Nestled in the serene heart of the Rich Mountains, this secluded house on 6 acres is the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The cabin itself is an ideal blend of rustic charm and modern comfort. High ceilings, large windows, and a stone fireplace create a cozy yet spacious feel, while the full kitchen, comfortable furnishings, and thoughtful touches make it feel like a home away from home. Whether you're curling up with a good book, cooking a meal, or simply enjoying the view from the wrap-around porch, the space encourages relaxation and reconnection. The true beauty of this cabin lies in its seclusion. The only sounds you hear are the gentle rustling of leaves, the chirping of birds, and the occasional distant call of wildlife. It's an ideal setting for those looking to unplug, unwind, and embrace nature. For outdoor enthusiasts, the cabin is a gateway to hiking, exploring, and enjoying the Rich Mountain landscape. Ellijay itself is known for its apple orchards and it’s just a short drive away if you want to venture out for a day. Overall, this cabin is the ultimate retreat for anyone seeking peace, solitude, and natural beauty. A drive down the road takes you to Springer Mountain where the beginning of the famous Appalachian Trail starts or the Benton MacKaye Trail.

This property is absolutely beautiful. It was the quiet, peaceful getaway we needed. Everything was exactly as shown in pictures and supplies were plentiful. We’d absolutely stay again.
We really enjoyed the screen porch, listening to the birds, and the cool mountain air. The kitchen, bedroom, baths and living room were great! Very comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed.
The cabin was spotless and so well taken care of. Everything we needed was there...from a fully stocked kitchen to the paper items we usually need to bring ourselves! Information left around the cabin was helpful and check in was easy.
We truly enjoyed our stay The view was Amazing!!It is very high up in the mountain and secluded Was a tight narrow driveway , brush could be cut back That would be the only negative.Would definitely stay again!
Great house for a getaway! Private, secluded mountain home. Perfect for relaxing and recharging. Kitchen was well stocked, tv for watching the football game, great views! We didn’t use the fireplace but it would have been cozy if the weather was cooler. No issues or complaints at all! Would love to stay again.
This was our 4th time staying here. We love it so much. The area is beautiful and the hiking is spectacular. The house so cozy, clean and comfortable. It’s hard to leave. Molly is such a great host. She has great advise about the area and is very quick to respond to any questions. Again LOVE it here and will definitely be back.
This was a very nice house in a secluded area. Definitely a drive to get to most anywhere. All in all a great week to stay up in the mountains, especially coming from the flatlands of Florida.
Husband and I just needed to get away from everything for a moment.
