This place was perfect for our family for a long getaway weekend in the mountains. The creek was so peaceful, I walked in the park each day, and it was close enough to town to be very convenient but still felt very secluded. Clean, spacious, a great find

This was the cutest place to stay! Comfy furniture on a huge deck and patio that looks directly over the river. Well appointed and spacious, your group will feel connected without being crowded. Place feels like it’s in the country, all while in walking distance to town and a cute community park. Great communication from the host made a seamless stay!

Relaxed on the River

This place was Perfect! Very roomy and clean. Beds were comfortable. Our family spent a lot of time on the back porch enjoying the peacefulness of the river. The hot tub was ideal after a long hiking day! The location of this place is great - just a short walk to downtown. Would definitely stay here again!

We loved our stay here. Michael was very easy to communicate with. Fantastic location — super close to downtown Ellijay, and an easy drive into Blue Ridge and other areas to hike, explore, apple pick, etc. Easily fit our family of four plus my parents (we had an extra unused bedroom). The hot tub was large and clean and had lovely views overlooking the ellijay river. The one negative is they need a new grill, or at least new grates, but it was easy enough to cook in the kitchen instead. We will stay here again!

Yes comfortable...although there were several items that were needing repairs...microwave door fell off, sliding door in bedroom bathroom came off rollers and glass shower doors leaked. But this did not interfer with our stay. We were visiting for a wedding and cabin suited us perfectly. Also, we requested a late check out which was much needed!

Beautiful secluded property. Fish right from the yard. We stayed 4 nights over the 4th of July and had a wonderful time. We even were next door to the fireworks display. Walkable to downtown Ellijay and an easy 20 minute drive to Blue Ridge too. There are many shops and restaurants in the area to try.

Adorable cabin & great location!

This cabin was adorable and perfect for our family. We had 2 teen boys with us and they loved hanging out in the guest house. The covered deck right by the river was super relaxing. We saw several deer outside and did some fishing. The kitchen had everything we needed. The location was super close to downtown Ellijay with lots of cute shops and restaurants. We didn’t want to leave! We’d definitely stay here again.
