Cabin was as advertised. View was better than expected. Location was convenient and quiet. We visit Ellijay every year with family and this was one of the nicer places we've stayed.

Beautiful home and view

The home was spacious and had all the things we needed to prepare our meals. The deck was amazing overlooking the creek where we floated on tubs. The air was out our entire stay so we were uncomfortable our entire stay.

Great spot

This cabin fit our group perfectly. The cabin is on Mountain Town creek, a great spot and very pretty inside. There were a few items that needed addressing like most rentals, but overall our group liked the property and would rent again.

This is a beautiful cabin, a true log cabin with impressive high ceilings. The cabin and rooms are very spacious and comfortable! A very serene and relax atmosphere as you look out of the balcony into the rushing creek. There’s a ton of things to do in the area; winery, hiking, fishing, lakes, waterfalls and restaurants. It’s a wonderful place to vacation, we had a great time. Will be coming back to this cabin in the near future.

Serenity

We spend a lot of time at different VRBO's in N. GA and this was one of the best. Really no negatives as the kitchen was fully stocked, everything was clean and comfortable for us and 7 others between 15-24. Never even used the hot tub as we spent most of the time in the river. Didn't need to reach out to management once because everything was there for us, so that was good. Go buy a few floats from Walmart ($6 ea) then float down the river a half mile or so. There is a dirt road on the opposite side to walk back, and we put in further up the river and floated back home...so easy! I will say that the driveway is steep but not terrible. Also its 76 stairs from the kitchen to the river (yes, we counted). Definitely got in our cardio but well worth it. We also brought some folding chairs and put them in the river to read books while the water cooled our feet. Will be back if schedules align.

Clean, Spacious Cabin on MountainTown Creek

Our experience was stellar. Beautiful furniture including log beds! Loved the rocking chairs on the porch where it felt like we were in a tree house. Beautiful double fireplace and fire pit below. The creek (which was more like a river) was refreshing and the kids enjoyed playing on the tubes. Loved seeing the deer at the entrance a few times. No clutter. We will definitely be back!

Beautiful cabin

There’s no way this cabin is not a 5 stars! As you walk in the cabin you feel peaceful, beautiful true wood cabin with high ceilings. As you walk out on to the huge back deck, you can hear the sound of the roaring creek. There’s a huge out door fireplace and new rocking chairs and dinning tables and chair to sit and enjoy the beauty of the back yard and creek. The rooms are spacious, comfortable and fit the cabin theme perfectly. The kitchen is large and stocked with every thing you will need to cook a great meal. We have already booked our next vacation at this beautiful cabin.

Great location!

The location was a 10 for what we. wanted - the river in the backyard was amazing and we all enjoyed it! The cabin itself has the potential to be a 10 as well however, it needs some attention - it was surface clean which is what we expect with a rental home but, this one needs a deep cleaning soon or I'm afraid it's rating might go down drastically - the baseboards, window sills and painted walls all need attention. The covered back porch is one of the best features of the home but the cushions are worn and stained and in need of replacing. A deep clean and fresh coat of paint would greatly benefit this property. We would love to book this location in the future but would want to know that it had given some serious TLC before we did.

Awesome location!

Location was amazing - river in the backyard was perfect! We spent most of our time enjoying the river - some just sat chairs in the water and others spent the day tubing. House has the potential to be just as great however, it needs some attention. Window sills and baseboards had dust and cobwebs and any wall that was painted had marks or stains. A deep clean and fresh coat of paint would do wonders. Covered back porch was so nice but furniture cushions were old, stained and in need of replacement. We would love to book this location again but I would want to know that a deep cleaning had been done!

Mountaintown Creekside Cabin

This cabin is in a fantastic location and is super relaxing by the creek. However, this house is not being managed and maintained well. The furniture on the porch is in very poor shape and makes the porch basically unusable. The cleanliness of the cabin is an issue as well. Cobwebs, rat dropping and roaches were all witnessed in varying quantities. Lastly, during our stay both the upstairs and downstairs air conditioning units stopped working. Vacasa was responsive in fixing the first, but completely ignored our requests for service on the other unit.

You get what you pay for

Our group definitely had mixed feelings staying at this property.The good: the price was good, the location was great, the actual size of the property was great for our group, and the river in the backyard was very scenic. The bad: This property was not clean and lacked basic necessities. I cleaned something up off the floor and removed a whole layer of just grime/dirt off the floor. We had to buy extra trash bags, sponges, and dish soap. There was half a roll of toilet paper for our group of 10 which was problematic for a multi-night stay. The owners left a note saying to use a specific type of toilet paper due to the septic system. I called VRBO to see what type of toilet paper the owners would prefer but VRBO was not able to tell me. The other frustrating thing was that VRBO said they would bring our group toilet paper for our stay which of course was never delivered.

Girls trip- Birthday weekend

The home was safe behind a locked neighborhood. We had 6 women so the house fit us well. I love to cook so I was surprised at how well the cooking supplies were well stocked. We really enjoyed the river having tubing races (not pretty but fun) and putting the chairs in the river to just relax and talk. The only downside is upstairs, there is a bathroom and bedroom but the others in the shared bedroom have to come in for middle of the night bathroom activities. We are trying to talk our husbands into coming back next year though :) The host and the representatives are very responsive so if there is an issue, they come with solutions. Good job!!

Bats in bedroom!

Upon arrival we smelled a horrible odor and heard odd noises in the front guest bedroom, after closer inspection we discovered a bat nested behind the window frame. Maintenance came out and discovered a gap in the wall allowing the bats to enter but wouldn’t be able to repair until after our scheduled checkout. We asked to at least plug the gap with something temporarily and so they did. They also advised us to close the bedroom door and not use the room, which wasn’t going to be used anyway due to the horrible smell. Beyond the bat infestation the home needs a deep cleaning, spider webs throughout the home. The creek view was nice and the home has tons of potential but needs proper maintenance.

Perfect Cabin!

What a lovely home! The creek in the back is perfect for kids floating and skipping rocks. The house was immaculate and well laid out. The porch was the place to be! And the master closet is big enough for a pack n play! The house was more than big enough for our family trip of 9!
