Our stay was really great. Pictures were the same as online. Beautiful. Prior to arriving i asked about things to do and the host sent a list of things. That was awesome. Plus the books on the table helped alot. Fantastic idea. Shops are close to dwntwn and nice places to eat. Blueridge was close by and we had a wonderful time sightseeing. Coming off the paved road onto the gravel was a bit scary. But not too bad because the cabin was right there in sight. If paving going onto the property was ever on the owners mind, that would be a bonus i think for your customers. It is a nice drive but winding roads, wow. We didn't like driving up there at night guy's. Overall, it was really nice and relaxing. I think anyone would enjoy it!

Wonderful cabin close to everything!

In 2007 my husband and I stayed in this cabin and he loved it so much he wanted me to find it again. I was luckily able to locate it. This cabin has had many excellent improvements since our first stay. The finished basement is a lovely space and I was fascinated with the LED fireplace. The view was impressive and we saw the sun set from each deck. Getting to Ellijay and Blue Ridge was a snap. We had a wonderful time!

A hidden gem in Ellijay

We had a great time at this cabin. It's in a fantastic location nestled in the woods, but close enough to stores to buy any and all necessities. The neighboring cabins are strategically placed so you have a great sense of privacy and a beautiful view of the mountains. The cabin was exceptionally clean and beautiful, exactly as pictured. We can't wait to book another stay here!
