Red Maple Cabin is a secluded, peaceful, mountain home surrounded by woods with the sound of a nearby mountain stream located on the side of Walnut Mountain just minutes from Ellijay. Snuggle in front of the living room fireplace (seasonal), or enjoy the front porch rocking chairs. More rocking chairs grace the expansive back deck with gas BBQ grill, deep woods view, and a serene, quiet, mountain setting. In the evening you can cozy up to the outdoor fire pit, wrap yourself in a blanket, and swap stories.

Upon arrival to the wood cabin you are greeted by the front deck with several inviting rocking chairs. Inside are wood walls and wood floors for that true cabin experience. There are 3 decks in all, one in front, and two in back with great views and several rocking chairs. The upper/loft main bedroom has its own private deck.

The main level features the living room with a high vaulted ceiling, a cozy fireplace (seasonal), two queen bedrooms, a full bath, and kitchen. Off the kitchen is the second deck running the entire the length of the cabin with a plumbed gas grill and perfect views.

The upper/loft main bedroom features a king size bed, private full bathroom, reading nook, and double doors opening to the private screened deck.

Downstairs (basement) is a large game room with a Smart TV, sitting area, Street Fighter II arcade with twelve games, unlimited retro gaming fun, a regulation size cornhole set, game table, and lots of games.

Outdoors, the back yard features a wood-burning fire pit for enjoying great conversations on a chilly night. Blankets are provided too. A picnic table under the trees is ready for your picnic gathering.

Each bedroom has smart ROKU TVs with blazing fast internet for accessing your favorite streaming apps just like you were at home. Smart TVs are also located in the living room and game room.

Adjacent to the living room is the kitchen stocked with cookware, dishes, glasses, a Hamilton Beach Flex Brew coffee maker for brewing by the pot or individual k-cups, blender, toaster, mixer, pots/pans, dishwasher, and more. Just bring your own groceries to make delicious meals on the gas cooktop and oven. The kitchen is open to the living room so that you can see the TV and talk to the other guests. The table sits six.

One thing we love is that it’s quiet here, the stars are amazing, and the wildlife visits from the squirrels, chipmunks, birds, and deer are entertaining.

Walnut Mountain offers four lakes and hiking trails. For the more adventurous, Amicalola Falls is only 30-minute drive away and offers great hiking, picnicking, and the falls. Hikers might want to visit the Chattahoochee National Forest on Springer Mountain where the Appalachian Trail begins. Around the Ellijay - Blue Ridge area you’ll discover white water rafting, tubing, zip lines, golf courses, beautiful mountain drives, apple orchards in the fall, antique shopping, and many local wineries and vineyards.

Lake access to Lake Dakwa (one of 4 lakes) is by walking up the mountain to the next right turn and following the walkway down to the lake and hiking trail.

All guests have access to the Walnut Mountain community amenities. These include an outdoor community swimming pool (open Saturday of Memorial Day weekend in May until Labor Day in September), play ground, tennis courts, basketball court, and a picnic area. Bring your canoe, kayak, and/or fishing poles to take advantage of the 4 private lakes in the community that are home to bass, catfish, and brim. There is a trout fishing stream at the entrance to Walnut Mountain near the picnic area. You will also find several hiking trails on Walnut Mountain. (Check local laws regarding fishing licenses.)

You are 5 minutes away from lovely, quaint downtown Ellijay. Stroll around the square and visit the several antique shops, the Amish Furniture Store (Beds Etc.), coffee shops, restaurants, Cartecay Wine & Craft, Boardwalk Pizza & Sub, Ellijay Wood Fired Pizza, River Street Tavern, and so much more.

Minutes away is the Rich Mountain Wildlife Management Area offering: Archery, Biking, Canoeing, Hiking, Horseback Riding, Hunting, River Fishing, and Wildlife Viewing.

Great Cabin

Excellent communication with owner. Cabin was very clean, very comfy, great decor, more games than you can imagine, well stocked with everything down to blankets for use at the fire pit. Owner provided information on all the wineries, hiking trails, restaurants and things to do. So lucky to have found this wonderful dog friendly cabin.

Great Getaway!

Red Maple Cabin was the perfect place to spend a few days. The property was super clean and had many amenities we enjoyed like the hot tub, fire pit, and arcade game! The location was great; close to orchards, the Cartecay river and downtown Ellijay. Dan was easy to communicate with and replied very quickly.

Weekend Mountain Getaway

We thoroughly enjoyed our 3 nights at Red Maple Cabin. It was exactly as described and well-maintained. Very thoughtful touches abound like cozy bathroom rugs, plenty of towels, stocked kitchen, games galore, labeled switches among other amenities. These things may seem trivial but they’re super helpful. It was chilly (and rainy) the weekend we were there making the evenings cozy while cuddled up on the sofa wrapped in blankets! We explored historic downtown Ellijay, local wineries, and hiking….all within a 30-minute drive of the cabin. Communication with the owner was easy, and he was super responsive. Highly recommend for a couple or family and we particularly enjoyed being able to bring our dog.

