Peaceful Paradise Cabin Farmhouse with Huge Hot Tub
- Address: Ponderosa Farm Road
- Location: Gainesville
- Type: Cabin
We want to be transparent and let you know that we are not hoteliers. While we do our best to make everything perfect for your stay, things can still happen and we are quick to respond in these situations. So if you're looking for a hotel-style experience, there are plenty of great options nearby. But if you're open to a more relaxed and authentic farm stay, then we'd love to have you as our guests.
Our A-frame farmhouse has been upgraded with modern interiors for a comfortable and stylish stay. Outside, you can enjoy the company of our two friendly horses, relax by the giant fire pit in the horse pasture, or take a stroll to admire the scenic bridges and streams. Please note that there is a 5% tourist fee and a 7% sales tax added to your booking, and this goes directly to the state and county. Early Check in/Late Checkout $25 per hour. Please reach out to the host for availability.
During your stay, our horse caretaker will stop by to feed and water the horse. They will not disturb you or enter the property, as their only goal is to keep the horse happy and healthy. Our farmhouse is in a private, peaceful, and serene location, but still within easy reach of cities like Gainesville, GA.
We recommend bringing your own car for convenience and exploring the surrounding area. Our property has plenty of parking space and amenities such as WiFi, Netflix, and Dish for your entertainment. You'll also have access to three bedrooms and bathrooms for a comfortable stay with your loved ones.
Please note that parties and events are not allowed on our property. Any violation will result in eviction and loss of your deposit. We do allow dogs with prior approval, but unfortunately, we cannot host cats due to owner allergies. You can even use our hot tub, which is cleaned weekly, but we ask guests to rinse off before using it and to keep the cover closed to prevent dirt and debris. If you would like the hot tub to be cleaned on your arrival day, you can schedule a drop-in cleaning for an additional fee.
We charge a damage waiver instead of a security deposit, which covers up to $2500 in damages. Please make sure to smoke outdoors and dispose of cigarette butts properly to prevent any fire hazards. We do not allow any parties or events on our property, and any violation will result in the full loss of the damage deposit.
We will provide you with all the necessary information for your stay, and we can't wait to welcome you to our rustic farmhouse. Come and experience the charm of farm life and relax in the tranquil surroundings of our property. See you soon!

We truly had a great time. The privacy and such beautiful piece of property, yet close enough to everything. The cabin is very comfortable, I would definitely recommend it and hope to go back. Also Raisin is very sweet and I loved giving him some carrotsJamie M - Posted: 4/21/2026

The house is very nice and everything was just as described. The beds are a bit firm, not badly so, so beware in case this an issue for you. Not really a complaint though. The property is far enough from town to be peaceful but close enough when you want something. I chatted with the property managers and they were super nice. The horse is great too. Loves carrots.Rick R. - Posted: 4/6/2026

We had a nice time during our time here!! Check in process was easy! Salty Dogg & Kristi were always in touch with us and answered questions quickly. Hot tub was wonderful..Raisin was our best friend too! Everything we needed to cook was available! The only tips I would suggest are have extra toilet paper & garbage bags available on property & maybe get a mattress topper for the master bed..it’s very stiff. Other than that, it was near perfection. Great location, we did a fishing day trip, hiked, and ate out a some great spots..all within 15 min of the house! Thank you for the great stay!!Neely f - Posted: 3/22/2026
We enjoyed our stay at the Farm House! Everything was clean and the property had everything we needed! Raisin (horse) is super sweet and an added bonus. The location was great as we were able to easily access groceries, shopping, Blue Ridge mountains for some amazing hiking, and also get into ATL.Kristy B - Posted: 3/19/2026

This was a wonderful place for our wedding night. The beds were extremely comfy and I never enjoy hotel beds. The rooms were spacious and the kitchen offered everything you would need and all cabinets were neaty labeled for easy accessibility. The hot tub was definitely the most enjoyable part of the experience. We had glasses of champagne and talked for hours in the hot tub. Excellent stay and I will be back for a couple weekend getaway!!!Mallory B - Posted: 1/14/2026

An Amazing Fall Getaway at the Whiskey Barrel Farmhouse!Our stay at the Whiskey Barrel Farmhouse was absolutely perfect! The property is stunning in the fall-my kids and my dog had the best time playing in the colorful leaves. We even took family photos on the gorgeous wooden bridge, and the horse wandered into the background, making the pictures even more magical.The house itself was super clean, cozy, and beautifully maintained. The hot tub was such a relaxing bonus after our long days exploring and playing outside. It truly felt like the perfect autumn escape.We loved it so much that we’re already hoping to book again for Thanksgiving next year. Highly recommend this property for anyone looking for a peaceful, picturesque, and family-friendly farmhouse stay!Nicole M - Posted: 11/14/2025

The home itself was beautiful and in a great location, but unfortunately, our experience was ruined by a roach infestation that started on our second night. We began seeing roaches in the kitchen, and the next morning, baby roaches were crawling inside a loaf of bread we had just purchased the day before.I immediately contacted the property manager and sent photos. When she came to inspect, she pulled out the bottom drawer under the stove and found two sticky traps already placed there — one of which had seven or eight large roaches stuck to it. That made it clear the problem existed before our stay. She applied powder behind the stove and sink, but we continued to see baby roaches every night afterward.The manager said the owner would reach out about a partial refund, but no one ever contacted me. Later, I was told the owner would only refund one night, which felt unfair given that the infestation was ongoing and clearly pre-existing. To make matters worse, after our stay, I was charged a pet fee even though I had reached out multiple times before arrival (on the 5th, 11th, and 20th) to pay it in advance as they stated its to be paid 3 days prior to arrival. It’s disappointing because the home itself was lovely, but the cleanliness, pest issue, and lack of proper follow-up made for a stressful and unpleasant experience. I hope management addresses this properly for future guests.Tiana R - Posted: 11/5/2025
We were very disappointed in the cleanliness of the outdoor space- furniture not at all clean. The area was nice but we didn’t use. The kitchen was clean and well stocked with dishes, etc. The fan in the downstairs bedroom was filthy. The grill was dirty and the hot tub lid was moldy- although the hot tub itself was clean. We did enjoy the quiet and horses. There was something that appeared to be spots of mold in the main floor bathroom wallTherese F - Posted: 10/20/2025

Stayed here with some buddies while visiting for an event we go to every year in the area. The hot tub is a nice touch, and a great way to relax at the end of a long day. It was awesome having horses and being able to pet them and feed them carrots (not too many). Very peaceful place, and had everything we needed to enjoy the weekend there! We will definitely be back next year!Jamie - Posted: 5/11/2025

This place is amazing! The house is beautiful, secluded, and quiet. We saw deer, a fox, and of course the horses, Chutes & Raisin who love eating carrots.
The entire area is beautiful and Gainesville is a surprisingly hip town with a ton of great dining options.

