Pet friendly. Secluded. Entirely level property ! This Cabin is conveniently located just minutes (4 miles) from downtown Ellijay and the Apple Festival, yet it feels like it’s miles from civilization. It is a 4+ bedroom, 3 ½ bathroom cabin in the woods, just steps away from a beautiful trophy trout stream that can be heard throughout the property and house. Native Americans once thrived in this area and considered the rivers sacred. The Master-on-main has a brand new pillow-top king sized mattress, a sitting area with a flat screen TV, and a large bathroom with separate shower and Jacuzzi tub for two. It opens up to both the front stone patio and back deck overlooking the river through French doors. A second bedroom on the lower level features a queen sized bed with an organic cotton high-end Sealy pillow-top mattress. There is a great view of the river and this room has it's own separate patio area. The full bathroom with shower/bathtub combo is adjacent. Upstairs is a cute loft that overlooks the dining room and fireplace. There is a computer nook with desk and a king sized mattress that can sleep one or two. Perfect for reading a book or taking a nap. A third bedroom upstairs overlooks the river and has a brand new queen sized bed. The private outdoor deck accessible through sliding glass doors is a great place to enjoy morning coffee. The full bathroom with shower is adjacent.

It was large enough for us to gather safely. Because of covid, we did not visit the winery, or other site seeing attractions in the area. We did enjoy sitting around the fire pit by the river, playing games in front of the fireplace, watching movies and sipping hot drinks on the back porch. Short hikes in the area and the hot tub were also popular. It was a great week and we all appreciated Ashleigh's warm hospitality. ##### Mary Pace S.

It was exactly as described and pictured and Ashley was very communicative and helpful. We rented the house for my mother’s 80th birthday and had 12 family members ranging from 3 to 86. Every member of the family enjoyed the river and there was plenty of room in the house. We especially loved the huge round griddle grill and used it everyday. Ashley gave us tons of extra information about fun things to do and good fishing locations. The fire pit was terrific and the kayaks were well used. We would definitely stay again. ##### Allison H.

The location and house setting is beautiful. I have never been at such a well supplied vacation home. From a well stocked kitchen, games, blankets, dog bowls, the fire pit set up etc. So warm and welcoming we felt like we were visiting someones home. Listening to the creek right outside the door was so relaxing. We spent most our time outside fishing, kayaking, playing in the creek and cooking on the grills. Game nights were fun at the large table to seat all of us while others enjoyed the large screen TV. We were able to enjoy local outings to the Farmers Market, Apple Orchard and a Winery. The only thing I would be aware of is the road turns into gravel and can be tricky in a few spots if you have a little car or sports car. Other than that this place is a treasure! ##### Michelle H.

The experience here was second to none! The cabin is huge, yet cozy and inviting. As clean and well-stocked as any cabin we have ever stayed in. The kitchen has anything you need to prepare a meal for two or twenty. The mattresses, pillows and linens were that of a five star hotel. Lots of private space upstairs for the kiddos, such a great floor plan at this cabin. Large dining room table, as well as a stunning live edge bar on the deck, which overlooks the creek. Amazing fire pit next to the water, which was stocked with firewood and log starter! This cabin is situated on a large level lot, making it easy to meander around and enjoy the beautiful setting, play outdoor games etc. We caught a couple of nice trout, had multiple cookouts on the large grill, told stories by the fire, kayaked (rented the ones on site) tubed, enjoyed some fine dining at locally owned restaurants, visited an apple orchard/farmers market and took a short drive to beautiful Carters Lake. We truly made a lot of special memories here. I have to mention the welcome basket. It was absolutely well thought out and prepared especially for our family. The host (Ashley) was very respectful, responsive to our questions and has the southern hospitality that makes a great trip just a little bit better! We will be back soon! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Harmony N., Panama City, FL, US Aug 5, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great vacation for water lovers We have vacationed in the blue ridge area every summer for the last 14 years but this was our first rental in Ellijay. We loved the cabin and especially the easy access to the river. We spent a lot of time sitting in the water, fishing (didn’t catch much) and tubing. Enjoyed the fire pit at night. Plenty of room for relaxing, eating and sleeping for our large party. Enjoyed shopping downtown and the local wineries. We had friends rent the cabin next door which was perfect. ##### Harmony N.

We were sad to learn that the hot tub is no longer there. But the kids had plenty of fun in the creek. Great place for a family or even a family and friends because the cabin sleeps so many! ##### Tinika L. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lauren T.

Ashleigh was very sweet and attentive to our needs. The river in the back was the highlight of our trip and offered a lot of options for the kids to use theirs imaginations while the parents sat down and relaxed for a while. Thank you Ashleigh! ##### Lauren T.

She was so helpful and full of knowledge. The cabin was very comfortable for all of us. The kitchen was well equipped. Fire pit was a hit. Watch out for diving beavers at night! You will not be disappointed here. Thanks and we will be back! ##### Betsy R. Stayed 7 nights in Nov 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brian L.

We had 6 adults and 9 kids and there was more than enough space for all of us. We spend most of our time by the fire pit and the river, but loved the whole property. The kids loved the hot tub and us guys loved the grill! The beds were comfy, and the kitchen and dining was just big enough to comfortably allow us to have a few nights of dinners in. Definitely recommend! ##### Brian L. Stayed 6 nights in Oct 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### KC G.

Located 7-8 minutes to Ellijay and about 25 to Blue Ridge. Just around the corner is the coolest apple barn! Owner is very responsive and helpful with activities and local happenings. Safe bet for a huge cabin with everything you will need to tap out for a few days! ##### KC G. Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Katie G.

We came right in and felt at home. Such a gorgeous house and lot- we spent so much time outside fishing, playing, and sitting by the campfire. The hot tub was an amazing plus for us as well. We plan to come back!! ##### Katie G.

My kids loved kayaking and floating in the river on the hot afternoons. Ashleigh was great to work with, gravel road is a little rough, we went in and out each day and blew out the suspension in my SUV. Great place to escape from the city! ##### Jennifer G.

This is a beautiful piece of property that sits right on the river. It is peaceful and tranquil. There was 16 of us in total with 6 kids ranging from 2 -15 years old. There was something for everyone from tubing down the river, to fishing and kayaking and hot tubing. The fire pit was enjoyed by all, the kids made s'mores in the early evening and the adults enjoyed beverages later in the evening. We did a lot of things in the area from fly fishing, to wine tasting, brewery hopping, water water rafting and tubing on the Cartecay River. We took a couple longer adventures to the Atlanta Aquarium as well as the Chattanooga Zoo. The house has everything you could need to make family dinners. The patio area and grill was used daily and thoroughly enjoyed. The hostess, Ashleigh, was absolutely amazing and extremely responsive and easy to communicate with when we had questions or need assistance. ##### Barbara B.
