There is plenty of outdoor seating and dinning areas, with a BBQ grill provided on main level deck with easy access to kitchen and dining table. Outside there is over 400' of creek footage on the wide Arkaquah Creek. The creek is very close to the home. Paved roads all the way to home. Biker friendly! Shed is open for storing your bikes or any toys you decide to bring along. Grocery stores, restaurants, movie theater, hospitals, horseback riding and scenic highways are only minutes away!

Excellent Stay

It was a great stay! It was exactly what the pictures show. We went during the summer and the kids had a great time in the creek. The fire pit area was great for smores. It was peaceful and lovely. The game room was so much fun, adults and children enjoyed it. The mattresses were comfortable. Even the pull out had a topper that made it good. The place was clean and check in/ check out was easy. Also, as someone from Florida that is scared by back country steep roads, the drive was paved and easy, which was a bonus! I would totally stay here again!

Lovely Anniversary Trip

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house met all our needs and the location near the creek was excellent. We also enjoyed the town of Blairsville and found many things to do. If you like hiking, you will find that north Georgia has plenty to offer.

awesome cabin by a sparling stream

Great location with easy access to town and activities. Felt very private even though there were other houses nearby. Grandson loved playing in the little stream on the property. Nice mix of indoor and outdoor spaces.

Quick get away

Beautiful property, even better than the pics. Only complaint is that there were 2 empty propane tanks for the grill, so we had to cook our steaks on the stove.

Best cabin and location ever

Very clean The creek is AWSOME. Motorcycle friendly including the parking. Great fire pit nights, relaxing hot tub and it was close to hiking, parks,and the town of Blairsville. Lots of attractions and things to do but yet relaxing and away from it all. Visited granddaddy mims distillery and hiked. Fire pit was very nice.

Thanksgiving Family Get away

The house was great! Plenty of room for all of us along with the rest of the family that was staying down the road. Only issue we had was the propane tank was empty so we went and refilled and there was garbage in can so we didn't have enough room for our trash. Definitely want to go back

Blairsville getaway

Rented the house for 4 old friends to relax and catch-up. The creekside location was heavenly and more than compensated for the obvious need for a little investment. Chipped coffee mugs, an aging mattress, peeling decking, broken glass in a patio table, that sort of thing. It was still a lovely getaway for us.

Beautiful mountain retreat - Perfect for couples or families

We fell in love immediately! Centrally located for enjoying so many activities; lakes, waterfalls, towns, etc. The creek was perfect for lounging and relaxing and even little tubes for the kids. The fire pit was amazing. The decks and outside seating made enjoying the mountains that much better. And the house was perfect, even had comfortable beds :) We have already booked our vacation for next year and can't wait to return.
