Tranquil Retreat Cabin

We loved the location and the privacy this cabin offers. The cabin was clean and well stocked with dishes and utensils. The view was beautiful and we were able to see the sunset through the trees from the top floor balcony. The roads up to the cabin were good for any vehicle and it was only a short drive to town. We definitely enjoyed our stay!
Deer in the backyard!

Primary Bathroom shower head needs to be replaced to give more water pressure. The kitchen sink windowsill was really dirt and filled with dead bugs that should be cleaned out. But overall, the house was very clean and pleasant to stay in. The location of the home was super easy to get to and super convenient.

Beautiful Cabin! Very clean upon arrival and directions were clearly marked for the TV/thermostat etc.. The neighborhood was quiet with scenic views and occasional wildlife sightings. The property is close to shopping and downtown.

A nice get-away Cabin in the woods

This was a last minute decision to go to the blue ridge mountains for a little getaway. The cabin is easy to get to, has wonderful views and is situated in a quiet part of the gated community. We have nothing but great things to say. Don’t hesitate to book this cabin and enjoy your stay!!!

Christmas getaway

We really enjoyed our stay, especially watching deer walk past the house and graze in the yard in the mornings and evenings. House was very comfortable with a country decor. We really enjoy cooking and found the kitchen to be pretty well stocked. Could have used a larger wood cutting board.

Best GA Mountains stay EVER!

Our family has been visiting the Ellijay-Blue Ridge-Blairsville area for 20+ years and this was the BEST visit we’ve ever had! From the location of the cabin to the ease of and welcome to bring our dog to the seven deer who spent a large amount of time daily grazing over the property - it was awesome!! We visited almost ever park in the neighborhood and thoroughly enjoyed unwinding, soaking in nature and just hanging out at the cabin. The cabin was generously supplied with every amenity we could possibly need or want.

Cute cabin, but a little rough around the edges. Cleaning crew needs to do a deep dive- spider webs everywhere and dusty. Also some dirty dishes in the cabinet with food still on them.

Fantastic retire

Needed a place to do a workation. Wanted to feel remote but not far from the town so that we can go out to dinner and bike rides. Kitchen is mega fully way super stock with devices, pots, pans etc. Internet was 30Mbps, which is perfect for the work we were doing.

Very Pretty Cabin

We loved this cabin. Had everything we needed including deer in the backyard alot. However, it snowed on 12/26/22 and we were stuck at the cabin for 2 days because the hill is steep and it turned to ice. There was not a shovel at the cabin. But the Host let us have another night stay which was very nice. We loved the cabin - very beautiful with a wonderful view and a nice fireplace and TV's. Just beautiful.

4/10 Poor

• The living room and the stairs to the lower level had no lights. • There was a ping-pong table but no usable balls, so it was basically useless. • When I checked in, the gate had no record of my reservation and the management office didn’t answer the phone, so I wasted about an hour on the road

So many deer!

My husband and I stayed for 6 nights to visit my daughter in Georgia. This is the first time staying in North Georgia and we loved it. The cabin was so nice and had everything you would need for a comfortable stay. The deer were outside the cabin every morning and evening - large groups of 5-6 including fawns. The cabin was in a very quiet area - loved it. We are from Florida so the driveway was a little scary for us at first but once you figure it out - not so bad. We are not used to such steep inclines - everything is flat by us. We would definitely stay here again - hoping we can schedule something for next year.

Deer Watching

This is a lovely property! The cabin was clean, nicely decorated and well stocked with all the necessary items. It's private and the location was perfect for going in and out of Ellijay and other nearby attractions. We had so much fun watching all the deer that wandered by several time each day!! Only wish the driveway was easier to get in and out of. The incline of the one-way street coupled with the decline of the driveway took a bit of getting use to. (I wouldn't advise arriving at night the first time.) That won't stop us from returning - one of my favorite cabins so far and we've stayed at many! Also, the owner was very nice to work with and very quick to respond. Thank you!!!!

This is a GREAT cabin for a family of 4, perfect size, well situated, and on top of the mountain. The drive from the cabin to downtown is short, Pets are allowed, and you will find deer everywhere in the morning, and evenings. Go to TSC in Ellijay and buy a bag of deer corn for 9, and they will be your best friends. The Cabin was clean inside, the beds were super comfortable, the furniture was perfectly cabiny and TONS of bathrooms (3), which was great. I would suggest a power washing of the windows, and outside it was a bit dirty, lots of spider webs. The Bonfire pit is on the slope so it's hard to enjoy, and maybe add a propane grill, the charcoal one is a pain to use. Full laundry in the basement, and they give you a small amount of laundry tabs to use, which is nice. The resort is great, so many things to do, game machines, pools, beautiful bridges, and you can walk right into the river, and enjoy it on a hot day, All in all the cabin is great, and we will def be renting it again, you will not be disappointed. Thanks for a great stay, and thanks to Dominic for all the help, and quick and constant communication.

Great location - Lack of cleanliness & Bath Items

The cabin was very spacious and convenient to activities around town and restaurants. The kitchen was well equipped with dishes, etc. However, the supply of wash cloths per bathroom, per quest was not sufficient. We had 4 adults staying for 2 nights. The master bathroom only had 2 wash clothes and the guest bathroom only 1. There should have been 4 per bathroom. The owner closet was unlocked so we were able to find 1 wash cloth there. None of the towels, wash clothes or dish towels smelled fresh or clean. The guest bedroom closet was full of mice droppings. Dirty socks were found in the master bedroom. It didn't appear the upstairs had been swept or mopped. This was a bit unsettling.

We are sorry about the shower head and if we were to know we would have replaced it for you just like we picked up the trash the very same day you reported it. I can not do anything about the gate issue as this is completely out of my control and the resort failed you on that one. They usually never make a mistake so Im not sure if it was user error on your part. overall we answered everytime you called (all 4 times) right away and delivered whatever it was you asked about within an hour of each call.

Nice place for a small family

The rental was in a nice area. It was clean and spacious. Weather was not great when we first arrived and we spent a full night from 7pm-7am with no power. This is Mother Nature and no fault to the owner. The fire detector woke me up in a scare two nights in a row. The basement is a game room but was a bit flooded when we got there. Other than that, it’s a good place to stay.
