We love this community. Rent here every fall. First time at this property and we throughly enjoyed our stay. So many things here to entertain the grandkids. I especially loved the upstairs gathering area. A great space to getaway and read. The best bedding I’ve found in a rental. A nice touch!

Loved the layout of the home and all the extra touches. The kitchen, bedrooms, & bathrooms were well stocked and thoughtfully furnished. Kiddo loved the Lincoln logs - we loved the large table outside on the balcony , sitting areas, the fireplace, the views and the beautiful nature. The driveway was a challenge but we figured it out. The host was attentive as well. Would highly recommend the house for family and/or a friend gathering. We were close to Ellijay and Blue Ridge, Amicola Falls and apple orchards.

Kitchen was fully stocked with spices and utensils needed for cooking. House had 2 fireplaces. One inside and one outside. We loved the outside fireplace and had a fire each night we were there. Spacious bedrooms. Grandson loved the game room! Fully stocked with games for him! The only drawback was the driveway. It was steep. Thankfully we didn’t get out but one day to go to the apple festival.

Mountain Memories

Unfortunate initial introduction- extremely rude gate guard. Local deer population greeted us along the narrow mountain road! Navigating the driveway was a thrill! The house was more than expected! Welcoming, beautifully decorated, wonderfully stocked kitchen. All ages of our family enjoyed it immensely!

Cleaning

We were disappointed with some of the way the place was cleaned. I asked for a refund on the cleaning since we had to clean for over an hour before enjoying the place. I was told it was a different place to call. I feel if your the owner you should have the responsibility to make sure it was done or compensate the renter who has pictures the cleaning was not acceptable

Beautiful cabin on the river

Stayed for a weekend with 6 adults and 5 kids. Cabin was beautiful, spacious, and very clean. Had lots of toys, and cooking supplies, and towels. We had no problem with the dirt road and driveway with our van and small sedan. Being able to walk down and splash in the river was awesome, but they was some mild climbing involved to get in and out. Pools and parks of the resort were also great, but that was extra actions/fees. Host was communicative and helpful and checkin and out was easy

Heaven

This place is amazing! We spent 7 nights with our family and had a great time. The cabin inside was very clean. I needed to contact the host for a few items and very responsive. The river was easy to get in and enjoy! There were six of us and always felt you had space. Huge cabin inside! Will be back next summer and again, I would recommend this to everyone!!!!

Home Away From Home

This property was a home away from home for myself and my extended family for our Thanksgiving vacation. After familiarizing ourselves with the ins and outs of everything we settled in and felt right at home. There were 10 of us ranging in age from 9 to 75 and the cabin had plenty of room for us to feel comfortable for the week. The neighborhood was secluded and quiet and offered tranquility and nature. The kitchen is very well equipped with everything (and more) that we needed for cooking twice a day and Thanksgiving. The fireplace on the porch and the hot tub were two amazing features! Being from Florida we needed time and practice adjusting to the one lane road and steep driveway but they were not deterrents to us having the best week ever. The owners were very responsive and great hosts. We would love to stay again in the future!

Family adventures

The whole family absolutely loved our time spent on property. The cabin had everything we needed to make great memories. Seeing the deer throughout the community made the drive up the mountains road worth it for this Florida family. Hummingbirds visited every morning while enjoying our coffee on the balcony. Couldn’t ask for anything more, except to stay longer.

Sweetest Host Ever!

Our Christmas gift to our grown children and grandchildren was renting this cabin in Ellijay. We had 9 Adults and 10 kids (ages newborn to 10) and had a fabulous time. The cabin is beautiful. The extras (toys, dishes, firewood, etc.) were incredible. The fireplace on the porch with a view of the river was amazing!
