The place was clean and looked just like the pictures. Hardy was very friendly and available. Yard was nice. I love the white picket fence. It was both cute and practical. We were gone during the day time (my daughter got married a short distance away) but I would have loved to enjoy that yard at night by the fire pit. Highly recommend.

Had all we needed. The best was the fenced in yard for the dogs to run around in. Maintained yard with lots of space to throw a ball or frisbee. Hiking was close by. Plenty of restaurant options nearby as well. We also cooked and found the kitchen had all the items we needed. Bed was comfortable. Host provided great information and was very communicative. Appreciated the available food options provided - eggs, milk, etc. Wifi worked great. The house was as pictured. Thanks for a nice weekend.

The location is fantastic and the scenery is beautiful. The house has everything you could ever need and more. The host laterally thought of everything. The host communicates immediately and effectively. We had zero issues! I have already recommended it to friends and family. We can’t wait to go back ! Wish all properties were this nice. We appreciated the bagels. eggs, fruit etc. So thoughtful! We enjoyed the shower with built in music too!

Great weekend!

Me and a few buddies were in the area for a powerlifting meet. House location is so ideal, not too far from town, but off on its own for quiet nights. Host was very communicative and very friendly, was very kind to leave the fridge and pantry stocked with some things we might have needed.

We loved our stay

The property manger was SO easy to work with. I loved that milk, bread and eggs were provided, definitely made things easier for our first morning. Loved the fire pit and having wood provided. Loved the fenced in area for our fur baby to be able to run and not have to be on leash. The shower was cool. :) If I had to give any suggestions, it would be, if our stay was longer I would have liked to have somewhere to hang our clothes. For the amount of nights we stayed (3), living out of our bags was okay. Thank you for you hospitality. If we are ever back in the area , we would definitely consider staying here again. Thank you!

Perfect Stay

This is an incredible home and such an incredible host! Hardy was communicative and understanding. We felt well taken care of the entire time. The home is spacious for the family and has a nice fenced in yard for pets. The home is a close drive to multiple places in the area. I could not recommend this place enough! Absolutely must stay. Thank you Hardy!

Home away from home once again!

This is the second time we have stayed at this property. Once again everything was wonderful. Hardy is so easy to communicate with and makes sure that you have everything you need for your stay. Our dogs love the huge, fenced-in yard, and the location is great- very quiet. We come to Toccoa to visit family, and look to stay in this property every time. Thanks again!

Sweet Cabin in Toccoa

First of all, the owner is truly wonderful and communicates proactively which is appreciated. We stayed for my daughters wedding at a nearby venue. I needed room for family and this worked well. Finding the cabin can be a tad tricky in the dark, but overall the location is easy to navigate. This is definitely a cabin that accommodates pets and I should have paid more attention to the listing, although not a big deal as im not allergic. My sheets had pet hair on them, but thats the nature of things. Also there were a few palmetto bugs coming in out of the cold into the house - again, it's the woods! The well stocked keurig, coffee fixins, and the kitchen overall was generous. The owners are so kind and hospitable. Overall it is very homey with beautiful fall scenery, and served our purposes just fine as we were in/out often.

Breakfast included!

The description states "breakfast included" which I didn't really know what that meant when I booked. The owner is very hospitable and provided everything we needed for breakfast, including eggs, bagels, yogurt, and coffee. It didn't stop there, toiletries and plenty of towels were also provided. It was more than everything we needed for our stay. Thank you for your hospitality.

Happy Dog

I think the Dog enjoy it the most. She could not get enough of playing in the fence yard that was very large. As for the humans in our party it was just a time to relax and get away from our tourist town. This was our first Vrbo experience and it was a good one.

Gracious host thought of everything.

I needed some quiet time to myself, and to stay near where my daughter was at Camp Mikell. This house could have housed two couples and two kids comfortably. The host was generous with access to cooking supplies, bread, eggs, and milk. The bed was comfy. Access to Roku on TV was nice. If you've never been to Toccoa, cell phone coverage is spotty in the area, so make sure to GPS before you walk out the door. I would recommend this host and this location to a friend. Enjoy!
