We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this beautiful property in Dahlonega! The two-bedroom home was perfect—thoughtfully designed with a chef’s kitchen, a relaxing hot tub, and a cozy fire pit that made our weekend extra special.The host, Matt, was incredibly responsive and helpful throughout our stay. I also have to give a huge shout-out to the housekeeper, Crystal—she truly deserves a bonus or a raise. I have stayed in many rentals, and none have ever been presented as clean and organized as this one. The level of cleanliness was exceptional.The coffee station was such a sweet and thoughtful surprise and really made my mornings! We enjoyed everything about our weekend here and cannot wait to return again soon. Highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a relaxing and top-notch getaway in Dahlonega!

I have mixed feelings about this house. It is a super clean, modern, new home in a great location! But they overlooked a few things when building it. Here’s my pros and cons:Pros:-easy to find! Even at night…they have a sign off the road leading into the long driveway. Would be impossible to locate otherwise. -very private. You feel like you’re in the middle of the woods. You can see/hear the neighbor but I liked that because I felt less secluded :-). (City girl here!)-the house is SO cute! Like, really cute! Super modern, great fixtures, well appointed. -love the outside balcony w TV. Our family of 4 spent a lot of time out there -the coffee station is a nice bonus - cute and useful!-the fire pit is great although we never go around to using it. It’s really cozy and relaxing looking -the beds/bedding are great! We slept like babies!-check out requirements are super lenient compared to many other properties. They only ask that you load up the dishwasher and start it. Super easy and fair. I hate when I have to pay a high cleaning fee and then feel like I’m doing half the work. Not the case here. CONs:-while the living room, kitchen are roomy and very well appointed, the bedrooms are quite small. There are no closets and no where to lay out luggage without it being in the way. This seemed like an oversight to us. Who builds a house with no closets?-the house has no washer and dryer. This is listed but on the site but I didnt notice until we got the

Our host was fantastic and approachable. Loved the options of a hot tub and fire pit. The Porter House included the special touches of a unique coffee bar, fireplace, large screen T.V. and a BBQ. I would recommend this VRBO in a heartbeat.

Awesome Stay!
We stayed for one night in this peaceful home! We enjoyed the proximity to north Georgia’s top hiking trails and the convenience to local north Georgia gems (Cleveland, Dahlonega & Suches).The hosts left clear instruction & a very clean home.
