You can walk to Kaya Winery and it is a 1/2 mile to Frogtown Winery. Four other wineries are within minutes. We are situated with the Chattahoochee National Forest and all of its hiking possibilities right in our backyard. A five minute walk to our pond winds through a shady forest trail.

The hosts were very welcoming, and the accommodations were beautiful! Had an amazing view of the sunset and walking trails through the woods. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience, I’ll definitely be back!
Must say that the location is very convenient. It is very close to many cool places in Georgia. I would recommend Helen and they have a very neat antiques shop. Anna ruby falls id not too bad of a drive either. Mrs.Tina was very kind to us and I would recommend a stay with her.
We had an incredible time - the property is lovely and the location’s proximity to many wineries and stunning viewpoints made the weekend a magical experience.
We had an excellent stay at this property. The property was beautiful! The room was clean and nicely decorated. Tina and Jay were fantastic hosts. They went above and beyond to make our stay special. The property is close to multiple wineries and hiking as advertised. Everything we wanted to do was in close proximity. We would highly recommend staying here.
Beautiful location, beautiful property, and a wondeful lodging!! Our place was clean, beautifully appointed, and so quiet. Tina could not have been a better host! Hope to make a return visit!
We enjoyed our stay over Christmas. Jay and Tina were so kind to me and my son and we loved getting away from it all, the unreal sunsets and welcoming, relaxing environment.
Just went on a short weekend trip for our anniversary and could not have picked a better place. Absolutely a wonderful place to stay and in the middle of a beautiful area! It was perfectly located in the middle of everything we wanted to see and do! Would definitely stay again!

Beautiful surroundings. Room was perfect for our weekend getaway.
The place was so quiet and peaceful. We walked down to the pond, enjoyed the spectacular views and the bed was so comfortable! Would definitely return!
My daughter (teen) and I stayed one night as we passed through on our way home from visiting family close to Atlanta. I wish we had longer to stay! We explored some of the property but would have loved to see more! The room was so clean and comfortable with all amenities we needed. Directions were clear and the hosts were absolutely lovely! We even left with a sunflower bouquet!
This place was above the bar. It was very clean, and the property was so beautiful. Easy to find, and the driveway was very easy to navigate.The doggies were sweet as well. Got to meet the property owner when my Starbucks cup fell out of my car door, and one of the puppies decided it was time to play catch me if you can. Haha. The owner was very sweet and even helped me get the cup. We would definitely stay there again.
We visited for a short two day trip to Dahlonega. The room had everything we needed for our visit. The property grounds are beautiful! We enjoyed seeing the alpacas everyday and being able to pet and feed them. The short little hike down the path to the pond was also great! Would definitely recommend staying at this property!
We enjoyed our time here. The place is lovely, including the views. We picked a great time to visit during the Christmas season—Dahlonega and Helen were beautifully lit for the holiday. Great little place with wonderful hosts.
We stayed here for a friend’s wedding at Kaya just down road and were able to visit a few of the wineries in the area while we were there. The spot was great and the owners were very kind. Would highly recommend for your next visit to Georgia wine country.
We had an amazing time and thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The lodging was everything it said it was! Perfect location and loved the place! Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to stay here! Thank you so much for making our time so enjoyable!
Wonderful stay at Cardinal Hill cottage. Beautiful views, peaceful atmosphere and alpacas! Tina was a great host and not one detail was overlooked. The place was beautifully decorated and so comfortable! My sisters and I will be back for another visit soon.
Great location between Cleveland and Dahlonega on Beautiful Property!
We enjoyed our stay at Cardinal Hill. The owners’ listing and photos were all accurate. The apartment was very clean and well appointed with anything we needed. We would definitely stay again!
I stayed here with 2 friends for a quick girls getaway! Everything was wonderful! We couldn’t beat the location! The space had a cottage feel and was warm and welcoming! I would stay here again in a heartbeat!
