Great experience!

We had a great time. The cabin was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay. We loved that the area was so peaceful and quiet. My kids absolutely loved that they could get in the river or fish just steps from the back door. Having a foosball table upstairs was a nice touch! If you’re coming to visit the apple houses in Ellijay, they are just a few minutes away.

Perfect Getaway Retreat

I planned a surprise getaway weekend with my wife in the North Georgia Mountains, and we found a riverside home that was absolutely perfect for relaxing and recharging. The check-in and check-out process was seamless, and a thoughtful welcome booklet provided all the details needed for a great stay.Ellijay and the surrounding areas are stunning, with plenty to explore. We loved the local restaurants, charming shops, and the variety of wineries nearby.The home is ideal for couples or families seeking a cozy retreat with lots of wildlife joining in on the fun. It offers plenty of amenities and a well-designed layout. There’s a fun gaming area for kids, opportunities for fishing, or simply enjoying a cookout and sitting around a fire outside.We’re already planning our next visit. Huge thanks to the hosts!

Treacherous driveway, even for full size SUV, never been I a VRBO or any other rental property without a dishwasher not even a scrub brush, no knives for cutting food, minimal dishes. Very loud neighbors,Will never stay there again. Really disappointed in Evolve Property Management.
