The cabin is beautiful and well equipped. Very clean. The owners were responsive to issues that came up during our stay. Definitely look forward to staying again if we are in the area.
My only regret is not staying longer. This place was perfect for all of us couples. The deers kept us entertained while we were outdoors. It was lovely!
An excellent house! There was a lot of space, no other houses near by. My dogs loved sniffing around in the large yard. When power went out in the neighborhood, the generator kicked on and worked for 6 hours to give us power until it was fixed! Loved that it was ready just in case. The cabin was spacious, 4 rooms and 3.5 baths with plenty of living space for us all the hang out in. The host is very nice and easy to reach, usually responding to my messages within minutes. I would definitely recommend this cabin to another group, and we will look to return next time we all get together!
Lovely house was clean and tastefully decorated. We very much enjoyed our time. Communication with the host Linda was easy and efficient. We would stay again.
We had 4 adults and 3 children along with 2 dogs. The house was beautiful and had plenty a f room for everyone. The kids had a blast with the basement and the outdoor fire pit. They fished and swam and played with the dogs at the dog park. It was a great time. Communication with host was prompt and thorough.
The host was in regular communication. Welcome email. Perfect directions. Easy entry. Answered questions immediately. Provided local contact for help if needed.Cabin was clean. Comfortable. Excellent location. Home away from feeling. So glad we chose this cabin!
This home is the perfect location for a family vacation to the Elljay/Blue Ridge area. Very close to many activities and still a quiet area. The owners were in close contact the entire trip and made sure we had everything we needed. We will definitely be back!

This was a great cabin, perfect for 7-8 people. It was beautifully decorated, in a quiet area, and close to Ellijay which has good dining options. My only negative about it is that some of the ac outlets did not work. But other than that we had a wonderful family reunion there.

About the host
Hosted by Linda Stracener
I grew up in California and moved to the Virgin Islands after graduating from San Diego State, where I met my husband Vince. We ran a charterboat (think "Below Deck", but not quite as big), for 27 years! We currently reside in Bonita Springs Fl. Hospitality and vacationing is in our blood. Captain Vince was a dive instructor and a remarkable sailor. Perfecting meals in the galley was my talent along with underwater photography. With family in North Georgia, we thought of no other place than Ellijay to share our next "vacation destination" with others. We also enjoy our time in SW Florida when we feel the need for heat! Recently retired, we travel in our "land yacht" while away. Please enjoy your stay "weather" it be spring, summer, winter or fall!
Why they chose this property
We have family that live in the area and fell in love with it when we visited so we decided to get a place of our own to share with our growing family and with others when we cannot stay ourselves!
What makes this property unique
It is one of the few properties in the area that is actually walking distance to the river, the dog parks, AND outdoor pool. Location is the best in the area!
