Perfect cabin!
Beautiful property! Cabin was clean and had everything you need. Beds were nice, plenty of hot water, spacious rooms. Close to downtown and several wineries. Enjoyed watching the deer roam each morning!
Highly recommend!! We loved our stay here. The home was beautiful, comfortable and cozy. Inside was clean and well appointed. If I had to offer any criticisms they would be minor - doors were loud and difficult to close and the exterior spider webs were extensive. (Think that is more a reflection of the time of year!) All that being said, we hope to return in the future. It was one of our favorite rentals and perfect for our family.

Nice enjoyable stay
With 3 levels and balconies on each this cabin is a great place to relax. Enjoyed watching the deer. Nice game room downstairs but we didn’t use it. Clean, neat decor, cabin feel, safe neighborhood. Ready to go again.

The copper lantern was a dream
My family stated the Copper lantern for five nights. I can’t say enough about what a great time we had. Every detail in the cabin was thought of right down to the game room with jukebox. The layout of the home was perfect for a family of six and we loved our time together, where the kids were able to disconnect from their phones and even play board games together. The location was great and allow us to enjoy not only the town of Ellijay but also Blue Ridge nearby and we ventured out to Helen Georgia. We can’t wait to come back during one of the apple festivals or apple season . Tubing Ellijay was fantastic as were the wineries shops and restaurants. This was our first experience vacationing in this area and we will be back often.

Liked: Check-in, location, listing accuracy
Disliked: Cleanliness, communication
We were given an early check-in but it all went downhill from there. The door code is 10 digits which makes entering not easy. Trash found on property, three beer cans which i cleaned up two of. One was out of reach under deck. The dishwasher was full of dirty dishes. We ran the dishwasher but a yellow liquid was evident in the washer. The upstairs tub had a disgusting yellow ring which could not be cleaned. Most doors were difficult to close and open. A lot of lights did not work. Both fireplaces are inoperable and instructions did not work. Spider webs plentiful on back deck. Beds were also uncomfortable. Too firm. Sad, because location was perfect and we saw tons of deer. Cleaning service needs to be changed and maintenance of house needs servicing.

The Copper Lantern is a beautiful home with absolutely everything you could want or need for a mountain getaway. The furnishings and beds were very comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. The small ice maker was a nice touch. The only negative we experienced was the limited amount of hot water. We had to schedule showers and there wasn’t enough hot water to fill up the jet tub upstairs. Also the chemicals in the hot tub were too strong to enjoy for very long. The chemicals damaged our swim suits by changing the white to a brownish color that didn’t come out after laundering. We rented using VRBO and are used to communicating with a host. This home is rented through Vacasa. The Tv remote was missing in the game room and the vacasa representative couldn’t help with that or early check in questions. Overall it was a beautiful cabin and we would definitely stay again. The deer that roam around and visit were the highlight of the vacation! There are plenty of outdoor seating areas to enjoy the nature.
