You can’t always get what you want, but sometimes you get what you need! Rolling Stones.

It was an impromptu idea to stop in GA mtns on our way home from Branson. Last minute reservations, so slim pickings. We so lucked out being able to reserve a 2 bedroom, 1 bath in East Ellijay. Reserved 3 nights but were fortunate to reserve one more night!

4th of July Getaway

Cute cabin, good location. Specifically rented this cabin due to its privacy and being dog friendly. Clean inside, outside could use some work. Nice touches including spare dog leash, food and water bowls. S’mores kit left by cleaning crew but we did not use it since the fire pit had trash in it upon check in. If you plan on streaming (fubo, Netflix), forget it. Internet was a problem and went out several times during our stay. Beds hard as rocks. If you like super firm beds, this cabin is for you. Porch ceiling fan did not work and falling a part. Brought 2 meals to grill but guess what, grill didn’t work either. Contacted the host who responded promptly by saying it would be addressed. Didn’t explore area behind cabin due to it being overgrown and snake season. Not handicap accessible for any who are considering. Cabin had a for sale sign in the yard during our stay. Overall a nice stay with easy check in process but needs some major updates!

DO NOT STAY HERE

Grass was waist high & I was afraid to walk dog. Outside space was so dirty with debris, dirt, bugs, spiders hanging in webs all over the porch and walkway, windows filthy inside & out and thresholds thick with dirt and bugs. I have pictures & video. The Gas Grill, the outside ceiling fan & toaster - didn’t work. BR ceiling fans both rocked so badly & so loud you couldn’t use them to sleep & afraid they would literally fall. Only One bathroom & the exhaust fan doesn’t work. Half the lightbulbs are missing. Garbage from last guests was obviously left in outside garbage can, like you’re asked to do, but when we arrived the garbage can was turned over and trash strewn everywhere. My husband had to clean it up. The fire pit was so full you would have to clean it out to use it and some of the furniture around the fire pit looked like it had been pulled out of a dumpster and left there. This was our 40th anniversary If the property owner is personally taking care of this property, they should be ashamed. When you pull up, it looks abandoned. Road washed out & rutted. You need a 4 WD to get to the cabin. You’re not told that when you book your dates only when they send your check-in info and have your money. If they are paying someone to keep up the property, they need a new service. It wasn’t cheap and wasn’t worth it. I have pictures to prove it and several videos but you can’t post videos here.

Secluded cabin to get away from it all

Spent 3 nights for a restful weekend with my sister. This house was a great oasis--we didn't leave until check out. Small issue checking in, as we weren't sure we were at the right house & door code didn't work. Smart TVs were easy to use. Recommend that they add the number to the house and tighten the ceiling fans inbedrooms.bedroom

Quiet - serene and dog friendly

We did just a quick getaway for our anniversary but we will definitely be back when we can spend more time. View was worth the trip let alone the actual cabin and the responsiveness of the host. Love hearing the wildlife and the walls in the woods with the dog.

Week Getaway to Ellijay

This place was AMAZING! Between the beauty of the property, the amenities, and the super cool layout of the cabin, our stay was perfect. We checked out some of the nearby tourism sights and we were not disappointed. The host was super friendly and did check ups to see if there was anything was needed. We had an amazing time and definitely would love to visit in the future! It was fantastic!!
