This professionally designed and recently updated mountain retreat is just what you need for a cozy couple(s) trip or a memory-making family fun get-away.

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.

Great Cabin

Our stay at Marilyn's cabin was absolutely fantastic! The journey up the long, twisty mountain road set the tone for a peaceful and secluded getaway. The cabin was spotless upon arrival and fully stocked with everything we needed, which made settling in effortless. We especially loved spending evenings by the fire pit and relaxing in the hot tub—both were highlights of the trip. Marilyn was an exceptional host, staying responsive and helpful throughout our stay. This is a place we would definitely return to in the future. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a serene mountain retreat!

A wonderful weekend away from it all

A lovely property, exactly as described, with every amenity you could desire. It has a beautiful view off the back porch and everything you need to cook is available for use. The hostess is a wonderful and thoughtful woman who answered all of my questions. The drive up is mountainous but manageable; since we don’t have 4WD, we just made sure to be back before dark and not try to make the drive in the rain. Definitely come stay and see the peace for yourself.

Perfect Getaway Spot

The property was just a described in the listing! My husband and I enjoyed our stay very much! The cabin was clean, the owner quickly responded to all emails, and we could not have asked for a better getaway spot to just enjoy the moutain air and nature! If you decide to stay here as well, Ellijay is a very pretty town with lots of cute shops, antique stores, and restaurants. Blue ridge is not to far and my husband and I really enjoyed our day trip on the Blue ridge Scenic Railway! There are lots of beautiful waterfalls and hiking trails nearby as well, we visited Amicalola Falls! There is lots to do nearby or you can stay and enjoy to Mountain View’s from the cabin and the hot tub!

Great mountain getaway

We had a great short, last minute stay here! It was fantastic. The location is remote and quiet, just perfect. The decks are perfect for gathering and enjoying the peaceful mountain setting. Unfortunately, we didn't see any bears...maybe next time. The cabin (house) was clean with everything we needed. The grill was great and clean. We loved sitting around the firepit and relaxing in the hot tub. Marilyns directions were spot on...the last few minutes of the drive up are definitely exciting! 5 stars, highly recommend! We're already talking about booking this winter with hopes of getting snowed in so we can't leave!

Secluded and private feeling

The cabin was cozy and clean! The view off the back porches was fantastic and the inside was decorated nicely and very clean. The kitchen had all the things you would need to cook and prepare meals. The hot tub was wonderful to have after a long day of hiking. The only drawback to the cabin is the drive up to it. Some parts of the mostly gravel road are steep and may be difficult for some people who aren’t experienced on roads like these. Thankfully, the owner gave perfect directions on how to get to the cabin. Additionally, the power was out when we arrived and the generator was running and everything necessary was working. This is a fantastic cabin to rent, especially if you want the feeling of seclusion and privacy. We are hoping to return in the near future!

4x4/AWD Recommended!

It's buried in the fine print of the property details, but a 4x4/AWD is recommended for a reason. I didn't read that far into the listing before booking it. I wish they had put that at the beginning of the listing because I wouldn't have booked it if I had known what we were in for. I've done a fair amount of off-roading in 4x4s, 2x4s, motorcycles, etc. and this was a challenge in a 2x4. We were slipping and sliding up the hills. It rained one of the days we were there and we felt stuck in the cabin because, though we could have gotten down the mountain safely, we couldn't have gotten back up it in the mud. There are no guardrails on the roads either. They say it's part of the adventure, but I wanted a relaxing weekend, not an adventure.Once we eventually got to the cabin, it was nice enough. They have a covered hot-tub, which I really liked, but it was set to 80 degrees F. It took several hours to get up to 100, where we like it. We were unable to use it the first day, like I was looking forward to doing after that drive!Their internet service had a few hicups, but nothing major. Verizon reception was good. The power never went out, but I saw what I think was a generator for when it does. Very nice! The smart TVs were nice, but you have to log in with your own info. No services (Netflix, Paramount, etc.) were included. There were some free, Sling channels with ads available, but we grew tired of watching the Dog Whisperer after a few episodes.

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.

Stunning cabin retreat with every detail thought of. Cabin ideas for work and relaxation

We stayed at Marilyn’s cabin in Ellijay for 4 nights, and from the very beginning she was an incredible host—responsive, detail-oriented, and thoughtful. The cabin has a true wow factor. It’s perfect for a couple, a small group, or even a solo retreat. My personal goal was to spend strategic workdays surrounded by nature, and this cabin was exactly what I needed. The views are inspiring, the outdoor spaces invite fresh air and creativity, and the Wi-Fi connection was strong enough for working without worry. After work, the cabin has everything for relaxation: a fire pit, swinging benches, rocking chairs on both levels, a spacious patio where we even did yoga and workouts, a jacuzzi close to showers, and a grill right off the living room. Indoors, the bathrooms were spotless and fully stocked, the kitchen had everything we needed, and there was both a smart TV and an indoor fireplace. The location is quiet and serene, with very few cars passing by. Walking down the mountain, we saw just a handful of homes and plenty of wildlife—baby bears, rabbits, and deer. My friends enjoyed the nearby waterfall hikes recommended by Marilyn, which was a highlight. It was three of us plus my service dog, and we all had a blast. The combination of comfort, thoughtful touches, and peaceful setting made this stay truly special. Thank you, Marilyn, for being such a wonderful host and for making the experience seamless.
