                            My family and I stayed for a long weekend in April. The cabin was clean and comfortable. Screened front porch was awesome. It felt very secluded with very few cabins in sight. The owners were also great. Probably the best most well appointed kitchen that i have been in for a vacation rental! We will most definitely be returning. I have no complaints!

                            Recommended for: Adventure seekers, people with disabilities, families with teenagers, pet owners, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.

                            Owner response: Christy, thank you so much for your kind words. We love our kitchen, also. We stayed at the cabin for 9 months while we were building our present home close by. If I found that I had packed a kitchen tool that I needed, I did not want to suffer for several months , so I bought one for the cabin. It became VERY well equipped that way. Please come back any time. We would love to have you, Pam

                            This is the 4th time we have stayed at "My Back Porch' and we love this cabin! The pictures show exactly what you will get but probably don't do it justice. It is beautifully decorated with all the needed amenities! The owners Pam and Bob have exquisite taste and attention to detail. Our favorite areas are the back porch for breakfast and the fire pit for nightly bonfires. The fire pit has nice Adirondack chairs around it. The cabin is located in a gated community but sits at the highest point and you have nice mountain views. There are neighbors but they are not close by the house. Pam is very easy to work with and answer questions. She provides a book of ideas for nearby attractions and places to eat. We always go into the town of Blue Ridge to shop. We love Serenity Cafe for lunch. We also make a trip to Mercier's Orchard for the gift shop, apples, and ciders. We love the water falls in the area - Amicalola Falls, and Falls Branch Falls along Aska Road. Also go to Brasstown Bald for the views of 4 states atop the mountain. You will be happy with your choice if you choose 'My Back Porch'.

                            Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers, pet owners, romantic getaway, girls getaway.

                            Owner response: Kay, thank you for the kind words. It has been such a pleasure to be a part of your family's "memory book". And now you are bringing, not family, but friends to enjoy the serenity of My Back Porch. We love hosting you and hope you come back many times to your "home away from home". Pam

                            Wow!! The first word said upon entering. As lovely as the pictures are, they don't do the place justice. The furnishings, accessories, and Christmas decorations were just beautiful!! The cabin was stocked with everything you could possibly need and more. I loved the fact that we weren't hanging off a cliff like our previous visit to the mountains. My 4 yr. old was able to explore safely and without mom or dad having a heart attack. I thought I was imagining the deer with the red bow, since I had just woken up and was half asleep taking my dog out, but there she was..my husband's face was priceless when I told him. Until he saw her and realized I wasn't losing my mind. haha We had an absolutely magical time and only left to run to the store. It was so nice to have nothing on the agenda but relaxation. Thanks for ordering the snow flurries for our stay! haha It was truly magical! My husband and our little one never saw snow before (Floridians). Although, it was warm and toasty in the cabin our whole stay with the fireplace going and I refuse to wash the delightful smell out of my winter coat, by the way. During our stay, we played pool, or as my son says, "played pool table",sat on the back porch staring at the glorious view, roasted marshmallows in the fire pit, gathered kindling in the woods, sat on the swing, grilled, used the hot-tub..laughed so much getting in with a 2 piece swimsuit on in 30 degree weather (heavenly once in), cooked in the fab. kitchen, watched movies on the huge plasma, read an entire book, and just simply enjoyed the precious time with my family. It was hard to leave, but when we are able to return, we will be sure to stay at "My Back Porch!" Thanks Pam & Bob!!

We are so happy that you were able to take advantage of all of the cabin's amenities. I especially liked "playing pool table". Would love to have you visit again. Thanks so much for the kind words, Pam

                            This cabin is absolute amazing and the owners are very gracious. I would highly recommend this rental to anyone looking for a mountain vacation. We will certainly be back the next time the mountains are calling my name.

We would love to host you again! Come back in the summer when the mountain atmosphere is completely different, but just as inspiring.

We enjoyed hiking, playing pool and other games, cooking, making smores, enjoyed the hot tub, and just relaxing! We even got to see and pet the deer with the red bow around its neck! We will definitely be coming back! Thank you so much Pam and Bob for allowing us to stay at your wonderful cabin! We made so many memories and had so many laughs and good times this weekend!

I would love to take credit for the little deer, but I can't. So many guests have mentioned her! We are at the cabin now to decorate for our Christmas guests. We hope to be able to pet her too! Thank you for your kind words and please come back to enjoy the mountains with us.

                            "My Back Porch" is a beautiful home in a wonderful location. The mountain view and the privacy of the cabin gives you a peaceful and serene feeling. The only time we left was to go rafting on the Ocoee which is something you should do if you are in this area. The cabin was spotless and had everything you could possibly need for a fun time. The owners were great to work with. You will not be disappointed if you rent this cabin.

It is so rewarding to have guests say that the cabin was "enough" for a great vacation without stepping out the door. Please come back and enjoy the comforts of My Back Porch again. Pam and Bob

                            We rented this cabin for a girls' weekend, and it was the ideal place for us to stay. The cabin was clean (spotless), comfortable, beautifully decorated, and spacious. It is in a gorgeous location that is private and peaceful. It was GREAT! The owner couldn't have been nicer or easier to deal with. Our only complaint was that our stay wasn't long enough!

Questions and gave us suggestions on places to see and eat. There was even a fawn that came to visit and stayed with us for an hour or so. We'll look for. An opportunity to go back.)I

                            Our weekend spent at "My Back Porch" was wonderful. The pictures were an accurate representation of the cabin. We found everything just as described, the location was convenient to whitewater rafting and restaurants. The property owners were great to work with and very professional. We are already planning a return trip and recommending this property to our friends and family members.

                            My husband and I have stayed in many cabins in the Ellijay/Blue Ridge area but none can compare to My Back Porch. It is beautifully decorated, exceptionally clean, spacious, and the view is incredible. We could let our little dog relax on the deck area because it has a gate and there was no worry about her wandering off. We loved it! It is the perfect place to relax and recharge. We have already made reservations to return in October. Thanks, Pam, for allowing us to enjoy your beautiful cabin!

                            Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, age 55+, pet owners, romantic getaway, girls getaway.

                            Owner response: Sherry, we are pleased that the cabin was a good fit for your family, including the little one! Several guests have mentioned the gated deck as being convenient for not only their pets, but for young children. Can't wait to have you visit in October for a completely different and stunning mountain view. Pam

                          About the owner: Bob and Pam are retired baby boomers from West Virginia who wanted a bit of the mountain memories to be close at hand. We built our mountain cabin to 'return to our roots' and loved it so much we built our retirement home in the nearby mountain town of Jasper. We are close by for any emergencies, or for personal tips and recommendations. We are empty nesters, and with our only grandchild on the west coast, we have had to satisfy ourselves with lovin' our 2 papillons, Higgins and Moby (a rescue). They are much better looking than we are, so we have posted their picture here! We have furnished and decorated our cabin as if it were our full time home. We know you will love it as much as we do. Come see!

                          The Unique Benefits at this Cabin:
                          We love bird watching from the front porch, feeding the deer, and grilling to the beautiful sunsets. Quiet times on the back porch with our favorite beverage, the mountain views and and a dog in our lap is almost as great as sharing our mountain cabin with friends and family.
