Riverfront Family Retreat Near Downtown Dahlonega

The Etowah River runs pretty much under this done-right big cabin. Kids find it immediately. The adults take a little longer, but they get there.

Room for the whole family to spread out, gather for dinner, and still find a quiet corner. Coffee by the river in the morning, a local red or a touch of the 'shine come sunset. Afternoons fishing or tubing. Long evenings that turn into starry nights.

Artsy Dahlonega, the wineries, and the trails are close. Your everyday life, not so much.
