A very beautiful home, convenient to Ellijay, Dahlonega, local wineries. My family of 4 stayed for a week. Needed some ice ( no ice maker and only 1 tray) and had to buy cookie sheet and roasting pan to cook Christmas dinner.But the beds are comfortable and everything is just as the pictures show.The owner/manager is very responsive and helpful.Highly recommended!
This is the perfect place for relaxing, or close enough to shopping. The roads leading in are filled with Apple Orchards, U-pick farms, and restaurants. The cabin is at the end of the road, with a pond right behind. Deers were constant vistors. This is definitely a great place to stay, and we plan to go again. Thank you Joe for your help with directions.
House was clean and as described. Nice remote area but 20minutes from anything you’d need. No luck with fishing but theres fish in the pond. Nice cabin getaway. Would stay again.
Inside is exactly as pictured in the listing. Place was clean. The location is remote. Very remote. A dog chased the car while driving into the lane past the trailer houses and junk yard houses on the way. Driveway is on a side of a mountain so best to drive it in daylight first. Barely enough room to turn the car around so as to drive out. The cabin was surprisingly dark and the master bathroom was very dark. Only bathroom on the bottom floor is in the master so not convenient for family members in other rooms. The game room was cute. Communication from owners was harsh before we got on the property. Probably wouldn’t stay here again but we needed a place for one night for a wedding in the area. The towels offered were mismatched and the beds were very springy not too comfortable.

Thank you for your feedback. I’m glad to hear you found the home clean and accurately represented in the listing!
Regarding the location, it is clearly noted in the listing that the property is in a more secluded, rural setting, which many guests specifically seek out for privacy and a peaceful environment. That said, we understand that this may not be the right fit for everyone.
As for the driveway and surrounding area, these are also consistent with the natural terrain of the location. We always recommend arriving during daylight hours when possible for first-time visits, as noted in our pre-arrival instructions.
I’m sorry to hear the lighting and layout did not meet your expectations. The photos in the listing accurately - All lights are on dimmers, it’s my understanding that the lights were not used properly and not turned all the way up- the house has tons of lighting throughout.
In terms of communication, we have amazing property managers and I am surprised to hear you thought anything from them was ‘harsh’. Our team works very hard to assist, kindly- always!
We appreciate your comments regarding the towels and bedding and will review those items with our team to ensure everything meets our standards.
Wishing you safe travels, and we appreciate you choosing to stay with us.
Wonderful place to stay ,quiet , peaceful and just what was expected but the pictures, my kids loved the two swings upstairs and the game room ,,house was clean and inviting and the lake was beautiful thank you for sharing your home with us
We had a lovely stay at this cabin in Ellijay! The property is very clean and well appointed. We were in town for a wedding and the location was perfect for our activities. The owner was so accessible and friendly. Overall, it was a great place to stay.
We stayed one night only. Very clean. Beds were very comfortable. It was a very quaint and quiet place to relax. We did see 2 deer that we were excited about. Would love to stay there again.
Location was "The Tops" for sightseeing, hiking, wineries and orchards. A little difficult to find, but short distance back to highway. Would stay here again.
Enjoyed our stay! Nice place! Don't recommend a small car to get there.

We had a wonderful time, as we were in town for a wedding. The home was a very spacious place.... this was a great stay very cute home!!
The host is very accommodating... even at one point one of the neighbors came out and spoke to me! Very nice stay! Definitely would recommend!!
This house is stunning inside! There is plenty of room for a family to spread out and be comfortable. The wrap around deck is perfect for morning coffee and the wildlife (especially the birds) are amazing to watch. The hosts were easily accessible and checked in on us on Saturday morning. You are within 15 to 20 minutes of anything you could want to do in Elijay and Blue Ridge is also a very reasonable drive away. We had so much fun and the accommodations were super nice. We would love to come stay again.
