Wildlife, & Stunning Views Wake up to breathtaking sunrises at Sky Island Lodge, a rustic yet comfortable 3-bedroom cabin perched on 3 private acres in the mountains of Ellijay. Designed for relaxation and connection, the home offers 2 queen beds and 1 twin, plus heating and AC to keep you comfortable year-round. Cozy up by the stone fireplace, sip your morning coffee on the deck with sweeping views, or stargaze around the fire pit at night. The cabin is fully equipped with everyday comforts, including a bathroom with hair dryer for convenience, while still giving you the feeling of being tucked away in nature. This is true mountain living: you may spot deer, wild turkeys, or even the occasional bear in the woods nearby. 4x4/AWD is strongly suggested for the rugged gravel road — but the reward is total serenity, sunrise magic, and a chance to unplug in a one-of-a-kind retreat. And for those who don’t want to unplug, we have you covered with high speed Fios, perfect for working remotely. Just minutes away, you’ll find apple orchards, local wineries, hiking trails, waterfalls, and the charming shops and restaurants of downtown Ellijay and Blue Ridge. Whether you’re tubing down the river, exploring scenic mountain overlooks, antiquing or enjoying seasonal festival like the Ellijay Apple Fest, there’s no shortage of ways to make your stay unforgettable. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach towels ### Internet - Available in the cabin: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Kitchen island - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace ### Entertainment - Books - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - 4 steps to reach entrance - No elevator - Smoking not allowed ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In the mountains ### Things to do - Birdwatching nearby - Fishing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Hunting nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Mountain climbing nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher ### General - Garden - Unit size: 1,100 square feet ## Similar properties ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/100000000/99400000/99394300/99394248/2eafc9e1.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Cozy cabin in the Cherokee National Forest.

Peaceful location, very clean home, we will definitely be back! ##### Tana R. Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sara G. Dec 30, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We appreciated the clean and new bedding. There were plenty of pillows, blankets, and towels. The kitchen even had basic cooking oil and spices/seasonings to share. The washer and dryer were available with detergent. The outdoor areas had comfortable seating. There was plenty of room and counter space. I appreciated the option of ceiling fans, but I think we needed new batteries because I couldn’t get two of them to work. And I wish the living room seating had another comfy chair.The owners clearly thought through details to provide a comfortable mountain retreat space. It is secluded and quiet. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/de9ac436-9741-41f7-a761-609d8922f449-1767057770693.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/c4a53e37-432e-4856-8baf-ac688e32e243-1767057772022.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Sara G. Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sarai C. Jan 5, 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Kelly and her husband were responsive from the moment we booked to the moment we left the cabin. It was cozy, had plenty of space, had nice decoration, and we felt that we didn't even want to be outside. The kitchen, living room and porch were huge! How nice to have room for my kids to run around. We read our bibles at the table while they played in other areas. The bathroom was also very spacious & stocked with all things we needed. Beds were comfy and having the laundry room is always a plus. Wifi was also great! Fast for being in the mountains. :) Speaking of, the area was absolutely beautiful. What a glorious way to wake up and admire God's creation. Lastly, the roads were a bit rugged, but if you have a larger car (not a sedan), you will be fine driving up. Just dont drive slow so you dont get stuck in the parts with pot holes... Please disregard the first review! That is highly inaccurate. I personally felt it was just fine. The preferable arrival would be daytime so that you could see driving up - but nonetheless, it was a great stay and drive in to the cabin. All was as expected and I will definitely return. Thank you guys for your detail and attention to everything. ##### Sarai C. Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### kym T. Nov 12, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy When they advertise that they recommend a 4x4 they aren't kidding. We love off roading and have a Razor at home. But the roads leading up the the cabin are ridiculous and its sooo far back and we were in a Jeep Renegade. We didn’t stay at all, the heat was off and it was 48 degrees in the cabin, 35 outside. Once we found the gas heater on the wall downstairs we realized that was the only one for the entire cabin. The staircase going upstairs is so steep and has no hand rail at all on the right. I do not recommend any children to stay there. We only got refunded part of our money waiting on the rest. ##### kym T. Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025
