We enjoyed staying in this cabin. The location was great for going in to Ellijay downtown and for exploring the hiking trails and wineries nearby. We loved the backyard and fire pit area. The kitchen was well stocked and we cooked a few dinners there. The outside lights were very helpful and appreciated.

My husband and I, our two small dogs stayed at Gunsmoke Cabin as a last minute booking. The cabin was perfect, meeting all of our needs. The cabin was stocked with all the extras in case you forget something - even floss piks! The king size bed was super comfy. Loved the decor. The fenced back yard was convenient for the pups. The owner was pleasant and responded to our questions in a timely manner. Close to several hiking trails. A perfect spot to relax and enjoy nature. We will stay here again.

The peaceful surroundings made it a perfect getaway from the city. We especially enjoyed the outdoor space—whether it was sipping coffee on the porch or stargazing at night. The host was responsive and provided everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking to relax and recharge!

Secluded getaway

Amazing host and property! Loved our stay at Gunsmoke. We used it as a landing spot to travel all over northern Georgia. Honestly would have loved to spend more time relaxing in this beautiful little cabin. Would recommend an AWD vehicle to get up the steep, gravel road to the property.
