Absolutely gorgeous Airbnb!! We loved the character of the historic Cherokee cabin. Our kids adored the tire swing and outdoor space, giving them ample room to explore and play. Beds were very comfy and the wood burning fireplace stocked with lots of wood was a nice touch. Great amenities for young kids (crib, high chair, children’s books,etc). The host was very friendly and accommodating. We’d love to return next time we are in the area!

We had a great time at this home. The house was incredible and exactly what we had wanted. The outside area was great with the pickleball courts, fire pit and the creek. We would definitely stay here again.

Just as described! Everything from the cabin to the host was a great experience, 5 stars. We will be planning to stay again because there is still more exploring and learning the area of Dahlonega for us. Thank you Tahir for having us, your property is beautiful and we hope we can come back again to call it home for awhile.

Tahir was an amazing host. He went above and beyond to make us welcome. Tahir even gave us a private professional Pickleball lesson. He was so kind and helpful. Book this place! It is amazing!

We enjoyed our stay so much! The home was beautiful and felt cozy and comfy. Tahir thought of everything to make our stay comfortable. The labels in the kitchen were especially helpful! The decor was a nice mix of different time periods throughout the farmhouse, and the Indian cabin was amazing. Every day, we found something we had not noticed before. The property outside was everything we hoped. Beautiful and tidy and just as cozy as the inside of the home. Highly recommend!

We had such a wonderful stay! The location was excellent, and the house was simply gorgeous—spacious, beautifully maintained, and filled with so many thoughtful amenities. We especially loved the complimentary coffee bar; it was such a nice touch and made our mornings even better. This place was truly a great find. The hosts were amazing and incredibly attentive, especially with their heartwarming welcome message that made us feel right at home from the start. We would absolutely recommend this Airbnb and would definitely stay here again!

Wow! We had an incredible stay this past weekend at Paddle & Pines! My sister and I had planned a grandmother/granddaughter weekend to take the littles (ages 5 and 7) to Cabbage Patch Babyland General Hospital for a birthday trip. While looking for somewhere to stay, this property stood out. We had so much room in this beautiful historic cabin. The cabin was super clean and comfortable with lots of amenities. We enjoyed walking around the farm and looking at all that the property provided including a super nice Pickleball court. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you so much Tahir for making this a great weekend.

Absolutely our most favorite place we’ve stayed!! Everything was super clean. So much to do we didn’t want to leave! Pickleball, s’mores around the fire fit, cooking on the blackstone, and so much more!! Everything you needed is there!!

From the first interaction a few months before our trip up until the day we checked out, Tahir was so attentive to all of our needs. Every detail was thought out and intentional. After being there for three days, I still discovered new art, decorations or artifacts each time I turned around. Simply lovely. Everything we needed was there! We would live to come again!
