Visiting Elijay with friends

Buddy's Bungalow was a great place to stay. About 20 minutes from Elijay, private location a little bit a out of the way but not bad. Jason and Erin were very nice to work with. Would stay there again.

The cabin was so cozy! So comfortable with adorable Bear Theme in every room. The beds were extremely comfortable. I usually wake up a few times a night but not here! Slept like a baby. Wonderful outdoor area to enjoy. LOVED drinking coffee on the porch and listening to the creek.

A Great Getaway Cabin In The Woods!

We absolutely loved this cabin! It was so cozy and relaxing with more than enough amenities for 2 people. The cabin was super clean and everything was as advertised. It was located only 10-15 minutes from Downtown Ellijay which has become one of our favorite little towns!
