PERFECT
This property was perfect for our family. we traveled with 8 adults and 7 children and there was plenty of room. This home is in the mountains so you will be driving inclines and declines on a narrow two lane road but it is easy to navigate. The home was clean and had everything we needed as far as kitchen utensils and toiletries to spend the week there. There are lots of deer in the neighborhood and they were always in the yard. The owner was great with communication and treated us exactly how a guest should be treated. We would definitely stay at another one of this hosts VRBO's. 5 STARS all day for this host.

Nice Cabin Overall
This was our second time staying in Ellijay and the location of this cabin was very convenient if you need to get to shopping or restaraunts quickly; however the mountainous view was sacrificed bc of the location. The cabin was clean and had everything it advertised, but felt a little smaller than expected on the main floor. There were quite a few cobwebs throughout and the toaster burnt our bagels 2 days in a row....we tried different settings and all (so they could prob use a new toaster). The kids loved the hot tub, as a suggestion it would be nice to have a table and chairs on that level. The beds were comfortable and the front yard with the firepit was bery enjoyable. The chair swing by the fire pit should be fastened down for safety.

MUST STAY!! Will be back
This is a MUST STAY property!! The accuracy of the listing was spot on, the house was so clean, spacious, and had super comfy beds! Fun for ALL ages, from the ping pong table, table soccer, outside fire pit, hot tub, and the card/ board games left for us! The house is in a great spot with beautiful views and got to see a few deer with our one night stay! And let’s talk about the Communication from Piyumi.. he communicated before, during and after our stay and was five star in itself! Already started planning a trip back up! We will DEFINITELY be back!

Relaxing Cabin Family Vacation
We had a great week in Ellijay and absolutely loved spending time in the cabin with my family! Cabin was clean and had everything we needed. Piyumi went above & beyond and had amazing communication before & during our stay. We especially appreciated the location of the cabin from the main entrance to Coosawattee - it was an easy drive in (once we did it a couple times) and the property does not have a steep driveway. The main downtown area was a very easy drive and there is so much to do within Ellijay - we never even made it up to Blue Ridge as we had planned. We would absolutely stay in this cabin again when we visit Ellijay.

MUST STAY!!!!
EVERYTHING about this place was absolutely amazing!!!! The house was clean & well decorated. It was well equipped with all kitchen supplies, towels, all 3 full baths had shampoo conditioner and body wash-even a blow dryer!! The second we walked in the door our grown kids were already asking if we could come back every year. Piyumi was extremely polite, extremely easy to work with and was quick to respond!!
Absolutely recommend!!!! Don’t miss out!
