Beautiful location. Loved the porch and river view. Well stocked kitchen and bath items. Very clean. Near enough to places to eat and tour but loved the quiet woods for relaxation. The deer greeted us everyday. Highly recommend. Host was quick to respond.

This cabin was AWESOME! It was super nice and clean. It had everything we needed for a nice relaxing getaway. The porch off the living room is where i lived and breathed..there's even a nice cozy daybed out there was nice to hear the water and fall asleep. We even had a few floaters pass by on tubes. Will definitely be planning another trip soon. Thanks again for sharing your space Dan!

The cabin was beautiful! It had everything that you could need. We loved sitting out on the deck and listening to the sound of the river. My wife loved the bed swing. Now, she wants me to get one for our deck. It was nice seeing all the deer on the property and throughout the neighborhood. We would love to come back! Thanks Daniel!

The pictures on the website definitely do not do this beautiful home justice. The view of the river is spectacular. We were lucky enough to arrive while the mountain laurels were in bloom! The home is clean and has everything anyone would need in the kitchen, including extras of necessites like paper towels. The host has thought of every detail. Check in and check out is easy, and Dan was very accommodating. We would love to stay here again with our daughters!

Beautiful cabin!

Had a wonderful "mommycation" at your cabin! Very clean and had everything I needed and the special touches made me feel so welcome. Loved listening to the river from the back deck too. Can't wait to go back and bring the family!

Lori, I’m so glad you (and furbaby) had a relaxing time at the cabin. You are welcome any time. It’s amazing the relaxing power of listening to the river. During the summer, we discovered that it’s ever better to hear, watch or be a tuber and kayak that shout with excitement as you enjoy being on the river. Please, bring your family and enjoy all that the Ellijay and mountains have to offer.

We had a great stay. It was welcoming and cozy. This place is the first time I’ve slept half decent away from home. We really enjoyed the property and do plan on staying again in the near future, if possible. Thank you again for sharing your wonderful property with us.

We have stayed in several mountain cabins and this one was the best yet. Very clean nicely furnished. The couch, chairs, and beds were in very good condition. Not worn and in need of replacement like other cabins we have visited. Many additional small details and the spectacular view were icing on the cake!

Beautiful property

Very nice cabin for my visiting friends. Everything we needed was there. Great entertainment spaces, but the porch was our favorite hangout. The river was so peaceful to hear. I’ve stayed in this neighborhood before, but this has been my favorite so far. Love all the wildlife. Would stay here again for sure.

Three day stay

The property and cabin were immaculate. Short walk down to the river, deer everywhere in the community at all times of the day. Dan, the host was great. Very easy check in and out. Planning on another visit here again. Couldn’t have been nicer.

This has been an amazing week! My husband and I celebrated our 20th anniversary and spent the time listening to the river right below our cabin. Usually when we book a VRBO there is minimal kitchen ware, while the kitchen wasn't stocked like a chef kitchen would be, it was stocked enough, that we didn't want for anything.The bathrooms already had soap, shampoo and conditioner, (we did bring our own, but we used his instead) He also provided laundry detergent, which we were able to wash our clothes, and not having to wait until we get back home. The king size bed upstairs is a really firm mattress, my husband loved it. I eventually moved downstairs to one of the other beds, as it was less firm. Overall, we still loved the cabin. It is such a beautiful cabin, and we've enjoyed it so much. Thank you Dan, for letting us stay at your cabin.

Great Mountain Getaway

Thank you so much for hosting us. We loved the cabin and property. The amenities were very clean and easily accessible. The giant porch swing on the porch overlooking the river was definitely our favorite part of our stay. The wildlife is actually friendly toward people, we made a few deer friends :) We definitely recommend this place for anyone who wants a nice, quiet getaway that is a little off the beaten path.
