I loved the large back porch. It was like a treehouse.
You can hear the river below . The Deer came by every day. If you’re looking for a natural setting, this is it.
The purpose of our trip was to get reprieve from the South Florida heat and humidity. Mission was accomplished! The cabin was extremely clean and cozy. The appliances appeared to be brand new. The cabin was surrounded by trees which made the area cool and comfortable. The porch furniture was very comfortable where we enjoyed our morning coffee and book reading. The owner was very quick to respond to texts when questions arose. The Roku TV was frustrating to us since we were unfamiliar with the system, however we were able to view platforms for which we had subscriptions. The WiFi worked without a hitch! Our biggest joy was watching a family of deer pass by daily. The overall month’s experience was very enjoyable. Thank you Bill and Jackie for sharing your cozy cabin with us.
This was the best stay we have experienced.
This cabin was absolutely wonderful the neighborhood was quiet I enjoyed walking and seeing deer everywhere I looked. The hosts were great to communicate with if I was to come back to this area I would definitely stay here again.
We stayed at the cabin for 3 months and it was not a long enough visit. On the back porch you see the deer all day long and you can hear the river rushing below it. Clean cabin and wonderful setting in a secure location. The owners are super to work with and quickly respond to all inquiries or requests. Definitely a 5-star property.
We travel as part of my wife's career and we have stayed at many properties. This home has been one of our most pleasant experiences.
The owners are wonderful to work with, presented a recently updated, spotless home in a wonderfully quiet setting (with the sound of the river in the background). The back porch is wonderful for relaxing and reading. The grill is new. The gas stove works amazing! The Internet never skipped a beat, I worked from home comfortably there myself.
As mentioned, the house was clean, well stocked and in good repair. The property is wooded, has regular groups of deer coming through and is very close to Ellijay (9 mins maybe?).
The short drive to the cabin across the bridge is wonderful!
