Foothills Family Retreat - 7 Bedrooms & Playground

Our Foothills Family Retreat was designed with families and large groups in mind. The wheelchair-accessible cabin is pet-friendly* and work-friendly and features a hot tub, playground, volleyball court, fire pit, ping pong table, over 1100 sf of covered porch space and more. The cabin is located in Lumpkin County, near Dahlonega, and is also convenient to Cleveland, Helen, and many popular wineries and wedding venues. This cabin has a very quiet, peaceful setting, and White Dog Farm, which offers horseback riding lessons, is only a quarter mile down the road. Whether you’re here for a reunion or a retreat or just to sit by the fire roasting marshmallows after a day of hiking, this is the place for you. Life isn’t about business or busyness, but things that last. Ten years from now, your family won’t remember a vacation where you watched Netflix or scrolled through social media on your phone. Your family will remember the fish they caught, the hike they went on, the tubing trip down the river. They will remember when you slowed down and enjoyed the simple pleasures in life. We designed this cabin as a retreat away from it all, because we believe in simplicity. We also believe families that play together, stay together. That’s why we provide a volleyball court and horseshoe pit, as well as badminton, wiffle ball, soccer, bocce, ping pong, and board games for those rainy days. This cabin sleeps up to 16 people. It sits on a seven-acre tract with another smaller cabin on the other side of the property, which can be booked for up to six additional guests. The playground and volleyball court are shared access with the other cabin. There is a guest fee of $15 plus tax for each guest above 10. Please request the accurate number of guests in your group to get a quote. Guests have access to the entire cabin, and I am available as needed. To get a better understanding of the property, watch our video tour: https://youtu.be/iD3X_XAZ5V0 This property requires either a refundable damage deposit (a $1500 hold on your card at the time of your stay for up to a week, not collected at property) or a one time fee of $35 for a Vacation Rental Damage Protection plan (purchased through us after booking). VRBO also offers various insurance options at checkout. If you choose one of their damage protection plans, we will only remove the hold from your card if you send us your policy number so we can confirm your plan. Check-in instructions will be emailed to you at the time of your booking. If you don't receive the email with check-in instructions within an hour, please contact us immediately. *There is a pet fee for all pets that are not service animals. The pet fee is $75 plus tax (per stay, not day) for the first pet, and $50 plus tax for any additional pets. Please let us know about your pets right after you book and we will email you an invoice before your stay. Note: This invoice is sent manually after booking and is not included in the booking total even if "pets" is selected. At our rentals, we like to prepare for the unexpected. That's why we ask for a refundable damage deposit (a $1500 hold on your card for up to a week that is refundable, provided no damage occurs). However, you can bypass the hassle of a damage deposit by purchasing Vacation Rental Damage Protection for only $35 per stay. We've partnered with Generali Global Assistance to offer this plan that covers accidental damage during your stay without putting a hold on your card, and there's no deductible. Additionally, although we have a strict cancellation policy, we offer travelers insurance if you're worried you may have to cancel your trip for any reason. Vacation Rental Damage Insurance (G-20VRD) - Insurance Premium: $35.00 - Max Coverage Limit: $1,500 Guest Protect Travel Insurance (G-330CSA) - Insurance Premium: 6.95% of total price Note: These insurance options are invoiced manually after booking if requested by message and are not included in the booking total.
