Perfect Relaxing Getaway

This cabin is exactly as mentioned and more! The design was perfect! The back porch and firepit areas were private and relaxing. So pleasant to watch the deer every morning and evening. The details of every room were impressive. Eddie answered all my questions quickly and made our stay everything we wanted. The beds were very comfortable. We highly recommend this property.

Glad to hear you had a blast and made some wonderful memories while you were here. We hope you got to kick back, relax, and soak up all the nature vibes—because let’s be real, our cabin’s the ultimate spot to ditch the daily grind and just breathe. Would love to have you back for round two whenever you’re ready! Best, Eddie

The host was friendly, and the cabin is very nice. Unfortunately, we experienced issues with cleanliness, and several flies. The host was kind enough to return our cleaning fee, and I got the impression that the company responsible for cleaning did not meet the host's expectations. I believe our experience was atypical, however, this review reflects our experience. Overall, we would be willing to try this location again.

Beautiful cabin

We truly enjoyed our stay in this cabin. It offered the perfect blend of rustic feel with modern amenities. Everything you need is provided. The fireplace came in very handy during the cold evenings and it was very cozy. This was our 8th cabin we stayed in during the past couple of years and it certainly ranks among the top for us. The landlord is also an excellent communicator.Hope to be back some day.

Lovely!

My husband I thoroughly enjoyed staying at this property. Everything was as seen in the listing. We found ourselves going back to the house throughout the day to just sit and enjoy the beautiful surroundings. Very clean, decorated nicely, easy to find, safe, and just PEACEFUL! One of the best VRBO experiences ever!

Girls Trip!

This cabin was wonderful. Layout was perfect for 4 old friends to reunite. Well equipped with everything we needed. Off the beaten path for secluded cabin feel but close enough to town to access restaurants and cute boutiques. Fire pit was relaxing, great memories were made! Thank you Eddie for all your quick responses! Hope to rent from you again soon.

My husband and I have been coming to the North Georgia mountains for many years. This was probably the best cabin we have ever stayed at. It was beautifully decorated, well stocked and very clean. We had deer in the front and back yard every day. What a delightful experience watching them. The firepit outside was awesome. 3-4 steps to the front porch and 3 steps to the back yard. Huge cemented driveway with plenty of room to turn around. Paved roads to and from the cabin. We had everything we needed. We will definitely return. Excellent communication with the owner Eddie. We had a slight issue with the smoke detector alarm. Eddie sent Robert within 30 min of contacting him and Robert fixed it. Highly recommend!!

Modern rustic cabin in Ellijay

This modern rustic cabin is stunning. The owners thought of everything to make your getaway relaxing and memorable. A beautiful, setting enjoying the North Georgia mountains, changing of the leaves, hiking and water falls. Close proximity to quaint downtown Ellijay and Blue Ridge. And ending the day enjoying the fire pit and deer walking through the wooded back yard. We will definitely return. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

Refreshed & Renewed

This is a lovely property. We live in a bustling, busy, & crowded metropolitan city. My husband and I were looking for a relaxing new years get away, where our 2 daughters and ourselves could become fully enveloped in nature. This cabin was perfect for our new years wish list. The property was built in April of 2023, and includes amenities such as internet, a washer/dryer, dishwasher, gas fireplace, gas BBQ, and outdoor firepit for six people. While conveying the warmth of a cozy log cabin, in a serene neighborhood, where you are greeted by dear in the morning and evening. It was just what our family needed to enjoy each other's company and make new memories. A minutes care ride from downtown Ellijay's restaurants and shops, as well as numerous vineyards.

We were thrilled to have Tamara and her family stay at our cabin and we couldn't have asked for a better guest. From the moment she arrived, it was clear that she was going to take great care of our property. She was meticulous about cleaning up after herself and made sure to leave the cabin in the same condition pristine condition as when she arrived. But what really stood out was Tamara's friendly and responsive communication. She was always quick to reply to our messages and had a warm and welcoming demeanor. It was a pleasure to host her and we felt like we were able to connect with her on a personal level. Tamara is an excellent representative of Vrbo's community and we would be delighted to welcome her back to our cabin anytime. We highly recommend her to any host looking for a respectful, considerate, and responsible guest. Thank you, Tamara, for being such a wonderful guest! - Eddie

Had an amazing time, absolutely beautiful, relaxing and breathtaking. It was clean and I'm a stickler and it had everything I would have needed had I cooked. My family are all from there (Cherokee, Scottish and Irish), been there forever so I'm use to those roads, try them back in 1968, I was three I remember. I love the memories now, the roads still get me after dark. We had deer every morning, my husband was in awe, watching them made us late for breakfast a couple times. Thank you, my blood pressure went way down. Defiantly coming back, just may be what we need before all the holiday stuff starts every year.

Great Getaway!

The first view of the cabin is wonderful. There is ample parking for more than one vehicle. The front porch is inviting and entry is a breeze. Two large bedrooms on opposite sides of the cabin. Each has its own private bathroom. The main room is cozy with a gas fireplace, then an oversized island for gathering and chatting while prepping meals in the kitchen. All appliances are modern. Full laundry. Through the kitchen is the entry to the back porch. Equally inviting with a table for eating outside, a gas grill for cooking. Then you make it to the firepit! Awesome. Surrounded by Adirondack chairs. There are two bucks, a prong horn, and a 6-point that are in the company of about 8 does that frequent the property to nibble on the freshly seeded lawn. Awesome and relaxing getaway. Thank you for sharing your home with us!!
