We enjoyed our stay very much. The outdoor surroundings were so peaceful, tranquil & relaxing. The cabin was clean & spacious as well as conveniently located to everything. We enjoyed chilling in the hot tub, playing Pool /Ping-Pong, sitting by the river & watching the deer graze. Plus, the host was great to communicate with me whenever I had questions.

The cabin was so beautiful! From the time we arrived until the time we left there were deer walking through the property it was so neat to just sit back on the porch and watch. The location was perfect and easy to get to and from everything. Definitely recommend Dahlonega Downtown, Elijah Downtown, Amicola Falls, Cohutta Overlook and Reece’s cider to name a few. We will definitely be back! The McRorie’s

The property is in a good location close to Ellijay. It was nice that each level had its own thermostat and bathroom. The kitchen had everything that you would need. Wonderful view of the river. The home does need a good deep cleaning. There was dust piled up on the basement steps in the corners that had been there for a while, spiders in the basement bathroom along with dead bugs. The outside deck needs to be pressure washed and the chains/railing down the steps to the river need to be tightened for safety. The area close to the river around the firepit needs to be kept up better/mowed/weed eat.

Lovely home near Ellijay

We attended a wedding in Ellijay and this home was perfect for our family. The home had 4 bedrooms and a sleeper sofa. The bedroom on the bottom floor was perfect for my son and daughter-in-law because they have an infant. They were able to put him down for naps there away from all of the distractions. The river was lovely and there are lots of deer and other wildlife. We also enjoyed the hot tub and outdoor fireplace. Would love to stay here again.

We loved our stay! Beautiful cabin!Everyone enjoyed the game room.. steps leading from cabin to water were somewhat steep, we all managed fine, but would be difficult for elderly. Also, we would have enjoyed getting in the water, but too much of an embankment. Loved seeing all the deer & their fawns!!

Family Thanksgiving Getaway!!

Our family went and each of us had our own privacy if needed. The grand children had so much fun in the hot tub while we sat by the fireplace close by. I would highly recommend this place. Matter of fact, that is what my family said too. We saw deer every morning and late afternoon and hearing the water flow from the stream was relaxing. Super nice Thanksgiving time.

Wonderful Weekend!!

Stayed at this incredible cabin for a long weekend - there were 8 of us (our adult children with spouses) - just can't say enough about this cabin and the time we had. Everything from the initial communication with Jonathan through leaving the cabin at the end of our stay was extremely easy. Highlights - the firepit next to the river, the hot tub, the outside fireplace, kitchen (+ outside grill), the expanse of the cabin, bedrooms and bathrooms - all were fabulous and made our time together very special and memorable. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

We stayed at this property Thursday through Sunday. The cabin is beautiful. The beds were surprisingly comfuly. Kitchen was stocked well! Had fun with the pool table and ping pong too! Beautiful property right on the river. Even has tubes for tubing . Relaxed in the hot tub in the evening. Close to town. Saw deer playing in the yard. Was everything we hoped for and more!

Great, quant spot!

This cabin is a great stay. The neighborhood is nice, quiet, and easy to get to. The cabin handled 4 couples with ease and comfort. Plenty of supplies and room for all. The entertainment downstairs was exceptional and fun. The hottub was clean, warm and enjoyable. We truly enjoyed every aspect of this place, for a great price.Our only minor negatives would be: 1) The fire pit area is not for the faint of heart.. emphasis on faint! It’s quite the walk down there albeit the really only viable spot on the property and we still enjoyed it. 2) The front door has a security camera that faces the hot tub area. It would be preferred to not have the discomfort of such camera while in bathing attire.

Very nice home and location. Property needed mowing, bed linens were very dirty and needed washing. Fire pit not cleaned out. No safe access to river. Feel if there's a cleaning crew, they aren't doing the job, nor communicating with owner. Owner needs more "hands-on" with property.

Amazing weekend trip!

We had a great time staying here, although the night before we headed up to Ellijay there was a storm that came through and nocked out all the power, the host Johnathan kept us updated on everything and made sure we were all set for our stay. There were definitely some upgrades around the house we would recommend like the main floor bathroom toilet seat was broken and the house had some cobwebs like no one had been through in a bit. The back yard on the way down to the river was VERY steep, my mother with feet problems was only able to stay on the stairs and couldn't go further due to how steep and rocky the trail down the fire pit was. You also couldn't get into the water very easily, we didn't get in because we knew we couldn't have gotten back up. Overall the stay was amazing, we loved playing pool and ping pong downstairs and relaxing in the hot tub!
