My husband and I, our two small dogs stayed at Gunsmoke Cabin as a last minute booking. The cabin was perfect, meeting all of our needs. The cabin was stocked with all the extras in case you forget something - even floss piks! The king size bed was super comfy. Loved the decor. The fenced back yard was convenient for the pups. The owner was pleasant and responded to our questions in a timely manner. Close to several hiking trails. A perfect spot to relax and enjoy nature. We will stay here again.

Secluded getaway

Amazing host and property! Loved our stay at Gunsmoke. We used it as a landing spot to travel all over northern Georgia. Honestly would have loved to spend more time relaxing in this beautiful little cabin. Would recommend an AWD vehicle to get up the steep, gravel road to the property.

We enjoyed our stay at the Gunsmoke cabin! We brought along our two dogs so the fenced in back yard was a game changer. The cabin was clean and everything was fully stocked with anything we would need. Neighbors are pretty far and the property is surrounded by lots of trees, so very private. Host is very friendly and responds super fast! Lots of outside motion lighting, which is great because it gets super dark out there. It is on a dirt road but it’s not too rough for the average car and it’s nice there is a functioning gate at the front of the community. I would recommend this place to anyone and if we ever return to Ellijay, we will be back!

It was the perfect cabin for our return to Ellijay. Cabin is secluded so you won’t see neighbors, giant bed is cozy and perfect for after a long day of hiking up mountains. Was also perfect for our dogs.

The cabin was easy to find with gps and easy to get up to in our Corolla. We both loved the view of the beautiful starry sky while relaxing in the hot tub. We had all the amenities we needed and no issues. Activities we did during our stay were chess, cards, horseshoes, hiking, horseback riding, and zip lining. There is a Dollar General less than a mile away, which was really convenient for snacks and drinks. It's pretty secluded, and we loved the privacy. We brought our dog and she enjoyed it, too. The fenced in backyard was great and they even had dog treats which I completely forgot to bring! We grilled steaks on our last night and enjoyed the fire pit. All in all, it was a great trip and we look forward to going again.

About the host

Hosted by Jill LaRoche

Host profile image
My husband and are super passionate about traveling and being hosts to our properties. It's as important to us that you enjoy our place as much as we do! We have rentals in Ellijay, Bullhead City Arizona and Lake Havasu Az. along with San Felipe Baja California on the Sea of Cortez.. Please see our listings and hopefully we can host you at our other places too!

Why they chose this property

Ellijay is the little slower, little quieter then most towns. You have more chance to see everything here then getting consumed in a big city.
Why not Ellijay, it's amazing here!
We fell in love with this sweet little cabin at first sight. I love that it's tiny but so roomy at the same time. We feel so relaxed and comfortable here.

What makes this property unique

So much room to run around in the open property.. Place a game of horseshoes, badminton or just sit by the fire & knowing our dogs are safe in the fenced back yard is a huge bonus!.. You feel so far away from everything yet only 15 minutes from town.
