About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Home away from Home. Pet friendly.

Come relax in a comfortable home in a small GA town that still believes in quaint stores, friendly service & good food. Dogs are welcome for an additional pet fee. (details below).
Toccoa hosts free country/jazz/rock bands downtown every Saturday night during certain summer months. Winter may drop a couple inches of snow and summer brings plenty of sunshine. We are 30 miles from Helen which is a stunning German themed town. Keep driving and you will be deep in the mountains within minutes. Toccoa falls is 5 mins away, Tallulah gorge 17 miles and within 30 miles in almost any direction, you are in the mountains. Bikers are welcome to bring their bikes and enjoy the curvy mountain rides!
There is a burn barrel should you want a relaxing evening fire with outdoor furniture and folding chairs available in the shed for your use. There is a gas BBQ grill in the shed. (If you prefer a charcoal fire, there is a small charcoal grill on the front porch).
There are Roku TV's in every room with regular TV service (make sure to take your sign in information if you subscribe to any specific platforms such as Netflix or Prime). There is video surveillance on the property which you can utilize to keep an eye on your dogs while away by contacting the host for access. There is free Wi-Fi available that is able to handle any devices you wish to bring.
There is a double carport for covered parking. Parking for a camper or trailer is also available.
There is a $50 pet fee per dog which can be added by clicking edit the number of guests once you are on the booking page. NO dogs on the beds or furniture please!! If you have more than one dog, the fee is $50 per dog payable directly to the owner. (There is a large dog crate available) Please contact owner for details and approval if you have multiple dogs.

Mother’s Day Weekend Girl’s Trip!

My mother, sister, daughters and I came into town to spend Mother’s Day weekend with my recently widowed stepmom. The home was the perfect home away from home. Couldn’t have picked a better place to stay. Will hopefully stay there again for future visits.

Real Value For The Money

For about the same price as a decent hotel, this property felt more like home, was conveniently located, and gave us room to spread out and not have to worry about disturbing neighbors, etc. Plus great communication with the property owner. Would book again and highly recommend.

This is an Awesome Place

My family has stayed at a lot of VRBO's in the past but there is no comparison to this one. Hardy was so attentive, responsive to any of our questions, and the home itself fit our every need. I've never had one so well stocked with everything we needed and more. An added perk was how centrally located it was to everything in Toccoa, but secluded enough to give you peace & quite. I would highly recommend this to anyone visiting the Toccoa area in the future.

Needed a nice place in a quiet area and this property caught my eye as a home away from home.

Description and pictures of this property do it justice. Exactly what we expected. Home away from home in a nice quiet area. Fenced in yard was a plus for my dog so she could get some much needed exercise after a 6 hour trip to burn off some energy. Very clean and well stocked with eating/ cooking supplies and food. Property owner, Hardy kept in touch and was a text or phone call away if we needed him. If we ever come this way again, we will definitely be inquiring on the property again. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

Gracious host thought of everything.

I needed some quiet time to myself, and to stay near where my daughter was at Camp Mikell. This house could have housed two couples and two kids comfortably. The host was generous with access to cooking supplies, bread, eggs, and milk. The bed was comfy. Access to Roku on TV was nice. If you've never been to Toccoa, cell phone coverage is spotty in the area, so make sure to GPS before you walk out the door. I would recommend this host and this location to a friend. Enjoy!

Ben’s Wedding

Excellent location for any event at the Toccoa waterfall. An older home that’s been modernized with all the appliances & upgraded shower area. Quiet with good separation from neighboring homes. Pet friendly was a big positive since our Yorkie is a beloved member of the family. 😁 Hardy Underhay was a kind & thoughtful host who promptly replied to all texts & made us feel welcomed. Since we had a late evening arrival, we especially appreciated his thoughtfulness in providing breakfast foods for the next morning.

The location is fantastic and the scenery is beautiful. The house has everything you could ever need and more. The host laterally thought of everything. The host communicates immediately and effectively. We had zero issues! I have already recommended it to friends and family. We can’t wait to go back ! Wish all properties were this nice. We appreciated the bagels. eggs, fruit etc. So thoughtful! We enjoyed the shower with built in music too!

Great weekend!

Me and a few buddies were in the area for a powerlifting meet. House location is so ideal, not too far from town, but off on its own for quiet nights. Host was very communicative and very friendly, was very kind to leave the fridge and pantry stocked with some things we might have needed.

We loved our stay

The property manger was SO easy to work with. I loved that milk, bread and eggs were provided, definitely made things easier for our first morning. Loved the fire pit and having wood provided. Loved the fenced in area for our fur baby to be able to run and not have to be on leash. The shower was cool. :) If I had to give any suggestions, it would be, if our stay was longer I would have liked to have somewhere to hang our clothes. For the amount of nights we stayed (3), living out of our bags was okay. Thank you for you hospitality. If we are ever back in the area , we would definitely consider staying here again. Thank you!

This is the second time we have stayed at this property. Once again everything was wonderful. Hardy is so easy to communicate with and makes sure that you have everything you need for your stay. Our dogs love the huge, fenced-in yard, and the location is great- very quiet. We come to Toccoa to visit family, and look to stay in this property every time. Thanks again!

Sweet Cabin in Toccoa

First of all, the owner is truly wonderful and communicates proactively which is appreciated. We stayed for my daughters wedding at a nearby venue. I needed room for family and this worked well. Finding the cabin can be a tad tricky in the dark, but overall the location is easy to navigate. This is definitely a cabin that accommodates pets and I should have paid more attention to the listing, although not a big deal as im not allergic. My sheets had pet hair on them, but thats the nature of things. Also there were a few palmetto bugs coming in out of the cold into the house - again, it's the woods! The well stocked keurig, coffee fixins, and the kitchen overall was generous. The owners are so kind and hospitable. Overall it is very homey with beautiful fall scenery, and served our purposes just fine as we were in/out often.

Happy Dog

I think the Dog enjoy it the most. She could not get enough of playing in the fence yard that was very large. As for the humans in our party it was just a time to relax and get away from our tourist town. This was our first Vrbo experience and it was a good one.
