10/10 Excellent: Jason's Review of Sunset Ridge
Jason booked Sunset Ridge for three families attending a wedding in Toccoa and had this to say:

"First, communication with the host was top-notch from booking through our entire stay. We needed a place for 10-12 adults with wheelchair accessibility, and this house was perfect. It’s beautiful and spacious, accommodating us all without feeling cramped. It's essential to do your due diligence regarding accessibility needs, as each requirement can vary. I'm accustomed to thinking outside the box and finding alternative solutions, and this house made it easy. The nearby golf course is an added bonus! All in all, it was a great home to stay in, and I give it 5 stars!!"
