We had a great stay! The cabin was in a nice area and we felt safe. Very clean and comfortable. The last part of the road to the cabin was a little steep but was paved and manageable for sure!
The day we arrived there were 2 bags of smelly garbage in the kitchen...We found out where the dumpsters were located and took it there.Overall we enjoyed our trip.
We had a perfect weekend away from the city. We enjoyed sitting on the deck with our coffee and watching the deer each day. Quick ride into town for restaurants and shopping, Great hosts!
Very charming cabin in a quiet mountain neighborhood. We loved the nearby trail, the hot tub, the fire place, and the well-appointed kitchen. Comfy beds and plenty of clean linens. All the comforts of home.

Thanks for the amazing review! You are welcome back anytime!!
The cabin was just as it was depicted in the photos and the host. Damon provided all the information that we need to get into the cabin smoothly and quickly. We had a great time at the cabin. I would highly recommend this cabin. It was only two of us and it was plenty of room. Another advantage is the gated communityit was a smooth drive up to the cabin and just moments away from Ellijay. thank you again, Damon for allowing us the pleasure of staying in your cabin.
The cabin was the perfect peaceful escape, yet still conveniently close to great restaurants and activities. We especially loved relaxing in the hot tub while watching deer and wild turkeys wander by.
I can't comment on the cabin itself but the owner was very responsive. A few days before the visit the heat broke. Fortunate for us he was able to move us next door. He was very communicative multiple times throughout the few days. I would select this property again.

Thank you for the kind review. We’re glad we could quickly relocate you and keep everything smooth. We truly appreciate your flexibility and would love to host you again at any of our properties!
We loved staying here! It was clean, well-stocked with anything we needed, and was close to everything! We hiked the small trail to the Falls, and my husband enjoyed fishing around the ponds on property. Brandon helped quickly and efficiently with a small snafu at check-in, and we appreciated that! We hope to stay again!!!

The property was excellent. We had a very relaxing time. We were delayed checking in as the cleaner was still there but she was thorough. Relaxing in the hot tub as deer went by was wonderful. A great home and location.

A perfect location and quaint cabin with beautiful wood floors and so much natural light with a nice view of the woods. Heated bathroom floors, a comfortable bed, and an easy-to-use fireplace were all nice perks. Easy communication with owner when we had an issue. We really enjoyed our stay!
