Wilderness Retreat

This 2/2 cabin was a great getaway for us. Loved that it was decorated for Christmas. The welcome basket and apple pie were a very nice touch. Loved how it was decorated. The upstairs electric heater was very nice. Bring plenty of firewood for the indoor fireplace to keep yourself warm and cozy.

Best Place to stay!!

Manager's Response

Our family loved it. The cabin was absolutely beautiful and inviting . Very clean and spacious. The scenery outside was beautiful and charming. We didn’t want to leave. The area around the cabin was great for shopping and the scenery was top notch. Would definitely come back. The furniture and the fireplace made you feel like you was at a retreat.

Manager's Response

This property is really nice. Perfect place in the mountains. Nicely appointed with high quality linens and towels. Very clean.
Wish I could be as upbeat about the management company. The person who answers the phone (a gentlemen with a German accent is rude. Not an attribute to have when working in the hospitality business.

Manager's Response

This cabin looks like any other cabin from the outside, but once inside you will find a cabin that has been carefully appointed with high quality furniture and accessories. We have stayed at this cabin three times and have enjoyed our stay each time. It is not just the furniture and accessories that are top notch, but also the bedding and towels. We will continue to stay at this cabin as long as we make trips to northern Georgia.

My husband passed suddenly and unexpectedly. We had more people coming to town for the funeral than I had room for in my home. We also wanted to have them very close by. I knew there was a short term cabin rental on my road. A neighbor got me the contact information and it was available for the days we needed so we booked it. Being so distraught and having never booked a rental before, I was having difficulty with the agreement and how to submit it. The agent talked me through it, even explaining and filling some of it out for me. He followed up with several emails and phone calls, once just to check on me. He made sure the visit went smoothly for me and my family. This home had everything needed for a comfortable, relaxing stay. They even enjoyed the abundance of deer who visited the yard. I will definitely book this home for family and friends visiting from RI in the future.

We live in Atlanta and wanted to do something different for Christmas so we decided to visit the mountains. We all had a wonderful time . The wood burning fireplace was lovely. In the afternoon we enjoyed a nice soak in the hot tub. All in all it was a fantastic family trip!!

Manager's Response

Our stay was perfection! The cabin was clean, comfortable & perfectly furnished along with many extras that we didn't anticipate!! It was a pleasant surprise!! Surprises such as bowl of treats on kitchen counter, bath salts on spa tub, extra linen, huge walk in closets!! It was pleasantly comfortable. The decor was splendid and very comfortable. We loved the upstairs bedroom and spent most of our time there!! It had comfortably seating, tv, rocking chair adjacent to the master bedroom. The master bedroom and bathroom were huge!! Perfect!! Beds were comfortably! TV worked great! Kitchen was fully equipped with stove, dishwasher, full size refrigerator (which was filled with ice!!), a good variety of pots and pans, basic plates and cutlery, glassware. All you had to supply was your food and you were ready to go!! We loved the screened in porch!! Also the wrap around porch on the house!! I would say it is missing a swing!! Otherwise, It is a fabulous place to rest, enjoy, and regain your peace of mind like we did!!

Let's start with the property manager reaching out, numerous times, but mainly right before we checked into the cabin to see if we needed anything, if we had arrived safely, etc. etc.. The Wilderness Retreat cabin was beautiful. What a great location, clean cabin and well stocked. We wanted for nothing!!! Even had a Christmas tree and a welcome gift for us. I truly recommend the property and the property management company for so many reasons. After the past 4 years in the North Carolina Mountains during the holidays, this property, this location, the surrounding area, the sights and the people have sold me on returning to the North Georgia Mountains very soon. What a great Christmas get away and again let me say Amazing!!! Thank You!!!

We definitely enjoyed our stay. Cabin had everything we needed and more! The location is excellent especially if you’re visiting Helen or and of the other surrounding places. The cabin doesn’t have a Mountain View per say but a nice tree view in the backyard. Also had a kennel in the backyard for your dog if needed. The upstairs living room was fantastic as a getaway for my kids!!!

Manager's Response

The property was very clean, and we loved, loved the screened-in porch!! It was great to sit there and drink my coffee or wine, even when it was raining. We definitely want to stay there again!! The setting was beautiful, and it was so easy to get to .

