About this property

Private Family Retreat

This cabin is loaded. Some rentals are sparsely decorated with left over furniture. Not this one! Furnishings throughout are custom made by local craftsmen for an authentic experience. The kitchen has top of the line appliances & fully stocked with every thing you would need. It has THREE decks to sit on and a hot tub which is gorgeous and fun.

Although you are technically in a neighborhood, You are pretty much remote with many acres of wooded land between you and any other property.

BEST PART: The cabin has an unbelievably fun bunk room for kids! Each bunk has it's own light, shelf, and plug in.

The basement has a large screen tv with roku available so you may access both Netflix and Prime Video to watch an array of movies and programs. It also has a foosball table.
The TV on the main level has an its own Roku available. In the loft is a closet full of board games for your use.

This cabin is perky, with lots of natural light streaming through. It gives one JOY just to be there!!!!

WHOOPS ...ANOTHER BEST PART: The cabin is located in a VERY special area called Walnut Mountain (in Ellijay). This community gives you access to an olympic size POOL, several lakes to enjoy or fish, a playground, tennis courts, AND one of the best TROUT streams to enjoy. This stream is not on our property, but just a short drive down the mountain. So, so, so, much fun. Kids will feel so accomplished! No pets allowed.

Bachelorette Weekend in the Mountains!
The cabin was the perfect size for our Bachelorette party! Everyone enjoyed it, and we especially enjoyed all of the streaming options so that we could enjoy movie night in the living room. We couldn't get over the amount of space available; all of the girls fit comfortably, and we had more than enough beds. We loved every moment of the trip; I will definitely be leaving a review and hopefully staying again in the future!

Awesome cabin!
I recently stayed at a cabin in Ellijay, GA and had a wonderful experience. The cabin was cozy and well-maintained, with beautiful views of the surrounding mountains. The location was perfect for exploring nearby vineyards and downtown. The owners were also very accommodating and made sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Overall, I highly recommend this cabin for a relaxing getaway in Ellijay, GA.

Early Christmas
This was perfect for an early Christmas get together with family. Everyone had room to breathe and the layout was perfect. The basement was great for the smaller kids to play and spread out toys, the older kids could hang and talk in the loft and the adults could catch up and talk on the main level. Dining room and kitchen is spacious enough for everyone to enjoy meals together and play games. If I have to give criticism, you may want to consider updating/upgrading the towels and washcloths and maybe a deep cleaning.

Mother Daughter Trip
The house was ok. The kitchen was adequate and the beds and sofas were comfortable. The lamp and outlet next to the sofa did not work so we used an extension cord I brought and shuffled around lamps. It would be nice to have light bulbs to replace blown bulbs in other lamps. There were not any beach towels as listed; only wraps but there were adequate bath towels so we used them. It would be nice to have a bath mat in the down stairs bathroom. This bath has a tile floor and a shower door that opens out leaving water on the floor which is very slippery when wet. We used a towel. The downstairs exterior door knob will lock but the handle pulls out very easily when opening. The location was excellent for our plans to visit Gibbs Garden. We enjoyed our afternoons in Ellijay and Blue Ridge. But we made sure we were home before dark so we didn't have to navigate the roads in the subdivision at night. No one ever answered when we called at the gate to check in but we got in following behind another resident. It would be nice if the check in process was improved somehow. The drive is steep and only paved up to the lower corner of the house. It would be nice if it was paved all the way up so that there isn't a break from pavement to a dirt/gravel surface with loose gravel. We decided to turn around at the parking area by the trash bin and back up the drive to the front door. With a few minor improvements, this house could be 5 stars and I would return.

School buddies get away
The property was nice. We enjoyed the stay very much. Wish we could use the fire pit outside but due to the time of the year the fire alert was on amber and we wwre asked not to use firewood. The house was clean and confortable. Enjoyed the beautiful Jacuzzi outsoee as well.