Absolutely perfect

Dan goes above and beyond to provide everything you could possibly need and then some to enjoy your stay at this gorgeous cabin!!! This cabin is so perfect and my fiancee and I throughly enjoyed our stay. We were super excited to have been able to be here while it snowed, which was icing on the cake to an amazing stay. There is so much thought and care that is put into this cabin. Dan was our life saver when our previous cabin rental was cancelled last minute due to the winter storm. I reached out to Dan asking about his property and he was so quick to respond and agree to host us! He kept us updated not only with the notices from the association on the roads but offered lots of things to do if we decided to go out and explore. This was a much needed getaway for us and we couldn’t have asked for and more. We will definitely be coming back again!!!

Coming back to Ellijay

My spouse and I have stayed at this house a few times and always enjoy it. It's a peaceful cabin to hang out and read. It's close to Ellijay and some great hiking. And we love the screened-in porch (where you can often listen and watch as thunderstorms roll through the forest) and the hot tub. We'll be back again for sure.

Absolutely amazing cabin with phenomenal views. Waking up to wild turkeys in the back yard was amazing. Enjoyed the cold nights relaxing in the hot tub. Then coming inside and having plenty of entertainment to keep us busy. Tons of games and an arcade as well. And plenty of amazing food and shopping close by. Would definitely recommend this cabin. And would love to book it again in the future.

Nice Cabin Getaway

Very nice cabin, all of the little things were provided..dishes, pans, condiments, etc. Rooms were very comfortable. The game room downstairs was nice but a little too chilly to enjoy during our visit. Firepits and hot tub were very relaxing,...providing hottub towels and blankets for the firepits was a nice touch. Great location to Ellijay and wineries. Very responsive host. Definitely would recommend and we will keep this saved for our next mountain visit.

Short getaway

My girlfriend of almost two years lost her son in a car accident in 2021. The holidays are always tough for her. We try to stay busy, so we decided to take a trip to Ellijay. The entire experience was wonderful. The cabin was even better than the listing. We enjoyed site seeing and shopping in Ellijay and Blue Ridge. Dan was super nice and told us things to enjoy. I highly recommend his cabin.

Nice Weekend Getaway

This cabin was perfect for a quick weekend getaway for my husband and me. The cabin was on a nice paved road, close to downtown Ellijay, and Dan was super responsive to everything and anything we needed. There was a cute hiking trail around a lake just around the corner - perfect way to start the day. And the cabin has tons of fun games, a nice hot tub, had cute Christmas decorations, and had very clear notes on everything we needed for the cabin and for the nearby town (shopping, restaurants, things to do, etc). Would highly recommend! Thanks for sharing your cabin with us, Dan!!

Great Place for some R&R

I needed to escape home for some quiet, hiking and R&R. Upon arrival at the Red Maple Cabin I first noticed how clean it was, it smelled great when entering the cabin. The kitchen area was appointed with good quality dishes, silverware, drinking glasses, pots and pans, etc. Everything you needed was there.The beds were very comfortable and the cabin was very nicely decorated. Since we brought our dog there were some rules to following, like crating him when he was left along. There were two different size crates to choose from in the cabin. The back deck was awesome, everyday we say a deer family come visit in the woods. The community also offered amenities which was very nice. I got the R&R I needed and plan to return in the future.

Peaceful, quiet, clean, & convenient

We were traveling with my elderly mother who has significant mobility issues but this house was perfect. Only a couple of stairs to get in the front door and then she had everything she needed on one level plus a comfy recliner. The back porch and the screened porch off the loft bed room were perfect for starting the morning with a cup of coffee or ending the day with a glass of wine. The house was thoughtfully appointed and had everything we needed for a quick getaway. The location is convenient to the highway and to the surrounding attractions. Communication with the host was quick and easy. We will be back!

About the host

Hosted by Dan

Host profile image
My primary home is in Austin, Texas where I arrived in 2014 via the Tampa, Florida area where I grew up.

I've always loved the Mountains and small towns like Ellijay. When I decided to purchase a vacation home to rent out short term I knew where I wanted to be.

I love this cabin and hope you do as well and enjoy staying here as much as I do.

Why they chose this property

My idea was to buy a log cabin home and this one caught my attention immediately. I love the seclusion, the view, and the cabin lifestyle. Deer walk through on a regular basis, hoot owls serenade at night, and an occasional bob cat can be seen.

What makes this property unique

Walnut Mountain offers fishing, hiking, tennis, picnicking, and a community pool. The community offers 4 lakes with lots of opportunity for walking, hiking, and being outdoors.

Besides the true cabin exterior and interior I love the front porch and the back decks. I enjoying relaxing and enjoying the view. Sitting around the fire pit with friends and sharing stories is a favorite pastime.
