Beautiful home with stunning views

We loved every minute of our stay in this gorgeous home. It really is as beautiful as it looks in the photos. The home is extremely well equipped and we did not want for anything, the housekeeper does a great job and I don't think we have ever stayed anywhere that has provided so many amenities for our use. The location is great, private and secluded but not too far to great stores and restuarants. The views are simply amazing - do not miss the sunrise. We have never seen anything like it, absolutely stunning. We are grateful to Rachel & Wes for sharing their beautiful home with us and it really is a home from home, nothing is forgotten. Did I mention the fantastic games room and hot tub and all the space, my teenage boys loved it, so did the grandparents, so did we and so did our dogs :) we would love to go back as soon as we can.

The cabin exceeded all our expectations and looks even better when you arrive than the pictures on the site. There is something for everyone to do on a rainy day and the view from the deck never gets old! The owners are friendly and accommodating and respond promptly to any communication. This trip was memorable for the entire family, thanks in no small part to our wonderful accommodations.

We are Really Going to Come Back

We have said this a few times before after cabin stays but this time we really mean it. We have developed a few must haves in our cabins and this one had ever one of them. Although it is just my wife and I with 2 dogs, we prefer a good sized cabin. A great view, pool table, and multiple TVs including one in the master bedroom are also essential. We had talked to the owner last year but chose a nice cabin in northeast GA instead. When we began to look for this year's trip we remembered the conversation with the owner and the appeal of the cabin. Everything with the booking and payment of the trip was very professional and easy to complete. As we drove through the gate of this very well kept and appealing mountain community we felt confident that we had made an excellent choice. As you enter the cabin you immediately feel comfortable in the home. The home was very clean and free of much of the clutter you see in some cabins. Once you get a look at the views you know you know you are not want to leave at the end of the week. We have only good things to say about the cabin. Everything you see in pictures and in the other reviews are accurate. Even though you are in a mountain community the houses are not bunched together but you feel safer because of the quality of the neighborhood and the gate at the main entrance. We have already looked at dates in February for a return but all the weekends are already booked. We have stayed in many cabins but don't think you will find a better quality cabin at this price anywhere else. One final note we really liked the location, just a few minutes to grocery stores and there is a Dollar General even closer in case you forget something. Ellijay and Blue Ridge are both easy drives with plenty of outdoor areas close by as well.

Loved your place! Very clean, excellent view, wonderful and comfortabale furnishings! Plenty of room for everyone, the foosball and pool tables were a bonus and the hot tub was wonderful! Only "drawback" was also the best thing.....the entrance/driveway was steep, allowing for the stunning view!

This home is a beautiful mountain retreat designed for large families. The multiple levels offer 4 private bedrooms plus some additional sleeping space if needed. The gameroom offers pool, air hockey, and satellite TV. The large dining table seats 8 and the leather sofas in the family room face a large flat screen TV and fireplace. We spent alot of time on the wrap around deck and enjoyed the large outdoor rock firepit. The owner provided for all our needs and was prompt in answering any of our questions before we rented. We hope to visit again.

Our stay was very enjoyable at your spacious and comfortable cabin. Family lives there and it was so nice for them to come and visit me. The view is just incredible. At least 7 mountain ranges from your wrap around deck.

Beautiful and Balanced

Our group of three adults and two kids (ages 6 and 10) thoroughly enjoyed our stay. On the outside you will find the beauty of the scenery that I imagine folks staying in the fall will find to be even more enjoyable. What one finds on the inside are clean, well-kept accommodations that will appeal to the diverse interests of any family or group. The fully finished basement is a child's (of any age) delight. Some can be playing the video games, while others are playing pool or air hockey and anyone else is watching the ball game. The main floor could then accommodate the group that prefers watching a movie, or playing some card games at the elevated kitchen table. Want some solitude . . . then mosey upstairs to the loft where there is no TV, but plenty of books and comfortable reading places and a couple of bedrooms if you want to take a nap. When you go outside, the same is true of the deck. There is plenty of room to gather for grilling, eating or having fun in the hot tub. But if you prefer some alone time for reflection, you can find a little nook on the deck that allows that as well. That is why the beauty and the balance struck me as apt descriptions. Finally, the owners were a delight to work with and though we did not have a lot of questions, they were helpful both by e-mail prior to leaving and even by phone upon arrival. Oh yeah, if you are a runner, you won't have to go far to get your "hill workout" . . . just get to the end of the driveway and take off. In that regard do be aware that there is rather steep incline getting to the cabin and thus a similar decline when you leave. It is all paved, so that won't be a problem - just know that is there. As far as nearby attractions, Fun World in Young Harris is about an hour away - it is a little drive, but our kids will tell you it was worth it - fun for those playing and reasonable for those paying.

