About the host
Hosted by Gerald Cionci
Hi, I'm Jerry, your main host at Lookout River Cabin.
I absolutely love to travel, and one of my all-time favorite destinations is the beautiful Blue Ridge, Georgia area. My family has owned property in these North Georgia Mountains for over 15 years, and we've had the joy of watching charming Ellijay and vibrant Blue Ridge grow and thrive.
We're so excited to finally share our dream with you—Lookout River Cabin has been crafted into the serene, modern retreat we always envisioned. We can't wait for you to experience it! Enjoy your stay and make some wonderful memories.
Warmly,
Jerry

Why they chose this property
Located in the beautiful and historic town of Ellijay, GA and very close to the cool town of Blue Ridge, GA with EASY access to great dining options, golfing, hiking, fishing, tubbing, boating, wineries, orchards, antiquing and simply walking around the historic southern towns.
What makes this property unique
Our Scandinavian-inspired A-frame offers 750 sq ft of sleek, clutter-free indoor living space and nearly 675 sq ft of expansive outdoor decking. Enjoy the upper lookout deck for panoramic views and the lower spa deck featuring your private Scandinavian hot sauna and refreshing nature shower—perfect for rinsing off before or after your sauna sessions.
Explore your own private nature trail right on the property: over 700 feet of winding, safety-railed paths lead you on a gentle 2-3 minute hike down to the river. There, you'll find a serene landing area on the riverbank—relax on the nature bench, cast a line for trout fishing in your personal river spot, or simply soak in the tranquility. (A gentle note: river rocks can be slippery, and the stone steps require careful footing if you dip your toes or wade in.)
Our expansive lighted fire pit sits on the right side of the property, offering cozy evenings with river views. Ample parking makes arrival easy and stress-free.
Inside, the main-floor bedroom (larger, with private bath) and loft bedroom (with private bath and stunning mountain views) both feature luxurious Thuma beds and Nectar mattresses for exceptional comfort. The modern, efficient design includes premium Fisher & Paykel appliances, a warm Norwegian Jotul gas stove, and a gorgeous spiral staircase connecting the living area to the loft.
Custom-built for a maximum of 2-4 guests, the cabin balances intimate indoor spaces with abundant outdoor areas—where we believe you'll spend most of your time enjoying this peaceful slice of mountain tranquility!
For an ultra-clean stay, we maintain a strict no-pets (unless service animals) and no-smoking (inside) policy. Guests must be 25+ (children allowed only under direct parental/legal guardian supervision; not recommended for kids under 10).
