This cabin has everything you need for a great river side vacation. There were bowls for our puppy, tools in the kitchen, and wood for the fireplace. The beds were comfortable and there was zero wait for the hot water in the shower. The wrap around porch on the main floor was amazing.

This is our second time staying in this cabin, and I cannot say enough about what a wonderful time we had. First of all, the host is amazing! Second, the cabin is in perfect condition to enjoy some needed time off with family or friends. My family and I spent Christmas over at the cabin, and had such a good time, that we are planning to come back again. There were lots of deer this time around!

A second stay

We first stayed here in 2024 and when we planned a return to ellijay/blue ridge we were happy to find the cabin was available again! It's spacious, well equipped, prime riverfront location and easy drive inside coosawattee and to the surrounding cities. We will definitely stay again if we make another trip to the area.
