Home away from Home. Pet friendly.

Come relax in a comfortable home in a small GA town that still believes in quaint stores, friendly service & good food. Dogs are welcome for an additional pet fee. (details below).
Toccoa hosts free country/jazz/rock bands downtown every Saturday night during certain summer months. Winter may drop a couple inches of snow and summer brings plenty of sunshine. We are 30 miles from Helen which is a stunning German themed town. Keep driving and you will be deep in the mountains within minutes. Toccoa falls is 5 mins away, Tallulah gorge 17 miles and within 30 miles in almost any direction, you are in the mountains. Bikers are welcome to bring their bikes and enjoy the curvy mountain rides!
There is a burn barrel should you want a relaxing evening fire with outdoor furniture and folding chairs available in the shed for your use. There is a gas BBQ grill in the shed. (If you prefer a charcoal fire, there is a small charcoal grill on the front porch).
There are Roku TV's in every room with regular TV service (make sure to take your sign in information if you subscribe to any specific platforms such as Netflix or Prime).

Wonderful stay in a beautiful locale

Hardy is a phenomenal host, and his home is a sweet little place tucked away in a gorgeous area. Our family of 5 had everything we needed while we were there for a couple of days and each time we left and came back it was like coming home again. Thank you so much for your hospitality, Hardy!

Perfect Location

We stayed here for my son's wedding at Flat Rock Farm. The location was within walking distance which was super convenient. The surroundings are beautiful and quiet. We especially liked that our fur family could join us. The house was super clean and we had a pleasant stay.

Mother’s Day Weekend Girl’s Trip!

My mother, sister, daughters and I came into town to spend Mother’s Day weekend with my recently widowed stepmom. The home was the perfect home away from home. Couldn’t have picked a better place to stay. Will hopefully stay there again for future visits.

This cozy, comfortable cottage was the perfect setting for my sisters and me. We attended my granddaughter's wedding at Toccoa Falls. The cottage was in close proximity to everything. Our host outdid himself to make sure we had everything we might need. We loved staying there.

Perfect home away from home

We've stayed at this location twice now, and probably will again! The place is clean, the accommodations are just what we need and the area is beautiful as well. The owner couldn't be nicer! We appreciate how much he does to make his guests feel comfortable.

Home away from home once again!

This is the second time we have stayed at this property. Once again everything was wonderful. Hardy is so easy to communicate with and makes sure that you have everything you need for your stay. Our dogs love the huge, fenced-in yard, and the location is great- very quiet. We come to Toccoa to visit family, and look to stay in this property every time. Thanks again!

Perfect Stay

This is an incredible home and such an incredible host! Hardy was communicative and understanding. We felt well taken care of the entire time. The home is spacious for the family and has a nice fenced in yard for pets. The home is a close drive to multiple places in the area. I could not recommend this place enough! Absolutely must stay.

Happy Dog

I think the Dog enjoy it the most. She could not get enough of playing in the fence yard that was very large. As for the humans in our party it was just a time to relax and get away from our tourist town. This was our first Vrbo experience and it was a good one.

Thanks for a Great Stay!

We really enjoyed staying at this property. The house was stocked with anything you could think of. The location was perfect because it was approximately one mile from the College where we were dropping off our son and close to Helen where we took our dogs tubing. There was also plenty of yard and quiet streets to walk our dogs.