The cabin was beautiful and a great place for a girl's weekend. We enjoyed the main areas and kitchen for talking and eating together. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked with utensils, pans, other things. We loved seeing the horses too. The host had texted me, but I was driving from 3hrs away and hadn't had a chance to respond. She called me at 6:30, 3 of the other girls were already there, and she seemed upset that there were 3 cars there and didn't seem to believe there were only 6 of us. All of us were coming from different places except the 2 that are sisters. There were 5 cars for 6 people. There was no mention of a car limit. She called again at 8pm while we were at dinner and the tone was icky. She kept saying "are you SURE there's only 6 people?" she asked me that several times over the phone. I told her she could come over and count us if she wanted to and that's when she eased off. It is a beautiful place, but the host interactions weren't great.Maduumeethaa M - Posted: 10/11/2024
Hi there! We are so glad you enjoyed our home and apologize if you felt our Property Manager was curt. We have had a significant amount of people book the house for a small amount of guests and then throw huge parties that we have to stop so she was just trying to prevent an issue. As you can imagine, all the guests that have done this have assured us they were not going to do that, but I know you guys were truly not so our apologies if it came across rude, that was not the intent. Hope you enjoyed yourselves and got to hang with the horses a bit too.My Salty Dog Vacation staff

This cabin is a must stay if your in the Gainesville area. Only 7 mi away from Chateau Elon. It's quite and peaceful. The Host Krista and Property Manager Carla was very responsive.

This farmhouse had a charming character combined with some comforts which created a nice escape. The kitchen was well-equipped. But the real highlight was the hot tub! It was pure bliss. We were able to enjoy some of the nature (deer, butterflies, cardinals (and other birds). Horses were present, but the disappointment was that we couldn’t ride them. The location was pretty good, offering a peaceful retreat. However, the spiders and cobwebs in the house was not exactly what we expected or welcomed! Our hosts were friendly and accommodating.Tina R - Posted: 8/20/2024
Thank you so much for choosing the farmhouse. We agree, the hot tub with the woods all around and nature-pure bliss!

Very nice property, very responsive host(s). The only negative was the wifi in the house was quite spotty, I'd say it worked about 40-50% of our stay. I know there's not much to be done about it if it's an ISP problem, but figure it's worth mentioning.Jacob L - Posted: 7/19/2024

Peaceful, rustic cottage with plenty of room and 5-10 min from several grocery stores. Super peaceful and safe property. In addition to the horses, we saw deer, rabbits, baby birds and even a turtle.

The property is beautiful, with lots of trees and set back from the road. The hot tub was a a nice bonus. The great room/ kitchen area was lovely and worked well for our consulting partner meetings during our annual work and play retreat. The kitchen is well stocked with utensils, dishes, pots and pans. There were some great restaurants in nearby Gainesville and we enjoyed a spa day at Chateau Elan, which is nearby. The property manager was very responsive and helpful regarding questions. The bedrooms are located one to each floor, so the top level one was quite warm during the hot spell while we were there. Their chestnut horse Chutes was a sweetheart.Theresa P - Posted: 6/28/2024

Clean, comfortable accommodations in a nice location. The home is set back quite a ways from the main road, so we felt quite secluded. A little street noise can still be heard, however, so if you're looking for complete tranquility, you might be disappointed. No problem for us, though.

We rented this home for my niece's birthday 5th birthday party. It was an Alice in Wonderland-themed party and this property was perfect for that setting. The property, the house, the hot tub, and the horses were all perfect! The manager, Carla, was extremely communicative for anything that we needed at any time. She even got the house ready for us to check in a day early! The stay was perfect and we had lots of family in and out to visit the property. The only issue I would bring up is this: After checking out, we received a phone call from an irked Carla falsely accusing us of smoking in the house, leaving it completely trashed, etc. After the call, I received many text messages of photos from all the atrocities. There were a few dishes in the sink, a bowl that was left downstairs, a table moved askew on the deck, and a corn hole game, which we deliberately left thinking they would enjoy it. It really just kind of put a spoiler on the perfect week we had just had, especially when they had just sent us a message saying "this is your vacation, clean if you want to."Laysha P - Posted: 5/28/2024
We were in town for a high school graduation. This home was ideally located and large enough for three couples to enjoy. Our alternative was to stay in a local hotel. We ultimately saved and had the convenience of a large comfortable home to enjoy. The property was very private and had the added feature of a pasture with two beautiful horses to admire. The horses were great neighbors and no problem as someone came to feed and care for them. We were within two miles of several large well stocked grocery stores and gas stations. Best of all, was our close proximity to Flowery Branch where our various events took place. Krista was a pleasure to work with and made our stay a success.John M - Posted: 5/28/2024

It really just kind of put a spoiler on the perfect week we had just had, especially when they had just sent us a message saying "this is your vacation, clean if you want to."Laysha P. - Posted: 5/28/2024
We were in town for a high school graduation. This home was ideally located and large enough for three couples to enjoy. Our alternative was to stay in a local hotel. We ultimately saved and had the convenience of a large comfortable home to enjoy. The property was very private and had the added feature of a pasture with two beautiful horses to admire. The horses were great neighbors and no problem as someone came to feed and care for them. We were within two miles of several large well stocked grocery stores and gas stations. Best of all, was our close proximity to Flowery Branch where our various events took place. Krista was a pleasure to work with and made our stay a success.John - Posted: 5/27/2024

