Charming Farmhouse on Beautiful Horse Farm

This home is close to wineries and also central enough for day trips to Helen, Babyland in Cleveland Georgia, the Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta, and Amicalola Falls. The cottage it self is very cute and clean and was equipped with all essential and extras. Full kitchen with basics needed to cook up a home cooked meal. Walmart and Publix were near by. The owners are outstanding and respond quickly to messages when needed. Rating 10/10

Country setting, easy drive to amenities.

Enjoyed our stay very much. We stayed during Christmas and the farmhouse was so beautiful and decorated so nicely. Everything we needed was provided and more. Would definitely recommend.

This was an amazing property that offered both serene quiet while still being close to everything! It's also got beautiful views! The house was clean and very cute. The only downside was the shower was small; however, it makes up for it by having a detachable shower head. My mom and i panned for gold in the nearby creek. We loved that they had gold pans and directions for us to do this! I would definitely stay here again!

We loved our stay! :) The farm is beautiful and the house was so cozy and we had all that we needed. We plan to book again soon! :)

My favorite thing was a walking path and access to the creek, the horses and the pond. Also enjoyed the communication with the owners through email. Having a washing machine was also a plus ... being close to town was also convienent. If I had one compliant it would be the shower would have loved a tub... and the shower was small.

Can't say nothing about this property the location is perfect , spent evenings by the fire pit with some local wine, the hosts were very informative would definitely love to stay again

This home was fantastic - If I could rate it 6 stars, I would. Everything is accurate, the property is beautiful, the hosts are great and I would highly recommend!

Very peaceful and quiet. Loved feeding the donkeys and resting on the hammock by the stream. Quick drive away from Dahlonega.

The owner provided everything needed to make the stay as problem free as possible, even down to games, an umbrella, and pans to use in panning for gold in the creek. The pond was well stocked with fish. The donkeys were always glad to greet the visitors. The house was beautiful inside.

Clean, clean, clean! Awesome stay, animals everywhere! Bring some apple slices and make new friends, the donkeys are the stars! Great hosts, great communication. Location great to Woody Gap, Cooper Gap, Neels/Mountain crossings all on the applachian trail.

Mike and Brenda were great! The farmhouse was cute and sitting on a great location between Dahlonega and Helen.

This is the most interesting, peaceful and handsomely decorated dwelling that we’ve ever visited. We have traveled across the U.S. frequently over the course of our marriage & have been to most states, including Alaska, even staying at Denali, NP. As senior citizens, we finally found the perfect place for us. This is a place to that must be experienced in order to be fully enjoyed. Mere words could never do it justice. The interior decor perfectly reflected the personalities of the owners and their love of their environment & animals. Love lives there. Merlin recorded our first ever capture of the golden/crowned kinglet (we’ve been birding for over 40 years, so that was very special!). Katie the donkey was the first inhabitant to greet us; she is so sweet. The horses were beautiful. Canada Geese paddled about on the pond, which we could see from the deck. This is serenity and beauty at its very finest, without any stuffiness or pretense. VRBO’s review process is a little confusing bc it asked us about our “winery” experience. We did have Christmas Eve dinner at nearby Montaluce winery, which was very good. However, the absolute highlight of our trip to north Georgia was staying at the Flying Duck farm/ranch (that and seeing grandchildren, of course.). Posting this review is difficult bc we don’t want anyone else to discover the Flying Duck. We want to keep it a secret so we can visit very often, but, alas, we must not be so selfish. Well done, Brenda & Mike.

This was a charming place to stay that was not too far from town but in a quiet location. The host was friendly and communication was great.

Loved this cute little house! Clean, plenty of space for 5, stocked with snacks and waters. The hosts were very responsive. My son got to pet the donkey and horses, which was super sweet. Bed were very comfortable, even pullout couch! We'd love to stay again! Cons: small shower, but not as small as it looks. It actually wasn't awful, good water pressure. Very slow wifi, couldn't stream. We have Google fi network, which was extremely slow, with spotty network . My mom has Verizon and it worked well in the house.

Farmhouse was so incredibly cozy and owners were super sweet! We loved all the amenities and enjoyed visiting and feeding the animals on site. Make sure you arrive in the day time because it was a little tricky at night until we realized where it was. We will definitely be back for another stay within the year!

Wonderful and relaxing space!

Such a relaxing place to spend a week. Our spirits have been rejuvenated. Thank you.

Don't miss this one....This stay was so wonderful. It was an incredible weekend getaway for our family. The cottage was so clean and perfect! Mike & Brenda were the perfect hosts. So friendly, treated us like family. I would highly recommend this stay to anyone looking to escape the hustle and bustle. WE ARE ALREADY TRYING TO PLAN ANOTHER STAY.