This listing is so wonderful, I would rather give it bad ratings so no one else can use it! That way we will always be able to get the dates we want to book! We were very pleased with the accurate directions to the Mountain home. The bedrooms were all furnished with nice linens, and comfortable beds. The bathrooms were an asset. Most Mountain homes do not have bath rooms on all levels. Three and a half bathrooms was a plus! All the furnishings were very nice. We didn't use the hot tub because our weather was not the best, but we will on our next visit. We were very pleased at how clean everything was! It was nice that the local grocery store was so close. We feel our group has found a new location to make memories! Thanks to the owners for allowing us to enjoy their beautiful home!

I can not even put into words how much my family and I enjoyed our stay at the cabin. As stated in previous comments, the pictures do not do it justice for the true beauty. Community is very quiet. The views are amazing!!! The cabin was very well-equipped also. We had a chance to make some great smores on the outdoor fire pit. The children (including my husband) loved the air hockey table and pool table especially! We hope to come back in the summer for warmer activities.

If you like to watch stunning sun rises over looking mountains, then this cabin is the place to go. The wrap around deck and the beautiful scenery add to a very relaxing time. If you like having fun, the cabin has a pool table, hot tub, air hockey, fireplace, outside grill and an outside fire pit. The owners think of everything for your comfort including listing restaurants in the area. The cabin looks brand new and even the beds are excellent. My wife and I and our friends are already looking forward to returning.

Wes and Rachel, the weather was perfect to enjoy your cabin. The view was awesomeas were the amenities. We enjoyed toasting marshmallows over the fire pit, made some of the best steaks from the nearby Ingles, but most of all enjoyed the view from the deck. The pictures don't do it justice. Thanks for letting us enjoy your place, Liz and Tim

I recently celebrated my 29th birthday in Ellijay and we had a blast staying at Rachel & Wes's brand new cabin! There was several of us and it was very spacious for couples and singles. We made the most of it....bbqing on the grill, hanging out on the porch with an awesome view, swiming in the hot tub underneath the stars, watching football, and visiting nearby pumpkin farms and apple orchids. It was a great experience and my friends are all interested in going again!

Beautiful Cabin!! We had such a nice, relaxing time here. The pictures do not do it justice. The owners have thought of everything. The decor was gorgeous. The view was beautiful.Absolutely the best value for such an amazing place. Very convenient to downtown Ellijay, but yet the cabin is set in a beautiful, serene private location in the mountains. The owners were the best and very helpful with anything you need. We will definitely be back. This place is amazing!

What a wonderful retreat! My wife and I had a very relaxing stay at this amazingly lavish cabin in Ellijay. The incredible location overlooking the valley provides the best sunrise and sunset we've seen in ages. If you are looking for somewhere to get away from it all, this is the place! Highly recommended.

Our family has spent the day & evenings on 2 different occasions at the Ellijay Cabin, enjoying the beautiful views from the wrap-around porch, and from the luxurious hot tub on the lower level. Inside the cabin (more like a big lodge!) the up-to-date amenities are very adequate for entertaining and for small group events. And, although we have not spent the night in the cabin, we were impressed with the homey, comfortable accommodations for couples, children, and larger families, with the awesome mountain views from the large bedrooms. Can't wait to stay there for a long weekend in the Fall!

We had a spectacular time at the cabin! The sunrise over the mountains is absolutely gorgeous, and the porch provides a perfect vantage point. We watched a group of wild turkeys explore the property, and there's not a sound to be heard other than nature. Yet we were still close enough to Ellijay to enjoy a coffee and some fried apple pies. Thank you both so much for allowing us to share your beautiful retreat!

Beautiful Cabin with a wonderful view. The cabin itself has everything you need to cook a great dinner and entertain yourself, but what makes the stay truly enjoyable is the incredible view from the spacious wrap around deck. Also there is plenty to do in the surrounding area. We loved everything about our stay here including the price and will probably come back.

For those looking for a relaxing mountain weekend, this Ellijay cabin is just what the doctor ordered. Spacious and well equiped for several couples, it made the perfect get away for my family and friends. We had some memorable times grilling out on the deck and taking in the incredable view. And if you get tired of losing on the pool table, like me, then take a step outside and into the hot tub to soak away your troubles. This really is a great spot nestled in the heart of the North Georgia mountains. Check it out.
