Nov 12, 2024 #### 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. ##### shelby b. Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tupper B. Jan 2, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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.... ##### Tupper B. Stayed 6 nights in Dec 2024 From a partner site ### 8/10 Good #### Sarah R. Oct 30, 2024 #### 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! ##### Sarah R. Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Logan A. Oct 12, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Great quiet spot! Kids enjoys fishing the whole time! All beds slept great ##### Logan A. Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 From a partner site ### 10/10 Excellent #### eric j. Jul 15, 2025 #### Stay on the River! Great location and awesome Home. Would Recommend for family's of all ages! ##### eric j. From a partner site ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kenneth R. Jul 6, 2025 #### 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. ##### Kenneth R. ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [Best Western Plus Richmond Hill Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Savannah-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Richmond-Hill-Inn.h1367198.Hotel-Information) > - [The Grey Owl Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Brunswick-Hotels-The-Grey-Owl-Inn.h18610187.Hotel-Information) > - [Comfort Suites Cumming-Atlanta near Northside Hospital Forsyth](https://www.expedia.ca/Gainesville-Hotels-Comfort-Suites-Cumming.h42422.Hotel-Information) > - [Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Bainbridge by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Thomasville-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Hotel-Suites-Bainbridge.h2865280.Hotel-Information) > - [Cumberland Queen Cottage](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Marys-Hotels-Walk-To-Cumberland-Island-Ferry.h90969389.Hotel-Information) > - [Holiday Inn Resort Jekyll Island by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Brunswick-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Resort-Jekyll-Island.h19383.Hotel-Information) > - [Blue Ridge Vacation Rental w/ Deck & Game Room!](https://www.expedia.ca/Epworth-Hotels-Blue-Ridge-Vacation-Rental-W-Deck-Game-Room.h100850174.Hotel-Information) > - [Home2 Suites by Hilton Tifton, GA](https://www.expedia.ca/Tifton-Hotels-Scottish-Inns-Tifton.h10382544.Hotel-Information) > - [Drury Plaza Hotel Valdosta](https://www.expedia.ca/Thomasville-Hotels-Drury-Inn-Suites-Valdosta.h5455897.Hotel-Information) > - [Best Western Inn & Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Macon-Hotels-Best-Western-Inn-Suites.h85076.Hotel-Information) > - [Riverview Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Brunswick-Hotels-Riverview-Hotel.h12608465.Hotel-Information) > - [Lake Oconee Lake Front Cabin+Private Dock+Fire Pit+Fireplace+AMAZING VIEWS!](https://www.expedia.ca/Eatonton-Hotels-Lake-Oconee-Lake-Front-CabinPrivate-DockViews-Views-Views.h90214152.Hotel-Information) > - [Days Inn by Wyndham Elberton](https://www.expedia.ca/Hartwell-Hotels-Days-Inn-By-Wyndham-Elberton.h6498.Hotel-Information) > - [Meadow Creek Retreat - Family Friendly | Rustic Modern | Hot Tub](https://www.expedia.ca/Cherry-Log-Hotels-Meadow-Creek-Retreat-Family-Friendly-Rustic-Modern-Hot-Tub.h89718140.Hotel-Information) > - [Samuel Elbert Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Hartwell-Hotels-Samuel-Elbert-Hotel.h19672351.Hotel-Information) > - [Lanier Islands Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Gainesville-Hotels-Lanier-Islands-Legacy-Lodge.h23247.Hotel-Information) > - [Mariners Landing 3 bed/2.5 bath townhome- Location!](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Simons-Island-Hotels-Mariners-Landing-3-Bed25-Bath-Townhome-Location.h90829174.Hotel-Information) > - [425 Magnolia Unit I by Hodnett Cooper](https://www.expedia.ca/Brunswick-Hotels-425-Magnolia-Unit-I-By-Hodnett-Cooper.h42638730.Hotel-Information) > - [Oceanfront, 2 BR 2 BA, Walk to Village, Private Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Simons-Island-Hotels-Oceanfront.h57236679.Hotel-Information) > - [Secluded Cabin | Sauna | Hot Tub | Pet Friendly | Game Room | Wrap Around Deck](https://www.expedia.ca/Helen-Hotels-Secluded-Cabin-2BR-3-BA-Sauna-Hot-Tub-Pool-Table-Wrap-Around-Deck.h28899329.Hotel-Information) > - [Huck Finn’s Hideaway / Hot Tub On Lake and creek](https://www.expedia.ca/Dahlonega-Hotels-Huck-Finns-Hideaway-Hot-Tub-On-Lake-And-Creek.h91914752.Hotel-Information) > - [Marsh view home w/ screened porch, king bed - 7 minutes to downtown!](https://www.expedia.ca/Savannah-Hotels-Beautiful-Marsh-View-Home-W-Screened-Porch-7-Minutes-To-Downtown.h89259103.Hotel-Information) > - [Callaway Resort & Gardens](https://www.expedia.ca/LaGrange-Hotels-Callaway-Resort-Gardens.h37734.Hotel-Information) > - [Chateau Elan](https://www.expedia.ca/Braselton-Hotels-Chateau-Elan.h49872.Hotel-Information) > - [Sea Island Resorts](https://www.expedia.ca/Brunswick-Hotels-The-Inn-At-Sea-Island.h6845161.Hotel-Information) > - [Hampton Inn Atlanta-Mall Of Georgia](https://www.expedia.ca/Gainesville-Hotels-Hampton-Inn-Atlanta-Mall-Of-Georgia.h424885.Hotel-Information) > - [Forrest Hills Mountain Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Helen-Hotels-Forrest-Hills-Mountain-Resort.h11593881.Hotel-Information) > - [LikeHome Extended Stay Hotel Warner Robins](https://www.expedia.ca/Macon-Hotels-Value-Stay-Extended-Stay-Hotel.h20058.Hotel-Information)
