Discover Your Perfect Georgia Vacay

Cartecay River Retreat is absolutely heavenly! From the cute little coffee bar, the beautiful home decor (complete with holiday themed decor), the grill, cabinets stocked with dishes, the hot tub on the deck and the fancy wine bottle opener on the counter (very handy), Kim and Joe thought of everything! Honestly, pack light. They have everything you need when you arrive. Coffee on the deck, overlooking the river was the perfect way to start each omorning. We had such a great time over spring break with our best friends and  look forward to returning soon. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us!

Thank you Joe and Kim of Vacay Rentals For You! We loved staying in your Acworth home this past weekend. The location was so convenient for us with shopping and dining just down the road. The decor was gorgeous (I need your designers #), the rooms so spacious. My grandson loved all of the games available along with PS4. There were so many options for him to safely go outside. It was nice to have all of the house amenities, especially the coffee bar and luxury hair products. I can’t think of anything you might have missed. We look forward to staying again and hope to one day visit one of your other properties.

Beautiful property, we loved swimming in the river, enjoyed the fire pit, and being able disconnect to spend quality time with family.

Best Airbnb we’ve ever been to. The view of the river was amazing. The game room was over the top. Even the adults had a ball playing games. So much attention to detail. Host provided s’mores kit, plenty of kcups, even a snack bin full of goodies which was so nice to have upon arrival. The perfect little getaway!

We had a wonderful time at Kim’s place, it was everything the listing said it would be and more. ESPECIALLY if you are traveling with kids, this is the place you want to be! There was a giant basket of toys, games, stuffed animals, etc. not to mention the pack n play, high chair, and baby bath. For a mom traveling with littles, this was a dream. There were plenty of games for adults as well, the kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed to cook while we were there and Kim was extremely responsive and easy to get ahold of for our few questions.

The house was perfect for a girls trip with more than enough space for everyone, a coffee station, and the river, of course. We all enjoyed the quiet. Thank you for thinking of every detail!

We had a wonderful weekend at Sunset Oasis! The place was just as described. It was stocked with everything we could have needed. It’s also on a great part of the lake. We would definitely stay here again!

This home is beautifully decorated . It is peacefully located in woods surrounded by nature.. The location is off the beaten path and 25 minutes from city and city amenities. Our family used this vacation to relax and recharge away home hustle and bustle.

My family and I enjoyed the 2024 Labor Day weekend at Kimberly's Lake Sinclair home. It was perfect! The lake and home pictures were current and accurate. The home's features, amenities, space, and layout couldn't have been better for us. My family and I are working professionals, so enjoying our stay was essential to refueling our energy. The home and lake provided us an opportunity to sip coffee while morning fishing, grill and chill over afternoon conversation, and kickback over cold beers while enjoying a picture perfect sunset. Kimberly was always responsive to my text message inquiries during planning and throughout our stay. Since it was College Football kickoff weekend, I texted Kimberly for a local sports bar recommendation to watch the games before checking in. She suggested Pickle Barrel Cafe & Sports Pub in Milledgeville. Great pub experience and excellent service. It was exactly what we needed to start the weekend. Thanks Kimberly - our experience was great!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Whitetail. Kim was very responsive to all our messages. The house was full of very thoughtful extras to make the stay very comfortable. It was peaceful with beautiful scenery. The furnishings were clean, comfortable and easily made you feel like you were at home. I would highly recommend this Air BNB location for anyone’s stay. Thank you for a wonderful weekend getaway place!

This home is right on the water and is very well stocked with great amenities. The coffee bar was great and we really enjoyed the screened in porch listening to the river flowing while drinking our coffee. The 3 bedrooms with 3 king beds was awesome! Definitely will be coming back, we had loads of fun!!

Michelle

What an amazing stay!! They have everything, the family had a wonderful time. Home was perfect.

Cori

Whitetail Hideaway

This house is amazing! I could not have asked for a better stay than this. Kimberly has thought of everything, even down to a foam roller for my sore back! This house is one of those special places where you can spend your whole vacation right there and not have to leave the community for anything. The deer eating out of our hands was a special daily ritual that my family and I looked forward to every day. The house was spotless, and we would not hesitate to book a stay here in the future! The property was very peaceful, quiet, and relaxing. My family and I were very impressed, thank you.

Bill 

Whitetail Hideaway

Our stay was fantastic! Kim was incredibly professional, quick to respond, and always a step ahead. We had a small issue with seasonal Mayflies on the dock, and before we could really even ask, Kim had already arranged for their lawn guy (who was as kind as could be) to take care of it. The house is stocked with everything you could possibly need, which was a huge relief as parents traveling with twin infants. We can't recommend this place enough—it’s the perfect getaway!

