Arkaquah Creek Retreat! earns praise for its serene creekside setting, privacy, and convenient access to Blairsville and nearby hikes, with families appreciating spacious layouts and fun touches like a game room, hot tub, deck, and fire pit.
Guests frequently highlight responsive communication and smooth check-in. Cleanliness feedback is mixed: many found the cabin very clean, while several reports cite moldy shower liners, dirty grill/oven, and overlooked areas. A few note maintenance niggles such as empty propane, chipped mugs, aging furnishings, and burnt-out bulbs. Expect a relaxing, activity-ready getaway in a natural setting.

Very clean The creek is AWSOME. Motorcycle friendly including the parking. Great fire pit nights, relaxing hot tub and it was close to hiking, parks,and the town of Blairsville. Lots of attractions and things to do but yet relaxing and away from it all. Visited granddaddy mims distillery and hiked. Fire pit was very nice.

The house was perfect for us. We did have a few small issues but nothing major. The game area was fantasic. I thought my son would enjoy it but it was actually the adults who played pac man. The hot tub was relaxing especially at night time. The creek was perfectly described. There's even a small rope swing. The firepit area was night as well but there could be lighting at night time. The only issues was the downstairs tv just randomly would work in the bedroom and the remote looked like a dog chewed on it. All in all we would definitely love to come back.

It was a great stay! It was exactly what the pictures show. We went during the summer and the kids had a great time in the creek. The fire pit area was great for smores. It was peaceful and lovely. The game room was so much fun, adults and children enjoyed it. The mattresses were comfortable. Even the pull out had a topper that made it good. The place was clean and check in/ check out was easy. Also, as someone from Florida that is scared by back country steep roads, the drive was paved and easy, which was a bonus! I would totally stay here again!

I brought my teenage son and his friend for a quick fall getaway. The cabin was perfect!! The boys had their own space downstairs with a foosball table, arcade game, and mini fridge, while I had a peaceful retreat upstairs. The hot tub was a well appreciated amenity! The host was attentive and easy to communicate with. We will definitely be back!!

Our adult son, special family pet and I loved our stay in this cabin by an incredible creek! From wading and swimming, to enjoying the fire pit, to the comfortable cabin we loved our stay. The game room was amazing! The cabin was enclosed on the top deck, and the neighborhood was quiet with our cabin secluded from our neighbors. The location was great-near breweries, wineries, & restaurants that were pet-friendly. The only downside was the pollen attack in May! But the cabin was clean and adequately provisioned for our stay. There were a few minor items we missed in the kitchen (eg, a rubber spatula), but everything was clean and the beds comfortable. We will return to play in the awesome creek! Thank you!

Beautiful cabin situated near Blairsville. Very clean and updated, very comfortable. Beautiful location next to the creek. Close to hiking, waterfalls, trout fishing, antique stores, and all sorts of outdoor activities. 35 min to Helen, 15 minutes to Brasstown Bald, 15 minutes to Helton Creek Falls. We had a great week together. Foosball, classic video game machine, very strong WiFi. We usually don't stay in the same place twice, but I would definitely consider returning here.

Beautiful property, even better than the pics. Only complaint is that there were 2 empty propane tanks for the grill, so we had to cook our steaks on the stove.

The house was great! Plenty of room for all of us along with the rest of the family that was staying down the road. Only issue we had was the propane tank was empty so we went and refilled and there was garbage in can so we didn't have enough room for our trash. Definitely want to go back

The house was very clean. We did not experience any problems. Everything went smoothly from check in to check out. I loved sitting on the porch in the morning listening to nature and loved sitting by the creek. The multi arcade game was fun as well. I definitely would love to come back and stay here or even check out their other location/home.

The cabin and location was beautiful but they do bare minimum cleaning. Bottom of shower liner was disgusting. Back of door in basement bathroom looked like it never gets cleaned and it had brown stuff smeared on it. Mattress was nasty looking when we removed the sheets. Trash can in upstairs bathroom was falling apart. Washer and drier are in an unfinished room in the basement. Felt like you were in a dungeon going in there. We had came for a wedding and had to iron some things. Had to put towel over ironing board because it was nasty from sitting on the floor of the “dungeon”. Although we loved being down by the creek and playing in it we will never stay here again.

Let me start by saying that this is a great house in a fantastic location. I loved being right on the stream running through the backyard. It was very relaxing. The house was not clean, however, and that’s a dealbreaker for me. There was mold on both shower curtains, the oven had baked on nastiness inside, the grill was so dirty we could not use it, and the best part was the FOOD and dirt behind the couch. (I dropped something back there and had to move it.) The dishes needed to be washed coming out of the cabinet, and the coffee cups were chipped so badly that I couldn’t even use most of them. I did bring all of this to the owners attention, and she assured me this was not up to her standards and she would address it. I hope she does, because this really is a nice spot. I did not appreciate the fact that I paid a cleaning fee and had to clean the home as soon as we got there. That’s just not ok.

Rented the house for 4 old friends to relax and catch-up. The creekside location was heavenly and more than compensated for the obvious need for a little investment. Chipped coffee mugs, an aging mattress, peeling decking, broken glass in a patio table, that sort of thing. It was still a lovely getaway for us.

My wife, 14 yr old grandson, and I spent a great weekend at this cabin just south of Blairsville. The location was great. Access to the creek/river was very easy. The cabin was very well appointed and supplied. Our grandson loved the downstairs game room. He said he wanted his house set up like that. The only thing I would change is move the large king bed upstairs and move the double bed downstairs. The stairs were tough on old knees, and the double bed was too small for us old folks.

The location is perfect and closer to lots of activities (we enjoyed horseback riding and a trip to Brasstown Bald). If you are looking for a peaceful escape in North Georgia, I would highly recommend!

Lots of attractions and things to do but yet relaxing and away from it all. Visited granddaddy mims distillery and hiked. Fire pit was very nice.

This home was beautiful and conveniently located for all our planned activities. The host was very easy to communicate with. I would stay here again.

The cabin is Awesome we’ve stayed there each year for five years. It is close to sites we want to see and in a quiet area. Always clean and ready for our stay. A perfect vacation!

Beautiful cabin situated near Blairsville. Very clean and updated, very comfortable. Beautiful location next to the creek. Close to hiking, waterfalls, trout fishing, antique stores, and all sorts of outdoor activities. 35 min to Helen, 15 minutes to Brasstown Bald, 15 minutes to Helton Creek Falls. We had a great week together. Foosball, classic video game machine, very strong WiFi. We usually don't stay in the same place twice, but I would definitely consider returning here.

We stayed for a long weekend with the family. We all love the home and property. The creek and patio are awesome. Location is great. Close to town and yet private. We will book here again

We loved our stay at the cabin! The cabin was adorable and very comfortable for our family of four. We loved playing and fishing in the creek. The location is perfect and closer to lots of activities (we enjoyed horseback riding and a trip to Brasstown Bald). If you are looking for a peaceful escape in North Georgia, I would highly recommend!

Great location with easy access to town and activities. Felt very private even though there were other houses nearby. Grandson loved playing in the little stream on the property. Nice mix of indoor and outdoor spaces.

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house met all our needs and the location near the creek was excellent. We also enjoyed the town of Blairsville and found many things to do. If you like hiking, you will find that north Georgia has plenty to offer.
