Photos and Description of the Dahlonega vacation cottage rental
Cottage, 3 Bedrooms, 1 Bath, (Sleeps 6)

Firelight River Cottage is a recently renovated 2 bedroom/1bunkroom cottage located at the convergence of the Chestatee River and Town Creek in historic Dahlonega, Georgia. River rapids, expansive, level lawn, colorful flower gardens, and campfire rings are at your doorstep.

The beautiful, pastoral setting is the perfect place to get away from it all. It is nestled in the heart of North Georgia’s wine country (5 wineries are within a 2-5 mile radius of the cottage).

The property is a fisherman’s dream. It offers many easy, level entry points into the river which is stocked with rainbow, brook, & brown trout. The natural beach is an inviting spot for sunning and swimming.

Three patios provide lovely areas for outdoor cooking and dining.

Golfers may enjoy playing a round at Achasta, a Jack Nicholas signature course.

Trail rides are available through nearby stables. Shops, museums and restaurants are just a 10 minute drive away in charming, historic Dahlonega.

The fully stocked kitchen, HD TV with sports package, and huge wood-burning fireplace make indoor living fun.

Beautiful Relaxing Getaway

We spent presidents Day weekend out of the hustle and bustle of city life. While the cabin is not large estravagant, It is decorated nicely we and the other couple we were with felt it was comfortable & cozy. We dined out once, but were really impressed with the well stocked kitchen. It even had a crockpot which was great to come home to after a day out & about. We played games, hiked, visited the local vinyards, shopped in downtown Dahlonega and spent hours at the firepit at the rivers edge. The water was crystal clear and could see several large trout. We will be back !

Perfect Getaway

Stayed here with my two kids (13 & 6) for 3 nights/4 days and we had the best time!!
The cottage was clean, comfortable, and completely private. We had loads of fun tubing and seeing all of the wonderful sites that Dahlonega has to offer. The beds and pillows were very comfortable which was a huge plus for us.
Carol and David were so helpful throughout the entire trip both before and during.
I would highly recommend this place and will look forward to visiting again in the future.

Simply Wonderful!

A very comfortable and relaxing place. Even though we came to visit the wineries in the area, we found ourselves spending lots of time sitting on the porch or by the stream, listening to the sounds of the water and watching the wildlife (lots of birds and squirrels, a turtle or two, and even a couple of deer one morning). The setting is so serene and beautiful, it's hard to leave. The cottage itself is very comfortable and pleasant. The beds are comfortable, the kitchen is one of the best-equipped you'd find at any rental place. Our child is grown, but I would imagine families with younger children will have a great time here. But really, we would recommend this place to anyone.

Owner's Response: We are so glad you loved our cottage. We really enjoy cooking fine meals when we are up there, so we tried to think of everything we could possibly need to have on hand. Come again soon! David and Carol

Thank You for creating such a magical place where everyone who visits feels they've discovered their OWN private little piece of Heaven. This cottage is wonderful, the owners have thought of everything to help make your stay comfortable. The pictures don't reflect how darling this place is, gorgeous setting and flowers - there are even herbs planted right outside the door. I'm 65 and went tubing with my Daughter and Granddaughter...what a wonderful memory (first time for all three of us!) We were in Dahlonega to attend a wedding and had quite a few relatives visit us, everyone kept saying "we heard how great your cottage is, we'll be right over"
It's a hard place to leave and we appreciate your sharing it with us and for being available to answer any questions.

The grounds were beautiful and the cabin was very clean. Kitchen had everything you could need. The location right on the river was private and lovely. We made a campfire each night. Lots of room for my two year old niece to safely run around and offered plenty of adventure for my son and nephew. We will rent again.. There is plenty to do in the area, but you will be content to stay at the cottage. Owners gave easy instruction and easy to work with. There were also tubes to use.
