great cabin in the mountains; getting there is tough!

Ruby Cabin was great, in a beautiful location, but getting there was tough! The roads are mostly single track and rutted; many places on the roads required greater clearance than our Toyota Camry which had the bottom scraped at several points. GPS only gets you to the entrance to the property; maps of the property have no road names so it's easy to get lost, especially after dark! The host was slow to communicate with and was rude about us going a few feet the wrong way on a one-way road in order to get back to our cabin. We were there for a wedding and associated activities, and we were not the only ones who had difficulty navigating.

A wonderful wedding weekend!

Chevin, our host was lovely! She was so accommodating and prompt in answering our questions. As the groom's parents, this cottage was just perfect for our family to stay at during our son's wedding weekend. It was a lovely cottage and provided everything we needed. It was wonderful to be on the property as it was so convenient to be near everything. The entire property is just beautiful and was idyllic for the wedding!

Amazing pre-wedding stay for groom!

My wife and I had our wedding ceremony at Splendor mountain, and I stayed at this cabin the night before, as well as using the cabin as a prep area for me and my groomsmen. The cabin itself was clean and very spacious. My groomsmen and I had plenty of room to relax, get dressed, take pictures and anything else we needed. Chevin, the owner, is a very sweet lady who was extremely helpful and easy to work with It was very peaceful at night! I would absolutely come back!

Thanksgiving

The host was very responsive. The property is wonderful and looks just like it is listed! My family enjoyed our first cabin trip. The only downfall was the wifi- we tried to watch the game on Thanksgiving day but the wifi reception was poor. This may be due to the location of the WiFi towers in the mountains

A very SPLENDID Splendor Mountain Family reunion!

What a beautiful, fun-filled mini family reunion we had this August... A whirlwind 22 of us, from ages 18 months to 75! The grounds and cottages Ruby & Sapphire were filled with joyful hoots n' hollers, play & comfort.. Our meals were delicious and picking up groceries from nearby Ingles/Walmart or any number of eateries in town, easy as pie/cakes. The weather a perfect late summer, balmy weekend.. There were different areas for the kids to swim, throw frisbees, play chase & catch. The cottages were perfect. moms and dads and kids and grands sleeping up to six in beds on the main floor & loft. The downstairs had game tables with lots of additional floor space to add a few blowup mattresses. There were also comfy beds for six and a full bathroom downstairs as well. Most of our meals were in the Sunrise Lodge, where there is a huge kitchen for cooking & eating lunch and dinner or preparing a picnic lunch if the families wanted to explore & hike. Our family had at least one big meal on Saturday there, with everyone bringing something yummy (I've never seen so much food!!).. We were having so much fun all day & night.. swimming, eating, talking & playing that we didn't have time to go up to the overlook for a bonfire & s'mores (next time!!). The lodge has a small fire pit, so everyone stayed at the lodge. There is also a walking labyrinth on the property for reflective & meditative relaxation. Most of all the time went so fast! We promised to organize another bigger family reunion for 2023 or 2024. In the meantime, we feel blessed that our dear sister hostess Chevin and nephew Uri and niece Rachael, have created, with such oving care & attention to detail, a very Splendid Splendor Mountain for the enjoyment of all who visit! We have so many photos & videos to enjoy & re-live our fantastic Woodruff-Illges gathering!

Bachelor Pad Success

My husband, his brother and nephew, his best friends, and my father and grandfather stayed in this cabin during our wedding week in Northern GA. They had the greatest time together in this cabin (from the sounds of it) and his best friends continously spoke praises about the quality of the lodging. Everyone was already planning to return again some time in the future for a weekend getaway as a group.

Perfect Christmas Vacation

Splendor Mountain was perfect for our family’s Christmas Vacation and celebration of my parent’s 40th Anniversary. The Ruby cottage was everything we needed and more. Spacious bedrooms, lounging areas, and a good sized kitchen. Chevin was always a phone call or text away to answer any of our questions. It was a lovely experience and we look forward to returning one day. BTW, photos will never do this place justice... you have to see it in person.

Great place for a large group

We stayed at Chevin’s property for our annual ladies’ group mountain trip. There were 9 of us and we had plenty of room in the Ruby cottage! It was so nice having plenty of beds available to sleep in. The view from the deck of the forest and mountain was beautiful! Chevin went out of her way to make sure we were comfortable! She was very responsive and accommodating to our requests. She even made a huge bonfire for us to enjoy one night! Our stay at the Ruby Cottage on Splendor Mountain will be a cherished memory. Be sure to arrive for your first night’s stay when it is daylight because driveway can be a little intimidating if you’re not familiar with it. It’s no problem after you drive it the first time .

Fantastic!

Chevin is the kindest, sweetest host. She is great at communicating and made our stay at her property extra special. Ruby Cottage was perfect for our large family. It was clean and had plenty of towels, kitchen items, and games/puzzles to play with. The property is gorgeous. The lake is so fun. Our teenagers had a blast! The state parks and waterfalls near the property were amazing. We even visited Goats on the Roof, which is very close to the property. On our last day, Chevin even invited us to her personal fire pit that overlooks the mountains. We roasted marshmallows and ate s’mores. It’s was simply perfect. She really is the kindest host we have ever met. She cares deeply and makes everyone feel at home. We can’t wait to go back again!
