Marvelous Mountain Retreat!

We enjoyed a family reunion here. It was mid-February and very cold, but we stayed warm and cozy inside this beautiful home. The view is incredible! We had been to Amicacola Falls before, and we had a view of the falls and the lodge from the back porches. Eight of us stayed comfortably here. The location is very private and quiet, and it was easy to find. Everything is just as advertised. We will definitely return!

Amazing Get Away

If you are looking for an out of the way vacation oasis, this property fits the bill. Very private home, well maintained with all that you need. Spectacular views of the mountains at sunrise and sun set from the three levels of decks. Large family group had a great time and this house was perfect for us to catch up, enjoy nature and relax! The only issue we had was with garbage pick up- we had to keep the garbage inside because we had a bear visit us 2 nights in a row!

Wonderful Thanksgiving with Family

We celebrated Thanksgiving with our grown and married children in the Amicalola Vista House. The house is lovely, and very very clean. Each couple had their own space with plenty of area to be together also. There are a few minor furnishings problems that come with trying to stock a new house, but it is obvious that the owner and his helpers care a great deal about the comfort of their guests.

Great view!

Had a great time for my birthday! The place was super cute! A few things - the main floor was warm and never cooled down. The bugs were crazy! There was no extra toilet paper! And there wasn’t a grill to cook out, which was kind of a bummer! Other than that it was a great time!

Mountain house

Awesome view, House is okay not a 5 star,but price fair for the view this house has. Road to house not bad at all. 3 Story’s so there is stairs to go up and down.Very quiet and private, No fire pit outside and no yard area for kid to play and the gas grill was useless rusty out. Bottom floor of house had a little musty smell. But overall not a bad house for the price.

Getaway time in the Mountains

Overall we enjoyed out stay at the Amicalola Vista House. The house is nice and spacious and was very clean. There were 5 adults in our party and the home was roomy for us. However there were a few things that could use some attention. We cooked our meals during our stay and some of the pots and baking sheets really need to be replaced. Also there is no salad bowl or mixing bowls. I would also recommend that there be more silverware added. There is a very limited amount.The patio furniture on all of the decks was in need of repair or replacing. The TV in the main floor area was the only TV that you could watch anything on. There was a TV in the primary bedroom, but it could not access anything because it was not connected to WiFi. There didn't seem to be any WiFi available at all. Thankfully this was not a huge problem for us or the other guest although it was an inconvenience.There are no other TVs in the other bedrooms The fireplace was very nice and cozy. The beds were comfortable and we all slept well. So overall our party did enjoy our stay and the views from the decks are amazing. We all are game players and the dining table is great for not only eating meals together at, but also playing games. Everyone said that they would stay here again. Hopefully next stay there will be some new deck furniture that would be safe to sit in to admire that wonderful view.

Fabulous "not-so-little" getaway

This is a wonderful property with a million-dollar view of the wooden hills as far as our eyes can see. The place is very well-maintained and it is spacious enough to accommodate our 3 families. Forewarning to those with small children, there are 2 big staircases in the house. We had to maneuver some sort of barrier so that our 1 year old stayed safe. We would definitely come back again!

Beautiful Location

We were attending a wedding in the area and wanted a place where we could stay with our adult children. The property is located near Amicalola Falls State Park and we were able to easily visit the park from the house. The setting is beautiful and the home is nicely appointed. We encountered few hiccups that were out of the control of the owners. The hosts were quick to respond to questions which we appreciated and made for a positive overall experience. We would absolutely recommend staying here. I loved getting up in the morning having my coffee on the deck and watching the sun rise over the blue ridge mountains

Panoramic views over mountains and waterfall

Two families stayed during a weekend in April. It was beautiful with views far out to Amicolola waterfalls. The house had everything we needed. Wifi was fast, the fireplace a charm, and the kitchen equipped just missing a few forks and knives. Some wear and tear was definitely present. The showers downstairs were less ideal with curtains too short or water coming out too hot. Overall recommend for families with older children. We had fun staying at the house, it was very pleasant and quiet.
