The most consistent reaction we have from guests, family and friends is that Wagon Wheel Ridge is far more beautiful than they expected. Pictures don’t do it justice. Beautiful, private setting. Beautifully landscaped and decorated. There is something for both him and her. She will appreciate the tasteful and well-appointed rooms. He will appreciate the hint of cowboy and farm (We “just said no” to the moose & bear motif.) Both will appreciate the private, cozy, quiet, natural setting. You will simply enjoy! WWR is fun, relaxing, beautiful, serene, exciting, peaceful, private. It is close to nature, quaint, cozy, comforting. There is a warmth that is hard to put into words, that you cant see in pictures.
Wagon Wheel Ridge is a little bit country, a little bit western. Its got a touch of cowboy and a hint of the farm. It has the feel of an elegant ranch line cabin tucked away in the hills. If you are looking for an extraordinary, peaceful, private and relaxing getaway, We'd love to have ya' drop by!
On vacation in the mountains…Its All About The HOT TUB and The View…and we’ve got more than just a hot tub. We have a Hot Tub Pavilion with its own relaxing, laid-back seating area perfect for gathering under the ceiling fan and chatting with your friends in the tub. The tub itself is a 6 seat Gulf Coast Spa LX5000 with lights, waterfall, and aromatherapy. And...drum roll please...we positioned the hot tub and raised it off the ground so you can enjoy the mountain view from the tub...you can truly soak it all in.
Do you want a getaway that sticks with you for weeks. A vacation experience you cant help but tell your family and friends about? This is the place. Right here. Enjoy a week or a weekend - grillin', chillin', hiking, biking, kayaking. Or just snuggle in watching your favorites - sports, movies, classic TV - or maybe some quiet time, catching up on some reading.
Downstairs we have a comfy-cozy Living Room, Media Room, and Dining Room area defined by custom-made, absolutely one-of-a-kind door and window trim. Look closely at the pictures from those rooms! The warm ambiance it creates is almost indescribable. If you like beautiful handmade artistry...it alone is worth coming to see. Also you will find hand-scraped solid oak floors throughout this area.
The Living Room has a large mountain-view picture window, wood-burning fireplace and loads of cowboy cool, which continues right on into the Media Room. There you can enjoy the game in sheer audio and visual pleasure on the Sony 40" HD LCD TV and 5.1 Sony Home Theatre System with Boston Acoustic speakers & subwoofer.
We provide Dish Network Satellite TV reception in the Media Room, both downstairs bedrooms and the Teen Loft. The Media Room and the Master Bedroom both have a HD TV, and all four TVs have recording capability to record your shows while you are out.
The kitchen has an enormous cast iron farm sink, beautiful custom made French country distressed finish cabinets with tear drop glass doors. Frigidaire electric range and ceramic stovetop, microwave, and dishwasher, a side-by-side Bosch refrigerator, and various small appliances for your convenience.
We have two beautifully decorated bedrooms and two cute-as-can-be bathrooms downstairs; then we have a darn nice teen loft with half-bath and one queen and one twin bed. Plus the loft has three built-in cushioned benches for lounging, though they are not setup for sleeping.
From the front porch you can see for miles. The view is sweetly framed by the split-rail cedar fence and the close-by trees, creating an effect that is hard to duplicate. Off one end of the front porch are stairs and a walkway that lead you to the Hot Tub Pavilion. At the other end of the front porch is the deck. The deck has a stainless steel propane gas grill for quick and easy grillin', plus a large square dining table (square makes it easy to talk & pass the groceries) and cushioned seating for eight. And that's not all ...another drum roll please...you can soak up a little mountain sun, touch up your tan, and get your Vitamin D!!! We've got two fully cushioned chaise lounges that face in just the right direction.
Outside, we have beautiful natural landscaping and a paved basketball court for the kids and/or adventuresome adults. We also have an outdoor fire-pit. We supply the wood - you supply the common sense and don't set the woods on fire.
Details matter, and we have put extra attention in appointments and furnishings, from the linens to the wall decor. For all beds we use Jamison Resort Foam 5-Star Mattresses and high thread count sheets. In both downstairs bedrooms we use extra plush 80 ounce luxury carpet and heavy padding. We even use Italian decorative iron with an embossed vineyard grain for the porch & deck pickets.
Wagon Wheel Ridge is only about 12 miles from Ellijay in Gilmer County, Georgia, the Apple Capital of Georgia. Ellijay is home to the Apple Festival held two weekends in October. There are Apple Houses along the highways with fresh and canned produce, gifts, baked goods, and other treats. Ellijay has numerous antique shops, art galleries, and restaurants. Wagon Wheel ridge is also convenient to Amicalola Falls, Dawsonville, Dahlonega, and Blue Ridge, each with their own attractions. Go antiquing to your heart's content or ride the scenic railway in Blue Ridge. Visit the North Georgia Premium Outlet stores & the Georgia Racing Hall of Fame in Dawsonville. Pan for gold & shop antiques in Dahlonega. Yee Haw!

