Our fifth stay! And we’re already thinking about the next one. Clean and well stocked. The outside area—flat yard, fishing pond, fire pit, and creek—are wonderful. My kids love going on adventures up and down the creek. It’s been amazing to watch them as they get older and venture out further. We really love this cabin!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the cabin, we found it just as described and very clean and hardly even a bug to be found the whole time we were there. The cabin is quiet, cozy, & comfortable, and we were pleasantly surprised how easy it was to get to both Blue Ridge and downtown Ellijay from it due to how the roads are set up there. The cabin is very nicely equipped for a families and the yard is spectacular for kids who love outdoors.
This is a lovely cabin with everything that you need for a relaxing stay in the mountains! All the details have been thought of and the home is spacious and well appointed!
It was our second time staying here and it was just as good as our first stay. Great location. Wonderful property with a beautiful lake and creek. Host responds quickly and is very nice.
We had another great trip to Ellijay mostly in part to this great VRBO property- we love the creek, the fire pit, the fishing pond, all the space and privacy, the adorable cabin with all the comforts or home, the arcade & foosball table- it’s just so EASY to have a nice relaxing vacation here. Already booked for next year! Keep up the great work- we appreciate it!!
We had a wonderful time in the Ellijay area. The cabin is very spacious, clean, and it is in a perfect location. It is nice and secluded, but close enough to town and other places of interest to make it an easy drive. Can’t wait to stay again.
Absolutely beautiful property! We loved the creek and pond! The home is ver beautiful as well. We enjoyed it very much. It’s now in our top ten of places to return to. The host was amazing with all details and reply’s. Loved it.
Our family had a wonderful stay at this beautiful and peaceful cabin. We enjoyed fishing in the pond, playing in the creek, sitting out on the porch, and relaxing at the fire pit. We would definitely stay here again.
Loved ever minute of this weekend getaway. The host was responsive, the cabin was incredible, we hope to return for a future visit. This is our new favorite place.
my family absolutely loved this cabin & property! the large yard, the pond for fishing, the creek for playing in, the cabin and all the little things you thought to have stocked in there. It was our most favorite stay to date!
This was our 4th time staying at this property and we have never had a bad time. The house is lovely and the creek and yard are amazing for kids for playing and having fun. We love the location as its close to so many great attractions in the area and would recommend the place to anyone who asks!
We loved every minute of our stay here in walnut Mountain !! Babbling water sounds , peaceful views , cozy fire pit, comfortable living spaces, porches to sit and enjoy, and lots of amenities!! We loved it & Beth was amazing to deal with and so thoughtful. Definitely 💯 the best place to stay!
Couldn't have asked for a better place to stay - from the location to our own private babbling brook with fire pit. Kitchen was spot on, and we loved the entire layout of the house. Already talking about returning - Thank you so much!
As advertised and more. We rent in Ellijay often and this home was well decorated, clean and offered pretty much everything you need to enjoy your vacation.
It was great to get a break from the hectic holiday feeling and just relax in a little slice of heaven. The views were amazing and no need to leave. Our family will be back.
The property really is wonderful, plenty of space for our group of 8. The kids had plenty of room to run around outside, explore the creek and check out the hiking trail. The adults enjoyed the fire pit, fishing and the all the meals in the well stocked kitchen. The owners have really thought of all the little things.
Everything was just as promised and presented. Beds slept great. Close enough to things to so but far enough for easy down time. Would do this location again.
