful, warm, inviting and cozy cabin on the Chestatee river. It's truly magical. Tim gave us a quick tour and Leigh welcomed us with warm pumpkin bread. They truly make you feel welcome and like family. The photos definitely do not convey the beauty and history of the cabin and the surrounding grounds. There are numerous outdoor gathering spaces, one directly located at the waters edge, and we enjoyed time at all of them. The cabin is so well appointed with every convenience that you can imagine. We truly enjoyed our stay and can't recommend this peaceful retreat enough.
This was the best cabin. I took my mother, aunt , uncle and cousin. We were able to just enjoy each other. The hosts Tim and Leigh O'Brien were very gracious! They had fresh baked pumpkin bread waiting on us when we arrived. The history of this cabin and the peaceful ambience were everything I hoped for. We will definitely be back. And soon!
A very interesting and distinctive property. Close to downtown Dahlonega but in a very quiet and relaxing location. Large log cabin with both big spaces for getting together for meals and small spaces for a place to read or play games. Several spots to sit outside and quietly enjoy the scenery along the river side. We were there for four nights to attend a family memberâs wedding held locally. We were able to make several side trips for shopping, hiking, and dining out. The hosts were great. Helpful and available when needed but otherwise left us to enjoy our visit. Very happy with our stay.
I don't leave alot of reviews, but when something is as good as this cabin was, then it is deserving of a review. Not only was the cabin amazing, but the owners Tim and Leigh were amazing. More on them in a little bit, but first for the cabin. The pictures do not do this cabin justice. It is more beautiful in person, even though the pictures make it look great...wait until you see it. Stepping into this cabin is like stepping back in time 100 years ago with all of the modern luxuries and amenities you would want. Everything was clean and the entire cabin smelled like fall and apple spice. It was perfect. My wife is a decaf coffee kind of girl and they even had Decaf Keurig cups. Every detail was thought of and addressed. When we arrived we were met by Tim who gave us a quick tour and overview of the cabin. We were then greeted by a delicious loaf of pumpkin bread that was baked fresh by his lovely wife Leigh. And it was absolutely delicious! The location is beautiful and there were so many peaceful places to enjoy a cup of coffee or hot chocolate on a crisp November morning while listening to the river down below. This cabin really is beautiful and if you are looking for a relaxing oasis then look no further. Time and Leigh treat you like family. Leigh even made my wife a dairy free version of her pumpkin bread for my wife since she cant have dairy. They are the nicest people and make sure you are taken care of. We will definitely be back. Check it out
This a beautiful cabin inside and out. The pictures do not do it justice. The property is beautiful and perfect for enjoying your morning coffee by the river. Very clean and well stocked. The owners are quick to reply to any questions and very helpful. We would absolutely stay here again if we have the chance.
This place is amazing. Beautiful property on the river. 3 friends and I stayed here for a golf getaway weekend. The owners Tim and Leigh are fantastic. Made sure we had everything we needed. Great fishing in the river, 4 comfortable beds, spacious, beautiful cabin. Highly recommend.
Pictures and the listing almost don't do this magical lodge justice. It is hard for me to put it into words how absolutely perfect it is.
We arrived and Tim met us to show us around, which was very helpful. Fresh pumpkin bread made by Tim's wife, a chef, awaited us (soooo good). Each room is spacious with very comfortable beds. The bathrooms are also large, with double sinks, so lots of room for (4) women and their "stuff". We had plenty of room on a very comfortable couch for lounging and movies after a long day our and about. The gardens, grounds, river and nature surrounding us was breathtaking. Close and easy to get to town and wineries. So much more I could say, but we 100% loved it, and would absolutely recommend. I hope to come back some day!
Oh.... and I almost forgot, my personal favorite part was the sweetest outdoor kitty with aqua blue eyes who greeted us, loved pets, and cuddles. As well as the rescue Dalmatians we have the pleasure of meetings.
This property is absolutely gorgeous. From the beautiful grounds with river access to the wonderful cabin you canât go wrong staying here. My family and I stayed here for a long weekend due to our daughterâs wedding and we will be returning for a more restful and lengthy stay in the days to come. Thank you goes out to Tim and Leigh for the wonderful accommodations.
My wife and I had such a great time in fall 2022 that we booked a 4-night stay to return in 2023 and loved it every bit as much... having a glass of local Kaya wine sitting on the stone patio overlooking the river was the ultimate relaxation. We hope to go again in 2024!
We moved to this property from Fla. in 1996 with our 2 boys. It has been an awesome place to live. The sounds of the water and the feeling of being on vacation every time we came home.
