    Tim is a 5-star host of a 4-star property. This 100 year old house has tremendous history, but a few items concerned me during my stay. The flooring in the master bath is not level and easy to slip or trip. The top of the stairs railing is very low. I nearly slipped coming down the top step and fortunately saved myself from falling. My concern is the railing at the top of the stairs is too low to hold onto. This historic home is quite dark with lamps everywhere around the home to help provide adequate lighting. Please label what light the switches apply. One final recommendation would be to add some privacy shade/blinds on the end of the property closest to your home. While preserving the beautiful view and historic nature of the home, having some privacy blinds would be nice given the close proximity to the owner’s home next door.As I said above, Tim is a 5-star host! He was easy to communicate with from reservation, to arrival and departure. If I had a question, he was quick to reply. He met us upon arrival, gave us a tour of the home and his wife provided some wonderful pumpkin bread. Love that level of service. You don’t find it very often and it was very much appreciated.This is a historic home with a beautiful and peaceful view of the river below. We were able to get Uber service from the house to town approx 3-4 miles away.We enjoyed our stay during GoldRush weekend.

    We had a wonderful stay in this cabin. The surroundings were beautiful and the house/cabin was really amazing! Although the house was 100 years old, which gives it a charming appeal, it was very well maintained. The interior was well kept, clean, and had an upscale feel to it. The bedrooms are all upstairs, so your party will need to be able to navigate stairs, but this wasn't an issue for us. The cabin overlooks a bend in the river, and view is spectacular. There is a private deck area off the master suite which is the perfect place to privately enjoy a cup of copy or read a book. There is also a cute little stone platform/patio with chairs right down on the river. Where we were visited by the resident otter. The hosts were amazing! They were very accommodating, kind, and responsive. They even baked us a loaf of pumpkin bread upon our arrival. I really can't say enough good things about our experience here. We actual were married next door at The Oar House, a private events venue, which was also an amazing experience. I highly recommend you check these places out!

    This property is cozy, comfortable, and charming, and was perfect for a family getaway. The cabin provided ideal accommodations for mom & dad, a teenage and early 20s child, and grandma. The hosts are charming and responsive. It was a great place to stay.

    Tim and Leigh are welcoming, attentive, and gracious hosts. Great communication and check in. Ingrid, the resident cat, and the fresh baked pumpkin bread were part of our favorite things. The lodge was decorated for Christmas with added charm throughout. The river view and surrounding areaa with a quaint town, waterfalls, and wineries were all wonderful. We are already planning a Dpring/Summer return. Thanks for a splendid time! .

    We are very fortunate to have property owners who let people stay in such interesting and unique properties such as this. Absolutely incredible home to relax and overlook the Chestatee River for a few days or longer. The hosts are warm and friendly and easily accessible. With four bedrooms it would be perfect for a family reunion. There is eve an adjacent property to hold a wedding or catered event for the family. Just talk to the host about your specific needs. We will be going back.

    This is our 3rd straight year staying in Tim & Leigh's cabin during our annual 6 Gap trek, and it continues to be a delight. With hurricane Helene rolling through the N. Georgia mountains earlier that week, there was a lot of uncertainty, but the hosts were way ahead of the game, keeping us informed of the weather and promising to let us know of concerns in advance. Thankfully everything was OK, with no damage, but it was comforting to have such a great flow of information.

    First I must say that the owners Tim & Leigh were incredible kind and thoughtful. Leigh’s pumpkin bread made us feel welcome as soon as we walked in, and it was delicious! The cabin is full of history and very unique. It is set back by the the river with a beautiful view from just about every window. Perfect location for near by sites. We absolutely would recommend this cabin. We hated to leave!!! Thank Tim and Leigh!!

    Had a great stay with my family for my 60th birthday. The house and the property are just perfect for a long weekend getaway. The 100 yr old house (cabin) is extremely cool with the stone and log design, but modernized in terms of kitchen, AC, electricity, wifi, etc. The best part of it is the property is right on the river, including a great stone patio with steps into the river. There's also a large open grass field for other activities. Tim and Leigh are great hosts and extremely responsive. Property is also 10 min drive from Dahlonega, Walmart, bait shops, Walgreen's, and other conveniences. Highly recommend a stay here!

    We used the adjacent venue for my daughters's wedding. Being so close to the venue was a blessing. The lodge is absolutely amazing. The view of the river, the house grounds, visits from Ingrid ( the outside cat), access to river. Beautiful. The hosts are right next door so very responsive to questions. Beds were comfortable, kitchen was adequately stocked with all we needed. There was plenty of space to spread out or gather together whichever was your preference. The stairs really give you a work out and I plan on keeping up with the exercise! My mom was a trouper with those. The only thing we ran out of was time.
