Loved the fire pit by the water. My granddaughter (5) loves the dress up clothes and accessories. The host was very kind and informative. Directions for our stay were clear.

First time to Elijay

Our family has always been a beach family for vacations. We tried out Elijay for the first time this year. The cabin is beautiful and steps away from the river. The owner has put a lot of effort into ensuring guests have a great time while staying at their cabin. I have had multiple friends ask me for the property information just from seeing photographs I posted on social media of our vacation. Very peaceful location. We can’t wait to go back.

We loved the drive up to the cabin with all the hills and hairpin turns as we don’t experience that in Florida. The river was beautiful as was the cabin. Relaxing in the hot tub was one of our favorite pastimes and all amenities were close. Betsey was super easy to communicate with and we’ll definitely be back.
