The property was excellent. We had a very relaxing time. We were delayed checking in as the cleaner was still there but she was thorough. Relaxing in the hot tub as deer went by was wonderful. A great home and location.

A perfect location and quaint cabin with beautiful wood floors and so much natural light with a nice view of the woods. Heated bathroom floors, a comfortable bed, and an easy-to-use fireplace were all nice perks. Easy communication with owner when we had an issue. We really enjoyed our stay!

We had a great stay at Linda’s place. Check in was simple. We asked about early check in but it wasn’t available however Brandon offered a great option for lunch to kill some time in Ellijay. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful - we enjoyed seeing all of the deer! The cabin was clean and stocked with all the necessities. Our kids loved the pool and playing in the creek at the picnic area near the walnut mountain entrance.

Great, simple anniversary getaway

We wanted a simple 2-night getaway for our anniversary. The cabin was clean, comfortable, convenient, and well-stocked. We went to Amicalola Falls, had dinner at Butcher & Bottle in Ellijay, tasted cider, and enjoyed a few hikes. Easy to get to from Chattanooga. Brandon was responsive to my pre-booking inquiry.

Great stay! Thanks 😊

Our family really enjoyed our stay. We liked relaxing on the back porch and saw a few deer. Tubing nearby was fun! Overall, we’d definitely recommend! A few suggestions would be a few more towels for the shower (we went and bought our own), silicone cooking tongs, a mixing bowl, new nonstick pans without scratches, and a floor lamp near the dining table/living room.

Wonderful Place

Loved the house! The place was clean and had everything we needed to enjoy a long overdue vacation getaway. The hot tub was enjoyable in the evening and the peace and quiet was a welcome change. The fishing and hiking was fantastic as well as seeing plenty of deer and even a black bear. The road access was easily accessible and paved - but we were in a nice dry spell with no inclement weather. The wineries and orchards were great to visit as well. It’s a wonderful place with all the amenities of home. Absolutely will visit again!

Perfect family mountain retreat

Wow, we had a fabulous time at "Linda's Cabin!" The home is so charming and had everything we were looking for in a holiday retreat. We loved our mornings on the back porch enjoying breakfast and coffee in the rocking chairs. The downstairs game room was ideal and provided space for our family of four. We cooked most meals at the cabin and the kitchen was well-equipped for all our needs. The home is extremely well kept and Brandon was wonderful to work with and very customer-service oriented. Walnut Mountain is a gem of a location and all roads are paved to the cabin which provides visitors peace of mind. The community has many trails, lakes and areas to explore - minutes to Ellijay and quick trip to Blue Ridge. We loved our stay and hope to come back soon!

Walnut Mountain Oasis

My friend and I were looking for a quiet place to stay that was close enough to shopping/food/hiking/etc. Boy did we find the perfect place here at Linda’s Cabin! Nestled in an adorable neighborhood of beautiful cabins sitting atop Walnut Mountain, we found everything we needed and then some! There’s an awesome kitchen, great wifi and tech (even Alexa), comfy beds, 2 very clean bathrooms, and a beautiful deck where we could watch the local deer family every morning. Brandon was extremely gracious and a pleasure to work with. He was very prompt with any questions we had and took great care of us. Please check it out for yourself. I definitely will be back!

Disliked: Check-in
My husband and I arrived at 3:45pm hoping to get in before 4:00 or at least on time. We were held up 20 minutes by the cleaning lady, which made us late for our dinner reservation. The host acted like it was no big deal. No apologies. That same night someone started banging on our door. This person was rude, demanding how we reserved the cabin because she had rented it too. From Brandon. On VRBO. Again, we contacted him and he acted like it was no big deal. Negatives: the host, little water pressure in the kitchen, no throw blankets, acorns hit the roof so bring a sound machine. Positives: the cabin is cute and clean with plenty of space, bed was comfortable, back porch is amazing, hot tub is clean but takes 2-3 hours to heat. Overall, we’d probably stay again with no expectation of getting in the cabin on time.
