There is no better way to finish off a peaceful day than roasting s’mores around the fire pit or soaking in the private hot tub. Be sure to gaze up at the star-filled sky!

When those eyes get heavy, sleep well in one of the 3 comfortably furnished bedrooms and loft.

Quick Spring Break getaway!

The creek is amazing, we enjoyed fire pit, hot tub, game room, and sitting in living room staring out the big window perfect location for our guys to hit mountain bike trails and we enjoyed strolling downtown Ellijay with the kiddos! Would love to come back when it’s a bit warmer to really enjoy the creek!!

Great place to reconnect and recharge

The cabin was everything we hoped for. Each day was started with the sound of the rushing creek before we took our dog walking along the trails nearby. We loved the pool table and likely spent more time there than anywhere else in the house. The fire pit and hot tub were also a huge draw for us in the evenings. The cabin is perfectly located between downtown Ellijay and Blue Ridge which both have great dining and shopping.

Great family getaway

We had a wonderful stay at this property. The cabin was beautiful and very family friendly. We had a mix of adults, kids of various ages, and dogs, and everyone had a great time. The dogs loved splashing in the creek and the kids spent the much of their time outside exploring. Great location too -- nice and close to Ellijay, Blue Ridge, and hiking spots.

A peaceful oasis

We had an incredible stay at this gorgeous cabin! It was comfortable, very clean, and well equipped. The creek and hot tub were big hits with our kids. Steven was very easy to communicate with and a five star host. This is the best cabin we have stayed at in the blue ridge area and we absolutely hope to stay here again!

Christmas in the Mountains

House was great. A couple of minor hiccups with the oven due to power outages. If you want to go off the grid, this is the place. WiFi was a challenge, no cell setvice without WiFi communication. And let’s not forget to mention the extremely steep driveway and minimal parking! Going up the driveway was a bit terrifying if you are in an SUV. The master bedroom was cozy and the bed was comfortable. The other beds were extremely hard!! The owner, Steven, was very friendly and was always available if we had questions or concerns.

About the host

Hosted by Steven Bonner

I love to serve others and hosting on VRBO is an avenue for me to do just that. I am married and have 3 grown children, love to travel, hike, and sip on my favorite cocktail creekside at our cabin in Ellijay. When not in Ellijay, I live in TN and teach at a university and serve as an Executive Coach.

Why they chose this property

We love the trees, seclusion, and the babbling creek. When we want to get away, this is where we go. It is far enough away to feel like we are actually getting away and decompressing, yet close enough to town to grab some great food with the family.

What makes this property unique

I think the most unique benefit of our cabin is the proximity to the creek. It is simply wonderfully relaxing. Of course, we have outfitted our game room with all the necessities to entertain family and friends if the weather keeps you inside. Guests will enjoy our pool table, multitude of games, theatre area, and classic arcade games.