We booked this beautiful house for 2 weeks while my husband was working on one of the military bases down there. We have 4 kids ages 2-15 and they all loved it. Plenty of space. They had plenty of room to run and play. The hot tub was a huge hit. The back patio was an absolute dream! We can’t forget horses. My kids loved watching them and feeding them carrots.Emily D - Posted: 4/29/2024

Beautiful cozy hideaway. Great use of space on the property. The road the property is on is a little busy for my liking but there was plenty of space between the house and the road. The horses were so sweet and my furbaby was so fascinated with them she just watched them while her tail wagged the whole time. The property is 5-10 mins away from multiple grocery stores and restaurants for quick outings. The property manager was very helpful and kind. Overall this was a wonderful location to just relax.Tawny M - Posted: 4/16/2024

I truly can't rave enough about this listing & the stay we had. My now husband and I used this property to relax before & after our wedding AND for getting hair & makeup done the day of on 11/10. The space was large and accomodating for all our needs! The hottub is to die for and their sweet baby boy Chute (the light brown horse) is a literal angel. The customer service they provide is unmatched. This property is a secludex piece of nature & relaxation in the middle of a bustling town. Being there feels absolutely unreal. Somehow you're in the middle of a gorgeous, private 4 acre farm, yet Ingles is 6 minutes away. The house itself is beautifully built with an amazing main shower & plenty of picturesque locations. We loved every moment of our stay. Carla & her husband Mike were so helpful, caring & accomodating throughout our stay. Without you needing to ask, they (as well as Krista & the rest of the Salty Dogs Vacations team) will be there for everything and anything you need.Asiyah H - Posted: 11/13/2023

House and farm in a great location for us. Easy house check-in with keypad. Bedrooms arranged with one on each floor. Horses were freely roaming the first day, and then confined to one area by the caretaker thereafter, meaning we did not have to worry about the ropes blocking the entrance. Hot tub was great. Communication and responses were prompt and helpful. We had a great time !Carolyn H - Posted: 9/26/2023

Overall my short stay was great! The inside of the house was clean nice and comfy. The outside needs a little TLC. We couldn't really enjoy the outside because of all the spiders and spider webs. It gave me spooky house vibes at first. Lol. Krista was a great host and she checked in to make sure we were okay.Nolita D - Posted: 8/21/2023
The house is great: 3 floors, 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms. Nice sitting areas insideandoutside. Kitchen works, but watch your head & bring your own skillet. Too hot to use the hot tub. We enjoyed AC inside. Even though they said they knocked them down before we arrived, spiders & webs were all over the porch areas, stairs, & chairs. We really had to watch where we walked. (Took a broom to them & they did not reappear the next day.) After our 3 night stay, we went straight to a car wash to be sure we didn’t travel with them. They are interesting, but very encroaching creatures! Be forewarned: The day of checkout, we were charged $500! They said it was for any damage done & was "just pending". However, no mention of this was made in any communication we had online. Also, there are 3 points of contact- Vrbo, the owner, & the caretaker. It was a bit confusing. It's furnished well (except the bed in basement sinks in the middle). TV works well. Nice gas stove. They've made the most of the square footage. Horses were pretty to see. It's peaceful that way, just needs regular maintenance especially outdoors.Beth D - Posted: 8/15/2023

Really lovely stay- at one point the gate was open- which we were blamed for- which we had been gone all day but i understand why it would be pinned on us.

The house and land was serene. The location was perfect for what we wanted! We loved the hot tub and enjoyed the beautiful nature around us. The one thing I will say is that while the property claims to be dog friendly, I would not bring your dog here. After booking, we were told that the horses are not at all dog friendly and have had past incidents with dogs. We thought this would be fine as we would just keep our dog away from the horses. But the horses were literally in the driveway when we showed up, making unloading with our large German shepherd very challenging! If you stay here, leave your dog at home!Garrison F - Posted: 5/14/2023
Hi there! As stated in our public listing, dogs must be either on a leash or voice command if in field with horses. Our understanding from the property manager is that you arrived just a little bit early and she was moving the horses to the pasture where pups are not allowed. As described in the listing, the only incidents with pups has been years ago when my dogs entered to field and chased the horses….the horses won. We highly encourage people to being their pups as the horses stay on 4 acres but pups have a separate 3 acres to play on except when the horses have to move for feeding purposes. Over six years we have only had positive puppy feedback on the farm so I am very sad to see a recommendation to not bring pets to our farm. I truly am sorry if your pup was not able to enjoy the farm as I’m a huge animal lover and try to make my home as puppy friendly as can be.My Salty Dog Vacation staff
The home is on a beautiful wooded lot, and offers lots of privacy. We loved having 3 bedrooms, each on their own floor and with a bathroom on each floor as well - a very well structured home plan. We spent time on the front and back decks and made use of the hottub. The house was very clean and comfortable in every way. The horses on property were fun to feed and watch (we brought carrots and made sure to follow the instructions on how much, and what not to feed the horses). I would stay here again if the opportunity arises. Highly recommend!Lisa B - Posted: 4/24/2023

What a cute place and the owners really went above and beyond to update it. Close to where we needed to be, quiet and very well supported by the listing agent. Will definitely stay there again when we come back. Only truly minor issue was we could not find one light switch to turn off one light and never got the TV to work, but no worries.

Such a special property. The lighter colored horse was so sweet and welcomed me every time I drove up, loved hearing the owls and seeing the deer every morning. The wind chime off the master made it feel like I was falling asleep at a spa.
Enjoyed being able to walk around the property in the morning with coffee, reading on the porches and the hot tub was great.
Close to Kroger/ Ingles and Publix isn’t far.

