The cabin was outstanding! The decor was homey, the kitchen well fully equipped and the beds were comfortable! The screened in porch overlooking the bubbling creek was so nice in the mornings. The fireplace was the best in the evenings; wood is sold everywhere like Walmart & Home Depot. Plenty of hiking trails around and antique malls to get lost in. I absolutely adored this cabin and will definitely come back next time I am in Northern Georgia. Do not hesitate to book this gem!

Everything was great about the place, cozy and warm. The parking was challenging for a 8' bed f 350, other than that the short stay was great and just what we wanted from a mountain cabin.

We loved our stay at the cabin! It was tucked away and had everything we needed. We loved the indoor fire place and that the kitchen had everything we needed (but bring your own spices). The cabin is off a gravel road so be ready for a bumpy ride in-it was the perfect distance from hiking and Ellijay (grocery store). The beds were comfy and the shower got hot-we also loved that we could wash our clothes from the hiking.Thank you for having the perfect spot for our family and pup!

The cabin was just as the pictures showed. The rooms were clean when we arrived, we didn’t cook but the kitchen had everything we would have needed. We couldn’t get logged in on the wifi and had to contact the host and they took care of this issue quickly. We loved the back porch, sitting in the rocking chairs listening to the creek below. So quite and serene. If you want to get away and disconnect this was the perfect place to do so. It was close to Ellijay and Blue Ridge, plenty of shopping and restaurants. We even went to the movie theater. It’s nice to get away from the city and be in such beautiful surroundings.
