About this property

Discover Romantic, Private, Peaceful Log Cabin on Rushing Stream with hot tub

This 3 bedroom, 3 bath cabin has it all. The cabin now has 2 king size beds and 1 queen. It is located on a secluded wooded lot with excellent views and sounds of a fast moving stream just out your back door. Inside it is beautifully appointed with all the modern amenities of home. Whether in the loft, out on the large screened in porch or down at the fire pit by the stream, you will find great locations to curl up with your favorite book or just hang out with family and friends. In the lower level there is chess, checkers, fooze ball and many board games available. This area is also equipped with a 5.1 home theatre sound system for a great movie on DVD. Always enjoyable to all is the 6 person Jacuzzi hot tub that overlooks the stream. The cabin is decorated with a very cozy, yet rustic decor. There are quilts, furry blankets a lot of black bear paraphernalia. Really cute and fun! Firewood provided seasonally for fire pit, and fireplace. The playground is private and incredible: swings, slide, playhouse, etc. Still tucked away in a wooded environment. No pets allowed. Kids under 12 are free.

This cabin is right next door to our other two cabins (VRBO#1205551 and #3264751). This is a great way to get together for a family reunion or gathering of friends by renting both or all 3 cabins. Our 4th cabin is about 10 mins away. It’s VRBO #956322. Check it out too.

Photos are inaccurate

The main reason we rented this cabin was for the playground Towers for the kids. The photos in the listing showed two playground towers, there is only one. The tower circled in pic is not there. The photos do not show you the 10 ft Bank of rock to the river. There is a lot of cobwebs around the headboards and throughout the house. The washing machine has mildewed and smelled horrible. We made the best of our vacation and did enjoy it but really would like to see the photos updated to be more accurate

Our Second Home

We stay in the same cabin every year for the past decade. Although it can use some upgrades, it feels like our own home away from home and we know the cabin and area like the back of our hand. We “may” never stay anywhere else.

Still the best

We’ve rented this cabin several times in the past and always enjoy the stay. We skipped a year this time and really liked the upgrades the owners applied…means they care about their rental and aren’t letting it fall into disrepair. Our grandkids were finally of an age to enjoy playing in the creek while the younger grandkids enjoyed the playground. The adults enjoyed being able to supervise both locations while still enjoying the comforts of the cabin.

Birthday Getaway

We came to Peaceful Waters to celebrate my husband’s 45th birthday. It was a very beautiful well laid-out cabin and the surrounding area was gorgeous. It was very cold while we were there but we still managed to enjoy the outdoor fire pit, walking along the stream, and relaxing in the hot tub. The cabin had all we needed to cook some yummy meals. We drove into Blue Ridge one day for dinner at Southern Charm and it was lovely. We also took a beautiful short hike off of Blackberry Hill Road to Clear Creek. We loved hanging out in the cabin playing board games, watching movies, and watching football!

Great cabin near Ellijay with room for family! We had a great wedding weekend!

This property was clean and roomy for our family while we celebrated my daughters wedding near by. Nice extra touches such as built in gates on the stairs that you could close or keep open. This worked well for my young grandchildren. Nice collection of movies and games (we were too busy to watch movies but maybe next time)! Nice parking, great porch to relax on with a cup of coffee nice area to sit by the river as well. Highly recommended!

Awesome Family Trip

We had a great time and the property was perfect for us. We had 4 generations and there was something for everyone to enjoy. I’d have to say having the creek was everyone’s favorite. The great grandparents loved sitting on the porch listening to the rushing creek and the grandkids loved playing in the creek. The property itself is beautiful, and nicely wooded. We loved the trees providing shade on hot summer days. We all enjoyed family dinners together, the grill was perfect and the kitchen had everything we needed. Every day we saw deer a few houses down the road. We would definitely stay here again!