We had such a lovely time! We picked this location for its secluded nature and its dog-friendliness. We were not disappointed! We enjoyed spending most of our time on-property. Our dogs had a BIG time running through the woods, the hot tub was lovely, and the property manager was very friendly, communicative, and promptly resolved a tiny issue we had. The bed was comfortable and the kitchen was lovely. Wifi was really good! My partner had to work for a day and take a video call with great speeds. Huge plus! Regarding other reviewers’ mentions of a long list of rules—the only rules we read were meant to keep people and animals safe. Some mentioned things that are common sense for people who live with them (like living on a septic tank—there are some reasonable considerations there) but wouldn’t be common sense for people who are not. We found the rules entirely reasonable, the owners’ welcome letter warm and personable, and were so grateful with the care and concern they clearly take for each guest and all their animals. We would highly recommend this property for romance, remote working, and puppies, and would certainly stay again!Sarah S - Posted: 1/22/2023

Hi Sarah, this is Krista the owner of the farm and I truly wanted to thank you for your words. We do love the farm, our horses and our guests and put so much care into trying to make it great for everyone while keeping it working (with septic not clogged, no fireworks terrifying the horses, etc). I'm a really direct person and so sometimes my "tone" seems tough but it's really not and I have worked so hard to make the "rules" just things to help keep the property great while still making sure every guest can have the best time ever at the farm. I sincerely appreciate you caring and understanding what I'm trying to accomplish-it made my day to see your kind words. If you ever want to come stay at the farm again, or one of our properties in Florida (and we're adding Montana too) reach out and I'd love to give you a great discount as you are the type of person we always want to host! Hope 2023 is a great year for you!My Salty Dog Vacation staff

Unfortunately the first thing that hit us when we opened the door was a smell, probably from pets that had been in the property but it was very off putting for us. Property manager did drop off some Lysol the next day which we used to try and eliminate the smell. We found several bugs around the cabin, both dead and alive. The place looks larger in the photos and could use some TLC. The sofas were very comfortable with reclining positions to watch TV. The list of things to do and NOT to do were so long that we had to re-read so we didn't forget anything. Proximity to shops was a bonus.Aggie V - Posted: 12/31/2022

The property itself was fine. However, as soon as we reserved, we started getting emails from third party entities that owned and/or managed the property: Salty Dog Vacations and Whiskey Barrel Farmhouse. I am used to getting direct texts or emails from the owner. An attempt was made to charge us a second pet fee through one of these third party entities. I had to forward the original reservation to the owner to show that I had already paid. Check in time on VRBO was listed as 3:00 PM; third party entity tried to change it to 4:00PM and charge an extra fee. We received an almost 3 page list of do's and don'ts which made us nervous to do anything while there. We received multiple emails about check out time, both the day before leaving, and that morning, also stating we would be charged extra if we left late. So we were very rushed trying to get out in time-left 2 items, one of which was of sentimental value. Through multiple communications with the caretaker who live across the street-I finally had to send a prepaid box to her; and still it was over a week after that before she put the items in her mailbox. We did not receive the items until 5 weeks later.Cindy S - Posted: 12/23/2022

This is a cozy house perfect for our group consisting of 3 couples. There is a bedroom & bathroom on each of the three floors. This allowed for separation and privacy. The kitchen was a nice gathering area for breakfast and for chatting. The property is secluded and quiet. There are 2 horses. We saw deer and a heron. After we checked in the manager/ care taker of the property was quick to respond to our requests.Kevin M - Posted: 12/20/2022

The farm was one of the best VRBOs we have ever stayed at. The property was a perfect get-a-way surrounded by woods with so much space in the house and wonderful amenities. Also, not every place has a hot tub which was clean and relaxing…we all enjoyed it each night. I can’t forget to mention the horses who were so friendly and willing to put up with some city folk. Everything was communicated in enough time for us to plan our trip out there and were so helpful while we were there. We will be back again.Steve G - Posted: 10/12/2022
We were a little frustrated with our stay. The outside looked a little let go with leaves all over the patio furniture and spiderwebs on everything. The selling point of this cabin was the outside area to spend some time with our friends, but no one really wanted to go out there due to the space being riddled with webs and dirty seating. My friend’s truck was damaged by one of the horses, and no effort was made to remedy the situation. The TV upstairs did not work. There was no hand soap upstairs. Otherwise, the cabin was cute and we appreciate you having us.Jeremy C - Posted: 10/9/2022
Hi Jeremy, so sad to hear you did not have a five star experience at the farm. We work really hard to make it great. I believe your stay was right after Hurricane Ian winds over 35mph. I completely apologize that we were not able to get someone out there prior to your stay to get that better cleaned up-that is completely on me, I sincerely do apologize. I'm usually very on top of things like that but I want to share that I live in Daytona Beach and we were devastated during Ian; going many days without running water/internet/power and house flooded...the stress was so bad here that one one of my closest friends and co-workers took his own life that week because it was a tremendous amount to handle here. At the end of the day, I was unprepared and emotionally devastated by our personal losses and the loss of my friend and co-worker the week of your stay. That's not an excuse, I just want you to know that there is reason behind you guys not hearing from me personally during your stay and some of these items not getting the attention they deserved. I honestly was overwhelmed and apologize that I did not have the chance to handle the wind effects on the farm and that affected your stay. For the car, Carla told me about the light cover being damaged and I asked her to ask the guest what we needed to do. She said he told her it was no big deal and she was under the impression he did not want anything, however, then and now, I'm happy to compensate him for that (and I will be having a talk with Raisin about this when I'm in town to let him know that is not ok). If Carla misunderstood that no worries, just let me know what he needs. Again, I am sorry to hear that the farm was not the magical experience for you that I would have hoped. I hope you guys consider coming back to try us again in the future and see if we can turn it into a 5-star experience.My Salty Dog Vacation staff

This place is an absolute hidden gem! I couldn’t have asked for a better weekend getaway, the hot tub was amazing and huge. I felt just as at home here as I do in my own home. Krista 🌸 was amazing, communication was a breeze. I can vouch and say that they are 100% truly laid-back. I will definitely be coming back.

