About the host
Hosted by Luly Allen
I'm a Registered Nurse and it was so easy to transition from caring for my patients to hosting my amazing guests. I'm originally from Miami and wanted to bring a little Miami flair to the gorgeous and picturesque Blue Ridge Mountains in Ellijay, Georgia.
Why they chose this property
I fell in love with the Blue Ridge Mountains and Ellijay, Georgia because I could bring the Rustic vibe of the mountains with the amenities of a resort so everyone can have a good time! The forested backdrop is breathtaking, the sound of songbirds allows you to relax and unwind.
What makes this property unique
When you first walk in you'll see this is not your grandma's cabin.
You're greeted by floor to ceiling windows, beautiful angular, tongue in groove crafted ceilings with tons of natural light and a stacked stone fireplace! We love to shop small businesses and packed the cabin with tons of local décor, art, furnishings and housewares to highlight the local wildlife and everything Ellijay.