Peaceful Stay Amongst Peaceful Waters

We quickly learned that when you drive around the area, use your phone GPS and not your car GPS. The property owner sent very clear directions on how to access the property and we were able to find it as we arrived at sunset. The hilly gravel roads to the cabin were navigable, even in the rain, although I was apprehensive initially. The property upon arrival was pristine with the appropriate cabin-bear motif. The bedrooms are on separate levels, all with balconies. Listening to the running creek from the top bedroom was a highlight for all of us! We used the middle balcony the most and enjoyed a family breakfast each morning at the cozy table. The unscreened bottom porch has the hot tub which was used twice and enjoyed immensely. Most of our time was spent playing in the stream with all of our children which was a lot of fun. We made s’mores on the campfire one of the evenings, and my littlest took a bath in the upstairs tub. The upstairs tub jets didn’t work, which I notified the property manager about upon departure.The cabin was full of amenities that made the stay feel cozy- from puzzles and games for the kids to all the pots, pans, dishes, and simple spices we could possibly need. I was very surprised at the beautiful walk in closet in the top bedroom! Our children didn’t want to sleep on separate floors so they used the futons on the top floor and there were futon covers well labeled in the closet. There was not a thing we needed that we couldn’t find! 100% recommend!

We rented out the three cabins owned by these owners for our wedding and it was the most wonderful stay. The cabin is beautiful and spacious. Tons of room to cook and spread out for our group (6 adults and 2 children). Sitting out on the screened in porches listening to the creek babble was the best! We loved our stay and recommend to all!!

The cabin was perfect in every way for our needs. The children absolutely loved the swing set! The view out back was gorgeous and the main porch was wonderful with the table, chairs and nice big swing. There was lots of privacy and we enjoyed the fire pit and walking on the rocks by the stream. We would definitely recommend this cabin as a wonderful place to go for a quiet relaxing weekend. Thanks for all the nice touches to help ensure a wonderful getaway!

Very pretty, peaceful location by Clear Creek

Beautiful location by a quiet stream. Nicely shaded, screened in back porch was my go to morning coffee and reading location. We ate our meals in town at some very nice restaurants. Interesting antique locations in and around town. Enjoyed two or three very rustic cabin furniture stores. This cabin had the perfect log cabin decor we enjoy. We would love to return to see the colors in the fall. Several folks told us it would be FAR MORE CONGESTED in October during the Apple Festival.

Where to start... if you're looking for a real log cabin this is the one. The kitchen appliances are top of the line. Clean, modern bathrooms. Huge porches, hot tub, creek ( not the best for fishing.. to warm for trout). 10/10

Second time visit

This cabin is perfect. The kitchen is well stocked and comfortable to cook in. We used the grill on the front porch every night, and it was also easy to use. The cabin is spotless and so peaceful.We spent most of the time on the screened-in porch. The porch overlooks a stream filled with trout. You can hear the water falling over the small rapids from the porch and the bedrooms. We also really enjoyed the hot tub. It was very clean and hot.We can’t wait for a third trip.

Wonderful Stay!

We loved this cabin! It was exactly as it looks in the pictures. Super clean and all of the things you need for a perfect stay. Upgraded kitchen appliances and everything you need in the kitchen. So many blankets for being cozy and the basement is awesome for watching movies or hanging out. Screened porches were perfect for reading and listening to the river. What a wonderful location and so much care to make this place welcoming and comfortable. Easy to get to and close to stores and restaurants but tucked away so you feel like you’re a world away. We will definitely come back!

About the host

Hosted by Christy Wolfe

Host profile image
We live in Cumming, GA and have two young young children ages 12 and 10. My husband is a custom home builder and has made sure this cabin is a cut above the rest! I am also a very meticulous house owner and have made sure the house is easy to use, organized, and well equipped.

What makes this property unique

I know of no other cabin that has multiple playgrounds....and a GREAT one at that! Kids love it! And the best part is kids under 12 are free. This property is located right next to another cabin we own. It's VRBO #1205551. It is a great opportunity to rent both cabins for a large family/friends gathering.
