We enjoyed staying in this cabin. The location was great for going in to Ellijay downtown and for exploring the hiking trails and wineries nearby. We loved the backyard and fire pit area. The kitchen was well stocked and we cooked a few dinners there. The outside lights were very helpful and appreciated.

My husband and I, our two small dogs stayed at Gunsmoke Cabin as a last minute booking. The cabin was perfect, meeting all of our needs. The cabin was stocked with all the extras in case you forget something - even floss piks! The king size bed was super comfy. Loved the decor. The fenced back yard was convenient for the pups. The owner was pleasant and responded to our questions in a timely manner. Close to several hiking trails. A perfect spot to relax and enjoy nature. We will stay here again.

The peaceful surroundings made it a perfect getaway from the city. We especially enjoyed the outdoor space—whether it was sipping coffee on the porch or stargazing at night. The host was responsive and provided everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking to relax and recharge!

Amazing host and property! Loved our stay at Gunsmoke. We used it as a landing spot to travel all over northern Georgia. Honestly would have loved to spend more time relaxing in this beautiful little cabin. Would recommend an AWD vehicle to get up the steep, gravel road to the property.

About the host

Hosted by Jill LaRoche

Host profile image
My husband and are super passionate about traveling and being hosts to our properties. It's as important to us that you enjoy our place as much as we do! We have rentals in Ellijay, Bullhead City Arizona and Lake Havasu Az. along with San Felipe Baja California on the Sea of Cortez.. Please see our listings and hopefully we can host you at our other places too!

Why they chose this property

Ellijay is the little slower, little quieter then most towns. You have more chance to see everything here then getting consumed in a big city.
Why not Ellijay, it's amazing here!
We fell in love with this sweet little cabin at first sight. I love that it's tiny but so roomy at the same time. We feel so relaxed and comfortable here.

What makes this property unique

So much room to run around in the open property.. Place a game of horseshoes, badminton or just sit by the fire & knowing our dogs are safe in the fenced back yard is a huge bonus!.. You feel so far away from everything yet only 15 minutes from town.
