The host was super responsive to all of our questions ahead of our stay. This cabin is a hidden gem. It was exactly what we were looking for. Hidden away in the woods. Very quiet and relaxing. The hot tub was great. Very clean and ready to go upon arrival. We may book another stay here next year!

My husband and I had a great time as it was a well deserved getaway. The cabin was quaint and decorated so cute. It was not far from downtown with access to all the great restaurants and lots of antique stores. We did have to reach out to the owner and she was very quick to respond and was very helpful.

Kimy was super easy to work with and communicated quickly. The bed in the Master was HEAVENLY!! We loved the privacy and quiet of the location. The cottage is far enough out of town to feel secluded, yet close enough to be in town within 10 minutes. There are lots of activities in town to go to. We also loved that it was pet-friendly. I gave a 4-star for cleanliness, mainly for the outside. The porch surrounding the cottage has not been cleaned in a while..It is covered with mold/mildew and needs a good scrub. The outdoor furniture was also spotted with mold/mildew, so there wasn't a space to relax outside. Overall, this place was PERFECT for a quiet getaway, and I would highly recommend it. We would definitely stay there again. Thanks for sharing your home with us!

Escape fireworks
As promised, the only fireworks heard were from the town celebration but far enough away to not be a problem. This was a first visit to Ellijay; very charming town and easy to get around. Visited Roo Vineyards, Ellijay Mushrooms and Cress Creek Farm made a delicious Shepherds pie from the ingredients I bought!! La Petite Maison was like a treehouse tucked into the woods we were happy hanging on the deck listening to the birds enjoying the peace and quiet, the lightning bugs and the fire pit. Cottage very charming and comfortable

Paradise in the woods
We absolutely loved this cottage. We felt at home. It had everything we could need. The bed was very comfortable. Loved all the small details throughout the cottage. The hot tub was perfect, loved seeing all the stars while we soaked. Host very responsive and gave so much information on the places we should check out. A MUST if visiting Ellijay area.

Absolutely wonderful!!
This little cottage couldn’t have been more cozy and perfect for our weekend getaway. Location is close to trails, wineries, and downtown Ellijay! But we had no problems staying in and utilizing the hot tub and back deck furniture and fire pit! We truly couldn’t have asked for a better and more hospitable experience. Highly recommend booking! You won’t be disappointed.

We had a wonderful time at the cottage! We enjoyed the hot tub and made a couple of dinners in the kitchen while we were here. Roo Vineyards winery is fantastic and we can’t wait to go again! We would love to stay at La Petite Maison again. It had everything we need.

Wonderful Cottage and Definitely Recommend
Loved staying here. It's close enough to Ellijay that you never feel that far from downtown, but far enough that you feel like you're actually in the midst of some quiet and countryside. Charming interior, comfortable furniture, and great back porch. It's a great spot!

Peaceful Mountain Hideaway
I spent six days at the cottage in July with my teenager and his friend. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The location is private, peaceful, and serene - highlight was a doe and her fawn on the hillside off the back porch. The bed was one of the most comfortable I’ve slept in for a long time, and the lush towels were a treat. It was great to be able to stay in and cook when we wanted, but also get into town in just a few minutes. It’s a beautiful spot.
Kimy is an amazing host - super responsive, friendly and knowledgeable. Thanks for hosting us!

10/10 will book again!
Our stay at La Petite Maison was nothing short of spectacular. The cottage was precious, clean & nestled back in the woods. The serene sounds of nature all around had to be my favorite part of the early morning and evening. We enjoyed every second spent here and will absolutely be booking again very soon. We brought our pups along (best decision we could’ve made.) Beautiful drive to downtown, plenty of great places to eat & explore. Kimy was such an amazing host!! She provided all sorts of recommendations as well as quick responses to any questions we had. Do yourself a favor when in the North Georgia mountains & book this cute cottage! Wishing we could give more stars!

Nicely Appointed Quiet Cottage
We enjoyed our stay immensely and would book again in the future. The cottage has been decorated and renovated in a thoughtful way. I particularly liked the view looking out the french doors into the trees. We had everything we needed to cook meals and relax. The hot tub was a nice amenity. The location is very convenient to downtown Ellijay. We enjoyed a daytrip to Blue Ridge as well. I appreciated that we had plenty of soft towels, robes and dedicated hot tub towels. The driveway is a bit of a challenge, might be better suited to 4 wheel drive types.

Rustic gem
Cute rustic cabin, really had everything you need. Killer porch/ balcony on 2 sides. Driveway is iffy, but was able to get in and out. Overall very quaint mountain cabin in a beautiful setting.
