Mountain Memories

Unfortunate initial introduction- extremely rude gate guard. Local deer population greeted us along the narrow mountain road! Navigating the driveway was a thrill! The house was more than expected! Welcoming, beautifully decorated, wonderfully stocked kitchen. All ages of our family enjoyed it immensely!

Sweetest Host Ever!

Our Christmas gift to our grown children and grandchildren was renting this cabin in Ellijay. We had 9 Adults and 10 kids (ages newborn to 10) and had a fabulous time. The cabin is beautiful. The extras (toys, dishes, firewood, etc.) were incredible. The fireplace on the porch with a view of the river was amazing!

Amazing place with a great view

We stayed a few days to get a short break away from home. The cabin was great and had everything we needed. The private balcony deck had a nice view of the river. The kids loved the game room and the swing. The kitchen was plenty for making a few meals. We can't wait to come back sometime during the summer and go out tubing on the river.

Beautiful Home and Views

We had a great stay with family and enjoyed this cabin very much. We enjoyed seeing all of the deer in the area and listening to the water streaming down the river during the day, especially during our morning coffee. The outside fire place was perfect for us to roast smores and keep us cozy while grilling out for my sons birthday!! We would definitely come back!!

Family adventures

The whole family absolutely loved our time spent on property. The cabin had everything we needed to make great memories. Seeing the deer throughout the community made the drive up the mountains road worth it for this Florida family. Hummingbirds visited every morning while enjoying our coffee on the balcony. Couldn’t ask for anything more, except to stay longer.

FINALLY family time!

We had a great time at this property. We were able to relax and enjoy each other's company. Finally, a time that we could all get together to reflect on things happening in our lives. The Covid had us not being able to come together, but finally a beautiful place to relax and enjoy what God has given us.

This cabin is gorgeous!

There was plenty of room for 6 adults and 4 children. We cooked dinner in every evening and the kitchen was equipped with everything we needed. The kids really enjoyed the swing and the game room! The cabin is close to hiking, kayaking and numerous other activities. The owner was very responsive and checking in and out was a breeze. I highly recommend this cabin if you are looking for a quiet peaceful place to getaway!

Wonderful Experience!

We found this home to be everything it is advertised and more. The home is beautiful in every detail and the location although a little ways off the beaten path is very peaceful and relaxing. We spent our days hiking and exploring some of the State Parks located close by. Retuning at the end of the day was like coming home! The owners (Debra) are very pleasant and eager to assist with any questions we had about the home and offered many suggestions on places to go.

Our stay

We had understood that tubing would be accessible from the cabin.We found tubes but they was very dirty and we was unable to locate a place to access the river and a take out place. The cabin was clean on the inside but the porch really needs to be cleaned.The steps going in is very slippery when wet.

Hub for our mountain bike adventure

The overall experience was great. Neighborhood is quiet and well kept. We were a party of 12 adults. We used this house as a hub to check out local mountain bike trails while others in our party checked out wineries, shopped, and hiked. The only critique is the driveway. The pictures don’t do justice to the incline and lack of space for multiple vehicles. The host was excellent at communicating and making sure our needs were met.

Everything we could have wanted!

We have traveled a good bit, renting properties all around the US and this has by far been the best experience we have had! If you are considering multiple properties- GO with this one! You will not be disappointed. There was not one thing we could have wanted differently. The location, the property, the house, everything! The kitchen and bathrooms were very well stocked. Debra was so easy to get in touch with, and had great suggestions for things to do in the area. Book this property and you will be so thankful!

Home Away From Home

This property was a home away from home for myself and my extended family for our Thanksgiving vacation. After familiarizing ourselves with the ins and outs of everything we settled in and felt right at home. There were 10 of us ranging in age from 9 to 75 and the cabin had plenty of room for us to feel comfortable for the week. The neighborhood was secluded and quiet and offered tranquility and nature. The kitchen is very well equipped with everything (and more) that we needed for cooking twice a day and Thanksgiving. The fireplace on the porch and the hot tub were two amazing features! Being from Florida we needed time and practice adjusting to the one lane road and steep driveway but they were not deterrents to us having the best week ever. The owners were very responsive and great hosts. We would love to stay again in the future!

Perfect for Families

This home was by far, the best "stocked" rental property we have stayed at! The kids had a ton of games to choose from and the kitchen had a ton of items that we didn't need to buy from the store in order to cook. The property was beautiful! The owner did warn me closer to my arrival date about the steep driveway. It was a booger to get my big SUV in and out of. The home is also located on a one lane dirt road. I wish I had known that prior to booking. Arriving at night wasn't the best choice!
