Chestatee River Cabin

This adorable riverside home on the Chestatee is just minutes from historic downtown Dahlonega, wineries and wedding venues.

You can hear the peaceful sound of nearby rapids from the deck. Songbirds, as well as duck, blue herons, deer and the elusive river otter make an appearance from time to time. No Smoking Indoors, NO Pets & NO Parties or Events.

Beautiful mountain getaway
Our stay was exceptionally good. Everything that was stated online was exactly how we found it. The cottage is very pretty and well maintained. It was exceptionally clean and had everything you could want. We were very happy to stay in a place that was well cared for and loved and would love to return again one day.

Christmas Vacation
Wonderful stay at the cabin on the river! Everything we could possibly need as well as a Christmas tree! Place was immaculate and went well and above what most VRBOs do. Convenient to Dahlonega as well as day trip to Helen. The fire pit overlooking River was fabulous. Would definitely stay again.

Another Cozy & Relaxing Stay
This isn't the first time we stayed at this cozy home. It indeed will be our go-to place when visiting north Georgia. The home has everything needed. It is clean and just a warm and inviting home. We love the location. Away from it all yet easy to get to town and attractions such as some great nearby wineries. And being right on the river is awesome! One could not ask for a more friendly and helpful host than Bruce. Thank you, Bruce. We look forward to our next stay! Toni & Jim

Women's weekend getaway
We loved everything about our stay at the Chestatee River Cabin. It was clean and very well maintained. The attention to detail was much appreciated, Before we even arrived we knew what to expect. Bruce was in contact with us and gave specific instructions to get us right to the cabin...even went as far as to warn about the drop in speed limit 2 miles out! He greeted us upon arrival and made sure we had no problem with entry. One evening there was an issue with the gas fireplace (operator error) and he came over at 8:30 p.m. to check it out. We appreciated the coffee, sugars and creamer and also the toiletries (which were top notch). The location was great, only a 15-30 minute drive to all the activities we wanted to do. There's plenty of hiking nearby and we spent evenings playing games or sitting by the campfire, wood provided by Bruce. This was a very comfortable stay for girlfriends who wanted to get away from the city, do a little shopping, but mostly chill out. This is definitely the perfect cabin for 2 couples, a small family or a couple friends wanting to get away! Thank you Bruce & Lisa for opening your sweet cabin to us.

Great host and amazing cabin
Bruce and his wife do an amazing job of thinking of everything! All you need to do is bring your bags and groceries! Amazing view on the river, every amenity you could think of to include marshmallow holders for smores. We so enjoyed the back porch and take a walk along the shore down where the rocks are and enjoy the sounds! We went downtown and enjoyed all the shops and fall decorations. Thankyou for sharing your piece of heaven with us. A great girls weekend after dealing with 2 hurricanes!

River get-away
This property is just beautiful. The river is calming and relaxing. It rained every day except one, so we were unable to enjoy this beautiful porch. The porch is covered, but the wind and rain prevented us from going out. The house is excellent and you have everything you need or want. It is decorated beautifully. Our host was very nice and answered every question promptly.

Awesome 3-day getaway
I couldn't be more pleased with our selection to stay here. The host not only greeted us upon arrival, but made sure if we needed anything to call, and stopped by to say goodbye. The house is over stocked, and not with cheap supplies. I felt like I was at home. Down to the paper towels and toilet paper lol. We all agree we would stay here again in a heartbeat. Also fishing in the morning to me was such a treat. Book this one and don't think twice about it. It has excellent reviews for a reason. They obviously care about this place and the people staying here. God bless you all and thanks for the great experience.

Perfect Spot - Perfect House
This house is in the perfect place on the river. Close to Dahlonega Georgia. My husband and a friend stayed for a week. The house is beautiful. Had everything we needed including shampoo and conditioner. The pictures don't do it justice as to actually being there. The house was spotless. Very comfortable beds. The back deck was so nice to sit in the morning with my coffee and watch the river go by. It was so fun to walk up and down the river. Very accessible. My husband fished a little. Bruce and Lisa were the perfect hosts. They were right next door if we needed anything. They greeted us when we got there. Very good people. We sure appreciate them sharing this beautiful gem with us. We will be back. :-)
