We had an amazing stay at this cabin in Ellijay! The location was peaceful and secluded while still being close enough to downtown, hiking trails, wineries, and local attractions. The cabin was spotless, well-maintained, and equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable getaway. We especially enjoyed the mountain views, and relaxing outdoor space. Check-in was easy, communication with the host was excellent, and every detail made us feel welcome. Whether you're looking for a romantic weekend, a family trip, or a quiet retreat in the North Georgia mountains, this cabin is a fantastic choice. We would definitely stay here again!

Lovely Cabin

Our stay was great. This cabin looked brand new and was pretty clean. The only thing I would note is small, there was a layer of dust on the headbo

Long weekend getaway

The cabin was great, no issues. Hot tub was relaxing, and the beds were very comfortable.This was one of the best stocked kitchens I have had when renting through VRBO. Would definitely recommend this unit.

Amazing and Peaceful Cabin

This cabin was absolutely amazing! It was immaculately clean, beautifully designed, and provided the perfect escape into nature. The peaceful setting made it feel like a true sanctuary—so relaxing and serene. I couldn’t have asked for a better place to unwind and enjoy the tranquility of the surroundings. Truly a hidden gem!

Beautifully decorated, comfortable and clean cabin

We loved this cabin and hot tub. Also, the beautiful double decks with comfortable furniture. My only complaint would be the water pressure. Two people can’t shower at the same time.

Fabulous weekend!

We had a great weekend, the cabin was PERFECT! There were three couples, two kids ages eight and 12, the space was absolutely perfect! We went to a vineyard close by in Ellijay and downtown Ellijay for a bit, spent some time on the fabulous porch playing dice games And enjoying the fireplace and the hot tub! There was everything you could possibly imagine to need in the kitchen as far as cookware and utensils! Could not have asked for anything better equipped! We definitely hope to revisit this cabin again!

Girls’ Getaway

Great property and communication with the property manager. We enjoyed our stay very much. The cabin is comfortable with a well-stocked kitchen. One thing to note is that we arrived after dark, and it was confusing when we were trying to choose where to turn to access the driveway. Renters should drive past the sign notifying the driver to stop. Don’t take the left at the sign because it is a very bumpy trail, not a driveway or road. I would definitely recommend this property though as a great place to stay.

Not a toddler friendly cabin

When you first walk in the beautiful smell of cedar welcomes you, I'm always worried a place will smell weird but this house smelled wonderful. Us parents spent so much time on the porch swing and the older kids loved the arcade games. The beds are very comfortable and there is plenty of space to stretch out but it's also cozy enough to keep everyone feeling together. There are a lot of little issues with this rental and they add up to make for a frustrating stay. The biggest issue for us though was that the cabin is not toddler friendly at all. Batteries are stored under the sink for little hands, the air vents aren't secured to the floor and there is no way to block off the stairs with the stairwell being so wide it's hard to find a solution unless you get creative. Overall this is a nice cabin if you have kids older than 5 or if it's all adults. The porch swing is so relaxing and even though the remote for the fan on the porch didn't work we enjoyed the deck all weekend. A word of caution though, beware of the pots coated in teflan. They shedded into our food ruining our first meal at the cabin. The rest of the kitchen is well stocked though so it's easy to avoid them. Also, open the long curtains in the upstairs master bedroom as they are so long they steal all the cold air making the bedroom hot and stuffy.

10 out of 10; would give 20 out of 10 if I could!We stay at VRBOs often (3 different places in the past month). This is by far the nicest, cleanest, well-stocked cabin in which we have ever stayed. We came to the mountains for some outdoor adventures, but the facilities in this cabin were so nice, we had to force ourselves to go have fun outside.The photos are accurate, except they don't do it justice! The upper level of the outdoor deck was our favorite place. We watched baseball games over the outdoor fireplace, had coffee/lunch at the outdoor table, & relaxed on the giant outdoor swing. We chatted in the rocking chairs on the lower deck while the kids played cornhole. The arcade games were a hit! Bedrooms were incredibly clean and so nice, esp. the main suite on the kitchen level. Loved having an extra bathroom on the main level so we weren't traipsing through a bedroom or up and down stairs every time. The kitchen is immaculate & had three of every utensil you can imagine, plus all the pans and appliances you could want. Light switches were each labeled, and the decor was stunning.The porch view is lovely - we went in June when the trees are all green, so it was hard to see the mountains. But we heard the most beautiful birdsongs morning and evening. The main level is so spacious. We had 8 people, and we never felt like we were trapped together. There was enough space for people to have a break from the crowd. I could go on, but I'm out of room! You'll love it here!
