Experience the peace and quiet of a classic country setting in the contemporary comfort of brand-new construction at this beautiful Ellijay cabin. This is a place for summer evenings spent barbecuing and roasting marshmallows around the firepit, with the sparkle of fireflies illuminating the surrounding woods.

Newly completed in 2023, this rural home is wonderfully secluded about 10 miles west of Ellijay. It makes a lovely home base for your North Georgia adventures, whether you're kayaking the Cartecay River, attending the Georgia Apple Festival, or orchard-hopping and wine-tasting your way across the region.

So named for the fireflies that charm the property in spring and early summer, this home is a wondrous place for spending time outdoors. Sip your morning coffee in the rocking chairs on the covered deck, light the gas grill on the patio in the afternoons, and end each evening with ghost stories around the firepit.

Inside, the main living space is on the upper floor, full of elegant finishes and new furnishings as well as a TV. Cook with ease in an open kitchen with stainless steel appliances, sit down for family meals and board games at the dining room table, and spend your evenings playing Ping-Pong and darts in the unfinished basement. Of the bedrooms (both with TVs), one is a primary suite with its own bathroom. A washer/dryer, central air, and complimentary WiFi are provided as well.

Beautiful new home in quiet picturesque location

Beautiful home nicely decorated and comfortable with thoughtful amenities. Would recommend for families moreso than adult groups due to the bunk beds. Note there is no TV in the living area so plan around that.

Everything about this home was beautiful. The location was great to downtown Ellijay and not far to Blue Ridge. We would definitely stay here again in the future!!

Great Get Away

This house was decorated so beautifully. It was perfect for a get away for my husband and I. We had friends that lived right down the road. I love that it's a gated community. It's a great place to walk and the area with the river running through is gorgeous. We will stay again.

JULY4TH EVENT

The property was about 7 min from my Brother's. The house was nice. It did echo in the main area. We didn't stay there much but it had everything we were looking for except a TV in the main living/kitchen space. We saw deer and turkeys in the yard and the neighborhood. We wished it would have had a hot tub, even though it was 90 degrees out.

Nice stay

Overall it was a nice stay. Well stocked kitchen. We did not like that the basement was too dusty, and that they don’t provide firewood.

Amazing Views and Perfectly Peaceful

The place was absolutely perfect. It was a nice getaway and everything was stocked and new! Great sunrise in the morning and sunsets in the evening. There's a really great creek near the clubhouse towards the back of the new neighborhood. Super peaceful and probably the most beautiful cabin I have ever stayed at!
