Our grandson spent many hours in the creek living his best life. Owners were very responsive. On your drive to the cabin, stop at the neighborhood stands for firewood, eggs and blueberries. Enjoyed the nearby hiking trails and wildlife by day and the fire pit in the evening. ##### Rhonda P. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Karen J.

We rent average of 4 x a year and by far this cabin had everything we needed and more. I am a clean nut and was impressed how clean this home was. There wasn't a thing I needed to run out and get as this cabin had it all. It was 11 miles to downtown and 10 miles to the log home we are in the process of building. First trip into the area a little off the road but easy to find. On Waze so we got there no problem. You will not regret staying here. The home was so comfortable as we are 67 and 68 and everything on 1st floor so worked out great. The water babbling was great to sit outside and enjoy. I even loved the rooster next store, he was more of a guard dog then a rooster. LOL.. We will stay again as this home was CLEAN, well equipped and loved decor. ( I want that chandelier and will replace with another antler one). Don't walk, run for this one. ##### Karen J.

The creek was nice and the kids had fun. The beds were comfortable and everything looked like it was well taken care of for the most part. We spent most of our time in town, however. We didnt realize it was a 25 minute drive from town. Great for some but we wanted to be closer. There was no xbox, the upstairs bedroom tv didnt work, the dishawahser had dirty dishes upon arrival, and the view of the neighbors junky yard wasn't great. The house smelled strongly of smoke from the fireplace. Most of this is only a minor annoyance and only mentioned because it was unexpected. ##### RoU70PCxYWk0unhY4IPiKRUA3qOdM7ixggHAM2Uh3ZrmqRQnxvvYdInEAAAAcDBuBgkqhkiG9w0BBwagYTBfAgEAMFoGCSqGSIb3 U.

Though there were other cabins nearby, it still gave a sense of seclusion. If you don't like farm animal sounds, this may not be the place for you. That was actually a highlight for us. We really enjoyed our stay. If there is one area I would mention for improvement, it's the cookware. It was in pretty bad shape, but that certainly wouldn't stop us from staying there again. ##### George G. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### barbara j.

A small creek runs through it and was nice to sit by and have our coffee in the morning. We did see a bear by the side of the road....that was exciting. Used the hot tub a couple of times. That is always relaxing. The owners kept in touch to see if we needed anything but we didnt. There were roosters and goat next door but you got used to them. Its a nice place outside of Ellijay about 20min. ##### barbara j. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### SHELIA B.

The furniture was not cheap, as you find in some cabins. The beds were extremely comfortable, and the bedrooms were large and had plenty of storage space. The hosts were very responsive and gracious. The only (small) issue I had was that when I was booking, for some reason the location was explained as within walking distance to the town of Ellijay. In hind-sight however, the actual location was beautiful and secluded and probably worked out for the best. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it. ##### Grant C.

Beds were comfy, all the amenities available, great WiFi, and plenty of outdoor spaces. The town of Ellijay is adorable and hiking in the area is wonderful with some amazing waterfalls and views. ##### Lisa B. Stayed 5 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Loretta C.

Close enough to Ellijay proper and Blue Ridge for all the restaurants and hiking. The cabin was stocked with everything you could need. We made use of the hot tub every day after returning from our hike. Cabin is pet friendly but you wouldn’t know that except for the leashes by the door. Definitely recommend. ##### Loretta C.