Beautiful location and unique house. Great access to Lake Lanier and Atlanta. I'm sure it can be an amazing place to stay, however we were disappointed when the owner contacted us 2.5 hours before check-in, leaving a message about water damage on first floor and the construction wasn't completed in time before our stay, as well as citing our check-in was a day later than our stay. It gave us quite the scare when we got the message after a visit to the rest area on the way to the rental. Things happen, however we would have appreciated a little more notice. And, if you're in the middle of construction please, please send your cleaning crew before you have guests. We spent the first 3 hours of our vacation stay cleaning the floors and surfaces on the first floor to make it safe for our toddler and dog. The dehumidifier took a couple days to make it comfortable on the lower levels as well. The place truly is beautiful. Just wish our experience was handled a little better. No one checked to make sure we were okay and that may have made the difference given the situation. FYI - If you don't like spiders, this is not a good place for you. Otherwise, it's really cool to see how fast they can spin webs. One morning my husband got quite the scare stepping out the upstairs door as it was blocked by a 2 inch spider with it's web across the doorway. Our toddler was completely fascinated.Brandie P - Posted: 9/17/2022

Very cute and cozy, private little house tucked in the woods convenient to many north Georgia destinations. Or boys loved having their own floor, not to mention the horses and swing. My hubs and I appreciated the kitchen amenities, grill and quiet. Would be great for a multiple couples getaway or girls trip bc each bedroom and bathroom are on their own floor with additional speeding out space. We had a very nice weekend stay - our boys didn't want to leave. Only cons: the hot tub wasn't working while we were there. Krista let us know before check in but it was a last minute booking and that would have affected our decision. Maybe not the place for you if you have trouble with steps; they're pretty steep. You can definitely tell it's pet friendly by the dog odor in the lower floor.Amy B - Posted: 5/22/2022

Overall this was a great location to get away, plus the distance to Road Atlanta was great. However we did have issues within the unit. The main one being the first floor toilet would not drain properly and sewage backfilled into the shower. That shower and toilet were unusable and 1/3 of our party had to use the other bathrooms. The other issues were mild in comparison. Communication was very poor as well, aside from the property manager, Carla, who was great to work with. The horses were adorable and fun to feed carrots to.Brianna G - Posted: 3/7/2022

We only planned a 2 night stay, but enjoyed our time at the farm! The horses are a wonderful addition to the sweet southern charm of the home. I will say the pictures online didn’t do the home justice. It’s better than expected. It was all decorated for Christmas and just so cute! The horses greeted us every day and were very friendly. The farm is pet friendly and even our fur babies got to join in on the fun! The rule list seems intimidating, but when you read through it’s really common sense requests due to others not being respectful. We had no issues during our stay, although the home is 3 stories so don’t panic if the downstairs drains a little slowly when the upper stairs bathrooms are in use (everyone showering causes a bit of backup as it all uses the same drain). Overall, we had a wonderful time and would visit again ❤️Kristen A - Posted: 1/3/2022

Super close to the track and adequate to park a car hauler even though it is pretty secluded in the woods. Master is spacious and hot tub is large. Be aware that is a pet friendly rental and it is noticeable when you walk in the door, but if you are looking for a pet friendly place it is hard to beat. Horses on site are always looking for your attention. If coming to Road Atlanta wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.Brandon R - Posted: 11/24/2021

I apparently missed the red flags with this one. I have never had an Airbnb send such long messages filled with things NOT to do and threats of getting fined and why you will be fined and don’t you dare take their tupperware… The obsession with the hot tub was fascinating especially because we quickly realized the hot tub is not that nice and the thing that helps you get the lid up and down is broken. We used it once for a short period of time which is unfortunate because it was one of the main reasons I booked this place. It also seems like they have a management team copying and pasting these messages as the little I did say was not responded to with any normal conversation which is fine but not welcoming at all. The messages were stressful and we felt uncomfortable in the house like we could get fined for any silly thing. I understand they have been screwed before but why put that on your future guests before they even arrive? The property itself, the house, the horses, and the woman that owns the horses were lovely. The kitchen is nice to use and I loved having tea on the front porch and looking out over the pastures. Spending time with horses was awesome. Everything in the house was very clean.Megan O - Posted: 10/29/2021

The Pros- The property is beautiful, peaceful, and centrally located- it feels very private/secluded but is close to most everything. The house is spacious and provided plenty of space for my family of 5- all of which are adults. The horses are friendly and enjoy a treat of carrots (get a bag, as they love them). The rope swing was a blast for my entire family. And the hot tub was a good way to unwind in. The owner/manager was fairly easy to communicate with. Not perfect, but fairly easy and accommodating. The beds and furniture were comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked. The cons- The property is very wooded so the house is pretty dark inside. The house was rather dirty and really could use a more frequent deep cleaning. Their cleaner would not last at any of my rentals. The cleanliness of the property is my only real complaint and is the reason my review isn’t rated higher. There was some minor damage, and wear and tear, from previous tenants that is in the process of being addressed.Dan C - Posted: 10/22/2021

We had a fun stay at this farm house with 2 families (4 adults and 4 kids, plus our pup). Communication could be slightly better, but the essentials were communicated. The place is clean, but not sparkling. The location is wonderful, and our kids enjoyed petting the horses and feeding them grass and carrots. The upstairs bedroom stays a little warmer than the rest of the cabin, but there is a fan. Overall, it was a good experience.Kate L - Posted: 8/2/2021
Really nice property. Cool feeding the horses and enjoying the land. Somebody had clearly previously trashed the place, so the rules are very strict, almost to the point of having to worry about being fined or in trouble for things as simple as using the hot tub or having friends come by to visit. As long as you follow all of the rules and keep the place metoculous you should be fineGregory H - Posted: 7/30/2021

The house was great with plenty of room to spread out. The welcoming committee (the horses) was great to see everytime we would arrive back after a long day out. The property is tucked away on a large piece of land and was very quiet and peaceful. We loved that the house was 4 miles from Road Atlanta so made driving back and forth from the track quick and easy.Audrey W - Posted: 7/13/2021

This was the perfect place for us! We enjoyed the horses, hot tub, and quietness the cabin offered. Carla, the property manager, lives across the street and was beyond helpful as we planned our days activities around the area. We had plenty of room for our family and the kitchen was stocked with everything we needed for cooking at home. We would stay here again for sure!Bethany H - Posted: 7/6/2021

Great cabin with tons of amenities and thoughtful touches to make it a great get-away for a short or long trip. It is one of the best secluded properties with acreage I have found.

