We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend stay at this cabin. The cabin was beautiful, furnished and tastefully decorated, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere from the moment we arrived. Everything was clean, comfortable, very well stocked, and well maintained. The location was another highlight. It was very convenient to the concerts we attended, making travel easy and allowing us to spend more time enjoying our weekend with grandkids and other family.The grandkids enjoyed fishing right below the deck, where we could keep an eye on them.We would gladly stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable place to stay.

What a wonderful stay at the River Lily!! Patti is an amazing host and took the time to text us to make sure we had everything we needed. Our family of four stayed for a long weekend and we couldn’t have chosen a better place. We immediately felt right at home. It is even better than pictured online. This home is completely remodeled! It was immaculately clean and had comfy beds for a great nights sleep. The kitchen has everything you need to cook at home. But you are also close enough to town to go out and eat at the wonderful restaurants in Dahlonega (highly recommend Shenanigans Restaurant) We also had pizza delivered one night while we sat out at the fire pit which is next to the river. I especially enjoyed sitting out on the back deck reading a book and enjoying nature. We can’t wait to book our next stay at the River Lily when we take our next trip to Dahlonega!! Thank you Patti for sharing your beautiful home with us!!
