Weekend retreat

This property is beautiful. Great spaces for a group to gather with a large kitchen and living room as well as the game and movie room downstairs. Plenty of beds with clean sheets. Two queen beds, a king, in addition to the bunk beds, trundle, and full bed in the loft. There was everything we ne needed to cook, plenty of pots and utensils, a gas grill and extra propane, and small appliances like a blender and hand mixer. The driveway was very steep but not unsafe. We didn't have any trouble getting to the parking area or back out. Everything was very clean, no dust or cobwebs, just a dirty pot a previous guest hid in the back of a cabinet. Totally a guest issue, not host neglect. There were some nice touches from the host like chocolates and coffee when we checked in. ked in.

A true cabin retreat

The whole family loved all the aspects of this creek side cabjn retreat. So much space for all the family and room to spare. Loved all the fun activities offered such as the pool table, games, fire pit and hot tub. The paved driveway was a plus. Distanced so you feel remote but still close to Ellijay with great restaurants, shopping, hiking and entertainment. Very helpful and communicative owner.

Just returned from a week's stay

My wife and I (and the pup) just returned from a week's stay at the cabin. The owner was very responsive during the entire booking process and stay. The house is clean and very quiet. We loved the game room. The town of Ellijay is only a 20 minute drive away. And there are many hiking trails if you're willing to drive a little further. Oh, we visited all of the local wineries as well. I'd highly recommend this property for a getaway.

This property is better than advertised!! So many things to do, while being tucked away among the trees with a beautiful creek in the back yard. A great place to escape the rat race yet close enough to great shopping and restaurants!! The whole family loved the game room, hot tub, fire pit and everything else to do on the property... so much to enjoy!! The owner was very responsive and ensured we had everything we needed. The house was well stocked, incredibly comfy and so relaxing. We highly recommend this property and we hope to come back soon!! Thank you so much!!

Lack of Resources

Mother Nature struck during our stay. A nasty thunderstorm rolled through and knocked out the power which turned off the water. We searched the house for candles, flashlights, batteries etc. and none to be found. We were not offered a solution from the owner for the lack of electricity and water. Needless to say we had to cut our trip short. We asked for a refund for The final night which we were not able to stay at the house. And were told that the owner is not responsible for inclement weather and would take our request for a refund into consideration. since then we have had no further communication. We also chose the property due to the outdoor amenities. We were looking forward to spending time outside and by the water. We had to physically clean the deck and furniture to be able to utilize the outdoor space because it was so dirty. We are long time VRBO users and this was first time we’ve been disappointed.

Great place to reconnect and recharge

The cabin was everything we hoped for. Each day was started with the sound of the rushing creek before we took our dog walking along the trails nearby. We loved the pool table and likely spent more time there than anywhere else in the house. The fire pit and hot tub were also a huge draw for us in the evenings. The cabin is perfectly located between downtown Ellijay and Blue Ridge which both have great dining and shopping.

Great family getaway

We had a wonderful stay at this property. The cabin was beautiful and very family friendly. We had a mix of adults, kids of various ages, and dogs, and everyone had a great time. The dogs loved splashing in the creek and the kids spent the much of their time outside exploring. Great location too -- nice and close to Ellijay, Blue Ridge, and hiking spots.

Christmas in the Mountains

House was great. A couple of minor hiccups with the oven due to power outages. If you want to go off the grid, this is the place. WiFi was a challenge, no cell setvice without WiFi communication. And let’s not forget to mention the extremely steep driveway and minimal parking! Going up the driveway was a bit terrifying if you are in an SUV. The master bedroom was cozy and the bed was comfortable. The other beds were extremely hard!! The owner, Steven, was very friendly and was always available if we had questions or concerns.

Great Mellow Spot

My wife and two dogs and I loved this cabin. Steve was a great host, very communicative and the cabin had everything we needed. The stream out back was the selling point for us and it did not disappoint. We spent a lot of time outside listening to the stream and playing in the water with the dogs. It is reasonably remote. There are neighbors but it felt very private. I would recommend this cabin for anyone wanting to check out and relax. The hot tub and full floor game room were awesome as well.
