Gather around the natural wood burning fireplace inside with a warm blanket & hot chocolate, or relax outside with s'mores over the fire pit, followed with breathtaking stargazing in the night sky.
The peaceful location of this cabin provides the perfect environment for diving into a good book or even writing one of your own. Listen to the sounds of nature while enjoying a cool summer night on the front porch. Unleash your inner chef and surprise your loved one with an effortless breakfast in bed. Later, fire up the BBQ grill and sizzle up some steaks as the afternoon sun slowly sets through the trees.
NOTE: It is a two mile off road rustic experience to the cabin from the main road, with occasional steep bumpy inclines and dirt/gravel terrain.

Fully Equipped Kitchen Dining Area with Seating for 4 and beautiful wooded & seasonal mountain views 1st bedroom with Queen bed & 43" Smart TV 2nd bedroom with two twin beds & Smart TV--twins could be pushed together to make a king.

We suggest Guest(s) bring personal grooming items, grocery items, specialty items and any unique or important items vital to your vacation.
NOTE: It is a two mile off road rustic experience to the cabin from the main road, with occasional steep inclines and dirt/gravel terrain. Although 2-wheel drive vehicles can make it with some skilled driving, a 4-wheel drive or AWD is highly recommended. If you are unfamiliar with mountain roads this may not be the cabin for you. But it is definitely worth the humps & bumps when you get here! Plan ahead and stop at one of the food/supply stores on your way in, as it is about 20-25 minutes from the cabin once there. Walmart & grocery/fast food stores are plentiful in either Ellijay to the south or Blue Ridge to the north.
***Our Pet fee is $60 per pet (maximum 2 with prior approval) for your entire stay. Due to allergies, No cats please! Weight limit of 25lbs per dog (over 25lbs with prior approval). Once we accept your reservation, We will make the adjustment for the pet fee of $60
NO pets allowed on furniture! Please note that there will be additional fees for excessive dog hair on furniture, beds, couches and/or damage to leather furniture. Please use the provided medium dog crate/kennel if you are leaving them at the cabin alone at any time to avoid “separation accidents”! If we have approved a larger dog, we ask that you bring your own larger crate/kennel for your pet. You will find that Ellijay & Blue Ridge are very pet friendly if you plan to take them into town or on a local hike!
We have a designated pet waste station next to the trash bin. Please be sure to pick up after your pet and place all bags in the pet waste trash bin.
Please do not discard any loose items in the trash bin, instead make sure all trash is bagged. THANK YOU!

Excellent experience & beautiful cabin. Very private location, well furnished, hot tub, grill, fire pit, etc. Perfect place to unwind and reconnect! Host was also very responsive! Highly recommended!
Wonderful places place to stay a great view but need a four wheel drive to get Up to the Top. Where the cabin is its it's quiet and peaceful place would definitely go back.
Amazing cabin, extremely clean inside and out. Hot tub was great, kitchen was spotless. The property is very peaceful and exactly what I needed. I will definitely book this cabin again. Host was very responsive and very helpful! overall great experience!
Excellent cabin. Very comfortable and quiet. We really enjoyed our stay! Our host was an excellent communicator and very welcoming. I have saved this cabin info for a future stay.
This cabin is nestled at the top of the mountain with generous appointments at every corner. The Hosts were responsive and accommodating. We didn't need a thing other than our choice of food, beverage and ourselves. It was clean and very comfortable. The very definition of home away from home. Your can tell, the minute you pull in, that the Hosts put their heart and soul into this place. 10/10. The perfect getaway!
It was perfect! The only hard part was the ride up the mountain and the address didn’t exactly take us to the cabin but it was just a little ways down! We had a great time and the host was amazing!!!
The hosts were welcoming, and the amenities were great. We loved staying at the cozy cabin with beautiful views for our quick getaway to see some snow.
SUPER clean cabin and decorated so nicely! The fire pit and hot tub were excellent touches and we really enjoyed our stay and hope to come back each year.
Wonderful!! If you want to just get into the trees and have quiet moments this is you. Do believe that the ride to the cabin is rough its bumpy in some spots its steep in some. Other then that its beautiful cabin has what you need and some. You get enough of the basics to start you off. We ate in the cabin the whole 4 days. The kitchen had it all and in very nice shape...the fire pot was great again to sit and relax . We did go down the hill...and into town also to blue ridge. Love the areaAWESOME correspondence from Amanda got back to you if any questions and only had a few on day of check-in other wise no need to contact hosts as it was a great time.Cabin is decorated lovely no over the top cabin woods animal theme tastefully done.Check in the door lock no problemOoo ya the hot tub another soothing aspect Thanks for allowing us to enjoy your spot it was fantastic Kathleen
We LOVED our stay this weekend! The mountain view (end of winter) was such a nice surprise. The house was very clean, comfortable and all everything we needed. Our favorite part of the day was sundown in the porch rocking chairs and night rain storms on the porch. We enjoyed coffee on the porch each morning, listening to only the sounds of the birds. The drive up is about 15 minutes in a gravel dirt road but if you're familiar with navigating mountain roads like us, you'll do just fine. Perfect getaway and highly recommend!
While this cabin itself is clean and well stocked, we ran into an issue with water and the host made no effort to remedy the situation. The water in the cabin has no pressure, rendering the facilities useless. The shower head does not get enough pressure to spray water, and it may be due to something like a filter for the well or the well pump itself may be going out. In any case - the host told me there was no problem with it and has refused to make it right. We paid for, and expected to have the ability to shower and freshen up after a long day of hiking, and were left without basic necessities. It doesn't go without saying that the hot tub water was also not fresh. We received a message saying that it's "refilled between bookings" and to give it time to heat to 102. That is also absolutely untrue, considering the fact that it took 3 entire minutes to fill my dog's water bowl using the outside hose.Disgusting behavior and communication. Take your business elsewhere.

