About this property
Mountaintown Retreat| Ellijay, GA
Mountaintown Retreat is a newly built farmhouse-style cabin that blends rustic comfort with upscale design, tucked beside the flowing waters of Mountaintown Creek. From the hot tub to the private walking trail, every inch of this home was made to help you slow down, breathe deep, and reconnect with nature, your loved ones, and yourself. This retreat is ideal for couples, friends, or a small family seeking a peaceful escape in the North Georgia mountains. Traveling with a bigger group? Mountaintown Retreat sits right beside two sister properties—Mountaintown Chalet and Mountaintown Cottage—perfect for larger gatherings that still allow for personal space.
Living Areas The main-level living room invites you to kick off your shoes and stay awhile. A soft sofa and two armchairs offer plenty of space to relax by the gas fireplace, whether you're watching a movie on the smart TV or simply soaking up the cozy atmosphere. The space is warm and welcoming, with wood finishes, soft textures, and light streaming in through the windows. Upstairs, a second living area provides guests with a quiet retreat. Two plush armchairs, a reading nook, and a full desk setup make this the perfect spot for a private conversation, morning journaling, or even a bit of remote work with a view.
Kitchen/Dining Areas The kitchen is stocked and styled to support every kind of guest, from those who love to cook to those who love to snack. You'll find state-of-the-art appliances, pots, pans, utensils, a blender, a toaster, a Keurig (bring your favorite pods), wine glasses, and all the basics you need for preparing meals with ease. The adjacent dining area features a farmhouse-style table where guests can gather for breakfast, dinner, or a round of cards. It's a comfortable, communal space that encourages slow meals, good conversation, and time well spent.
Bedrooms/Baths The main level is home to the Queen Suite, a restful retreat featuring a memory foam mattress, a ceiling fan, a smart TV, and an en-suite bathroom with a dual-sink vanity and a walk-in tile shower. It's private, calming, and steps away from the heart of the home. Upstairs, the second bedroom features a queen memory foam bed, vaulted ceilings, and its own smart TV. Guests here enjoy access to a full bathroom with a tub/shower combo—ideal for families with kids or guests who prefer a relaxing soak after a day of hiking.
Outdoor Amenities The screened-in porch is a guest favorite, offering a private hot tub and outdoor seating just feet from the creek. Whether you're sipping coffee in the morning or soaking under the stars at night, the sounds of the water create a soothing soundtrack to your stay. Just off the porch, a gravel path leads to a beautifully designed firepit area with four Adirondack chairs, a charcoal grill, and plenty of room to relax and reconnect outdoors. There's even a set of cornhole boards for a little friendly competition as the sun goes down.

Beautiful new cabin in a very quiet area. Got to enjoy a fabulous cabin in the mountains with my family and enjoy the small town atmosphere of Ellijay which was wonderful! The team were fantastic to work with and exceeded my expectations.
We had a wonderful time and the property was awesome! My ONLY thing, the nats were pretty bad inside but I know that comes with seasonality, there was no like counter cleaner which would have been helpful to wipe for counters after cooking etc, no vacuum or dust pan for the broom for cleaning up. I know they are a little silly things but definitely would help the experience or know to bring those items with me! Other than that, we can’t wait to book again! Location was awesome and everything was so new and nice.
