Experience the peace and quiet of a classic country setting in the contemporary comfort of brand-new construction at this beautiful Ellijay cabin. This is a place for summer evenings spent barbecuing and roasting marshmallows around the firepit, with the sparkle of fireflies illuminating the surrounding woods.
Newly completed in 2023, this rural home is wonderfully secluded about 10 miles west of Ellijay. It makes a lovely home base for your North Georgia adventures, whether you're kayaking the Cartecay River, attending the Georgia Apple Festival, or orchard-hopping and wine-tasting your way across the region.
So named for the fireflies that charm the property in spring and early summer, this home is a wondrous place for spending time outdoors. Sip your morning coffee in the rocking chairs on the covered deck, light the gas grill on the patio in the afternoons, and end each evening with ghost stories around the firepit.
Inside, the main living space is on the upper floor, full of elegant finishes and new furnishings as well as a TV. Cook with ease in an open kitchen with stainless steel appliances, sit down for family meals and board games at the dining room table, and spend your evenings playing Ping-Pong and darts in the unfinished basement. Of the bedrooms (both with TVs), one is a primary suite with its own bathroom. A washer/dryer, central air, and complimentary WiFi are provided as well.

Cabin was clean and comfortable. We loved the kitchen and the island as well as the back deck. The fire pit was a nice place to relax and the property provided plenty of room for our dogs to roam.
We had an amazing time! There was plenty of room inside and out for our toddler to run around. I’ve been to a handful of cabins in the past two years and this was by far the cleanest place I’ve been to. I would definitely book again!

Beautiful Home
Everything about this home was beautiful. The location was great to downtown Ellijay and not far to Blue Ridge. We would definitely stay here again in the future!!
The house and the property are beautiful and so peaceful! Close to everything we wanted to do. We enjoyed the fire pit and the back deck! Would definitely stay again.
We have Family in the area and we spend Fourth of July there. We've rented this house two summers in a row and it is just perfect for us. It's super clean and comfortable and easy to get to. We have three college kids so they fit comfortably in that second bedroom. We will probably rent it again next summer.

Great Get Away
This house was decorated so beautifully. It was perfect for a get away for my husband and I. We had friends that lived right down the road. I love that it's a gated community. It's a great place to walk and the area with the river running through is gorgeous. We will stay again.
Overall it was a nice stay. Well stocked kitchen. We did not like that the basement was too dusty, and that they don’t provide firewood.

Amazing Views and Perfectly Peaceful
The place was absolutely perfect. It was a nice getaway and everything was stocked and new! Great sunrise in the morning and sunsets in the evening. There's a really great creek near the clubhouse towards the back of the new neighborhood. Super peaceful and probably the most beautiful cabin I have ever stayed at!

Beautiful new home in quiet picturesque location
Beautiful home nicely decorated and comfortable with thoughtful amenities. Would recommend for families moreso than adult groups due to the bunk beds. Note there is no TV in the living area so plan around that.

Getting in was a challenge as the code did not work. No glass glasses, only plastic. TV was also...
The property was about 7 min from my Brother's. The house was nice. It did echo in the main area. We didn't stay there much but it had everything we were looking for except a TV in the main living/kitchen space. We saw deer and turkeys in the yard and the neighborhood. We wished it would have had a hot tub, even though it was 90 degrees out.

Clean, beautiful but lacks comfort
Property is in a great subdivision close to many great activities and very safe and quiet. House is new, clean and very pretty. Just lacks comfort overall. Couch is really hard and not comfortable. Other two chairs in the living room look like dining room chairs and sit very low. Also not comfortable. Bed is ok not great.
Home needs a whole house generator. Power went out for about 15 hours and from what I learned, it happens often in this area and always takes a long time to correct. With this knowledge, get a whole house generator.