Manager's Response

We enjoyed our time here in the North Georgia Mountains. Cabin was spotless. We had everything we needed and stuff we didn’t even think about was stocked at this cabin. This cabin is in the middle of the Blue Ridge area and Blairsville. We took the ride on the scenic railway. We loved that we could take our dog with us. Overall a nice trip. Just a little fyi the 17 year cicadas are out in force, you will hear them from the crack of dawn until sunset and the noise is at times unbearable. However it didn’t impact our stay, you can’t hear them inside the cabin.

Manager's Response

We enjoyed the property. The reservation and rental process was a bit tedious and redundant but it wasn’t a deal breaker. We would return again.

Manager's Response

Very clean easy booking and located conveniently to everything

Manager's Response

My Grandson , a friend, and my great-grandson stayed for 2 nights and loved it. He said it was so warm and cozy. He would love to live there. That's a good compliment.

Manager's Response

This is a perfect getaway. The cabin is just the right size , clean and with everything one needs for a week stay. Extra pillows , extra blankets , throws on the sofas , very Well equipped kitchen including a spice rack , good quality propane grill ( compared to our previous stays at other rentals) , great water pressure in showers , hot tub , game room ( but we did not have time to use ) . Anna was very hospitable - we were missing a water kettle and she just asked us to purchase one at Walmart and promptly refunded the purchase. If there is one thing I can suggest would be to upgrade the size of the TV to large screen in the loft - after a long day we spent an hour each night watching TV. This was our first visit to Blue ridge area and the location of the cabin seemed ideal - oh and our dogs too had a great time - we took them everywhere we went. Every business is so pet friendly - we loved that.

Manager's Response

This is a great cabin. Nicely decorated and very, very clean. We would definitely consider staying there again.

Manager's Response

Stayed 4 nights at this property. The location is good and the check-in process with the code on the door is great. The house was more than large enough for a family of 3. The kitchen was adequately equipped. We slept downstairs and the mattress was not comfortable and should probably be replaced. No comments on the fireplace or hot tub as we did not use either. I would stay here again !

Manager's Response

This house is gorgeous! However, it is not well lit and the beds were not very comfortable. The linens also smelled like they had been sprayed with stale perfume instead of washed. It is very small. It would have been better if the beds were Kings instead of fulls. Overall, it was an enjoyable get away for a weekend.

Manager's Response

Everything was as described on the listing. It offered great views, the rooms are clean and spacious. The Jacuzzi Jets could be a little bit stronger but that all along it was a great stay.

Manager's Response

Super cool cabin with everything you need!!!

Manager's Response

Everything I need to have a week relaxing. Cabin was excellent, neighborhood very quiet, roads easy to drive, farms and water fall nearby.

Manager's Response

Nice weekend getaway. Peaceful, cozy cabin.

Manager's Response

Our family of four + pup enjoyed our stay very much! This cabin had everything and more! We enjoyed the fireplace & firepit. The kids loved the foosball and air hockey!

Manager's Response

The property was so clean and exceeded my expectations. Where it fell short was the living room/kitchen. This was the place we spent most of the time but yet had no TV. The upstairs loft had a small TV that we never used. They did have tv’s in both bedrooms but for two couples you want to be in the living room off the kitchen for TV.

Manager's Response

We were very pleased with the cabin! It was extremely clean and well cared for. Everything was in excellent shape. I was worried about the mattresses but they were plenty comfortable. Everything was organized and ready for use. We would definitely book again, thanks!

Manager's Response

Great place to go and relax! Very clean and comfortable. The decor was inviting and homey. We would definitely come back and stay again.

Manager's Response

very happy staying at this cabin. It was on a nice easy paved road to get to and the location was perfect for our needs. We love to hike so was able to explore a new town here. The cabin is very well kept and would come back here to rent. Property manager was real nice and communication was great! Thank you again :)

Manager's Response

Grate property, clean and very cozy. Grate location near a bunch of restaurants,coffee shops, bakersie and shopping centers. Pet friendly that made our stay even more enjoyable.

Manager's Response

The cabin itself was absolutely beautiful and clean! It was well supplied and so comfortable for my boyfriend, myself and our dog. We cooked every day and never felt like we missed anything that would be in our own kitchen. We watched movies, Grilled, made a fire by the fire pit and enjoyed the screened in porch And listening to the nature. As for location, we explored from Blue Ridge to Suches to Hiawassee and everything in between. I would without a doubt recommend this cabin to anyone.

