If, at this moment, you were standing on our deck, with the gentle rapids of the Toccoa flowing beneath you, not only the tranquility of the setting but also the charm of an original A-frame would beckon you to stay. Imagine there being
crackling wood in the woodburning stove, or fresh caught trout frying on the stovetop, preparations being made to tube down the river or enjoyable peaceful moments in the hot tub. The firepit is ready to toast marshmallows, tell tall tales, or spin some yarn, as they say here and warm the soul.The sounds of the river will heighten your senses in the morn and lull you to sleep at night. Just breathe, relax, and enjoy.

    Not great for elderly or young children, otherwise good. The winding stairs to the loft and upper bedroom are tight and dark, making it kind of scary to get to the downstairs bathroom at night. The 2nd bathroom is outside under the house, which isn't great with little kids in the winter. But that's probably a great feature in the summer. Overall, the cabin is way too dark in the winter. I will say that the host was incredibly friendly. It also appears that some concerns from previous reviews had been addressed. For example, the toilet seemed new, the fire pit was in great shape, and the cabin was clean (desperately needs a new couch though). All appliances and electronics worked. We enjoyed our stay!

    We were there from the 23rd-26th not a single a Christmas decoration to be had. Stairs to the loft weren't safe, banisters lose, no lighting, twenty-eight years old & fell down once. Hot tub not clean, slimy, leaves & debris. Beds uncomfortable, pillows flatter than a flitter. Couches are in desperate need of replacing, no comfort to be had. Parking situation is the pits. Lighting throughout wasn't great. Bathtub slippery, bathroom pretty dark. No carpeting or rugs, floors pretty dirty. Thankfully it is located in such a stunning area, spent an awful lot of time enjoying the quiet solitude.

    A lot of conditions were not disclosed. Such as the long stairs in which one must carry all of their belongings down to just begin their stay. Quite difficult not to mention dangerous for 70 year olds.also it was not mentioned that the upstairs bedroom is connected to the loft sleeping area.one must go through the loft area to get to the bedroom.

    You cannot beat this stunning location on the river. Cabin is cozy and rustic and I do believe it has the best river bank on the road!

    My family had the most magical getaway at this charming riverside cabin. We played in the river, warmed up in the hot tub, saw fireflies dancing in the yard, rested and repeated each day of our stay. It was wonderful!

    Nice place, very homey cabin vibe.Bed mattresses, pillows & linens could be upgraded for better night's sleep.Laundry Room is accessed from outside basement level door, so a bit inconvenient.

    We had a wonderful stay host were very responsive with any issues we had check in and check out was a breeze. There was anmole amount of dishes and cookware in the kitchen nice thick towels in the bathroom and even toiletries for us to use. This is a very pet friendly place so if dog hair is not your thing, this is not your place. There was dog hair all over the furniture and other places. Be aware of copperheads, as I was almost bitten by grabbing a piece of wood off of the wood stack outside.

    Want to pretend this is your personal cabin that has been shut up for over a year? You open the door and the intense musty odor about knocks you over, cobwebs hanging from the ceilings, windows filthy, floors gritty and dirty and need to be swept before your shoes come off, furniture needs to be febreezed, areas of woodwork need the white powdery mildew/mold washed off, mouse turds in kitchen drawers, porch and deck need swept before being barefoot, lawn needs mowed (some grass a foot tall), hot tub cover needs scrubbed before touching it and even though cover is closed the intake in the bottom is still clogged with tree droppings, toilets must be flushed at least 2-3 times to prevent embarrassment. However, the cabin, if cleaned is beautiful even though it need some updating. Windows would be gorgeous, river location is amazing, The owners are quick responders, as long as you don't mention complaints. Each time I contacted them, they replied immediately. When I mentioned issues.... crickets. I only wanted an acknowledgement an apology for the lack of care to the cabin. I asked the owner for her email, i sent an email with the issues, no reply, i asked why, she said if i had a complaint i should send an email..... I ALREADY DID.... and now I haven't heard another word. I did not ask for refund or compensation of any kind. I guess my frustration was more about being treated like my concerns were no big deal. They got their money.... the end!

    The cabin is great. We loved the coziness of it. It’s very close to the river so you hear the rushing water so well it almost puts you to sleep. Sitting in the hot tub in cold temps was nice. It is also one of the easiest mountain cabin to drive to.

    Address listed in check-in directions is incorrect, Advertised as 2 bathrooms-1 is outside and down a flight of stairs. Might be ok in summer but not one a rainy cold January weekend. Water pressure is very low. Barely enough to shower and toilets super sensitive and slow to flush. Water brown off and on. Comforters/towels appear dirtyUtensils dirtyThe house is cute and the location on the river is beautiful.

    The location of the property and the proximity to the river was outstanding. Anywhere you stand outside the home you can hear the river rushing past the rocks. The interior is pretty old and the furniture is on its last legs. It’s basically stuck in 1997 and hasn’t been updated or any new furniture bought. The fire pit by the river is needs to be repaired and the backyard was covered in construction debris and boxes. I had to clean out the fire pit since it had some burnt cans and trash in it. A couple new couches, and some general cleanup and this place would be outstanding!!

    We are not planning on coming back, the cabin needs a deep cleaning, water pressure for showers was horrible, some kitchen pots had webs, there was dust everywhere. There are no two bathrooms as advertised, the one outside is not clean or useful. There was dust and cobwebs everywhere, it felt like nobody stayed in this cabin for years. Only the outside view was worth the trip. I hope owners consider making some needed upgrades.

    Beautiful views. Cute home. Lost power to bathroom light on first day, tried to reach owner through vrbo and home number with no response. Found other light to bathroom in bathroom cupboard. Odd electrical set up in home. Second bathroom you have to go outside to go use. Paint supplies all over floor. This is also laundry room as well. Had to add water to hot tub, jets shooting water all over porch. Home smells musty. Could use wash cloths in bathroom. Couldn’t and didn’t they or use water because the water was yellow. Even though I think they forgot that we were coming, we still had a good time.

    place was not cleaned in weeks, spiders and dog hair everywhere, the kitchen is fixed with duct tape since my last stay a year ago, great location, but everything is old and dirty. there is only one bathroom in the house, the 2nd one is outdoors and it's not usable. they shouldn't rent it before total remodeling, waste guest time and money, when you drive 9 hours to get there and find it nasty, refunding the money is not going to do you any good, your vacation is gone to waste already.
