This was a perfect stay from start to finish! The hosts were absolutely wonderful—friendly, responsive, and made sure we had everything we needed. The cabin itself was incredibly well-equipped with every little detail thoughtfully provided, making it feel like a true home away from home. We especially loved the pickleball court—it was such a fun bonus—and the huge, beautiful yard with the creek running through it was just stunning and so relaxing. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would 100% stay here again!

If you’re looking for a place in the area stop looking and book this one. I only stay at air B&B’s and this one by far is the best!!! From the time we booked until we left Tahir was very welcoming. After a 12 hour drive we pulled into the property and immediately felt at home with a welcome sign on the door. The pictures on the other, do not do this place justice. Everywhere you look you find something unique. If you like the old cabin feel you can sit on that side of the house. If you like a little more modern you can sit on the other side of the house. We all sat on the cabin side and enjoyed the comfort cozy feeling you get. Even at night the beds were so comfortable and the pillows are top notch. Plenty of towels and wash rags. Everything was easy to find. If you forget your charger he had you covered (even if you have an android lol). My family was there for a wedding. We were all able to get ready without being in each other’s way. I would love to say more but I am running out

My family enjoyed this spot so much! Our kids are adults so the wineries and local restaurants were awesome! The pickleball court was so much fun! We played 3 hours the last evening we were there! It was such a nice court! The owner is so responsive and proactive! Definitely will stay again!

We picked Tahir's house for a girls trip. It was the best location. It's super close to Dahlonega and vineyards. We really spent most of the time inside the house. The atmosphere is cozy. We had plenty of space. The house was clean and stocked with all the things you would need. Tahir was very responsive to all emails. We asked many questions and he was able to give us quick answers. We took advantage of a pickleball session and it was so good. We learned so much and had a blast! I honestly can't believe there's a house with a professional pickleball court. It's so worth it! The outside also has outdoor seating and a small creek that my kids would have loved to play in. I hope to take my kids and husband to this house in the future. The house is historical and charming. We had the best long weekend because of this house, location, and all the accommodations from Tahir. It's a must rent! You won't regret it!

we had a snow storm on our regular scheduled stay and they went above and beyond to make sure we could get it rescheduled. Just bc of that, we stayed an extra night. They are very kind and welcoming. they had a sign waiting on us when we got there welcoming us to our stay. it was peaceful and the house is amazing and seems to have lots of history. the creek was amazing! Definitely recommend!!!!

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!