Jade

Sunset Oasis Sinclair

We travel quite a bit and often use AIRBNB for our family. This was the absolute best place we’ve stayed. It was roomy, clean, peaceful and quiet yet close to whatever we needed. Having all king beds is almost unheard of! The river running behind the house was special! Then there were the special touches. The fire pit, complete with fire wood. The coffee station which was a big hit with my family! There was a basket of individual snacks on the counter as well as all the ingredients to make s’mores at the fire pit. For those of you traveling with small children you’re all set. The unit had a high chair, a pack and play, and child gates to keep the little ones safe. There were also plenty of toys for little ones too! And a big game room for the big kids!! We had a nice relaxing weekend while visiting my family in Elijay!

Amelia

Cartecay River Retreat

We loved this house. We were in the area for baseball tournament at Lake Point. The layout was perfect, the kitchen / living area great place for us all to gather for breakfast dinner. We grilled outside one night. Setting close to the lake is beautiful. Very quiet and s tucked away. Only thing was it was mid summer and we didn’t get chance to explore outside or go out in the lake cos too hot we will definitely be back if there are more baseball tournaments in the area.

Douglas

Kimberly was a great host. The home was beautiful. Just as pictured. Being right on the river made it a perfect stay. I would highly recommend Kimberly and the Cartecay River House to everyone.

Just feeling like Paradise, that’s true. Playing with all that gaming stuff, bathing and the wonderful views. Everything we needed was there, we felt like home. PERFECT

Stephan

Sunset Oasis Sinclair

We enjoyed our stay so much! We spent most of our time while at the house on the screened porch listening to the river. We very much enjoyed the game room and the huge selection of puzzles and games. Kimberly thought of everything from an adorable coffee bar to bug spray and sunscreen if your forget yours. The home is decorated perfectly and is so homey! We hope to return here and to another one of Kimberly’s properties. My 3 preteen/teenage children were even extremely impressed by everything. Thanks for a great stay!

"Had a wonderful week on the river. The house is well decorated, well equipped, and with lots of extra touches. The games and game room were a perfect way to spend down time. Loved spending each morning on the porch listening to the river and having coffee. Can't wait to return!"

Seth

Whitetail Hideaway

"Our stay at Kimberly’s place was nothing short of AMAZING!!! This beautiful home has so much to offer. I sure do miss waking up to the sounds of the Cartecay River as I’m sipping my coffee. I will say that the pictures do not do this place enough justice. It’s much more beautiful in person. I have recommended Kimberly’s place to many friends and family and we’re hoping to be able to go back in the fall. Out of the MANY trips we have made across the US, this particular one is at the top of our list and it’s because of Kimberly’s place."

Holly

Cartecay River Retreat

"We had a nice time at the house on the river! It was beautiful and listening to the running river from the porches was wonderful! The kids really enjoyed the game room and hot tub. We all enjoyed the coffee bar! The river was running pretty fast, so our kiddos had to be careful in the river right at the house, but I’m sure it’s not always that swift/full. There are neighboring houses pretty close by, but we didn’t see anyone out and about while we were there. Ellijay has a fun downtown area that we enjoyed, also. Overall a very nice experience! We would enjoy staying here again if we return to the area!"

Rebecca

"This airbnb was exactly as described plus some! It had everything you needed from kids stuff, toys, games, cooking supplies, etc. We felt right at home! We loved the property, dock and easy access to the lake."

Taylor

"Kim’s house was in AMAZING condition upon arrival. It smelled awesome, it was clean, and beautiful! The best airbnb we’ve ever stayed in honestly. The deer fed right out of my hand! The beds were very comfortable. They had truly thought of everything to make you feel at home. We will be back!"

Chelsea

Whitetail Hideaway

"This is a beautiful home and I only wish we could have stayed longer to enjoy it. Deer in the back yard and was able to hand feed some of them. Gorgeous stone deck area and we grilled out. Beds were very comfy and the kitchen great room and screen porch so beautiful. Game room great if you have kids. I can’t say enough about it. Kim so helpful with any questions. We can’t wait to visit again."

Janet

Whitetail Hideaway

"We spent 3 nights as a family in this wonderful house! Very comfortable, cozy and very clean too. There are many toys and games for children to have fun. The river in front of the house is wonderful and the sound when waking up in the morning brings us a feeling of peace. the place is surrounded by nature! The beds are very comfortable and the bathrooms are the ideal size. We highly recommend it and hope to return soon."

Luciana

Cartecay River Retreat

"The location is amazing. Pictures don’t do it justice. Home sits right on a beautiful river. Spent most of our time on the screen porch watching the river. My husband even caught a little trout right from the bank.