Manager's Response

We were renting it with another couple for a weekend. It was the perfect size for us. Everything was exceptional. We utilized the hot tub and that was very clean and easy to operate. House was well stocked with everything we need. We traveled to Blue Ridge and Young Harris to enjoy the Mountain Towns. Perfect location.

Manager's Response

We (me, my girlfriend, and our dog) had a great time in the Blue Ridge area. This house was the perfect spot. Secluded, but not too far from stores (about 15 minute drive). We cooked a lot in the well-sized kitchen and also put the grill to great use. The bedrooms and bathrooms were clean. And, the loft upstairs was the right spot to read a book or watch some DVDs. We would absolutely book this property again. Thanks Ana!

Manager's Response

Ana was a great host. I was notified that the property was ready for us way before time. The property was very nice and secluded. Everything that you needed was stocked. The game room was a nice touch as well. A lot of room for 2 people. I will definitely return with the kids. Overall fantastic place.

Manager's Response

The cabin was spotless and had every amenity imaginable. Very convenient location! We had a wonderful weekend and will be back again.

Manager's Response

Lovely home. We really loved this property! Perfect for a small family!

Manager's Response

A nice weekend cabin rental. It had all the amenities needed to have a relaxing weekend with your love one. It was a little hard to find at first, only due to arriving at night, other than that we found it okay. Mostly paved roads to get to the cabin. The cabin was nice and clean upon our arrival. We did not have any problems during the entire process of renting online. The info provided on the location was spot on.

Manager's Response

Great location for our weekend getaway.We had a very pleasant stay, and enjoyed the peaceful environment of the house and property.

A great weekend to relax and enjoy time with family!

Internet password wrong, and DVD was not working called management for help, they came and fixed their issues but charged me 50 dollars for their mistake

Manager's Response

This cozy 2/2 cabin is right between Blue Ridge and Blairsville. The welcome gift basket and apple pie was a very nice touch. Hot tub was great. Bring extra firewood for indoor fireplace. Concierge service was very nice to have in case of emergencies. Loved the it was decorated for Christmas!

Manager's Response

the property was perfect for us. I would recommend a TV be placed in the main living room.
Will probably rent the property again. Thanks

Manager's Response

Another great visit and fun time at the "Wilderness Retreat". Clean property, wonderfully located near many sights/attractions/wineries and more, as well as really great customer service by the property management. Enjoyed it so much last year that we came back for a second time this year. Looking forward to our next visit.

Manager's Response

Very enjoyable and relaxing stay at the Wilderness Retreat in Blairsville, GA. Our family thoroughly had fun exploring the area!

Manager's Response

We really enjoyed our stay at Wilderness Retreat. The cabin was very comfortable and was very well stocked with whatever we needed. Very comfortable for two couples with the two bedrooms and 2 bathrooms!

Manager's Response

We loved staying at the Wilderness Retreat. Everything was wonderful. The only thing I wish was different was the over chlorinated hot tub. It made me cough and wheeze every time. Probably did not need so much chlorine. Other than that, absolutely no complaints! I would definitely come back.

Manager's Response

Perfect location for many activities and dining. The cabin was nicely furnished and equipped. We enjoyed our stay very much.

Manager's Response

Just what I was expecting. No hassle from owners at all. Was like it belonged to me. Very easy checkin and checkout. Nice amenities and very clean. Would recommend.

Manager's Response

It was great, good location great little house. Only gripe is $500 in booking fees for 4 days on A 700 rental.

Manager's Response

We had a great time at this cabin! Our dog got out through a very large hole in the screened porch. I was called and was told "5 people had called screaming about our dog." This is probably not a great place to bring your dog. I don't think it's a very pet-friendly community. Other than that, we had a terrific time.

Manager's Response

The cabin is beautiful and so is the scenery. Very clean and well maintained. Quit and peaceful. Management very nice. Everything you would want for a relaxing vacation. I definitely would recommend this cabin to family and friends.

