Wonderful Stay

My colleague and I needed a few days to get away so that we could focus on our dissertation work. This cabin was a perfect getaway-- it offered all the amenities we needed, especially in the kitchen. Whenever we needed a quick brain break, we had the option of going to the rec center (with basic gym equipment) or going on a walk to feed the friendly deer. Admittedly, the deer was the best part of the trip. WARNING: Be cautious about parking on the upper level; I'd recommend parking on the lower deck to be on the safe-end. One of our cars got stuck on the hill and when we reached out to Ryan, he was so quick to respond and send for help. This was during the few days leading up to Christmas so we were worried we would not be able to get anybody out, but the issue quickly got resolved within the hour. Overall, this was a super family-friendly place. They have board games for kids, a relaxing patio and fireplace, and even separate thermostats for the rooms upstairs/downstairs. We would definitely love to come back again!

Beautiful cabin and surroundings

Cabin is beautiful and well furnished. It was quite comfortable and roomy. Games available for all ages. Ryan was very quick to answer questions and help us when we needed it. Ellijay is a quaint town worth visiting. We were unaware the lower level was not available and therefore you either had to make it up the steep driveway or you had to walk up the path to get into the cabin. Either way, I would not rent this cabin if you don’t have a 4 wheel drive. Roads are as expected, narrow and winding but mostly paved EXCEPT Parker Way which is the only road that connects to the road the cabin sits on. That road is 1 lane, very narrow and winding. We met a delivery truck one trip and fortunately the driver was close to the only driveway and pulled into it to let us pass. Then when leaving at the end of our vaca, we met a cement truck and had to back down the narrow, winding road until we got all the way back to the entrance of the cabin road to let it pass! We loved the cabin, would have loved it more if it’d been on a different location.

Peacefulness

Really enjoyed our time at this lovely cabin. The beds are super comfortable, linens super soft and comfy- slept like a baby! Deer are everywhere throughout this HUGE neighborhood. The sound of the river across the street is soothing. Enjoyed the deck with fire pit. Driveway to the cabin is a little steep for flat land Floridians but doable with a regular vehicle. Plenty of awesome hikes in the area. Ellijay is a cute little town. Blue ridge is also very nice. Communication with the owner was always quick and easy! Thanks for sharing your lovely cabin.

About the host

Hosted by Ryan Eldredge

We grew up on the Florida beaches, but now reside outside of Nashville. This cabin is a peaceful stop in between the two locations. We love coming here to enjoy the fresh air and to listen to the river.

Why they chose this property

The drive-in from the resort gate is always fun. Usually there are deer all over the place, and you'll get glimpses of people enjoying a float down the river.

What makes this property unique

I'm always struck by the calm and peacefulness of this cabin. This property is perched on the mountainside directly across from the Coosawattee River. It heightens the sound of the water rushing over the rocks below and gives you a fun vantage point to watch the deer run down the hill. We supply deer corn for you to throw from the balcony. Once the deer hear it, they'll immediately scamper down the hill.