What a find!

This was even nicer than we expected and a perfect spot for a young family. It was immaculate, beautifully appointed, and comfortable inside and the views were breath-taking. Our kids enjoyed the teen loft and games upstairs, the basketball court, the large hot-tub with views of the mountain, and the fire pit outside. (They really loved the friendly neighborhood dogs that visited too!) The road up to the property is a bit rough, but worth the climb for the views. It was convenient to the Kanagaroo Conservation Center, Amicalola Falls and Springer Mountain, but we really felt like we were away from it all once we got back. The owner was very responsive and helpful. It was great visit and we highly recommend it!

We have stayed many places with VRBO and I must say that WWR was just heaven on earth. The quality of craftmanship and appointments on the cabin is exceptional. No detail has been overlooked!! My children loved the basketball court and hiking through the woods. Great spot, great home and Steve was wonderful. I highly suggest this cabin and hope to return soon.

We truely enjoyed our stay at WWR. The location is secluded enough to allow you soak in the nature around you, but close enough to everything that you are only a few minutes away. There is much to do within 40 minutes of WWR or you can just spend time taking in the beauty of the area. The view is stunning and we felt like we were getting the taste of autumn we have been missing. The lodge itself is great. Everything you could want or need is right there. Beautifully maintained and ready to go when you walk through the door. We highly recommend WWR for anyone looking for a quiet place to escape.

Beautiful home with extreme attention to little details that make this a home to return to! Perfect for a romantic getaway or small family. Two beautifully appointed bedrooms. Luxurious loft space for young children. Spectacular outdoor spaces for socializing or just absorbing the views. We loved listening to music on deck speakers while we grilled dinner or played cards. Furniture is beautiful and comfortable. Beds are luxurious and very comfy! Kitchen has great pots, pans, and dishes--everything you need if you choose to cook. Home provides seclusion and relaxation but gives easy access to many mountain towns and attractions. Relax in the hot tub under beautiful pavilion with twinkling lights. Rock away your stress on front porch while taking in the beauty of the natural and man-made surroundings. Play a little basketball on your own concrete pad. Build a fire in the burn pit or hike and explore the surrounding woods. In season, build a fire and just chill out. Watch tv or DVDs in media area or bedrooms. Just relax! We had such a great time with our daughter and son-in-law! We are looking forward to many return visits!

Very Relaxing Weekend

We stayed at WWR for our 4th anniversary and had a great trip. The views from the cabin are very good and reminded us of home, as we previously lived close to the Smoky Mountains in Tennessee. We enjoyed the peacefulness and privacy that this setting offered. Everything in the cabin was nicely done, and we could tell the owners paid attention to details from the design to the appliances. We definitely want to come back for another trip and would recommend it to others.

The Wagon Wheel Ridge is the perfect cabin for a getaway vacation. The cabin is beautiful, has all the amenities, is secluded, has a wonderful view of the mountains, yet it is cozy and makes you feel like you are at home. The inside of the cabin is spacious and accommodates plenty of guests. We had 6 adults staying in the cabin and we were very comfortable. The outside of the cabin is just a spacious, with large porches, lots of chairs, and a hot tub. There are lots of recreational activities in the area including hiking, waterfalls, tubing, and white water rafting. The hot tub is perfect after a day of outdoor activities for relaxing. The cabin as a whole is gorgeous and once you get there you will not want to leave!

We had an awesome weekend at Wagon Wheel Ridge. My husband and I have rented several properties from VRBO and this by far was the best. The view was absolutely amazing. The house was spotless, all the decor was high quality. They have really paid attention to detail; even provided robes to go back and forth to the hot tub in. We would not hesitate to recommend this rental to friends and family.

We had a fantastic time at this cabin. It was very cozy and private. It had everything you would need for a weekend stay: great beds, fully equiped kitchen, great tv and sound system, and wonderful scenery. We would stay here again. Fantastic for a quick get-a-way.

This "cabin" is more like a very comfortable modern mountain home with all the amenities. Situated on the side of the mountain w/ views to die for, this is the perfect place to rest and relax. The bed was comfy, place exceptionally clean and many extras provided. The outdoor hot tub with mountain view made it complete. We couldn't have been more pleased. The gravel road wasn't as difficult to maneuver with my Toyota Camry as I expected--made it right up with no problems. It was close enough to tourist attractions and hiking yet far enough to feel remote. Our only complaint was having to leave and return home to reality.
