Almost perfect
The cabin was clean and nicely updated. The host was very responsive and helpful. My only concern were the stairs to the lower level. They are very steep but that is not mentioned in the description of the property. If you have anyone with even slight mobility issues those stairs are not doable. We had to adjust our sleeping arrangement for those that could not manage them.
Otherwise, it’s a sweet cabin that is warm and cozy.

Short stay in Ellijay
The entire short trip was great. The cabin was as described and very clean and location was great. Communication with hosts was very easy and quick response back. I wish we had more time to take advantage of the pool and fishing. We took day trips and did not have time to check everything out. We hope to go back perhaps in the fall.

Perfect Mountain Getaway
We adored Whiskey Cheeks! The rental was clean, comfortable, and perfect for our family! The kids enjoyed the shuffle board and foosball table and found several games to play in our free time. And we loved hanging out in the hot tub while it rained! We visited the outdoor pool and playground one afternoon and it was lovely. We highly recommend this rental. I bet it would be amazing in the winter!
