Very disappointing!This location was okay; the house cleanliness was subpar. We found bugs alive and dead and bedrooms, bathrooms and kitchen area. The back porch was very dirty and not been cleaned in sometime, it is not safe for kids. No screen door and the screen was pulled apart in several locations. The floors and game room area was very dirty.The microwave/hood does not work, cooking on the stovetop is questionable.Would not recommend this house until upgrades and cleaning become a priority.

The home is nice & has a perfect layout for a family. Plenty of room. Nice back porch & outside seating. It’s at the end of a cul de sac & you aren’t right up under other cabins.The community pool is not far & nice. I would definitely stay here again.

Family Vacation

The home was clean, had plenty of space and amenities were all as described. It was the perfect get away to spend time with family for Christmas. The propane ran out during the stay. Nate responded quickly, stayed in contact, gave options and made sure propane was delivered. Nate and Shana were great hosts.

Peaceful vacation

Our family of 5 had a wonderful vacation at the cabin. It is on a quiet, peaceful cul-de-sac and the views are amazing. The cabin is spacious and very comfortable. The kids loved the hot tub and playing cards, darts, and basketball in the game room. We also enjoyed hiking the trails in the neighborhood. It is conveniently located to both Ellijay and Blue Ridge and we enjoyed the shopping and restaurants in both towns. We would definitely recommend this cabin!

Beautiful view high up on the mountain. The cabin was very spacious. Easily fit three adults and four children. We definitely used the kitchen which was stocked up with dishes and cooking utensils. There's a nice grill outside that we used. Overall, would definitely recommend if you have a large group and don't want to be on top of each other in a cramped hotel room!

Fall Break 2024

We had such a relaxing and fun Fall Break!! The kids enjoyed the hammock and game room, the adults loved everything! We went to Hillcrest Orchards and enjoyed the Apple Festival, bounce pads, pig races, games and of course snacks & souvenirs! We took the kids gem mining and putt-putt golfing. Had lots of deer visit the cabin and saw a bear cross the road returning to the cabin one afternoon! The cabin was clean and very comfortable.

Incredible Mountain Home/Cabin; Perfect for Families!

We had a fantastic family getaway at this property! Wonderful mountain views, with just the perfect amenities to make it the perfect spot to relax and enjoy nature. Spacious rooms, beautiful view to the mountains throughout the entire home, cozy living room, and the kids loved the game room and hot tub. Definitely recommend. Both Shana and her husband were wonderful; they accommodated us and communicated with us to made sure our stay at their mountain home was just perfect. We traveled with a 2 year old, 8 year old, and 13 year old and this location was perfect for all ages! Def recommend and look forward to returning in the summer.

Cute house

We enjoyed our stay here. We did have an issue when we got there with getting in the house due to the key pad being dead, but I called the owner and we were able to get that resolved quickly. It is a very cute house and is in a quiet neighborhood on a mountain. The owner was friendly and quick to respond. Hot tub was nice to have but was kind of dirty and could have used a good clean. I also did not like that there weren’t curtains on atleast all of the bedroom windows. Over all it was a nice get away for us, as we would definitely stay here again. The surrounding areas offer a lot to do an see as well, so that’s also a plus.

Rachel, thank you for your review and for bringing the hot tub cleanliness to my attention. I will ask the cleaner to do a deep clean. Thank you for letting me know about the blinds. There should be curtains and or blinds in every bedroom. I will look into this issue right away. Otherwise, I am glad you had time to relax and enjoy the area. Thank you for staying with us.

Mountain Getaway

We enjoyed getting to know the little town of Ellijay. It is in a beautiful part of northern Georgia. We had a few hiccups with our stay but Shana was very responsive and quick to help. We really enjoyed playing tennis at the nearby community court and watching the deer wandering through the yard. Something to note, especially when trying to find the garbage dumpsters, is that there are 4 different gated entrances to different sections of the community. The dumpsters are at a different gated entrance than the cabin.

About the host

Hosted by Shana Cooper

Host profile image
We are a family of 5 living in the Atlanta area. We love getting away from the city to enjoy the beautiful mountains surrounding Ellijay. We fell in love with Walnut Mountain on one of our trips and decided to make it a second home.

Why they chose this property

We love the location of the property. It is an easy drive to get groceries, visit downtown and do some antique shopping. The property sits on a quiet part of the mountain with easy ground to hike around and we love that the community has little lakes, streams, a basketball area, tennis and a playground.

What makes this property unique

We love the 360 mountain views, star light at night and privacy the property offers. Whether you are swinging on the hammock on the front porch, sipping coffee on the couch or enjoying time in the hot tub there are little mountain views everywhere. At night enjoy gorgeous star gazing and the quiet privacy this property affords.
