Perfect location to downtown Dahlonega Square, local wineries, parks, hiking trails and picturesque mountain views. This lovely home is beautifully situated on a wooded hillside lot with plenty of privacy and outdoor spaces to enjoy nature, including decks and a large fire pit sitting area. Pet friendly. The house is bright and spacious and the decor is warm and inviting. The plants throughout make you feel right at home, very nice touch. Everything you need and then some. Communication with the property owner was terrific! Very special place!

The house is beautifully decorated, peaceful setting in the woods, comfortable and clean. We sure enjoyed our stay. Quick drive to the downtown square shops, restaurants and wineries.

House was great. Host very accommodating and kind. We didn’t go to the winery so we couldn’t evaluate. Shouldn’t be counted in evaluation. Dahlonega was great. We will recommend to others

I asked my husband for a "Hallmark" Thanksgiving and I got just that! The house was perfect- beautifully decorated, warm and inviting, clean, spacious, and generously furnished! I was concerned that I wouldn't have what I needed to make our Thanksgiving dinner for my family, but boy was I wrong- the kitchen had everything and more than I needed! We ate, relaxed, watched movies on the gigantic TV, played games that were provided, hiked, roasted hotdogs and made s'mores in the fire pit, and enjoyed the charming town of Dahlonega! Christina was a kind and attentive host! We hope to stay here again in the near future!
Cool mushrooms!