Inside, the home is beautiful - clean, comfortable with everything you could ask for. Loved the coffee hutch - again, absolutely everything there to enjoy coffee or tea made anyway you want. Loved the decor throughout.

The game room was AMAZING - I’ve never seen anything like it. We’d like to return with our grandkids - they would have loved it.

While the home is extremely comfortable and welcoming (even smells good), we spent ALL of our time on the screened porch. Furniture is comfortable and being able to sit in a comfortable space watching and listening to the river is unbeatable!

We hope to return!"

Thomas

"We are a family of 7 with kids between the ages of 1 and 17. Every member of our family enjoyed staying here! Very comfortable and we had everything we could have needed and then some! Feeding the deer was definitely top of the list of favorites but we also enjoyed the game room, hot tub, and fire pit. We were in town for a basketball tournament at Lakepoint but couldn’t wait to finish with games to get back to the house to relax. My personal favorite was the screened in porch. Beds were very comfortable and everyone slept well. The decor is beautiful and makes you feel like you’re right at home. The kitchen is very well stocked with everything you would need for cooking. Everything in this place is nice and well taken care of. Zero complaints! I hope that we will have an opportunity to visit again. This has been our favorite place we have ever rented and the host was amazing!"

Lindsey

"This is a lovely home with a nice river view. It’s a great place to just chill out and relax. Everything was just as described and much more. The grandkids loved making s’mores at the fire pit and we all had a great time. I wish we could have stayed longer. I would highly recommend if you’re looking for a place to get away and relax. Thank you Kim."

Lisa

Cartecay River Retreat

"This is my second time renting from Kimberly. Airbnb should have a new category for her properties! The houses, perfectly described; communication, prompt and helpful; the setting, undersold in my eyes! Peace is yet found until you’ve slumbered within these walls! From the river to the birds, the sounds of nature are easily found by opening a window or quick crack of the door. This property is a gem for sure!"

Daniel

Owners also had snacks (which came in handy since we arrived late) and had a fully stocked coffee bar + everything to make s’mores on the patio! We enjoyed our stay and the kids loved the game room. We definitely want to visit again!"

"What a peaceful and beautiful place to stay, even more than the pictures. It is so well maintained - clean and tidy and just so thought out. It has everything we would need. The website and instructions have been perfect so there was really no guessing whether they had something or not. In fact, this home was so stocked up especially in the kitchen. The coffee bar was amazing. We had so much fun in the game room. Plenty of fun for a family. The hostess was so responsive and helpful. This place is so serene. What a beautiful, peaceful and private place to stay. It was perfect for us to just get away, relax, reset and have precious family time. Would stay again and gladly recommend. ♥️"

Rosy

"This property had all of the amenities needed to feel right at home. A kitchen with all of the appliances and accessories you need, a screened-in porch with comfortable furniture and a fire table, a welcoming patio with a grill and fire pit, a game/arcade room, hot tub...the list goes on. We could see the thoughtfulness that went into every detail in and around the house to give guests a comfortable stay.

Kim was a wonderful, responsive host and I'd highly recommend this property to anyone. Great value!"

David

"I cannot recommend Whitetail Hideaway and Vacay Rentals For You enough! Me and my significant other escaped for a few days to relax and unwind and let me tell you that Whitetail Hideaway was perfect for that! It was the most gorgeous house! The kitchen is huge and has room for everything! The master bed and bath was breathtaking!! The house is decorated so nicely it truly feels like home! Our favorite part was the hot tub on the back porch! You can even feed the deer from the back yard!! They have the most precious owners and had a small welcome gift for us as well as some snacks! We caught a round of golf at the Lake Arrowhead Golf Course as well!! I will forever recommend Vacay Rentals For You!"

Trisha

"We went to this cabin at the end of October with our kids and grandkids. Everything was so nice! It is right on the river. We had everything we needed to cook and it even had a coffee bar! It had everything you need for a comfortable stay. We went to the pumpkin patch, the Falls, shopping and out to dinner. We had a great family weekend! We will definitely be back!"

Lorene

Cartecay River Retreat

"This place was by far the nicest short-term rental facility we have ever stayed in. The home was absolutely spotless, had every single amenity you could imagine, and Kimberly was an outstanding host. We will stay here again. I can't think of one single thing that should've been better."

Rebecca

Whitetail Hideaway

"Kim was very responsive to my inquiries. The cleaning staff did a great job providing us with a spotless location to feel at home. And it was even a pleasantry to run into the lawncare provider (very nice guy)! We are already attempting to nail down dates for a future trip to this home. The unit provides plenty of light and gorgeous views of the lake. It allowed my group to have family communal & private space to catch up on some much-needed rest. Board games for days so that you can unplug from the electronic world and spend real family time together. We are already attempting to coordinate dates for our next trip to this location!!!"
