Magical

This cabin was so magical. It was in the best location to everything from hiking to shopping! The property had everything and more! The kids absolutely loved the Wii gaming system on cold mornings and catching fish in the pond! It was so nice to be able to hike from the cabin. The power even went out one day and the whole house.generator came in handy! We were so sad to leave but already booked our stay here for next year!

Wonderful!

A gem! We had a wonderful winter weekend getaway with family at this cabin, and everyone raved about how peaceful and lovely this cabin and property were. The kids loved the arcade game and running around outside, and they've already asked when we can go back :) The layout was perfect for us and it had everything we needed. We loved the creek view and firepit and even saw deer outside one morning. Thank you!

Very nice cabin

We had a wonderful time in the Ellijay area. The cabin is very spacious, clean, and it is in a perfect location. It is nice and secluded, but close enough to town and other places of interest to make it an easy drive. Can’t wait to stay again.

Amazing stay

The property really is wonderful, plenty of space for our group of 8. The kids had plenty of room to run around outside, explore the creek and check out the hiking trail. The adults enjoyed the fire pit, fishing and the all the meals in the well stocked kitchen. The owners have really thought of all the little things.

Wonderful cabin!

This really is a fantastic cabin! It's clean, comfortable, and spacious. Great kitchen to cook meals in. We made a fire in the fire pit outside and roasted marshmallows every evening. My kids loved fishing in the pond. The best was playing in the creek! The cabin is even filled with toys and games, which was an unexpected bonus. We had a great time and hope to return!
