A Delightful Cabin on the Cartecay River

Things we liked: Great directions; Gated community, cabin at end of the road and private yet easy to locate;obviously well built and pleasing modern design; location convenient to Ellijay, Blue Ridge, Amicalola Falls State Park, Dalonaga. Very comfortable bedrooms and inside is very quiet. Downstair games, pool table and hot tub nice touch. Things we were found lacking:kitchen needs a few more amenities such as large cooking pot, blender, pyrex cook wear, Downstairs could certainly use a bathroom and perhaps a refrigerator/cooler.Things that we were dissapointed with:Cabin is in a beautiful setting along the river but unfortunately the road noise from Hwy 52 is unescapable when you are outside. You simply are not going to get that peaceful "babbling brook" vibe if that is what you are looking for; some added amenities nice had they not been a safety hazard. Outdoor swing which fell out of the ceiling when my friend was in it and the cow skin throw underneath the coffee table which was a real trip hazard for all four of us (management was notified about the swing and I am sure they are going to get it fixed ASAP. My friend wound up with a nasty bruise on his thumb where the retaining bolt him and a very sore bum but this could have been allot more serious! Considering the quality of the overall cabin construction, the improper mounting of the swing was certainly unexpected.) The smart tv automatically logging off based on the wrong check out date.