Charming and quaint doesn’t even begin to describe this little slice of paradise. Cute little home on 3 levels nestled in a beautiful little farm with plenty of shade trees and green pastures. Pulling up at night to twinkling lights all down the drive and over the porches at the house was awesome. The large hot tub on the back patio was how we ended each Day. Location to Road Atlanta is perfect and only 5 minutes away. So we’re several restaurants and grocery stores. Slept 7 very comfortably and was nice to be on different floors for extra privacy. Home is very well stocked and appointed with everything you could want or need in a rental. Only thing I’m hesitant about is leaving a review so others know how awesome the place is because my friends and I want to book it again for every race we go to and don’t want it to already by booked.Brandon L - Posted: 5/10/2021

We have stayed at numerous cabins in the North Georgia mountains over the past 10 years or so. Though this is not as north as we would like to be, we were in town for a weekend at Road Atlanta. This farmhouse is just amazing!!! The property, the horses, the house itself, EVERYTHING. You absolutely will not be disappointed. The upgrades within the house make it extremely homey and welcoming. We are very much looking forward to staying here again. Look no further, you have found your stay!Lisa R. - Posted: 4/8/2021

Having a "great" experience is not necessarily everything going right. Sometimes it takes things going wrong to learn the greatness of your host. In this case, we arrived to find the outdoor areas seemingly vandalized. Jacuzzi parts were laying on the ground, the grill was rusted out with parts laying in the bushes, and the fire pit seating had been thrown into a bonfire. The next day, we preheated the oven for a frozen pizza at lunchtime and the house filled with smoke. Krista's response was to calmly sort and correct each issue quickly. A new grill was delivered to the house before dinner, the jacuzzi was serviced the following day, the fire pit was sorted, and the cleaning service arrived within the afternoon to clean the oven by hand. Krista offered to release us from the stay and refund our money. We opted for the refund of the first evening when so much was terrible and stay for the balance of our reservation. This decision was a result of Krista's care for us as our host and Carla's representation of Krista locally. Carla was kind and caring.

Cute house loved it! Can’t wait to visit again! Only thing to know is there is a security chime that goes off in the house when anyone drives into the driveway, and the horse people came super super early to feed the horses and in the afternoon, didn’t bother us much but just to be aware! Super cute horses and beautiful land :) Amazing hosts too!Hannah - Posted: 12/19/2019

I loved this cabin in the woods! It’s close to everything you’ll need, while feeling a million miles away. The wooded property is off the road and the horses make you feel like your on a farm in the country! The home was clean and decorated for the holidays, creating a warm inviting space. The kitchen had everything you could need to eat in or simply warm up takeout. Communication was effortless and she was extremely flexible as I planned my exact dates. Lots of space for parking too. I’ll definitely be back!Lara - Posted: 12/12/2019
Beautiful home! Honestly me and my friends spent most of our time in the hot tub, which was massive and very clean. She had everything there needed for me to cook a large meal and clean up afterwards. Unfortunately it rained all weekend so we didn't get to poke around the grounds or use the fire pit but the horses still came to eat carrots from the kids.
Someone was very sweet and left a bottle of fireball in the freezer.
We also think it's cute that the horses get excited like puppies and run to the gate to see the caretaker every morning.
Overall a relaxing and homey stay that I would definitely do again.Val - Posted: 11/24/2019

We actually had such a great time and hated to leave that we extended our stay and added an additional day.

If your looking for privacy and a wonderful cabin experience, this is the place. A private room on bottom floor with its own little tv room and bathroom, a larger family section in the next floor up with large bedroom, fireplace, full kitchen, bathroom, and large tv, and another bedroom upstairs with its own bath and private balcony. Note: This room does not have a door, so you will hear any noise from middle floor. All in all a cool cabin experience.Michael - Posted: 10/31/2019

The jacuzzi, the rope swing, creek, my girls loved feeding Raisin , and the other horse (sorry I forgot his name). This place is paradise, love the kitchen, all the decks, great having a bathroom on each level.
Kristi is a wonderful Host!

Private, cozy, accommodating, spacious, clean, and fun, this place will keep you from wanting to leave. It's perfect for family or multi-family trips. The kitchen is chocked full of gadgets and tools and utensils and pots and pans, most things you would need for any cuisine. Every floor had a bedroom and full bath and we even took advantage of washing all of our clothes in thirty washer/dryer before heading back to real life. The outdoor space was so cool. Someone in another review complained about spiders, there are some here and there outside, but it was nothing out of the ordinary for any house; and there were no bugs or spiders in the house either.
We enjoyed our stay, sipping morning coffee or an evening beer on the balcony, listening to nature, watching Chutes and Raisin in the pasture, playing of the board games provided, cooking in a beautiful and fully equipped kitchen.

A lovely place to stay . The house and property are quiet and peaceful and there are horses.Stephanie - Posted: 9/30/2019
Our stay was great. Quiet, private and a great escape. We traveled in a group of 6 and appreciated having 3 separate floors with 3 separate bathrooms / bedrooms for each couple. We all agree the floor plan is the best we've been in for that particular reason. Not once did we inconvenience each other by having to share a bathroom.
We also enjoyed the company of Raisin & Chutes ( 2 horses located aside the house) as well as the hot tub. Upon our arrival we noticed a broken shower neck in the first floor bathroom. We advised Krista just as a heads up and she was very quick to send someone out to fix it even though we advised her that it wouldn't affect us during our stay. Highly recommend this house.Edwin - Posted: 9/10/2019

This was an amazing experience. The home was stunning the grounds were amazing – and those horses became our friends for the week.

