Being on the pond was great for fishing. We caught bass, catfish and bream. The pool, walking trails and creek were all within the resort. The location is perfect for short day trips to Ellijay or Blueridge lake for a rental boat. We will definitely return.... perfect retreat!! ##### Blake V.

It was peaceful and quiet, lots of nature all around. We saw deer every day, and sometimes at night. The cabin itself is beautiful, had everything you could reasonably need, and offered us the perfect mountain getaway. We would absolutely recommend and would love to return. munication ##### Melanie H. Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Francine G.