We enjoyed a last minute mother-daughter weekend at this property and it was great! The place was quaint, clean & comfortable with cozy decor echoing its’ beautiful surroundings on this relaxing farm atmosphere. Hosts thought of everything, property as described! We’ll be back!

We came for a short trip to explore and loved it so much we stayed an extra night ! The house and property are even better than they appear in pictures. My kids loved visiting the animals and catching fish. We felt right at home and would love to return one day.

Our family came in April for a quick weekend wedding, but knew we wanted to come back in the summer to experience more in the town. We had the best time doing all things! Dahlonega is such a sweet town. We even visited the community pool in town and paid a small fee to enter, highly recommend going in the summer if you have kids! Lazy river, water slides and pool were a hit! The property once again was amazing. The house is so clean and Brenda and Mike are amazing hosts. My girls loved seeing all the animals again especially Katie & John Wayne and catching so many fish! My 10 year old daughter reeled in a 5lbs 3oz bass! The property was great to relax on. We can’t wait to come back again, our kids ask often! I highly recommend staying here if you’re looking in this area.

We were intown for a family wedding and this was the perfect place for our family of 4! There was ample room to get ready for rehearsal and ceremony, plus we enjoyed the fishing, horses, and Katie! The farmhouse was perfect!

Wonerful stay. Beautiful, relaxing and wonderful host. Feels like our home away from home.

The house was easy to find, very clean, decorated nicely, and had everything our family of 5 needed. We walked the horse farm property and our kids loved seeing the horses, donkey, and dogs. We enjoyed talking to the property owners and watching them ride horses before going into Dahlonega and attending our wedding 1mile away. Peaceful location and beautiful stars but close to many things to do. We would stay here again.

My mom and I stayed at Duck Farm for a Mother/Daughter Mother's Day weekend getaway in May 2025. We had a wonderful experience! The farm house is exactly as pictured - well stocked, clean with a lovely, homey feel! Perfect location, very convenient to several wineries and downtown Dahlonega. Would definitely stay again!

The property is beautiful, the house is adorable, the horses and mini donkey (Katie) are so cute. This was the perfect getaway! We did the Amicalola falls hike (about 30 mins away). Love this place! We will definitely be back!

This VRBO should be rated 10 stars instead of 5! We had the best stay last weekend with our family. Brenda & Mike are wonderful and Katie the Donkey, stole our hearts! My children loved all the animals and caught SO much fish. The house is so clean and well stocked! Beds are very comfy :) We can not wait to come back again. We highly recommend staying here.

I decided at the last minute to take my husband away for his birthday because the last few weeks have been stressful. We loved the house. It was cozy, comfortable and clean! It was just what we needed. The property was beautiful. It was the perfect getaway.

Beautiful, clean and Quiet. The property owners are close and accessible, but everything was so nice that we didn't need them! Very comfortable beds too.

We enjoyed our stay here, in the country but close to lots of wineries, food and shopping! Loved that you can walk around the property and pet the horses and especially the miniature donkey! Hosts were very friendly and responsive!

This property is awesome and on amazing property! Very spacious and very nice cottage! The only thing that we wish would have been bigger was the shower but we managed! It was an easy drive from town to house and the wineries were great! Highly recommend the Duck property! Thanks for a great time!

This was one of the best properties we have ever stayed at. The owners were friendly and we enjoyed meeting Mike and the dogs, horses and especially Katie, the donkey. It was immaculate and the decor made us feel like we were home. I’d give it 10 stars if I could!

I LOVE the atmosphere of this farm house. We have enjoyed both of stays here. The horses are beautiful. The place is well cared for and very inviting!

Such a beautiful property. Loved the views and the horses. Especially the donkey. Communication with host was excellent. Will be back again. We had a very relaxing week thank you.

The lovely cottage is only 10 minutes from downtown Dahlonega. Yet, far enough out enough out to feel like a rural mountain getaway. The Duck Family Farm exceeded our expectations. We will be back!

Flying Duck Farm was charming, quiet, and an easy drive from the quaint town of Dahlonega. Our hosts were quick to respond to all our questions both before and during our visit and the cabin itself was extremely comfortable. We were especially impressed by all of the extra amenities (like the record player and gold panning equipment) and the obvious care Mr. and Mrs. Duck took in preparing the property for guests. Overall we had a wonderful time and highly recommend this property.

Wow! We absolutely loved our stay on this beautiful property. We were in town for a wedding and the property was convenient to all the places we visited (mostly wineries!). We walked around the farm and a big highlight was walking right up to the horses and feeding them carrots. The inside of the farmhouse is cozy, quirky and comfy. We enjoyed sitting on the front porch enjoying our coffee and listening to all the wildlife and horses. Couldn't have imagined a better stay! We will be back.

The cabin was cozy and clean, had everything we needed and was close to everything we wanted to see. They had a brand new Keurig that made cappuccinos! It was great to interact with the horses. A beautiful place.