Thank you for your feedback. We are pleased that you found the cabin clean and well stocked, but we are disappointed by several inaccuracies in your review.
When you contacted us regarding the water pressure, we responded immediately and took your concern seriously. We spoke directly with our cleaning team, who had cleaned and inspected the cabin prior to your arrival, as well as the departing guests from the same day. Neither reported any issues with water pressure or water quality.
Despite having no prior reports of a problem, we still arranged for a plumber to come to the property to inspect the well system and perform any necessary maintenance. Unfortunately, after we communicated this plan, we did not receive any further responses from you regarding the issue as we were hoping to troubleshoot and solve the issue quickly.
As a mountain cabin served by a private well system, water pressure can occasionally fluctuate, particularly during periods of heavy usage. However, we never refused assistance, nor did we dismiss your concerns. On the contrary, we responded promptly and actively sought a solution.
Regarding the hot tub, it is drained, cleaned, refilled, and treated between guest stays in accordance with our maintenance procedures. The time required for the water to reach the target temperature is unrelated to the amount of water used during the refill process, and the hot tub was prepared according to our standard turnover process.
We have worked hard to maintain consistently excellent reviews from hundreds of guests who have enjoyed their stay at our cabin. While we regret that your experience did not meet your expectations, we believe this review does not accurately reflect our communication, responsiveness, or commitment to guest satisfaction. We wish you the very best in your future travels and would gladly welcome you back should you choose to stay with us again.

Hi Brandon,
Thank you for your feedback, we’re so glad to hear you found the place secluded and relaxing. We also completely understand how disappointing it must have been not to be able to use the hot tub on your first day. We truly apologize for that inconvenience.
Per county regulations, all spas and hot tubs at short-term rental properties are required to be fully drained, cleaned, and refilled between each guest stay. This is a health and safety mandate aimed at ensuring cleanliness and sanitation for every visitor. Unfortunately, this process means the water may still be warming up and reaching optimal temperature by the time guests arrive.
We do our best to manage the timing and ensure the hot tub is ready as soon as possible, but we appreciate your understanding and patience with this local requirement.
Thank you again for staying with us, and we hope to welcome you back for a fully warm and relaxing soak from day one next time!
Warm regards,
Todd & Amanda

Beautiful cabin, stunning views, and very peacefuland quiet. Great hosts to book with as well. The hot tub and porch swing area is very private and cozy. Would definitely stay again. Steep/bumpy drive but if you have a AWD/4Wheel you’ll be fine.
Truly loved the cabin and location. It was very quiet and tranquil and beutiful inside and out. A storm came first but we still enjoyed the solitude and tranquility of the cabin..We will be back as soon as possible
Great secluded stay and very clean. Will definitely stay again
