About this property

Wine Country Retreat at Cardinal Hill

Your search ends here. This one-of-a-kind beautiful property is in the heart of North Georgia wine country. It is a completely private apartment and bath. You can walk to Kaya Winery and it is a 1/2 mile to Frogtown Winery. Four other wineries are within minutes. We are situated with the Chattahoochee National Forest and all of its hiking possibilities right in our backyard. A five minute walk to our pond winds through a shady forest trail. The views from this retreat are magnificent in all seasons. Dahlonega, Helen, Sautée-Nacoochee (delightful gem) and Cleveland are all an easy short drive away. Enjoy a relaxing stay with hosts who are thrilled to share the beauty of this property! We can extend the check in/out if the calendar allows, giving you more time at no additional cost!

Many people travel the area on motorcycles or in convertibles/Jeeps in order to experience its beauty. Bicyclists also enjoy the mountain challenge.

There is no end to the activities within close reach: wine hopping, hiking, shopping, restaurants, fishing, rafting. We have provided a variety of resources on what to do in the area.

We are so happy to host you and strive to make this one of your best stays ever! Many guests comment in our reviews that the pictures don't do it justice. Come see for yourself!

We are on-property and happy to interact with our guests, but we are also fine with laying low and giving you privacy. Please note there are stairs in the unit. The bath is ground floor with the apartment above. The apartment is equipped with a kitchenette area. We look forward to seeing you soon!

WE HAVE ADDITIONAL LODGING OPTIONS TO SLEEP UP TO 19. PLEASE TAKE A LOOK AT "The Nest at Cardinal Hill" and "The Cottage at Cardinal Hill"

Must say that the location is very convenient. It is very close to many cool places in Georgia. I would recommend Helen and they have a very neat antiques shop. Anna ruby falls id not too bad of a drive either. Mrs.Tina was very kind to us and I would recommend a stay with her.
