Family Wedding Weekend
The Owls Nest was the perfect place for our family. Some flew in to Atlanta and some drove in from South Carolina. Ranger was the perfect mid point for meeting up with our Auburn family as well! The house was the perfect size for many adult children and the older generation parents. The hot tub, game room and beautiful view kept everyone happy! The open kitchen and king room was perfect for family food prep. We hope to return for more family reunions.

Cabin giving family get away
Everyone enjoyed their getaway to the mountains (first time for some) we all had a wonderful time making new memories, we spent a day in downtown Ellijay visiting all the shops and trying some wine. Our host was amazing and very helpful with ideas and recommendations which was very much appreciated

Perfect Location For Family Getaway
Cabin was really great for our mixed group. Was nice to have plenty of space for everyone to be comfortable. Having an elderly parent with a main floor bedroom and walk-in shower was the icing on the cake! Location was great although you definitely want to be in when it gets dark. Beautiful morning sunrise view was nice as well.
Owner is really nice to deal with. Had some minor things come up and she responded really quickly. If you want s nice quiet place close to orchards, wineries, and parks, this is the place!

Beautiful weekend in the mountains
5 of us stayed here for a girls weekend away from the city. The views were stunning, the house was emmacculate, and we all enjoyed having our own large beds and almost all of our own bathrooms. It was well stocked with dishes and gadgets. We didn't quite realize from the listing how many twists and turns and hills were involved to get to the house once we entered the sub. In winter months you would probably need 4x4 vehicles. Not a huge problem, but it did make us hesitant to venture out. Fortunately we brought more than enough food and drinks to stay busy. Knowing this all now, we'd stay here again on a weekend where we're just looking to stay put.

Private cabin, lots of private space
This cabin, like most, is up a winding road mountain with a steep driveway but has hood curb appeal & an easy check on procedure. The pond/stream is a drive away, and that is where we saw deer. The water heater & heat/ac was a bit unregulated for our group, and sharing a couch & tv was laborious. The beds were comfortable & our basic needs were definitely met. The owner was prompt & clear about everything we needed to know & checking out was a breeze.
