Weekend getaway

The home is just as listed, very clean and super quiet! We enjoyed the peace and serenity as well as the visit from some local bears. Navigating to the property was easy, views were beautiful, and the entire space was cozy without being too small. I’d love to stay again!

Great place to get away and relax. Beautiful views out of the large windows with many deer saying hello in the morning. The hot tub and game room was definitely an added bonus. Very clean and comfortable. We definitely plan to come back again.

Great place for a family

The home is nice & has a perfect layout for a family. Plenty of room. Nice back porch & outside seating. It’s at the end of a cul de sac & you aren’t right up under other cabins.The community pool is not far & nice. I would definitely stay here again.

Family Vacation

The home was clean, had plenty of space and amenities were all as described. It was the perfect get away to spend time with family for Christmas. The propane ran out during the stay. Nate responded quickly, stayed in contact, gave options and made sure propane was delivered. Nate and Shana were great hosts.

Peaceful vacation

Our family of 5 had a wonderful vacation at the cabin. It is on a quiet, peaceful cul-de-sac and the views are amazing. The cabin is spacious and very comfortable. The kids loved the hot tub and playing cards, darts, and basketball in the game room. We also enjoyed hiking the trails in the neighborhood. It is conveniently located to both Ellijay and Blue Ridge and we enjoyed the shopping and restaurants in both towns. We would definitely recommend this cabin!

Beautiful Property

Beautiful view high up on the mountain. The cabin was very spacious. Easily fit three adults and four children. We definitely used the kitchen which was stocked up with dishes and cooking utensils. There's a nice grill outside that we used. Overall, would definitely recommend if you have a large group and don't want to be on top of each other in a cramped hotel room!

Fall Break 2024

We had such a relaxing and fun Fall Break!! The kids enjoyed the hammock and game room, the adults loved everything! We went to Hillcrest Orchards and enjoyed the Apple Festival, bounce pads, pig races, games and of course snacks & souvenirs! We took the kids gem mining and putt-putt golfing. Had lots of deer visit the cabin and saw a bear cross the road returning to the cabin one afternoon! The cabin was clean and very comfortable.

Cute house

We enjoyed our stay here. We did have an issue when we got there with getting in the house due to the key pad being dead, but I called the owner and we were able to get that resolved quickly. It is a very cute house and is in a quiet neighborhood on a mountain. The owner was friendly and quick to respond. Hot tub was nice to have but was kind of dirty and could have used a good clean. I also did not like that there weren’t curtains on atleast all of the bedroom windows. Over all it was a nice get away for us, as we would definitely stay here again. The surrounding areas offer a lot to do an see as well, so that’s also a plus.

Mountain Getaway

We enjoyed getting to know the little town of Ellijay. It is in a beautiful part of northern Georgia. We had a few hiccups with our stay but Shana was very responsive and quick to help. We really enjoyed playing tennis at the nearby community court and watching the deer wandering through the yard. Something to note, especially when trying to find the garbage dumpsters, is that there are 4 different gated entrances to different sections of the community. The dumpsters are at a different gated entrance than the cabin.

Beautiful cabin in the mountains

This cabin was wonderful for our family of five including an adult with mobility issues. Spacious, great views, well equipped with all the comforts of home. The porch and hot tub were fantastic additions. Access into the community was a little confusing and we could not find an access card to use the pool. Disappointed the host did not reply to our request for help. The maintenance office printer was down and then the office closed for COVID so we couldn't get access. We wish there would have been a guide book or written instructions in the cabin with more info about the cabin, community and town. We found our way around and had a great trip overall. Woild consider staying again.

Overall good stay with a few hiccups

Family and I stayed at the property over the Thanksgiving holiday. Had trouble getting onto the property because didn’t have the gate code. Was unable to get in touch with owner on the night of checkin. Luckily another resident let us in. My biggest issue was the water pressure. It was really bad and the house had a weird smell especially in the game room area. Also the carpets in the bedrooms could use a good cleaning. If I could give any feedback to the owner it would be to have a folder with any info needed for guests and remove the carpet for pet friendly property. That said overall we had a great time and especially loved the views and the double sided fireplace.

Great location

We enjoyed our stay, and would stay here again. The reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is because of the awful smell in the game room. We noticed it when we first arrived, but it got progressively worse. It was a sewer smell, and the owner said they were working on the sewer lines, so that's probably why. The owner was very responsive and I have no complaints there. The kitchen was well appointed for cooking, and there were a few spices that had been left by previous guests(I'm assuming). I always like that. The house was very clean, and there were plenty of towels which I love! The only things to note are the broken sofa in the game room( missing back legs, sitting on blocks) and the fact that there are no window coverings across the front of the house, and there are houses that could easily see in. We loved the huge windows, but felt very exposed at night when we couldn't see out, but anyone could see in. Overall it was a great little trip, and we would stay here again.
