-- The Space

This dream location is close to the attractions of Ellijay, GA, but a million miles away from it all! The perfect place to call home while you are away! THIS is what a vacation should feel like!

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. From morning sunrises over the mountains to cozy evenings with s'mores by the fire pit or indoor fireplace, and a starlit dip in the hot tub you will not be disappointed with this cabin!

Spend your days exploring nearby hiking trails, chasing waterfalls, relaxing at wineries/breweries, and shopping in quaint downtown Ellijay. Then return to the cabin for an evening cocktail on the lower party porch with a custom bar and a beautiful mountain view.

While you may not want to cook on vacation, it will be so easy, and maybe even enjoyable in our fully stocked and recently renovated (Quartz countertops) kitchen. Or, grill on the back deck while you continue to enjoy the stupendous mountain views.

The 2 king en-suites seamlessly combine modern luxury with quaint rustic charm. The beds and linens are soft and inviting, each room has a smart TV, USB ports on the nightstands, and an attached bath with toiletries provided.

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.

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 stay!

The cabin was wonderful! The power was out when we got there but Marilyn communicated to us before we even go there and the generator provided power to enough of the house to be able to make it work until the power was back on the next morning. We really loved playing scrabble and scattergories (both at the cabin) on the swinging daybeds on the lower deck. We even saw a little armadillo trekking down the mountain one night. Highly recommend! Great host and amazing place to stay :)

Second Fantastic Visit

This was my husband and I’s second visit to the Rustic Hideout. We loved it so much last year for our anniversary that we decided to do a repeat for our anniversary this year. Our stay was fantastic yet again. The cabin is beautiful, private, and very clean! The kitchen is stocked with all the cookware and utensils that you could possibly need. The view of the mountains in the distance was a highlight of every morning and evening while we were relaxing on the porch in the rockers or in the hot tub. I can’t say enough about “A Rustic Hideout” or of the amazing job the host does to make sure your stay is a 5-star experience. We can’t wait to come back again!

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.

Breathtaking Views

Seeing is believing! The pictures do not do this place justice. We needed a peaceful place to unwind and relax and that is exactly what we got. Amazing views, very roomy offering many different areas to relax outside and enjoy nature. Marylin provided helpful tips and turn by turn directions that made getting to the cabin a breeze. So glad I found this gem!
