Our stay at the octagon cabin was absolutely perfect! We couldn't believe the amount of deer that we saw right from the deck. Also, the cabin is so well-appointed with everything we needed to have a comfortable stay. We hardly wanted to leave the cabin, but when we did Downtown Ellijay was delightful and my family was amazed at the Ingalls grocery store in town! We will certainly be back!

The octagon cabin was the perfect place for a girls getaway with a friend and her teenage daughter. Very relaxing environment with so many deer in the backyard! We loved sitting around the fire pit watching the deer. Perfect views from the hot tub too!

This beautiful cabin is perfect for a peaceful getaway. From the start of booking to our check out, everything was top notch. The communication was quick and helpful. We felt comfortable and had everything we needed. There were many suggestions for places to eat or things to do. We couldn't have asked for a better trip. Seeing the deer up close during all points of the day was awesome! Our future trips to Georgia will include a stay at the Octagon cabin!

What a beautiful home! We loved how spacious and comfortable it was and it’s clear the owners have taken great care in providing everything you need for an awesome stay.We LOVED: the deer, the hot tub, the loft couch, the porches, the gate so we could keep the door open for the dogs. The host was wonderfully communicative and i feel sure would have quickly responded had we needed anything (we didn’t) or if something went wrong (it didn’t).

Relaxing
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The space was perfect for our group of 6. 4 teens and 2 adults. We played pacman and soaked in the hot tub. Deer visits were a perk during morning coffee and midday snack. We look forward to visiting again.

Perfect Mountain Getaway
We loved our stay in this very charming and unique home. It was well equipped with everything we could possibly need. Check in was a breeze and the owner’s responses to any questions was always immediate. The home is located in a lovely gated neighborhood where we felt very safe. Deer walk through it 24/7 and are extremely tame. You can literally walk right up to them. It was just a wonderfully, perfect getaway. Highly recommend.