Manager's Response

Where to begin? From the outside, the walkway was Avery creative and neatly built!!Loved the entryway! The whole cabin had charm, elegance, with a style that was very tastefully done! It was very pleasant! Loved the layout of the home.The lower level has 2 bedrooms, laundry room, kitchen, dining room, - again were well furnished with lots of extras! Like warm toasty blankets, comfortable chairs & couches that begged for naps, a candy dish filled with treats on the kitchen counter,freezer filled with ice!! It was the personal, human touch touch that gets to me!The upper level had the master bedroom. You walked up the stairs into a sitting room. The master bedroom was very spacious included a fireplace and bathroom. This bathroom had a spa tub and shower with an adjacent closet that was big enough to make a fourth bedroom!! I am kidding but it was it very nice! The house was very clean! The host was the sweetest lady I have ever spoken to in long time! It was just my husband and I for a week vacation which was desperately needed due to losing our dog. This cabin was a sanctuary for us. It help to restore and refresh our peace of mind. We loved it so much we plan on returning again!!

Manager's Response

The cabin was clean and we had all essentials. The hot tub had too much choline and made me and the kids coughing and the unit seemed old. Location was nice as it was in between Blairsville and Blue Ridge. I wish the contract agreement we had to sign could have been an online process rather than faxing. Overall the family had a good time but we didn't stay in the cabin much.

Manager's Response

Loved the cabin. My husband and I brought our 2 kids (elementary ages) and our dog. The cabin was clean, well taken care of and easily accessible. It's located close enough to Blue Ridge and Blairsville. Good hiking and sites for the family. Definitely recommend!!

We had a great time staying at Wilderness Retreat. The cabin was very clean and cozy. It’s located in a quiet area that is easy to get to. The management company provided good customer service. I would highly recommend staying here if you’re looking for a relaxing getaway.

Manager's Response

The cabin was great. It had all the amenities necessary to stay in or go to Blue Ridge. We loved it.

Manager's Response

I stayed at Wilderness Retreat for a month in September. I was immediately impressed by how clean the home, definitely the cleanest rental I have ever stayed at. Parking was directly in front of the door making unloading super easy. The cabin was close and a easy drive to Blairsville which is where I did most of my shopping. I would definitely book this cabin again.

Manager's Response

Overall, we had a great weekend! We did have some issues with hot tub jets not consistently working for us, and the beds were a little smaller than we were expecting. But we still loved the cabin!

Manager's Response

Really nicely furnished cabin for 2 couples. Very clean on the inside, kitchen well stocked. No view, but a good location.

Be sure to use your GPS to get there as the directions supplied by the management company were not very accurate.
Outdoor area around the hot tub was filthy dirty with spiders and bird poop everywhere. It looked like it hadn't been cleaned in a long time.

Lastly, there is NO King size bed in the cabin as was advertised. Other reviews commented on the existing Queen size beds. Everyone has there own likes/dislikes. We almost left a day early because we found the beds very uncomfortable to us.

We loved the location and the owners are very nice. The furnishings are dated and a bit worn. New pillows and shower heads would go a long way in upgrading the experience. Looked like mold in upstairs bathroom. But great location for lots of outdoor adventures.

Manager's Response

My wife and I were very pleased with the cabin. It was a very comfortable and quiet place to spend our time in Blairsville.

Manager's Response

One of the first get a ways that we honestly didn't want to leave and come home, so much fun, very clean and had everything stocked for a few days stay, I mean everything. I had to call a couple of times because I couldn't figure something out and the manager answered the phone and helped me both times quickly and efficiently. Truly a place you should consider. One thing before I forget, if you are using an out of date GPS you might have an issue getting there, but if you have a smartphone with any kind of GPS location you'll be fine, you won't need directions.

Manager's Response

My family and I recently stayed here and really enjoyed ourselves. The cabin was beautiful and well maintained. We hiked most of trip and this was perfectly located for all our destinations.

Manager's Response

Everything needed for a nice weekend was in place. Directions were easy amenities were excellent. Child and pet friendly!

Manager's Response

Family had a great time at the cabin. Kids even got to see snow.

Manager's Response

Great, cabin was a bit large for just two people as we did not use the upstairs as we can not climb stairs, so that was a waste. Fireplace left a lot to be desired, did not work properly, thus I could not enjoy the winter cold with a roaring fire, what a disappointment that was. Also was told no steps, was for a handicap person, but there were several, but we made do with it, (6 steps in all). But was a well equipped and lovely cabin.

