Nestled in the serene heart of the Rich Mountains, this secluded house on 6 acres is the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The cabin itself is an ideal blend of rustic charm and modern comfort. High ceilings, large windows, and a stone fireplace create a cozy yet spacious feel, while the full kitchen, comfortable furnishings, and thoughtful touches make it feel like a home away from home. Whether you're curling up with a good book, cooking a meal, or simply enjoying the view from the wrap-around porch, the space encourages relaxation and reconnection. The true beauty of this cabin lies in its seclusion. The only sounds you hear are the gentle rustling of leaves, the horses, the chirping of birds, and the occasional distant call of wildlife. It's an ideal setting for those looking to unplug, unwind, and embrace nature. For outdoor enthusiasts, the cabin is a gateway to hiking, exploring, and enjoying the rich mountain landscape. Ellijay itself is known for its apple orchards and it’s just a short drive away if you want to venture out for a day. Overall, this cabin is the ultimate retreat for anyone seeking peace, solitude, and natural beauty.
A drive down the road takes you to Springer Mountain where the beginning of the famous Appalachian Trail starts or the Benton MacKaye Trail.

Please note horses are rotated to other pastures throughout the year.

Mountain Getaway

This was our second time here at this very quiet, very relaxing location. This place is perfect for getting away. The deck is amazing as you can look at the mountains and just hangout and read. Local hiking is great and the local orchards have the best apples ever. Molly is the host with the most!!!!!!!!

Comfycozy

I hesitate to say anything because I want to return allll the time and I don’t want anyone else to know. This was the secluded, cozy, clean dream I didn’t know I needed. Wish it was longer and I will be back. This house had what we needed and then some. The epitome of mountain getaway

Fantastic Mountain Property

Everything was perfect and the host was great. It is a great location to see mountains, visit multiple mountain towns, and go to the apple orchards. Check-in and check-out were very easy.

Anniversary trip

The property is very picturesque and quiet. We were looking to get away for a quiet relaxing getaway and this was perfect. Quiet walks, visiting the horses and watching the sunset from the deck. There is almost 360 degrees mountain views. The cabin was clean, nicely decorated, had great water pressure and nice mattress(not too firm or too soft)! Definitely consider 4wd or Awd for the neighborhood. Our SUV didn't have an issue though. We would definitely stay again!

Elijah Mountain House

We had a great time. The house was very spacious and very well kept. We did not really know what to expect but it was an amazing place and was much more than our expectations. The view was exceptional and we were able to enjoy ourselves and relax. It is also not very far from Blue Ridge and we took a day trip and had so much fun. Josh and Meg

Totally fine

Just not sure about the accuracy of the listing title? Hike out the door? Closest trails were 20-30 min drives. Very clean as advertised, but felt scattered and lots of sticky notes with rules to follow sucked a little bit of the fun out of the “romantic” aspect. Fine for the price point.

Gorgeous cabin, wonderful stay

The pictures do not do this property justice. The cabin is absolutely GORGEOUS, spacious, clean, and comfortable. Our favorite features were the mountain view, the wood burning fireplace, and the dual-head rainfall shower. The directions Molly gave were accurate and easy to follow. She was available via text to answer my questions about the road conditions since they had recently gotten snow. One thing to note is that the mattress is firm. I like a firm mattress, but it might be worth knowing for future guests.I highly recommend this property and would gladly book again in the future.
