From the start of booking, our host went above and beyond to ensure that our stay at "A Rustic Hideout" would be enjoyable and memorable. The weather didn't exactly cooperate during during our visit, but we were perfectly content with having coffee and breakfast on the porch overlooking beautiful scenery, snuggling by the fire, and relaxing in the hot tub.
This is definitely a spot we plan to revisit!
Excellent communication. The cabin is beautiful and well-stocked with lots of outdoor space in warmer months.

Wonderful Stay!
Our stay at A Rustic Hideout was wonderful. The cabin is very clean and nicely stocked with everything you may need. I did not find anything broken or overused, as is the case in many cabins. The mountain view is beautiful. I felt confident that Marilyn would take care of anything that came up, and her attention to detail was unmatched. Be sure to prepare for navigating the road in. I printed the directions that Marilyn provided, and we drove it in the daylight. It is tedious, but worth it! We would love to stay at A Rustic Hideout again!

Amazing place to get away from it all!
This was our second visit to the Rustic Hideout. It was just as amazing as the first. Cabin has everthing you need if you just want to stay there and not venture out. If you choose to explore many things to do close by. On this trip we also spent time on the square in Elijay, eating out in Blue Ridge, and a day trip to Helen. Nothing better then waking up and sitting on the balcony enjoying the view. The layout of a common area and then two sepeate king bedroom with bathroom is ideal. Cabin allows the opportunity to spend time or spread our if you need space. We will be back!
Thank you so much, Kimberly. Your kind words about the views mean a great deal to me. It is wonderful to know that made your stay memorable.
You are always welcome back whenever your travels bring you to Ellijay again.
Warmest regards,

Lovely little cabin tucked away at the mountain top! The road is quite challenging to get to the cabin but beautiful view once you arrive. Make sure you have everything you need upon arrival and be sure to follow travel instructions from owner! Host is very accommodating and pleasant although sometimes response via email is delayed. Property caretaker was quick to respond to minor issue. If looking for a quiet, off the grid space, this is a great option!
This property was everything we hoped for for our weekend getaway!

The host was amazing. Very proactive communication and was very helpful. The cabin was a nice setup for my wife, my elderly parents and our two small dogs. If there will be any strong rains or snow you will need an 4WD/ AWD. My Subaru Outback had no issues.

This probably wouldn’t bother most guests, but I love to cook and there was no light above the stove , so it was hard to see what I was cooking. Everything else was really wonderful!! The host was great too!

I am very sorry to hear that the lack of lighting above the stove affected your cooking experience. I wish I had known during your visit - it is something I could have taken care of right away. As soon as a later guest mentioned it, I had it addressed promptly. I always appreciate when guests share these small details because they help me keep the cabin comfortable for everyone who comes after.
You were a wonderful guest, and I truly hope I will have the pleasure of welcoming you back again. Your comfort matters to me, and I would love the chance to host you for a stay that feels every bit like a 10.

A quiet peaceful week.
The cabin is nestled in tall trees with a spectacular view of mountains. We spent most of our time on the porch reading, talking and gazing at the mountains. It was the break we needed. Marilyn is a most gracious host. If we were to go back to the mountains, this is where we will stay. A thoroughly enjoyable week.

Our stay at A Rustic Hideout couldn't have been better.
The cabin was very clean and nice. The most well equipped place we have ever stayed. Amenities included a hot tub, rockers and a grill on main level deck. On deck below were two large bed swings, more rockers and a bar. There was also a fire pit. All this with a scenic view of the mountains. Our hostess, Marilyn, was the BEST. Information was so thorough. If we had a question, she answered immediately.
Cabin was very clean and tidy and had everything we needed. As both bedrooms are on suite it is perfect for two couples,
