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!

This cabin stocks more amenities than any cabin we've rented; it's clean and really very nice. The property is unique among rental cabins: so much area to explore, and all so beautiful. The kids loved playing in the water. Most striking of all, however, are the two dogs that "come with" the cabin: Buster and Dixie. They are endearing, friendly, and completely entertaining. Thank you for sharing your paradise with us, Mike and Sharon!

This cabin is even better than described in the listing and more beautiful than the pictures. It is clean, stocked, beautiful. Not only was Mike helpful explaining the features (hot tub, fireplace, TV etc), he even told us how to prepare the fish we caught there! I would not hesitate to recommend this wonderful property to anyone looking for a secluded stay in the North Georgia Mountains. Mike and Sharon, you do a great job! Thanks so much for letting us share your piece of paradise!

This is the best rental I have ever visited. The privacy and mountain views make for a truly relaxing get away, and the hospitality from Mike and Sharon could not have made me feel more at home.

What a wonderful cabin. It has all the amenities. It is more like staying with great friends than a cold rental. Very warm and inviting. Lots to do! Enjoyed the hiking trail. Note of caution - if you are not used to hiking, don't take the steep hill back to the cabin. We made it, but it was quite hilarious watching us make it up the hill. Cabin is spotless and has all the little details - ie toothpicks, salt and pepper, matches, etc. Loved the gas fireplace. We enjoyed relaxing around it in the evenings. Hope to return again soon.

What an awesome place to stay! Mike and Sharon were incredible hosts that made us feel right at home. The cabin is awesome and the cleanest place we have ever stayed in! This is going to be a yearly family visit! Thanks so much for opening your mountain get-a-way for us. We look forward to many, many more stays!

My 2 brothers and 1 sister and I get together once a year for a weekend getaway with just the 4 of us. This was a perfect place to just lay back, relax, hike, and enjoy the company of one another. Mike was a gracious host. He came to the cabin to make sure everything was as we expected and to answer any questions. He visited with us a while, and we felt as if he was a old friend. But he also gave us all the space we needed. We are already making plans to bring our own families back here for a long weekend.

Mike & Sharon, We so enjoyed our stay at your cabin. Of course, we did not want to leave,but we had to. Everything was great! The leaves were what we came for and they were beautiful. We just happened to arrive in a cold front and some evenings were in the 20's. Perfect for the hot tub. We loved our trails. Hope to return, maybe try the summer. Thanks, Mike & Karen Link
