About this property
The Woods At Whitetail Ridge- 2 fireplaces-
Summary: Escape the hustle and breathe at Whitetail Ridge Cabin. Take your mountain adventure to the next level surrounded by whispering trees, squirrels, bears, deer and melodic bird songs. Enjoy cider or hot chocolate as you listen to the tapping rain on the metal roof. Cozy fireplaces, both inside and out on the deck, allow for memories made, belly laughs heard and connections felt. Fully stocked except for food. A short, bumpy gravel road drive leads to your hideaway. Apprx 8 miles to town.
The Space: Tucked away on Double Knob Mountain, Whitetail Ridge awaits. Open concept to recently updated living, dining, and kitchen area. Lots of windows create an atmosphere that nearly transports you to a forest world. Cuddle up on the couch in front of the easy-to-use gas fireplace. Then take a deep breath and release your stress as you settle into one of our comfy rooms equipped with Roku tvs. There are 2 bedrooms. One with a queen memory foam hybrid bed and private access to the patio from a glass door.... no waking the kiddos in the morning. Lots of space for your items in the dresser and closet. The second bedroom is a fun forest themed room that has twin sized bunkbeds with an extra trundle pull out bed. The bed has drawers for items. The closet in the room will be locked as it is our supply space. There is a shared bathroom with tub for bath time. Feel free to use the washer/dryer should you need to. Relaxation envelops as you rock in the chairs in front of the outdoor fireplace under a covered deck or gazing into the canopy of forest trees while listening to the birds chirp and leaves drift to the ground. Help yourself to the firewood under the cabin IF available, though it runs out quickly during season. To be sure, please bring your own wood. Local home improvement stores are always stocked. This place is truly magical for a romantic couple’s getaway or small family retreat. We’d love to host you while you create life-long memories.
Guest Access: Whole cabin access except for owner’s closet in second bedroom which will stay locked.
The Neighborhood: Nestled in the cozy tree canopies of Double Knob Mountain just minutes from downtown Ellijay. Wide dirt and gravel road access...a little bumpy but worth the 1.5 mile drive!

Nice little cabin for a couples getaway. Owner is very attentive to our needs. Quiet place. Very comfortable bed, some of the best sleep I’ve had in a while. Ellijay is a lovely quaint little town, we spent all day walking around downtown going to the little locally owned shops. We had an awesome time, thank you David and Reesa
Everything was great! The cabin was in a nice, secluded location in the mountains, and it was only 15 to 20 minutes away from the city. Would definitely recommend this cabin to others.
the road to approach is dirt/gravel so be aware. cute little cosy cabin. the outdoor fireplace is the best. everything was super clean and comfy. best stocked kitchen in a while. indoor gas fireplace did not work but host gave a small reimbursement so that was ok. linens were nice and everything was provided. not really a quiet place as there was a local barking dog and a bulldozer and a close neighbor, but, we enjoyed ourselves.
The cabin was nicely appointed and clean. Very cozy for nice getaway. Outdoor fireplace was very relaxing, and we spent hours just hanging out in front of it. We would definitely return if returning to this area.
Very nice cabin equipped with everything you need. We had a great stay!

Very nice and clean cabin with friendly easy to communicate with owners! Would stay here again! Very much enjoyed my stay at The Woods at Whitetail Ridge.
We were attending a wedding in the area and wanted a nice little cabin instead of the generic in town hotel. Great little place with everything you need.
This was a great place to stay and just get away from everything for a bit. The cabin is perfect for a couple that just wants to be a little lazy. Would definitely stay again.
Nice romantic and fully equipped cabin. Everything you need is available in the cabin. Enjoyed sitting on the porch each morning and evening before our hikes. The small towns were quaint and enjoyable. Great communication with the hosts. Would definitely come back. Stayed 5 days.
Nice modern log type house deep in the woods. We hit the Fall Colors spot on. Road in is about 2 miles in on a gravel road. No problem for our mini-van. It your looking for solitude this is the place!
