It was a beautiful stay in the cabin. Very peaceful and plenty of deer to see entering the community.
Booked this as last minute getaway, loved the cabin and the fact that we could bring all 3 of our furbabies!! We unfortunately didn’t have time to use the hot tub but the set up was lovely! Bed was comfy and they even had dog bowls, bed, a pair of PJs and biscuits! Will definitely rent again!
Home was great for a weekend getaway. They had a dog bed, toys, and food/water bowls available on site which was so thoughtful. The cabin itself serves all intended purposes. Outdoor space was the highlight. Fire pit and covered hot tub was great!
Cabin was just as described. Very clean with excellent kitchen amenities. Fenced area for the dog as well as the wrap around gated deck was also great for our pup.

Fauna Lodge is located in nice semi secluded area outside of Ellijay, GA. The cabin met all our expectations and allowed for us to have a great week away from the big city.

Cute cabin, peaceful and beautiful. Enjoyed the hot tub and morning coffee on the porch! Dogs loved it, loved the extra little fenced area and they enjoyed sunning on the fenced porch. No issues with Google Maps and phone service worked normally. Would stay again!
This property was awesome! We brought our pups and the cabin was perfect for the pups! A quiet area that was tucked away with many areas to hang out. It was hard to choose where to relax. Perfect for me, my husband, our two dogs, my mom and her dog.

The location was perfect and it was just the right size for the two of us and our dogs. We enjoyed having the fenced area for the dogs to run and play without having to worry about them.
