Beautiful cabin, centrally located between blue ridge and Elijay. The river in the back yard is deep enough to hold fish in the fall.

Host was amazing and very helpful. Downstairs fold out sofa, is for children. Definitely not recommended for older teens/adults. King/queen beds very comfortable. Can hear the creek sounds from porch. Lots of parking in drive for multiple family stays. Our family are mosquito magnets. However, can say there were few, IF any. Great rental.

The property was clean except for some furballs from previous pets. The large screened porch was awesome and very comfortable. The hot tub was enjoyed by most. The fire pit was fun to have evening s’mores and relax time. The beds were all comfortable. We cooked/grilled almost daily and the kitchen was well stocked with dishes, appliances, pots and pans. Contact with the owner was more than comfortable. We had a great time! Highly recommend! I would say the stairs to get to the front door were slippery for an older person, but once we were in we used the downstairs door to come and go.

Thank you so much, Karen! We're so glad you had a great time. We're sorry about the pet fur you found upon arrival and appreciate you letting us know. We'll also take a closer look at the front steps to see if we can improve traction for future guests. Thank you for the recommendation, and we'd love to host you again!

The location of the property in the woods was beautiful. Everyone enjoyed sitting out on the deck and taking in the woods and listening to the water flowing in the small shallow river down below. I went down one morning to sit close to the river and enjoy the sights and sounds of nature. While there being quiet and still 5 deer came to the water to drink and play. Great memory for me. We made use of the firepit area a couple nights and my family made smores. I laughed when they got the marshmallow sticks too hot and lost their marshmallow into the fire. Alot of laughs at the firepit. Although we did not use the gas grill, the family did utilize the spa a couple times in the cool of the evening. We enjoyed visiting places in the area, shopping and eating. When we first arrived at the property home, we all couldn't help but notice the stone steps going to the front door. Some stones were loose, some broken, some missing. I felt that this was not a good first impression to the home. My wife, age 70 did not like using those steps. We did have a brief power outage one evening, and lost water pressure on another day. The handrail going down to the bottom floor is loose and should be addressed. There were stains on the carpet in the living room that I thought looked unsightly and should have addressed by the cleaning staff. Overall, my family and I made some good memories here that I will cherish.

Awesome place

House is great. Watch your step on way down to river it’s steep. Take a bottle of water because it’s steep

Family Christmas in the Mountains

My family wanted to spend Christmas in the Ga mountains and I think I found the perfect place that met all of our needs and gave us plenty of space to make memories. The living space was the most important so that we could all be together comfortably to play games and open gifts. The property was beautiful and the parking was great. We had no problem driving to the cabin in smaller cars. The location was perfect and the drive to shopping or restaurants was quick and convenient.

Thanks so much for your awesome review! We're so glad your family had a blast during Christmas in the Georgia mountains and that our place was perfect for making memories together. It's great to hear that the living area was just right for games and gift-giving, and that you found the property beautiful with plenty of parking. We're also happy that getting to the cabin was a breeze, even with smaller cars, and that you enjoyed the convenient location near shopping and restaurants. We can't wait to have you and your family back for more fun times!

Relax & Reset !!

We had a fantastic stay. The cabin is in a gated community with winding roads with large lots with scenic views. This meant traffic was limited to residents which made it a fantastic place to take walks or runs with or without our dog. The River is in the back and down a steep slope. You can hear the constant babble of the water flow. The various spaces to relax indoor and out were all amazing. The fire pit was cozy and convenient and the hot tub was a win on the cool nights. We enjoyed time in both Elijay and Blue Ridge. Great shops and great restaurants. You can enjoy this cabin if you want to do nothing and never leave or if you want to use it as home base and go excursions. We needed a recharge and spent most time relaxing. Last two things to note are the host was amazing with communication and the beds were all very comfortable. I am saving this one for a possible return.

The cabin was spacious and beds were comfortable, and as depicted in the pictures! The kitchen was well equipped except only 4 wine glasses so needing more.The rooms were great for all of us and the kids loved the bunk room and game room. We liked the large kitchen table for eating and game playing!The location and roads to and from to Elijay and BR were good about 20 minutes to most places but easy drive.The host was super responsive and helpful to all questions.Negatives ; QR code instructions for the cabin were brief and not adequate.The lighting was a little hard to figure out, but we managed. The fireplace in living room was nice but may need some maintenance.The large sectional sofa is good for a crowd, but it was low and cushions very loose and not comfortable for longer periods. Could use couple of extra chairs. The tv's were positioned very high and was difficult to view comfortably,if they were positioned down further it would have been much better.Overall a great cabin and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay!Thanks so much for the great response and helpfulness by our host!.

Thank you so much for the thoughtful review. We’re thrilled that the spacious layout, comfy beds, bunk/game rooms, and big kitchen table worked well, and that the drives to Ellijay and Blue Ridge were easy. We also appreciate the helpful notes: we will get more wine glasses, expand the QR code guide with clearer lighting instructions, schedule maintenance for the living room fireplace, evaluate the sectional, and review TV heights for more comfortable viewing. Thanks again for the kind words about our responsiveness. We’d love to host you again!
