Beautiful cabin, clean and very tasteful. All the furniture and kitchen appliances are of very good quality. The service was excellent, we felt taken care of as they always responded promptly to our questions. The vegetation is beautiful and you really find peace in that place.

The place was easy to get to at night, we were concerned that there will be very steep gravel roads that you need a 4x4. Once we arrived you can hear the waterfall which was nice plus the smooth check in. The inside was just as pictured and a working fire place made it nice to start off our week long vacation. It was also nice that we were very close to Amicalola Falls just 38min away to do most of our day activities. On our off days it was nice to go outside to see our porch waterfall or open a window to hear it. It was a very nice experience and highly recommend it, the host was always available if we had any issues. I highly recommend doing the free tickets to the Lilly Pad, my son and I had a great time there and the owner was super friendly. We will definitely consider this place if we vacation there next year, we had a great time!

Cannot beat the amazing waterfall view, waking up in the morning to the sounds of birds in the trees and the waterfall was a dream. We ate breakfast every morning in the upstairs breakfast nook, dinner on the balcony and cocktails on the putter deck. Inside the cabin is everything you could ever need: dishes, platters, utensils, Barware, a ninja mixer... seriously everything! Buy some groceries on your way up and plan on staying in because you will not want to leave this cabin!