We absolutely loved everything about Krista’s home! It was so convenient to my sisters home, and all the amenities! Such a perfect location! It was so quiet and secluded-just as we had hoped! We love a quiet secluded vacation spot! Some advertise that, but this was our exact definition of quiet and secluded!!! Our girls LOVED feeding the horses a few carrots and exploring outside! We loved that everyone had their own “level” of the home which made it perfect! The porches and the hanging lights were the perfect touch!

Krista's place is perfect for a stay in the Gainesville area. The location was conveniently located to grocery stores, restaurants and small town attractions -yet set back enough for that peaceful country feel.

We cant begin to explain how much fun we had at Kristas place. She has everything you need and more. Our kids had a blast on the rope swing in the woods. The hot tub was very clean and the grill was a nice touch as well. We definitely be planning another trip!!Cody - Posted: 3/3/2019
Great place! Close to hiking and biking.Melissa - Posted: 2/25/2019
My family & I truly enjoyed our stay with an abundance of space there where 9 of us mostly children and they loved the amount of space they all had. Our toddler loved it so much she started walking. The master bed is unbelievably comfortable & I’ve worked for a mattress store I know a thing or two. The horses were a beauty to see each morning. My nieces live in the area I visit at least once a year we fully intend to book with Krista every time if available.Chiquita - Posted: 2/22/2019
Great place; the farm house is in a good location. Krista, the host, is a superb communicator.
We will stay at the farm again.Yen - Posted: 2/17/2019

Nice place, great host, we had a lot of fun. We may want to come back another time.Kyle - Posted: 1/27/2019
Krista's farm is a great place to stay... very comfortable, easy to get to & close to all necessities but still private. All the comforts of home with a few horses thrown in! We very much enjoyed our visit.Linda - Posted: 1/14/2019
We truly loved staying in this beautiful and unique home. The size, location and amenities were perfect!
Our kids enjoyed watering and interacting with the horses, as well as playing on the Tarzan swing and in the vast yard/grounds.Wesley - Posted: 1/8/2019
Krista was an excellent host. We were visiting the area for son in law to be to propose to our daughter at Minniehaha Falls nearby. She said yes and they continued on their vacation. We enjoyed the weekend getaway with our friends. The hot tub was fabulous and a treat. We brought steaks and enjoyed the gas grill. The kitchen was well stocked with all of the dishes, pots and pans and utensils a person could possibly need. The layout of kitchen was perfect for preparation and delivery of meals. We drove the short ride to Helen for the scrumptious fudge and a walk about of the shops. We enjoyed the sound of the rain on the skylights and enjoyed the private setting at Kristas place. The baths were perfect with plenty of towels, toiletries and soaps. The hot tub was comforting and inviting. I felt so at home. I will definitely stay with Krista again if in the area.Thank you for sharing your home with us.Tina - Posted: 12/30/2018
Krista is nothing short of amazing. Trip was planned 6 months in advance and she tended to every single request I had and made my family and I feel welcomed. Responds quickly and gives you a thorough list of nearby activities along with numbers and directions of emergency services.Carlos - Posted: 12/27/2018
We were in town for a race at Road Atlanta, and this house is the perfect location for that. The house was clean and spacious. Unfortunately, it was very rainy while we were there, so we weren’t able to explore the beautiful property. We very much enjoyed the hot tub, though. Krista was very nice and thoughtful to include recommendations for the area (restaurants, attractions, etc.). We’d definitely stay here again.Lauren - Posted: 12/10/2018
Thank you very much. I had a wonderful experience and will definitely consider staying again in the future. Everything was clean and neat. I would recommend to other friends and family for sure! A great place to just get away and relax! Thank you again.Petr - Posted: 12/3/2018

