Pet Friendly & Near Wineries Dog friendly & convenient to local wineries! We're located right on the Chestatee River near historic Dahlonega, Georgia. Whether you're visiting the North Georgia mountains for a wedding, winery tours, one of our many festivals, admiring the fall leaves, a college graduation, a family vacation, or in hopes of striking it rich while panning for gold, we're certain that our home will be a place of rest and relaxation during your stay. There's gold in them thar hills! Historic Dahlonega, Georgia, gateway to the Appalachian Mountains, is the site of the first major U.S. gold rush. Come pan for gold in the Chestatee river. This large home is located directly on the Chestatee just before the old Coppermines. It was recently renovated, and is ready for eager treasure hunters and vacationers. We have central heating and air with a ductless air conditioning system in the honeymoon suite on the top floor and we continue to make improvements each year to ensure our guests have a great experience! This warm, inviting home on the river was built in 1997\. It has five bedrooms, three and a half baths, two great rooms, and two kitchens. All the rooms have high ceilings including the ground floor. If you like vaulted wood ceilings and the heavenly sound and view of the river just one hundred feet off the covered back deck, this is the place to spend your vacation. The upstairs living space consists of two suites, each on a different floor with their own private bathrooms, a great room, a dining room, a full kitchen, a half bath, and a covered porch overlooking the river. The master bedroom on the main floor has a king size bed and a full private bathroom. The honeymoon suite upstairs has an Amish king-size bed, a daybed with a trundle, a sitting area, a vaulted wood ceiling, and a full private bathroom. Guests with minor mobility issues can easily access the bedroom on the main floor (only two steps on the front porch). We also have a handicap shower/bathtub bench for the main floor master bathroom. The house is not handicap accessible although one previous guest with a wheelchair commented that she was able to get around the main floor just fine. The terrace level (ground floor) has three bedrooms, a great room/kitchen combo, one full bathroom, and a patio under the main deck also overlooking the river. Two of the bedrooms have queen size beds. The third bedroom has two twin beds with a built-in loft for children. In total there are two king beds, two queen beds, two twin beds with a built-in loft, and a daybed with a trundle bed. The accommodations are perfect for two couples with children, large extended families, a girls, guys or couples retreat, groups attending a wedding (we get a lot), family and company gatherings and wine tour groups. The upstairs living area is also quite cozy if you’re looking for more of a romantic getaway or have a smaller group. The main floor and upstairs suite has an old feel to it even though the house is relatively new and it has an open airy feeling with high ceilings and lots of natural light from the windows. Several rooms have antique dressers and gold accents. For our larger groups, there’s easily enough room to park up to eight vehicles. One of our favorite activities at the house is relaxing by the river with friends and family and roasting marshmallows around the fire pit. Have you ever panned for gold? This house comes with several gold pans so your family and friends can come search for gold without ever leaving the property. Several guests have found gold right on the property. There are many fun things to do in and around Dahlonega including outdoor sports like kayaking, fishing, hiking, mountain biking and golf. There are also a lot of great vineyards (Cavender Creek, Wolf Mountain, Three Sisters, & Frogtown to name a few nearby), restaurants (Bourbon Street Grille is our favorite for dinner or brunch), antique shops, arts and crafts stores, wildlife preserves, and festivals to explore. The Smith House is a historic family style buffet worth visiting. Lake Lanier is also only 30 minutes south of Dahlonega in Cumming and Gainesville. Don’t forget to have your picture taken with our life-size wooden hillbilly, Jed! He’ll be out on the back deck with his moonshine awaiting your arrival.

Everyone had plenty of space and we had everything we needed as far as kitchen equipment, bathroom supplies and amble seating inside and out. Loved S’more night by the fire pit, watching tv in front of the fire on a cold night and looking for animal tracks down by the beautiful river. So close to Dahlonega, the gold mine and shopping, but yet secluded. A wonderful retreat that will be long remembered. ##### Debbie H. Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Erin H.

There was plenty of room for everyone in our group. The 2nd story porch was great for coffee in the morning and hanging out. The fire pit had tons of seating, and we were able to get firewood from the owners as needed. The biggest plus is the view and the tranquility of the river running right off of the back yard. I highly recommend this property for families, friends, or whatever kind of group you have. Looking forward to coming back soon!! ##### Anne K.

This Mountain Retreat is impeccably maintained with excellent facilities, making it a perfect home away from home. It offers a campfire experience and a river in the backyard, all in a fantastic location, providing a well-maintained and welcoming environment for guests. The communication from the owner was exceptional, contributing to an overall great experience. ##### Jinard J. Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tami R.

House was clean and well organized. Everything worked. Our favorite places were the back porch (the swing is amazing!) and the fire pit. Check in and check out were super easy. The host was readily available, but we had no issues. We hope to stay here again, and stay for longer. ##### Tami R.

I booked this cabin to give my wedding party a place to stay and to have space for the girls to get ready for the big day. We couldn’t have been more pleased! Lots of space, lovely river view, and big living space made it an easy place to relax and get ready. Highly recommended- we hope to come back! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chris S.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at this beautiful home and surrounding areas. Everything about the home was perfect. The location is easy to get to and yet is still secluded. The river is gorgeous, and the sound of the water was so relaxing. This home is perfect for families with plenty of room indoors and outside. There's nothing like sitting by a fire, next to the river. Thank You for having us and we will plan to return. Loved it! ##### Chris S. Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Heather M.

We spent nights by the fire listening to the river. We visited several wineries. Helen, hiked and went to downtown Dahlonega. Everything is in close proximity including a super Walmart 10 min away. We already decided to come back in the summer when we can go tubing on the river. ##### Heather M. Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Carla B.

The house was lovely and the setting on the river was beautiful. There were 8 of us and there was plenty of room for everyone. Mitch was very responsive and helpful. Check in and out was simple and convenient. We arrived from various directions and had plenty of parking spaces. We had good internet service and cable tv so we were able to watch the NFL draft when we weren’t at wedding activities. I would definitely stay here again. Thank you, Mitch! ##### Carla B.

Sitting on the porch hearing the river running will make you forget everything. The kitchen had plenty of pots for cooking. Multiple gathering places for family to have their own area. Cabin was a little older and the WiFi was a bit spotty at times. But if you’re trying to get away from it all, it did the trick. The host was very responsive and flexible when possible. We’d stay again. ##### William L.

From assisting with wheelchair accessibility to adjustments in guests, he has always responded quickly. The place was clean and comfortable, and is accessible. There were 9 in our group and we never felt crowded or cramped. Location is quiet and out of the way, right on the Chestatee River. Centrally located near hiking, fishing and sightseeing. If I'm ever in the area again, i will definitely choose this place to stay. Thanks Mitch. ##### Ray P.
