Property looks brand new and was clean, well stocked with everything we needed and even decorated for Christmas! Plenty of hikes available in easy driving distance, grocery store not too far away, and close to Ellijay where we had a breakfast together and shopped in the beautiful town one morning. Also we stayed on property several days of our trip just to fish in the creek (my oldest son caught a couple fish each day) and spend time together. My middle son enjoyed all the games especially in the game room. My youngest loved exploring around the grounds and using his imagination for all sorts of adventures outside.

S’mores at the amazing fire pit and a dip in the hot tub closed out the fun filled days. The birthday boy said “this was the best birthday ever!” Martha is a wonderfully helpful and kind host.

There was plenty of space and it has all you need to keep the kids occupied. Having the separate cabin/game room was great to send the kids to when the adults needed a break. The new fire pit area was great. Hot tub is always a nice addition and the fact that it is under a covered deck was perfect to sit in while it rained. The best part was the location right on the creek. You could walk right down to the creek without having to deal with hundreds of steps to go down and back up. If you are bringing kids, waders are an absolute must have. The kids absolutely loved being able to walk up and down the creek in the water. Martha was a pleasure to work with. She was always very responsive and helped us with anything we needed. I’d highly recommend this place and would love to come back in the future. ##### Justin M.

It was everything advertised and more. Martha was so sweet and even left us a card and donuts for our stay. We had 8 adults and we had plenty of room. Our favorite part was the screened porch and the swing right by the creek to relax before the day got busy. The extra room in the game room area was very nice and have every one plenty of room and privacy. The cabin is as immaculate. We didn’t have time to use the hot tub, but plan to return soon to just relax and enjoy the cabin and creek. ##### Vanessa S. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Liz T. Jul 5, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful and perfectly appointed cabin We loved the cabin, the beautiful property and the owner was super sweet and helpful. We had absolutely everything we could have needed to keep our young family entertained - our kids were completely in love and stayed occupied playing outside, catching tadpoles, picking blackberries, and playing in nature the whole trip! The creek access is absolutely ideal for young children - gradual entry, no steep bank or big rocks to navigate. The only note is that the wi-fi signal was not ample for us to do work or take work calls, so if that is on your agenda as it was ours for part of our stay, plan accordingly! The town of Blue Ridge is very cute, as was Ellijay. Both are about 30 mins away. ##### Liz T. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Hannah A.

It is a wonderful property with great access to a creek right in the backyard! The property is well tended and the cleanest rental we’ve stayed at. The beds and linens were extremely comfortable. Kitchen appliances and dishes were in pristine condition, which really helped you feel at home. The owner, Martha, is available if you have any questions, and she even greeted us with warm fresh banana bread after our first night. The kids were never bored! There were several family board games, outside games such as foosball and corn hole, and a hot tub! I enjoyed reading a book on a wooden swing down by the creek. We spent each afternoon by the fire pit, enjoying s’mores. It was secluded, yet accessible (25 minutes to Blue Ridge). We look forward to coming back for a longer stay! ##### Hannah A.

Oh did we get lucky. We had the most beautiful cabin, with the best hospitality. Our host/manager was thoughtful and caring. She made us feel right at home. Our cabin came equipped with absolutely everything a family would need. There were so many indoor/outdoor activities/games we only left the cabin to do grocery shopping. It gave us the opportunity to bond with our family especially our teen children. We came back home recharged, closer than ever and a bit nostalgic of our time spent at the cabin. It was absolutely everything my family needed. We are looking forward to our next stay at our home away from home. ##### PETER S. Stayed 8 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lisa D.

Myself, husband, his parents, my 14 year and my 27 year old and wife along with my 1 year old grandbaby. We had plenty of room, the water steps from the house was clear and cool. The guys loved fishing and we just all had a good time hanging out with each other. The old bridge that you can use to drive across to the property was a great background for pictures. The game room was like an extra cabin for my son and his family to sleep in. I can just go on and on. I would recommend anyone looking for a place to stay to choose here, you would not be disappointed. The owner Martha went above and beyond helping and making sure we had everything we needed. She even stopped by at check in to make sure we were able to get in the cabin early and stopped by at check out to make sure our stay was great. Thanks again Martha you are the best and sweetest person I have dealt with using VRBO. Lisa Dover and Family ##### Lisa D. Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nathan S.

The location couldn’t be more perfect—conveniently situated between Ellijay and Blue Ridge, yet tucked away just enough to provide a serene and peaceful retreat. The newly added firepit is an absolute highlight, perfect for cozy evenings under the stars. The cabin itself is spotless, thoughtfully organized with clear labels on everything (a small but incredibly helpful touch), and exceptionally comfortable.What truly sets this experience apart, though, is Martha. Having stayed in numerous short-term rentals, I can confidently say she is unmatched. Her communication was prompt and attentive, and she went above and beyond to ensure my boys and I had everything we needed for an unforgettable stay. She even showed a genuine interest in making sure we had a fantastic experience.I can’t recommend Castaway enough and am already looking forward to returning! ##### Nathan S.

The cabin had everything you would need. Martha was so kind and attentive if you had any questions or needed anything. My husband said that this was the best birthday ever and was so happy I found this cabin and location. We look forward to our next trip to Castaways. Vera F. ##### Vera F.

We chose this property for our mom’s 80th birthday celebration because she loves to trout fish and this offered a very gentle walk to the waters edge and had only two steps into the main level featuring full bedrooms and bath on main. The host, Martha, was an absolute pleasure to work with and left no stone unturned when it came to both decorating and provisioning the property. Everything was perfect and we’ll definitely return!! ##### Debbie G.