Great little gem! Feel like your in the country and have all the conveniences of restaurants, groceries just 5 min away!Amy - Posted: 11/9/2018
Krista’s place and property is AMAZING! We hosted a wedding reception on the farm and everyone had an amazing time. The house was perfect to stay in after the event and was just what we needed. It’s very clean and cozy, perfect for a fall getaway. Krista is awesome and was very helpful every step of the way. We highly recommend her and the property!Nellie - Posted: 11/4/2018
Adorable & peaceful, just as described. This place has a lot of character and was so relaxing to stay at. Not to mention Krista was so accommodating!Kaleigh - Posted: 10/28/2018
The house, the sprawling property, and the overall experience of this place is beyond expectations. I highly recommend this if you need a quiet escape with access to a large city just down the street.Chris - Posted: 10/25/2018
Great amenities and gorgeous in the fall! There is plenty of space with all you need inside. Krista is also a loving host and responds quickly with any questions or concerns you might have. Definitely planning on coming back!Erika - Posted: 10/21/2018
Very relaxing home. Only a few minutes to local shopping but tucked away for a peaceful getaway. Excellent value.Karen - Posted: 10/18/2018
Wow!!! This place is incredible. From the moment you enter the 2nd floor you are amazed with the setting, the view and the home. So peaceful and tranquil. Watching the horses in the field is a real bonus. Far, far exceeded our expectations in every way. We will be back.Ralph - Posted: 10/14/2018
Great place with cozy features. A truly peaceful place to getaway (and with great convenience). It definitely exceeded our expectations.Tyler - Posted: 10/12/2018
We absolutely loved the house and area, we wanted peace and quiet and we got it. The house is cozy and beautifully decorated, we felt right at home. Our dog, Mila enjoyed it as well. Everything was clean and we had no issues at all with anything. Place is pretty easy to find also. Krista is a great host and I would definitely recommend this place to anyone!Megan - Posted: 10/9/2018
If you are planning a trip in the area, Krista's place is relaxing and very convenient. Much better than any hotel. I hope to use it again when visiting family in the area.Brad - Posted: 10/8/2018
We had such a great time at Krista’s place! The house was beautiful inside and out. Krista was great at responding and super helpful. It was nice being in such a quiet place but not being too far from town!! We will definitely visit again!!Kristin - Posted: 10/3/2018
Rented the space for my groomsman, one of which had a family. Everyone loved the space, and it was a perfect use of space for my final night before marriage. Everything was clean and setup nicely upon arrival, and Krista was very responsive and informative.Benjamin - Posted: 9/30/2018
If you like quaint, quiet, charm, country setting, and a great host, you will love this rental, off the beaten path, but close to everything you need. We love it there, 2nd time staying there.Lucille - Posted: 9/24/2018
We had a blast. We will be going back.Melissa - Posted: 9/10/2018
This place was picture perfect. Updated farm house would describe it perfectly. The home is beautiful and comfortable. The location is perfect for a get away. Country living at its finest. Would definitely stay again. The horses are an amazing bonus to see every morning.Annie - Posted: 9/7/2018
Ponderosa Farm was perfect for our family. Each set of adults had a comfortable bedroom and a bathroom on three different floors. The two young teens shared with everyone and there were no complaints! The location was great for our purpose, and we enjoyed returning to a peaceful place at the end of busy days, relaxing on the decks while watching the horses. Many thanks to Krista who was very prompt in responding when we had questions.Francoise - Posted: 9/4/2018
Loved everything!! It felt like a home away from home. 100% recommend staying here!Ashley - Posted: 8/26/2018
This place was absolutely awesome! This was our first ever AirBnB and we are hooked. Host was quick to reply to questions. Everything was better than we expected. Horses were friendly and grocery store is right down the road. Kitchen was fully stocked with dishes and cooking utensils. I would definitely stay there again.Jon - Posted: 8/23/2018
The house felt like a cabin. It was very spacious and the bathrooms were modern-like which was neat. Also, the backyard was very pretty with the lights set up and it had a bbq grill. It is not too far from Lake Lanier so that was a plus for us!Matt - Posted: 8/16/2018
Lots of accommodation. The house is a lot bigger on the inside than it looks from the outside. Three floors with a toilet and bath on each floor(which works out well for large families). Lots of outdoor space. Lots of amenities. The two balconies are great for relaxing and looking at the horses in the pasture(there were 2 horses that were really friendly). The master bedroom opens out to a back patio that was great for entertaining and just relaxing as well. We loved the layout of the place and it was furnished really well. Wish we could’ve stayed longer. The entire family felt at home.Keith - Posted: 8/8/2018
This is a lovely house in a beautiful, tranquil location! You're close to everything but you also feel away from it all! Krista goes above and beyond to assure the stay is great and was always responsive to any questions. I wish I had planned to spend more time enjoying the property! We would definitely stay again!Kylee - Posted: 8/1/2018
Our stay was lovely! The space was sparkling clean and had everything we needed in terms of living and cooking. The location is very convenient (about a 20-30 minute drive to Lake Lanier), and there are lots of really good restaurants nearby. Krista was great with responding immediately with any questions I had. If you want a nice, quiet getaway that offers lots of activities and good food nearby, Krista's place is the place for you!Bonny - Posted: 7/27/2018
The house was great, we were in town for an event and didn’t get to spend much time at the house, which was unfortunate because it was a beautiful location.Sarah - Posted: 7/22/2018
You and your family are sure to enjoy the farmhouse. Plenty of space, very good location and the host responds quickly to any needs. It's a great space to get away and enjoy some family time. Make sure you spend some time on the tarzan swing!Jerry - Posted: 7/20/2018
Absolutely an incredible home. Would highly recommend to stay!! The owner was very helpful and stayed in contact when needed. I'm at a loss of words for how amazing this house is.Katya - Posted: 7/16/2018
This is a beautiful house in a peaceful location! We loved staying here and enjoying everything it has to offer. Krista goes above and beyond to assure the stay is great. We would definitely stay again!Sarah - Posted: 7/15/2018
The farmhouse was very stylish and comfortable. It came with all the comforts of home and it was located in a nice, quiet location. Having the horses there was icing on the cake. Thank you!Peggy - Posted: 7/8/2018
Fantastic place with everything as described. I am forever a fan of an A framed house now. Very cool and secluded place that you can unwind at. By far the nicest AirBnB place I have stayed at to date. Everything was unusually clean and very thoughtfully decorated while still having the tech edge everyone wants to have while feeling they are “roughing it” 🙂
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this place to anyone staying in the area or within 50 miles!Matthew - Posted: 7/2/2018
Wonderful place!Andrew - Posted: 7/1/2018
This is an amazing home that far exceeded our expectations. There are 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms: 1 of each on the three levels. The furnishings were very tasteful pieces that added to the ambiance. The kitchen was well appointed with a wonderful Keurig and stainless appliances. The water pressure was fantastic and there was plenty of hot water. The horses were great companions and will be your best friend if you bring them carrots. There is very little about our stay that I would want to change. Krista was a fantastic host and was very responsive to questions. We will be looking to return in the not too distant future!Tracy - Posted: 6/26/2018
Highly recommend! Beautiful and quiet place on a great piece of property - with horses : ) - Perfect place for a quick getaway!Hayes - Posted: 6/22/2018
Thanks for being a super great host! The house was absolutely beautiful!Samantha - Posted: 6/20/2018
Our stay at Krista's farmhouse couldn't be more comfortable and relaxing. The house is so nice and clean and the property outside is breathtaking. Every detail was thought about. Can't wait to be back!Ana - Posted: 6/19/2018
We had an amazing stay at Krista’s farmhouse. The house is very comfortable, spacious, and feels like home. The property is gorgeous, and the horses are really friendly- we loved getting to pet them. We hope to get to visit again! Thanks for a great stay.Katy - Posted: 6/10/2018
this place is awesome! i will be booking this when i come back down!Kory - Posted: 6/7/2018
Great place awesome country place away from city life hope to visit again when not so wet out unable to take advantage of the groundsLisa - Posted: 6/3/2018
Krista's home is the 3rd one we've rented in the last 6 months and the best by far. It seems like you're off in the woods away from civilization, but yet you are close enough to get where you need to be in a short time.
We loved the decor and the coziness, the peace and quite and the beauty surrounding the house, along with the 2 horses.
You won't be disappointed. Everything was well stocked for washing clothes, bathing, etc. and every question I asked was answered in a timely manner.
Thank you Krista....we want a return trip in the fall.Lucille - Posted: 6/2/2018
