Very close to everything in Elllijay, but gives you the sense of being out in the middle of nowhere. Great fenced in yard. Owners are excellent at responding to any problems or questions you have. Would definitely recommend to friends

Love the pet friendly cabin. The cabin met all our expectations. Only 1 thing , the back yard needed the grass cut.
Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2026
Response from VrboOwner on 2 October 2026
Hi, thank you for your kind review.I just wanted to explain.We have a grass cutter that comes every two weeks , and the only reason why that area couldn't have been cut was because the fire pit was less than a month old and the seed had just been laid. If the grass is cut too early , it could damage the new grass. It's now been cut with correct timing not to damage the new grass. I hope you enjoyed the brand new edition and fire pit

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at “Gunsmoke”. There was plenty of room for the two of us plus our two dogs, who loved the fenced back yard. The host was also available if we had any questions.

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!
