About this property

"The Knotty Pine" - Your perfect cabin getaway!

Welcome to the beautiful Knotty Pine in Ellijay, Georgia! When we walked into this cabin for the first time, we knew it had to be ours. Now it can be yours, and you can fall in love with the cabin just like we did! The Knotty Pine offers everything you could want for your north Georgia getaway. First and foremost, it's a true cabin, inside and out. Sometimes you see homes listed as "cabins" or "cottages," but they're really just homes in the woods. When we say cabin, we mean cabin! Don't believe us, just look at the pictures!

As soon as you step in the front door, your stress will melt away. A large living space with vaulted ceilings is just the beginning. Add in a beautiful gas fireplace and you've already got your perfect weekend retreat. A nice size kitchen with all the amenities, plus a nice family eating area (also perfect for puzzles and games!).

There is a large bedroom with a king size bed on the main floor. It includes a big walk-in closet as well as a full bath just across the hallway. The second bedroom is upstairs, with a queen size bed and an en suite bathroom.

Did we mention the beautiful loft space? No? OK, we have a BEAUTIFUL loft space that is great spot for reading or even getting a little work done at the desk. You could even bring an air mattress and sleep a couple more in that space. We have a futon up there to get you started!

Let's head outside. The Knotty Pine has a massive porch that wraps 3/4 of the way around the house. Our property is nestled in a deer sanctuary, so you will likely see plenty of bucks, does and little fawns during your stay.

Bottom line, if you're looking for a getaway, short or long, The Knotty Pine is the perfect place for you. We absolutely cannot wait for you to enjoy this property. And if you come once, we're almost positive you'll come back! See you soon!

We had a wonderful time at The Knotty Pine. The cabin is beautiful, cozy and clean. Perfect location from downtown Elijah, wineries and mountain drives. We loved the downtown area and frequented many of the local spots.Feeding the deer was incredible. We had dozens of deer around the cabin and loved every second of it.

We enjoyed our stay at Knotty Pine . The cabin was clean and the bed was very comfortable. We loved sitting on the front porch and watching the deer. This was our 3rd stay and hoping it won’t be our last . This cabin deserves a 10 rating.

The cabin was exactly as advertised. It was very clean. Bed was comfortable. The deer were everywhere! I had looked for a cabin with deer and this one absolutely delivered. They were at the cabin when we arrived and every morning and evening. The owner was really easy to contact when I had any questions. Definitely hoping to return again.

Our stay was amazing. The first thing I noticed was how clean the cabin was; the cleaning team put in extra effort to make the utilitarian cute. The host was very communicative and laid out all the details of the house in a consise email. The house itself is exactly as pictured. It feels secluded, despite being in a gated resort. We were entertained by the constant flow of deer through the yard.

The host and the site personnel were extremely easy to work with. The space was clean and cozy. There were deer outside on a consistent basis. Neighborhood was mostly quiet, though there was more traffic than we expected for the location. Turns out we were next to an intersection that led to the rec area on one side and a park on another. Convenient if you are going to use them. The space fit our needs well, was convenient to what we were there to do and was a good value.We only used the downstairs space and weren't there much so not much more to say.
