Beautiful Cabin

My son and his bride-to-be were recently married at Summit Farms and this cabin was conveniently located near the venue. Very clean and nicely decorated inside. I would recommend to others.

Quick getaway

The home was clean and well stocked with cooking essentials and games. We didn't use the electronic games but there were plenty. The owner was more helpful than Vacasa for entry but we had terrible cell service (Verizon). I was worried I had missed the clean up instructions, unfortunately the instructions arrived after we had already left so I wish those would've been sent the night before check out. The house itself was great, beds were comfortable and the back porch was very relaxing and enjoyable. It's in a quiet area but close enough to town.

Good location and set up

Home is located nicely. Even though there are homes on either side the distance and woods make it seem pretty private. My only suggestion to the owner is move the TV over the mantel. It would open up the room for our sitting. 4 Br home but main den only seated about 5 to 6. There is a basement with another TV that would also seat about 6 to 7....

Well equipped spacious cabin, perfect location for us.

We visited Ellijay for a wedding and chose this cabin due to proximity to the wedding venue. There was room for all of us including 2 toddlers. The cabin is extremely “decorated,” so we had to put A LOT of the decor out of reach as soon as we arrived. Decent WiFi was appreciated since cell service was extremely limited. The kitchen had everything you can think of appliance-wise. I would bring extra towels if staying longer than a few days. Check in and check out were easy, despite missing written instructions in the cabin. Vacasa did not respond to questions we had about non-working lamps and fireplace when we arrived. Our only big complaint was difficulty getting heat to the upstairs far bedroom and basement at night. Glad we brought extra blankets because it was chilly!
