River Cabin in ON the Water with Firepit

Private, gated cabin, ON THE WATER. This is not your typical rental...this is a mountain/river adventure, on acreage, right in the heart of wine country! Less than 10 minutes to any of Dahlonega's famed vineyards. Leave the planning and prep to us, as your stay includes many of the necessities you want and deserve. Fish from the fire pit, hike the property, or float the river...so much adventure included without having to leave the property!

Layout:
The Cherokee named this river "Chestatee", meaning "Place of Light", and this cabin captures it all. Originally built almost 40 years ago this cabin is grandfathered in and sits beautfilly ON the water with long range views up and down the river. The morning and evening light dance off the water and you can really understand why the Cherokee gave it its name.

OUTDOORS: Enter under the covered front porch. Above are french doors in the loft that lead to a 2nd story porch with outdoor sofa, overlooking the river. Out back is a private deck with outdoor table and seating, and you can hear the shoals in the distance. Stream your favorite relaxing music via blue tooth on the built-in speakers on the front porches and back deck.

RIVERSIDE FIRE PIT: Immerse yourself in the sights and sounds of the Chestatee River, while you sip on your morning coffee by the fire. It literally sounds like a bird sanctuary in the mornings and if you're lucky you'll spot our local Bald Eagle flying down the river. No expense was spared on this river rock firepit, with firebricks and aeration to feed magnificent fires by the river.

INDOORS: All common areas have incredible views of the river. Spacious living room with couch that folds into a sleeper. Original wood burning stove, Flat screen TV, Bluetooth in-wall speakers, library of classic books, Original Edison Photograph, Kitchen with modern Samsung appliances comes with everything you need to prepare meals.

Both bedrooms each have Queen beds and their own mini-splits for custom temps sleeping in comfort. Loft room has dual built-in Twin XL beds which are the same length as a queen so they comfortable sleep tall adults. The loft also has French doors that open to an outdoor porch balcony with sofa overlooking the river and firepit area.

Wonderful Stay
Absolutely loved our stay at the riverside cabin in Dahlonega, GA! From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the stunning views and the serene sound of the river flowing nearby. The cabin itself was beautifully appointed, with cozy furnishings and all the amenities we needed for a relaxing getaway. The outdoor space was perfect for enjoying morning coffee while taking in the picturesque scenery, and we loved spending evenings by the fire pit, roasting marshmallows under the stars. The location was ideal—close enough to downtown Dahlonega to explore local shops and restaurants, yet secluded enough to feel like a true escape. The hosts were incredibly welcoming and attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We can't recommend this cabin highly enough and look forward to returning for another peaceful retreat! Five stars all the way!

A Dahlonega Oasis
We came into town for the weekend for an event in Dahlonega and this was the perfect location. It took us about 15 minutes to get to downtown which was perfect for us. It was tucked away and secluded just as it appears on the photos. The fishing was great in the river, the hosts were absolutely incredible, helpful and friendly and I would give this a 10/10 review. We will be back again and look forward to when that time will be! Thank you for letting us stay here for a few days!

Perfect unique getaway!
This property offers such a fun and unique experience. It’s in an absolutely beautiful location that feels like your own private getaway. Walking right out to the river is amazing! And the waterfall right behind the house is beautiful. Inside the beds are super comfortable and everything feels clean and modern. We would love to visit again!

A Little Piece of Heaven
We are so happy to have found this cabin in the N. Georgia mountains for our Thanksgiving trip to visit our daughter! The hosts are so kind and welcoming and they provided all of the firewood we needed to enjoy the fire pit each evening! The hosts are close by when needed but the property is so peaceful and private we felt like we had our own private woods! The river running next to the cabin provided beauty and a chance to fish! If you are looking for a beautiful peaceful place to stay, be sure to try this one out!

Creek side, in the wooded mountain valley
Great place six miles from Dahlonega, 30 minutes from Helen, 30 minutes to Amacola Falls. Great property, fire pit, secluded private cabin with two queens, and two singles, and wifi that works. Out door grill, and a place to split wood for the fire pit, hamol and kayaks for those that dare to adventure. Great place to press pause and enjoy that family.
