It is not uncommon to see deer feeding near the cabin in the early morning or twilight hours.
Convenient access to activities, including only ten minutes to the beautiful White Path golf range or less than 45 minutes to Whitewater Rafting on the Ocoee River, site of the 1996 Olympics.

Map & Owner's Profile
Secluded Cabin - Mountain Views with Nature Trail Along River
Year Purchased: 2003
Why the Owner Chose Ellijay
Beginning in 1972, we started building our home in the mountains to retreat from the frantic city life in Atlanta. We moved into our mountain home in 1977, and have never looked back!
The Unique Benefits at this Cabin
At Five Ridge Bluff, you have the advantage of having a gorgeous mountain view plus access to the Ellijay River. A mile long nature trail goes from the cabin to the river and runs along its banks -- all on private property. Along the trail you will find spots to fish, play in the river, picnic, or sunbathe. Since it is all on private property, you have it all to yourself!
Owner's Map of Ellijay
We have lived in this beautiful part of North Georgia for 35 years, and felt a desire to share our 'piece of paradise' with others. So, in 2003, we built a single rental cabin on our 120 acres. This allows others to share the pleasure of our natural environment in a secluded forst, tucked away from the busy world, yet conveniently located to go to all those outside activites. There are no other rental cabins on our property. Your own private resort!
