This is my happy place

This is the sixth or seventh year we've stayed here - and it is fabulous. They've updated it this year and it was perfect before - now it's even better. We will be back

Big Falcon Family Christmas Adventure

We have tried so hard to find a place to stay that accommodates more than one dog, since we have three and we would hate to leave one out. Take a Paws was perfect! Despite us Floridians not being totally prepared for below freezing weather, we had a fantastic stay! There’s just something about waking up in the cold on Christmas morning. The home is located in a great spot with a spectacular view right in the Black Rock Mountain state Park. We did a small waterfall hike there. Our third day, we took a little drive to Helen to do the tourist stuff and then another trip to the Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta. Totally worth the hour and a half trip! 11/10 would recommend. On our last night, we went down to Moonrise Distiller and grabbed pizza from Fortify Pi, which both blew us away. We recommend the Samurai Pi, you won’t be disappointed! Overall, we had a beautiful family vacation with our fur babies. Thank you for the great communication and wonderful accommodations. I have a feeling we will be back!

Take a paws was awesome.

New renovations are great and work did not interfere with the experience. View was beautiful, homestead had ample room for vehicles, great property to explore, and neighborhood was great to drive around. In driving distance of great sites to see. Great communication with any questions or issues. Homes were cozy.

What a view!

AMAZING view! This place has a great view overlooking the mountains. We enjoyed exploring the area and hiking. We saw some bears and her cubs on our first day. The cabin is spacious and beautiful. You have to see it in person. The pictures don’t do the view and cabin justice.

Fabulous weekend

This is our fifth year I think being at this house and we love it. It has everything we need. The yard is fenced so the dogs can roam freely. The hosts are wonderful people who are easy to deal with. Already reserved the house for next year!

About the host

Hosted by Joe Santana

We were married 14 years ago just outside Smokey Mtn National Park and have been in love with the South East mountain ranges ever since. A friend of ours turned us onto a place on VRBO they had stayed at. We booked it and have been visiting the Rabun Gap/Clayton area every year for the last 13 years. We have had a wonderful experience with VRBO in the past, so decided to take a chance and purchase our own piece of the mountains. While we wish we could spend everyday there, we can not yet afford to do so. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

We have the fondest memories of Black Rock Mountain State Park and Lake. With Wolffork Valley being so close, we had been looking at homes there for quite some time. Once we arrived at "Take A Paws" and took in the view, we instantly knew that this was our paradise. The view, the rustic fireplace, everything just spoke to us. We hope you feel the same way.
