About the host
Hosted by Mountaintown Retreat

There's so much to do at our riverside retreat. Downtown Ellijay is 12 minutes away and Blue Ridge is 20-30 minutes. You will surely enjoy the quaint antique shops in Ellijay and some great locally owned restaurants and breweries. And if wine is your “thing”, we have several awarding winning wineries to choose from in our amazing little mountain town. Ellijay hosts the Apple Festival every year in October. We have many local orchards and farms that offer fun things to do (especially for kids) and wonderfully unique opportunities for local ware and fare. And if that isn't enough, just south of Ellijay is Carter's Lake and Amicalola Falls. You can rent a boat at the marina at Carter's Lake or Lake Blue Ridge. Horseback riding, whitewater rafting, hiking and mountain biking are also available nearby. This is a great source for all that Ellijay has to offer: https://www.gilmerchamber.com/
Why they chose this property
We think you will find everything you need to create wonderful memories in this truly unique cabin. With views of the river from nearly every room, and two stacked stone wood burning fireplaces, it is easy to relax. The cabin is located on private road nestled in the woods. Fishing, tubing and wading are just steps away. And if you visit us in the colder months, we have abundant wildlife (deer are plentiful year round on your way and at the cabin, bear, mink, fox and so much more). We also have a firepit, outdoor fireplace, indoor fireplace (wood provided October-March) and hot tub to enjoy when the weather is crisp. The changing of the leaves is quite nice Sept - November (depending on the year of course)
What makes this property unique
This cabin is equipped with everything you need and more. We continually hear from our guests how they bring things they never need because we provide it for them. We have added extra touches and essentials that other vacation rentals just don't offer to their guests. We want you to have everything you need and even things you don't need but will enjoy. We want to provide you with the perfect environment to relax with love ones and friends so you can create wonderful memories rather than spending time at the store having to pick up numerous incidentals yourself.
There are 4 spacious bedrooms with French doors leading directly to either the terrace, the porch or the balcony and all of them have views of the river. Our cabin is NOT the place for parties of any kind. We welcome families and mature guests.
Mountaintown River Retreat is uniquely suited for adults and kids. There is a special place for everyone. The loft caters to adults with a dry bar & large screen tv. While the game room area is designed for kids with an air hockey table, large screen tv, dvd player, 300+ movies, PS3 (and games), board games, puzzles, books, toys and more are provided.
There are multiple outdoor spaces to enjoy as well and all of them with river view. There are several porches, balconies, outdoor swings, hammock, fire pit, hot tub and a variety of outdoor dining options.
There are many attributes setting our cabin apart from others and it's been creatively and thoughtfully appointed to promote quality time and to simply unplug. WiFi & cell service isn't ideal in this mountain setting.
*PLEASE NOTE* This property is equipped with EXTERIOR security cameras and a live feed. It's monitored periodically to ensure the NUMBER OF GUESTS, NO PET & NO PARTIES policies are being adhered to.
