Gold Dust Getaway - Close to town, Fire Pit

Welcome to the Gold Dust Getaway- your private, peaceful escape just minutes from downtown Dahlonega.
Tucked away for plenty of privacy, this dog-friendly (pet fee applies) three-bedroom cabin* is a great fit for groups of up to eight. You’ll feel like you’re getting away from it all, while still being a short drive to local restaurants, wineries, and the charm of the square.
One of our favorite parts of the cabin is the screened-in front porch—it’s the perfect spot to start your morning with coffee or wind down in the evening without worrying about bugs. It’s quiet, relaxing, and truly lets you take in the mountain setting.
Inside, the main floor is warm and inviting, featuring a cozy gas fireplace, a freshly updated kitchen, and a comfortable bedroom with a queen bed. Upstairs, you’ll find two more bedrooms—one with a king bed, and another with a queen bed and its own private balcony for a little extra retreat space.
Out back, the oversized wood-burning fire pit is ready for s’mores, stories, and late-night laughs. Hop in the hot tub to unwind after a day of enjoying all North Georgia has to offer!

The cabin is accessed by a short gravel road. The last stretch (about 100 feet) can be a little bumpy after rain, but it’s manageable with any vehicle—no 4WD needed.
Parking is easy for the mountains, with space for 4+ vehicles.

My group and I were pleasantly surprised when we walked in. The place is large, clean, and modern. The hot tub was closer to the house than the picture seemed. We woke up to deer in the back yard. The proximity to things was convenient. I plan on booking this place in the future!

One issue we had was the furniture in the living room that was very uncomfortable. There should be a sofa or couch to sit on instead of the very uncomfortable futons. The toilet seat in the upstairs bathroom was loose.

Wondefull with one minor exception

Check in instructions were clear and easy. Unit was very clean. Only issues were mainly small one like burnt out light bulbs. The one exception was the hot tin was extremely over chlorinated had to turn off jets cause the stirring of the water was kicking up chlorine gas causeing discomfort and slight sickness.

Nice home, poor access

This home was attractive and clean. The screened porch and hot tub were great. The furnishings were attractive and kitchen well-stocked.The location for all you need is great. However, the road into and out of the property is in terrible shape. It is a community-owned, gravel road with a lot of erosion. The connection of the road with the house's driveway is so bad that my Honda Civic bottomed out going in and out every time to the point that a strip of rubber under my bumper was dislodged.I would urge the homeowner to do something to fix the access issues, or make sure to note in the description that it isn't suited for non-truck/SUV travelers.

Cabin is comfortable for 6. We were there for a wedding weekend and cabin is close to town and shopping. Due to a storm, the power went out for over 10 hours. No emergency supplies were on site, such as flashlights, battery lantern or emergency lighting for the outside steps and parking area. We came back after dark and could not see the drive and where to turn in on the rutted road nor the steps into the cabin. It's in the woods and very dark at night. The home's water is on a pump so we also did not have water. We were disappointed the management company did not offer to bring us any supplies for our inconvenience while we were still onsite. (water, flashlights) We understood they couldn't control the power company, but customer service was lacking in trying to make sure their guests were safe and the cabin had the basic needed supplies.

Secluded property

Property was as described. Communication with property manager was great. We extended our day and they were great about calling us to accommodate. Location is a little bit in the middle of nowhere and you should have an SUV or other vehicle able to get up the road to the property. Really liked the private property.,Super cute home with all that you needed for a long weekend. would rent again.

Away From it All and Still So Close

The cabin was very clean and comfortable and a very nice way to kick back and enjoy with the family for a long weekend. We relaxed by the fire pit and took the quick ride into Historic Dahlonega and also visited the little Germantown of Helen for a different platter of German delight!
