About this property

Entire place

Dahlonega Chalet on the Chestatee River. Very private and family friendly.

Chalet located directly on the Chestatee River. Located within 6 miles of downtown Dahlonega and 18 miles from Helen Georgia, which offer various dining and entertaining options. Within a few miles of local wineries, vineyards, breweries and wedding venues. Nearby activities include hiking, water sports, fishing, horseback riding, golf, mountain biking, gold prospecting, local zoos, Vogel State Park, Blood Mountain and much more. Exterior security cameras for your safety. The property will be professionally decorated for the holidays from December 1st through mid January.

This is not an event facility. Use of property for weddings, showers, receptions, parties or any event consisting of additional guests is strictly prohibited. No more than 6 adults and 4 children permitted, strictly enforced. Unless late chevk out is approved, there will be a $20 charge for every 15 minutes past the check out time.

Parking pad accommodates 4 vehicles, no additional vehicles allowed and no parking on the grass. The driveway is actually a road. It cannot be blocked. During your stay some vehicles may drive through as well as minimal pedestrian traffic. Gps sometimes takes you on a detour especially when using Waze. When you turn on Lewis Grindle, the road will turn into a bumpy gravel road. You will continue straight until you see our sign and a concrete driveway on the right. Gps sometimes tries to have you turn on Lunceford Circle before our driveway, this is incorrect and will send you to other side of our property.

Lumpkin County allows shooting of firearms during daytime and night time hours. From time to time shooting can be heard from our property. Shooting firearms for any use other than self defense is prohibited at our property.

Lewis Grindle is the road that leads to our property. It is a private road and usually in disrepair. We try our hardest to keep it smooth, but it is a rough ride. 3 other vacation rentals, delivery trucks, mail service and residents use the road daily without any issues. We do not recommend low vehicles.

Lumpkin County Short Term Rental #26

Super sweet quiet family location
Lisa was so kind to share this wonderful place with us. She went above and beyond in her suggestions and communication. We went with a bunch of young kids and she gave us some great recommendations that were personal, and her place was a great fit for our family. She was understanding about any of the concerns or issues we faced, and was very quick to respond. If you want a quiet secluded place, this is for you!

Comfortable & Lovely
Our family truly enjoyed this lovely home & property. It is well appointed with some smart design features. The hosts are attentive and quick to answer questions and provide guidance. With 4 generations of family, we had some special needs / questions. The hosts answered every one of them in a timely and honest manner. We loved the open layout of the family / dining / kitchen area. We could all be in there together, without feeling cramped -- but also doing different activities -- someone is cooking while kids doing crafts at the table, and others catching a ball game.. The dog slept in the nook to the side of the couch -- out of the way, but close by. The porches are fantastic, and the wall of windows facing the porch / river brought the outside in. The main floor, wrap-around porch, and parking are all one level, which was great for the seniors. They could observe all of the family activities without all of the steps. We liked the full over full bunk beds WITH a trundle. With younger kids, this was the perfect way to give them space while also having them just outside the mater bedroom upstairs. Eveyone said that their beds were comfortable. We spent most of our 3 night stay at the house. We enjoyed sitting in various areas. Taking little hikes. Some even tried kayaking and canoeing and were proud that it was easier than expected! The jacuzzi was part of the evening ritual. We did also venture out to a nearby winery and enjoyed it.

Stay
We had a great time, and loved the canoe and Kayaks for the boys. Only recommendation is the beds are very hard and we did not get much sleep. Also adding some rugs would help the overall home feel of the house. Overall I would recommend it to others. thank you!

Spring Break
We had such a great time! The home is beautiful! The setting is perfection. My children and teens actually played outside! We used the rope swing and the fire pit and the fireplace and the hot tub, and the kayaks! We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect stay. The host was so very quick to communicate and was so very kind! We hope to visit again!

Beautiful home on the river
We enjoyed our stay! The home is very clean and just a short drive to Dahlonega which is so festive this time of year. It is a beautiful home and very private. The hot tub was great. The homeowner was quick to answer any questions we had. We will definitely consider staying there again when in Dahlonega.

Gorgeous house and property with amazing host!
The house was beautiful, very clean and came with all the amenities of home! Our kids loved canoeing on the river, swinging on the rope swing and s’mores at the fire pit. We enjoyed wine on the deck overlooking the river and nights in the jacuzzi. Wonderful way to get away from the stresses of life and our host was incredible. We were able to check in early as well as check out late without any hassle and we received a response minutes after every question! I can’t say enough great things about the property and host!

Cozy little cabin
The cabin was just as described, it was very clean and cozy! We took a last minute family getaway before the school year starts and made some great memories! I couldn’t have gotten the kids away from the river if I wanted to and getting them away from electronics these days is no easy feat. The owners reached out with some additional info about the property that really made our short stay memorable, I would recommend this location to anyone!

A peaceful getaway
A lovely house off the beaten path near Dahlonega on the bank of the Chestatee river. Everything was clean, up to date, and functional. Very private. The internet and phone service can be spotty at times but this was only an occasional minor occurrence. Overall, I definitely recommend this property and plan to stay there again.

Anytime I needed to reach out to Lisa she responded quickly!! She made sure our stay was the best! We have family in Jasper and I ask Lisa before they came, if they could come over for a visit and she said absolutely!! Most places will not allow because it puts you over your capacity but there was plenty of room outside for the kids to fish and play. We grill and enjoy our family time !! The house was absolutely beautiful! Sitting on the porch early in the morning drinking coffee watching the beavers go up and down the river couldn’t get any better than that!! Thank you Lisa for making our stay awesome!! PS:while the kids fished they saw a black bear cross the river….it made their day!!

CAVEAT EMPTOR
The host was a great communicator, unfortunately, however, the home is poorly mainly maintained, dirty, and highly uncomfortable. No amenities whatsoever other than the river view. Bring a chair for relaxing because other than 2, old and dirty sofas with zero cushion support, there is NO PLACE inside to get comfortable. The fabric on the sofas is dirty. We used our own sheets to cover them. The refrigerator and freezer were filthy inside. This included plenty of someone's hair. The bathroom was no better. The floors have not been thoroughly cleaned in this home in my guess would be weeks. The king bed downstairs is very comfortable and was our only saving grace. The porch is large with a beautiful view, but cluttered and dirty. The cleaning and maintenance deficiencies are many, and enough to comfortably say NEVER AGAIN.
