Great Stay
We used the home as our accommodations for a three day fishing trip in North Georgia. We found the home in great condition and the place was very well stocked with everything one could need. The home is spacious and the outdoor firepit was used all three nights. If you have need of accommodations near Clarkesville I would highly recommend. Clean, comfortable, good location.

Came for a wedding at Toccoa Falls and it was just perfect. Beautiful home, all we needed was provided. Had enough room for everyone and even the few friends that came over after the wedding. Thanks Brittany for making it all run smoothly and your extra help to make it perfect.

Amazing Property
The property was just as advertised plus some. Brittany made it so easy to book the home and check in. If we come back to the area we will booking this home again. All the small items that are provided for the just in case you forgot something is extremely thoughtful and some of the items came in handy. A small example is my stepdaughter cut herself and we didn't have anything with us, but there were items at the home for us to use to clean and bandage her up. Just an amazing experience and a beautiful home. Very family oriented. Thanks for making it such a memorable time for our family. The Haas, Gamble, and Bernstein families.

Clarkesville Stay
Several couples, myself and my wife enjoyed a long weekend stay at this home. We were in Clarkesville for a fly fishing trip. We all had a wonderful experience in the home. It’s only a couple minutes from the town center. The home was very comfortable, had everything we needed and the property manager was kind and very responsive to any questions we had. We’ll definitely stay here again.

Beautiful updated house. It has plenty of room and would be amazing for two families with kids. The double family rooms were amazing. Beds were super comfy. Loved the wrap around porch. Super quiet and relaxing.
