Great host. House is beautifully decorated and in a great area. Right on the water and you can hear the River when sitting on the deck. Basement area of house is gorgeous and if you need the extra space, it is a great addition to the house.

Beautiful Location

We had a great stay. The home was clean. Sound of the creek was perfect. The other homes on the creek path are not visible so you felt like it was your own little slice. Would recommend this home for your Ellijay vacation.

We truly enjoyed staying here for two nights. We wish we could have stayed longer! Beautiful house, comfortable place to stay, great place for the kids, and nice for a family getaway! Loved the fire pit by the water. My granddaughter (5) loves the dress up clothes and accessories. The host was very kind and informative. Directions for our stay were clear.

The home was very warm and inviting. She had lots of things for my grandchildren to enjoy. The best feature was the beautiful river and being so close to it! As chill of a cabin as you could desire.

Beautiful cabin with tons of privacy

My wife and I stayed the weekend with 2 other couples and we had a wonderful time. The cabin seems brand new and had all the comforts of home. Other than a spotty Wi-Fi connection (streaming football game) our stay was perfect.

Perfect location!!

From the moment we arrived, we were in awe at the beauty of this cabin and the surroundings. We had an easy check in process and the cabin had everything we needed. Our favorite night at the property was when we built a fire and dined by the water. I can't say enough about how wonderful this property is. We hope to be back next year!

Beautiful river front view

We loved the drive up to the cabin with all the hills and hairpin turns as we don’t experience that in Florida. The river was beautiful as was the cabin. Relaxing in the hot tub was one of our favorite pastimes and all amenities were close. Betsey was super easy to communicate with and we’ll definitely be back.

The cabin was wonderful! Fully stocked with a ll the necessary amenities. My kids loved playing by the river and swinging on the hammocks. There were tons of board games and DVD's provided. The private balcony off the master bedroom was so cozy. We will definitely be back!

Great Mountain Vacation

We enjoyed our house for the week. It was hard to find at first, but once we figured out to get to and from the house it was fine. We enjoyed the river and amenities of the resort. Our children loved fishing, swimming, and tubing in the river next to the house. It was beautiful and the owner was super helpful when we needed anything. We would love to rent from one of her properties again.
