About this property

A Wilderness Retreat Among the Trees – Quiet Cabin Sleeps 4, Hike from Backyard

Escape to your own personal wilderness refuge at Treetop Oasis Retreat, a charming cabin in the heart of the northern Georgia wilderness. Indoors or out, you will be fully immersed in the serenity of nature, whether you’re hiking the trails directly out of the back yard or spending time indoors surrounded by the impressive wood interior. Pour a relaxing glass of wine and make conversation under the stars seated around the stone firepit with accompanying Adirondack seating. While blissfully secluded from the outside world, you’ll also be conveniently located to jump back in when it suits you, with nearby destinations providing access to wineries and vineyards, rafting, ziplining, lakes, river tubing, horseback riding, and so much more. Plan a day trip to Ellijay, less than 20 minutes away, and take full advantage of the shopping, dining, entertainment scene.

Here, the chef in your group will be delighted to find it fully equipped with all standard appliances, cookware, toaster, and drip coffee maker. The island can accommodate seating for 6 for quick bites or your morning coffee, while the nearby dining room table can formally seat 8.

Wonderful Yet Disappointing
The home is as cozy as the pictures suggest. The kitchen is well stocked and functional. The living spaces have higher end furniture. However, several things were quite annoying. The outside lights are numerous and everywhere. Very bright, and you are not permitted to turn them off. So much for ambiance by the fire pit or on the deck at night! It was terribly disappointing. The description makes no mention of the overwhelming light that accompanies the 5 out-facing camera surveillance. You can't switch the AC to heat and back. In the spring. You must contact Grand Welcome (GW), which is another annoyance. A gas fireplace allowed us to warm the place. We suggest upper and lower temp limits, instead. Guests’ needs vary. Accommodate them. The deck requires maintenance and caution should be exercised if barefoot (nails that popped, weathered decking, and at least one deck board could potentially cause injury (near the bedroom.) GW manages this property and are the most onerous and least responsive of any property we’ve stayed at in 25+ years with VRBO. GW requires you to complete an online app followed by a 3rd party verification company, who require you to take a picture of your photo ID and a live picture of yourself. Msgs sent via VRBO took up to14 hours for a response (e.g., to switch the AC.) They were also slow to respond and completely ignored parts of other messages. We enjoyed our stay in spite of the above but we will never stay in another GW-managed property.

Fall getaway
Everything was great. My only concern is the firmness of the mattress. I understand that it is personal preference; but for us, the bed was extremely stiff and uncomfortable.