Manager's Response

This was an amazing cabine, everything decorated with beautiful stuffs, everything new and very well selected. Cleaning was amazing.
Beautiful area in a country side, beautiful water falls not far. Very nice people to talk to and get informations.
I will go back again.

Manager's Response

The cabin was very clean and the management was so very nice. The cabin location is only about 15 mins from a Walmart and town where there is plenty of good food to eat. The cabin has everything you need to cook and very nice scenery.

Manager's Response

The cabin was absolutely charming, and I loved that it was already decorated for Christmas when we arrived! It was secluded, but within a few short miles to any stores we needed to visit for necessities. We definitely plan on visiting in the future!

Manager's Response

This is the best place I have ever stayed. The management was very nice in welcoming us there and the cabin was so very clean. They even had a Christmas tree that made the cabin just like home. It has all the tools need to cook and enjoy the stay. The view was just amazing and the wildlife in the area was a very nice stress relief. Getting to the store took only 12 mins but the cabin was in a very quite area. I will be booking it again!!

Manager's Response

We loved our stay @ Wilderness Retreat. The house was exceptionally clean
and the furniture was comfortable. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed.
We loved the fire pit at night and the fact that we knew we had neighbors but never saw them. It was a great time.

Manager's Response

The cabin shows very well from the outside. The entry into the cabin was keyless which was perfect no picking up and dropping off keys. The inside was nicely furnished and very clean. We only used the cabin for sleeping as we spent the entire time visiting family in the area.
I would have thought that for the price of the cabin the towels would have been something more than what you would find at Motel6. They were small and very thin. The mattress on the first floor probably should be replaced as it gave my back problems. And, the toilet tissue must have come from the dollar store, it too was very thin.
On another note, my Garmin GPS brought me directly to the cabin with no problems.

The house was in an excellent, clean condition. The setting was beautiful, in the forest, with autumn in bloom, and the leaves changing. The house was a few miles from Blairsville and centrally located in north-central Georgia, with short drives to other hiking and waterfall sites. Wonderful local restaurants with southern cooking are plentiful. I would recommend this property to anyone looking for a quiet getaway in the beautiful Georgia mountains.

Manager's Response

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay!! Cabin was clean, well equipped, nicely furnished and nicely appointed with linen and kitchen utensils. Our biggest complaint was comfort of bed mattresses. May be time to replace. Hot tub chemicals were so highly concentrated when I got in the tub all I could do was cough and sneeze. The tv in the loft was small and could not figure out how to watch regular tv so we watched movies. These was a minor issues however.compared to comfort of mattress. Thanks for sharing your beautiful home with us.

Manager's Response

My boyfriend, myself and our dog absolutely loved the cabin. It was beautifully decorated and had absolutely everything we needed to make us feel comfortable. We cooked at the cabin every night, made a bonfire at night and just relaxed and took in the sights and sounds. It was centrally located as well so we were able to see a lot of the area! A truly wonderful trip.

Manager's Response

The cabin was in excellent condition and clean. I was very surprised with how well stocked the kitchen and bathrooms were all in place with extra towels for the hot tube and spices for cooking.

Master Bedroom mattress needs to be replaced.

Manager's Response

This cabins was great! Perfect for 2 people, would also be great for 4! It was clean, I mean the towels and sheets were white and fresh, there was no dust on anything, the fans, floors, tables, etc. A light was left on for us as we arrived after dark. The Christmas tree was up and lit! Very thoughtful! In a perfect location. It was quiet and pretty close to Blue Ridge. We felt safe and the view for spring and fall should be amazing. The owners were caring and very responsive. This was one of the best cabins I've ever stayed in and will definitely come and stay again! HIGHLY recommended!

Manager's Response

This cabin is amazing! Very fresh, simple, elegant, so clean, comfortable and beautiful! Fresh sheets, crisp and comfortable! Clean, white fresh water towels! No dust anywhere! Had the Christmas tree up and lit when we arrived in the evening/dark. Welcome basket with goodies! Just very kind! Hot tub with a view! Fire pit and dog run outside! Just overall a wonderful, comfortable, relaxing visit! Owners are great, friendly, accomodating and very personable! Really loved our stay!
