About this property

"The Knotty Pine" - Your perfect cabin getaway!

Welcome to the beautiful Knotty Pine in Ellijay, Georgia! When we walked into this cabin for the first time, we knew it had to be ours. Now it can be yours, and you can fall in love with the cabin just like we did! The Knotty Pine offers everything you could want for your north Georgia getaway. First and foremost, it's a true cabin, inside and out. Sometimes you see homes listed as "cabins" or "cottages," but they're really just homes in the woods. When we say cabin, we mean cabin! Don't believe us, just look at the pictures!

As soon as you step in the front door, your stress will melt away. A large living space with vaulted ceilings is just the beginning. Add in a beautiful gas fireplace and you've already got your perfect weekend retreat. A nice size kitchen with all the amenities, plus a nice family eating area (also perfect for puzzles and games!).

There is a large bedroom with a king size bed on the main floor. It includes a big walk-in closet as well as a full bath just across the hallway. The second bedroom is upstairs, with a queen size bed and an en suite bathroom.

Did we mention the beautiful loft space? No? OK, we have a BEAUTIFUL loft space that is great spot for reading or even getting a little work done at the desk. You could even bring an air mattress and sleep a couple more in that space. We have a futon up there to get you started!

Let's head outside. The Knotty Pine has a massive porch that wraps 3/4 of the way around the house. Our property is nestled in a deer sanctuary, so you will likely see plenty of bucks, does and little fawns during your stay.

Bottom line, if you're looking for a getaway, short or long, The Knotty Pine is the perfect place for you. We absolutely cannot wait for you to enjoy this property. And if you come once, we're almost positive you'll come back! See you soon!

Great Peaceful Getaway!

Our family enjoyed exploring northern Georgia and staying as this sweet little cabin. The deer visited us throughout our stay, despite the "neighborhood" like population of humans. We enjoyed the pool areas within the community and all the orchards and wineries nearby as well.

As beautiful as the pictures present

This was a wonderful cabin and the cabin itself is just as beautiful as the pictures posted about it. Quaint quiet area where you get to wake up to deer in the yard and watch them at night as well. Loved this place and the owners made it easy for check in and the communication was great. I will definitely come back to this cabin!

Comfortable Cabin

The cabin was lovely. Clean, well stocked kitchen, nice grills, comfortable bed, both bedrooms had their own bath. The only thing I will mention not portrayed in the listing is that this home is in a neighborhood, close neighbors, and on a fairly busy road. The preferred mode of transportation seems to be 4 wheelers. It can be a bit noisy on weekends. However, we enjoyed our stay particularly the cabin!

Second Stay Here and Still Just as Awesome

This is the second time we stayed at this cabin and it was just like we remembered it. It’s a magical place with all the deer and a short drive to a creek and river to play in. We love making s’mores, catching fireflies and enjoying the front porch. We will be back again next year. Fun ideas for families with kids: The Riverside Pool is the most fun and stop at the River across the bridge to swing off the rope into the River. We also loved Gem Mining, tubing in Ellijay and hiking Tumbling Waters Trail.

(Hurricane) Mountain Weekend

My husband and our friends thoroughly enjoyed staying at The Knotty Pine! We were in Ellijay for my brother's wedding. It was exactly as shown on the listing, and we had thorough instructions during our stay. The cabin was beautiful and had plenty of space for us. Seeing the deer throughout the neighborhood and in the yard was incredibly cool! I especially appreciated Joshua's communication with us since Hurricane Helene was coming through the few days we were there. We were able to come in Thursday night instead of Friday, and he made sure we had an early check-in time so we could get settled before the weather worsened. We will definitely stay here again for our next trip to north Georgia. :)

Wonderful Place

My husband, my parents in law and our teenage son and two rescued doggies had wonderful time at the Morgans cabin. Beautiful cabin, loved it. We all enjoyed it very much. We were welcomed by a family of deer, oh dear, lots of deer, loved it. We all loved the painting of the cabin created by the host, Kristy Morgan. Nice and clean place. Everything was perfect upon arrival, nothing to complain. Appreciated the prompt communication with the host. My husband and our son loved kayaking at Carter's lake while my parents in law and I enjoyed the picnic area and watched the boys kayak. We also visited Tumbling water tail, enjoyed the hike. My husband and I are Girl Scout leaders and outdoor trainers, outdoors is in our DNA, loved making s'mores while watching the deer. We loved the place and plan to come back.

Cabin was super cute, well stocked with essentials. The deer in the yard every day was awesome, went and bought them apples. Close to fun places to visit including the Apple barns, Ellijay downtown shops and Blue Ridge shops. Guys enjoyed golfing at three courses within short drives. Would definitely recommend this cabin and stay again if we are in the area in the area in the future.

Lovely cabin

Cabin is very cozy, the Christmas tree was very welcoming. Cabin was clean. The beat board was the daily visits from the deer, fed them fruits since we didn’t have anything else to feed them. They loved it! I I reached out to the owner with a couple of questions and he answered promptly and was pleasant about it! It was a very nice stay. Highly recommend it!

Perfect getaway

Cabin was exactly as pictured & described. Location was perfect for trips to Merciers in Blue Ridge & visiting the shops on the square in Ellijay. We bought carrots to feed the deer & they came early am & dinner time. We had 10 to feed one day. Josh was prompt in texting about lighting the pilot on the fireplace. One of my favorite places that I have stayed. Will definitely return.
