Red Maple Cabin is a secluded, peaceful, mountain home surrounded by woods with the sound of a nearby mountain stream located on the side of Walnut Mountain just minutes from Ellijay. Snuggle in front of the living room fireplace (seasonal), or enjoy the front porch rocking chairs. More rocking chairs grace the expansive back deck with gas BBQ grill, deep woods view, and a serene, quiet, mountain setting. In the evening you can cozy up to the outdoor fire pit, wrap yourself in a blanket, and swap stories.
Upon arrival to the wood cabin you are greeted by the front deck with several inviting rocking chairs. Inside are wood walls and wood floors for that true cabin experience. There are 3 decks in all, one in front, and two in back with great views and several rocking chairs. The upper/loft main bedroom has its own private deck.
The main level features the living room with a high vaulted ceiling, a cozy fireplace (seasonal), two queen bedrooms, a full bath, and kitchen. Off the kitchen is the second deck running the entire the length of the cabin with a plumbed gas grill and perfect views.
The upper/loft main bedroom features a king size bed, private full bathroom, reading nook, and double doors opening to the private screened deck.
Downstairs (basement) is a large game room with a Smart TV, sitting area, a regulation size cornhole set, game table, and lots of games.
Outdoors, the back yard features a wood-burning fire pit for enjoying great conversations on a chilly night. Blankets are provided too. A picnic table under the trees is ready for your picnic gathering.
Each bedroom has smart ROKU TVs with blazing fast internet for accessing your favorite streaming apps just like you were at home. Smart TVs are also located in the living room and game room.
Adjacent to the living room is the kitchen stocked with cookware, dishes, glasses, a Hamilton Beach Flex Brew coffee maker for brewing by the pot or individual k-cups, blender, toaster, mixer, pots/pans, dishwasher, and more. Just bring your own groceries to make delicious meals on the gas cooktop and oven. The kitchen is open to the living room so that you can see the TV and talk to the other guests. The table sits six.
One thing we love is that it’s quiet here, the stars are amazing, and the wildlife visits from the squirrels, chipmunks, birds, and deer are entertaining.
Walnut Mountain offers four lakes and hiking trails. For the more adventurous, Amicalola Falls is only 30-minute drive away and offers great hiking, picnicking, and the falls. Hikers might want to visit the Chattahoochee National Forest on Springer Mountain where the Appalachian Trail begins. Around the Ellijay - Blue Ridge area you’ll discover white water rafting, tubing, zip lines, golf courses, beautiful mountain drives, apple orchards in the fall, antique shopping, and many local wineries and vineyards.
Lake access to Lake Dakwa (one of 4 lakes) is by walking up the mountain to the next right turn and following the walkway down to the lake and hiking trail.

Cabin was clean, spacious, and quiet. All of the furniture and the king bed were comfortable. We really enjoyed the hot tub and outdoor seating. We walked the community grounds and hiked a few of the trails around two of the lakes. The only bad thing was we couldn't use the fire pit but that was due to nature and the red flag warnings, so out of our control. Dan is an excellent host and great with communication and ideas for exploring the area. We'll be back.

Kathy, Thanks for your kind review. Like you,
we enjoy the mountain woods, wildlife,
And being close to the great little town of Ellijay.
Communication with the host and the check in process were all very easy. The cabin is about a 10 min drive to downtown Elijay. We loved the location and the cabin itself was very clean and had all the amenities needed for a pleasant stay. I would recommend this cabin for a stay in beautiful Elijay.

Thanks for your stay and for recommending Red Maple Cabin to others.
Red Maple Cabin was the perfect place to spend a few days. The property was super clean and had many amenities we enjoyed like the hot tub, fire pit, and arcade game! The location was great; close to orchards, the Cartecay river and downtown Ellijay. Dan was easy to communicate with and replied very quickly.

Thanks for your stay. We’ve put our heart into Red Maple Cabin for others’ enjoyment. Your enjoyment is our pleasure. Hope to host you again.
Excellent communication with owner. Cabin was very clean, very comfy, great decor, more games than you can imagine, well stocked with everything down to blankets for use at the fire pit. Owner provided information on all the wineries, hiking trails, restaurants and things to do. So lucky to have found this wonderful dog friendly cabin.
Although technically in a gated community, it felt like a secluded cabin in the woods, rustic and beautifully maintained and appointed. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the easily-accessible hikes.
We had a great time; the home was beautiful, and the area was amazing.

About the host
Hosted by Dan
My primary home is in Austin, Texas where I arrived in 2014 via the Tampa, Florida area where I grew up.
I've always loved the Mountains and small towns like Ellijay. When I decided to purchase a vacation home to rent out short term I knew where I wanted to be.
I love this cabin and hope you do as well and enjoy staying here as much as I do.
Why they chose this property
My idea was to buy a log cabin home and this one caught my attention immediately. I love the seclusion, the view, and the cabin lifestyle. Deer walk through on a regular basis, hoot owls serenade at night, and an occasional bob cat can be seen.
What makes this property unique
Walnut Mountain offers fishing, hiking, tennis, picnicking, and a community pool. The community offers 4 lakes with lots of opportunity for walking, hiking, and being outdoors.
Besides the true cabin exterior and interior I love the front porch and the back decks. I enjoying relaxing and enjoying the view. Sitting around the fire pit with friends and sharing stories is a favorite pastime.
