Exclusive private mountain and lake vacation in the Cohutta wilderness

The host called me to say he promised the house to a friend for Thanksgiving and wanted me to cancel the reservation shortly after I booked but wouldn’t refund my money. Spent hours on the phone with VRBO who clearly cater to hosts not guests. Do not recommend.

Cabin was secluded yet easy to get to. Lots of room for six adults and 3 children. Large, well stocked kitchen and large dining table for family meals. Three bedrooms with full bathrooms and two powder rooms. Outdoor area with firepit and flagstone patio were enjoyed by all!

For over 5 years, we rent from VRBO 2 times a year and both times we go to the mountains. Either North Carolina or Georgia. This was BY FAR the WORST experience. Let me use the host's description and explain. Just fully renovated and Cabin boasts all of the amenities and luxuries you would expect from the best resorts But this is what you get: There was OPEN food in the refrigerator, freezer and cabinets. A red rubber band holding the kitchen faucet together; NO ELECTRICITY in one of the bedrooms; master shower faucet doesn't function properly (his handyman had to come us show us the trick to get the proper water temperature); spackling in over a dozen areas on the walls; no screens on the windows, keeping us from enjoying the cool mountain air; only one toilet paper holder in five bathrooms; refrigerator ice maker doesn't work; microwave didn't work; no hair dryer; no iron/ironing board; and one wine glass. Sheets in the master were cheap polyester and the towels are all mismatched. No bathroom floor mats. The pot holders in the kitchen had DRIED FOOD stuck on them. Mountain views and the sounds of the Mountain Town Creek rushing past your open doors. You cannot see mountains at all because it sits in the valley and the trees are dense. There are no sounds of the town creek unless you hike to the dam above the lake. And if you open your doors, bugs and critters come in. Again, there are no screens on the windows at all so you can't hear any part of nature unless you sit outside. Which, when we arrived the deck and furniture was covered in pollen. I washed the deck and furniture down myself. Stroll down to the lake....His property has lake frontage, but you cannot access the lake from his property. I don't know what he considers a stroll but it is just shy of 500 YARDS (we mapped it) and it's a HIKE down the steep gravel driveway, then to a steep gravel road, across a dam (which is where the nice photo of the lake was taken--so that is NOT your view from the property), onto some else's private property-basically trespassing. take one of the kayaks and fishing pole. There was ONE kayak and it was in bad shape. He promised to have two brand new kayaks delivered within 2 days and that never happened. There is a canoe but no oars or life vests. We tried for 6 days to get solutions-- no avail and left 25 days early. This was by far the absolute worst experience we have ever had. He should ashamed.

This was a beautiful house and property for our family to get away. Remote destination with all the comforts of home. Chuck was a very attentive host and was available to answer all our questions. Our family will return again in the near future.

Chuck was an amazing host and even shared a golf cart and fishing tips and gear! And being a small world, we found out we had hometown connections! Rent and I promise you will not be disappointed!

This was a beautiful place to catch up with friends, have the young boys play inside and out, go hiking on and off trail, and have all the amenities available to have a very comfortable vacation. Thank you for letting us make your home our 'home away from home'. We even got snow the last night and had a beautiful winter wonderland when we woke up. :) You won't be disappointed staying here! Thank you Chuck!

We spent 3 nights at Chuck's place & completely enjoyed the house & property! The trek up to the house from the paved road is 1.5 mi on a gravel road that was well maintained in December, '21. We took my full size 2WD truck & had no problem, but I wouldn't attempt it in a standard car. Chuck was just leaving as we arrived. He was very friendly & accommodating and left extras for smores, a couple bottles of wine & a fully stocked kitchen! We didn't intend on using the lake but did take a hike down to see it. Looks like it's really nice in summer. We enjoyed sitting outside, listening to the stream below from the large porch. We had a fire in the pit the second night we were there and it was wonderful! Like Chuck said, don't try to use a GPS! I have an updated Garmin, it got us close, but still wasn't correct. This place is off the grid...literally! We hope to return in the summer with my in-laws to fully enjoy the beautiful property in the Georgia wilderness! Thanks Chuck! The Robison's

Our family of 10 stayed here for Christmas and it was amazing. The cabin was stocked with everything you could possibly need for your stay. Mr. Glen, the host, was absolutely amazing. I would strongly suggest that you print your directions out before coming, because the GPS will get you turned around. Other than that, this place is wonderful.

Nice, well stocked, secluded cabin. Mr. Glenn was very responsive and very friendly. Two families shared this cabin and there was plenty of room for all 7 of us. Lots of hiking and fishing right near the cabin. A few things for planning purposes. The cabin is 29 minutes from the nearest town but there is a dollar general and gas station about 20 minutes towards town. The internet is pretty slow which is also needed for the TV. We really enjoyed our time at the cabin. Thank you Glenn family we appreciated you opening your home to us.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! This was our first time staying in North Georgia. The scenery was beautiful, especially the leaves changing colors. The cabin is perfect for a large family. We appreciated all of the amenities. Can’t wait to come back with our boys! Thanks again
