This is the sixth or seventh year we've stayed here - and it is fabulous. They've updated it this year and it was perfect before - now it's even better. We will be back
We have tried so hard to find a place to stay that accommodates more than one dog, since we have three and we would hate to leave one out. Take a Paws was perfect! Despite us Floridians not being totally prepared for below freezing weather, we had a fantastic stay! There’s just something about waking up in the cold on Christmas morning. The home is located in a great spot with a spectacular view right in the Black Rock Mountain state Park. We did a small waterfall hike there. Our third day, we took a little drive to Helen to do the tourist stuff and then another trip to the Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta. Totally worth the hour and a half trip! 11/10 would recommend. On our last night, we went down to Moonrise Distiller and grabbed pizza from Fortify Pi, which both blew us away. We recommend the Samurai Pi, you won’t be disappointed! Overall, we had a beautiful family vacation with our fur babies. Thank you for the great communication and wonderful accommodations. I have a feeling we will be back!
New renovations are great and work did not interfere with the experience. View was beautiful, homestead had ample room for vehicles, great property to explore, and neighborhood was great to drive around. In driving distance of great sites to see. Great communication with any questions or issues. Homes were cozy.
AMAZING view! This place has a great view overlooking the mountains. We enjoyed exploring the area and hiking. We saw some bears and her cubs on our first day. The cabin is spacious and beautiful. You have to see it in person. The pictures don’t do the view and cabin justice.
This is our fifth year I think being at this house and we love it. It has everything we need. The yard is fenced so the dogs can roam freely. The hosts are wonderful people who are easy to deal with. Already reserved the house for next year!
My fourth stay at Take a Paws.. gets better each time! Host/Owner is great, home is beautiful, comfortable, amazing Mountain View’s and our dogs love it. Will be back next year. Thank you for another memorable stay❤️
Another fine stay at Paws.
2 adults & 3 children 14, 12 & 7. Very roomy overall. Living space: Living room, dining table, kitchen, screened porch, expansive deck, level, ample parking area with covered parking if needed. Plus separate one bedroom house. Had everything needed. We cooked a couple of meals. We enjoyed sitting on the deck enjoying the absolutely fabulous view. Joe responded immediately & sent someone to adjust heat / AC units. With all the features allowing for living & sleeping flexibility, we can see why this property is so popular.
Great experience staying at your cabin! Owner quickly answered any questions we had. The fenced property was absolutely perfect for our 3 furry friends. They were in “hog heaven”. Because they were so relaxed, our people experiences were even better! We will definitely book this jewel many times!
We were so happy to return to Take a Paws for a week with kids and dogs. The kids all love hanging out in the Dog House, and the adults love hanging out in the main house, on the deck by the firepit, and on the screened porch. You just can't stop staring at the view. It's breathtaking. The location is perfect - around the corner from Black Rock Mtn SP and easy ride down the mountain to Dillard, Clayton, Highlands, and more! We returned to some old favorites (Goats on the Roof, snow tubing at Scaly, whiskey tasting at RM Rose, patio dining at U Joint, date night at Fortify Kitchen, pre-hike lunch at Fortify Pi) and tried some new places - zip lining at Sunburst Adventures, donuts at the Farmhouse, dinner at Julep Farms, whiskey tasting at Moonrise, and our new favorite - wine tasting at Stonewall Creek Vineyards. We hiked new spots too - Rabun Bald, Hemlock Falls, Warwoman Dell, and Ada-Hi Falls. We can't wait to return!
