The cabin was adorable, super clean and resourceful with fully stocked kitchen and bathroom essentials. I loved the river on the side of the cabin! We enjoyed our stay very much.

Everything was great about the place, cozy and warm. The parking was challenging for a 8' bed f 350, other than that the short stay was great and just what we wanted from a mountain cabin.

The property and stay was excellent for our family. Issues had to do with the driveway likely due to the heavy rains washing away some of the gravel making it challenging to drive out of the driveway. Lack of standard pantry items were an issue as well while cooking at the cabin.

We loved our stay at the cabin! It was tucked away and had everything we needed. We loved the indoor fire place and that the kitchen had everything we needed (but bring your own spices). The cabin is off a gravel road so be ready for a bumpy ride in-it was the perfect distance from hiking and Ellijay (grocery store). The beds were comfy and the shower got hot-we also loved that we could wash our clothes from the hiking.Thank you for having the perfect spot for our family and pup!

The cabin was outstanding! The decor was homey, the kitchen well fully equipped and the beds were comfortable! The screened in porch overlooking the bubbling creek was so nice in the mornings. The fireplace was the best in the evenings; wood is sold everywhere like Walmart & Home Depot. Plenty of hiking trails around and antique malls to get lost in. I absolutely adored this cabin and will definitely come back next time I am in Northern Georgia. Do not hesitate to book this gem!

The cabin was just as the pictures showed. The rooms were clean when we arrived, we didn’t cook but the kitchen had everything we would have needed. We couldn’t get logged in on the wifi and had to contact the host and they took care of this issue quickly. We loved the back porch, sitting in the rocking chairs listening to the creek below. So quite and serene. If you want to get away and disconnect this was the perfect place to do so. It was close to Ellijay and Blue Ridge, plenty of shopping and restaurants. We even went to the movie theater. It’s nice to get away from the city and be in such beautiful surroundings.
