About this property

*Free Whitewater Rafting & Ziplining* Cozy & Romantic Retreat Overlooking 10ft Waterfalls

**Free Activities Included! To enhance your vacation experience, Cuddle Up Cabin Rentals includes Xplorie, which means free admissions and rentals everyday of your stay at select popular attractions in the area.**

Step out of the car and you are greeted with the crush of the waterfalls just below, and in an instant you understand exactly where the cabin got its name. An open and airy interior, charmingly quaint and cozy, tucked away in a rich natural landscape, Thunder Falls has a special atmosphere and appeal all its own. From the graveled parking area, you round the landscaped corner of the cabin, headed toward the sound and the cabin’s entrance and reach the hand lain stone path leading to the covered porch and the only thing that could possibly make the scene appear more like one from a storybook—a handmade wicker chair, rustic and inviting, a welcome seemingly from the surrounding forest itself beckoning you to sit and take it all in. The cool, clear waters of Turnip town Creek wind through the trees and around the bend, smoothing over stones, hollowing out perfect bowl shaped dips and narrow crevices and crannies as it cascades down the gentle sloping of the hillside. At Thunder Falls you have a birds-eye view of this scene. From the covered entrance, spacious front porch, or even the shaded picnic table deck perched on the hillside above the falls, the cabin’s outdoor living space is dedicated to helping guests soak in the cabins unique natural setting.

Cute & cozy, Thunder Falls, is a two level cabin perfect for a couple or small group of four looking to getaway. The main level at Thunder Falls has a fixed glass front, with a front facing view of the surrounding trees and foliage and perched high enough on the hillside to bask the entire living area in a shower of radiant sun, Thunder Falls welcomes inside the natural beauty of its surroundings like no other. The kitchen, dining area, and area holding the sofas that surround the great room’s gas log fire place all open into each other and by extension of the windows and French doors, the serenity of the woods outside. A gas grill, patio set, and even a quiet, shaded reading nook at the back of the porch have all been provided to help guests comfortably unwind and truly enjoy the great outdoors!

Thunder Falls has beautiful handmade log beds, a Queen in the main level bedroom with two window seats, a stained glass transom, and adjoining bath. The Queen bed in the loft level master bedroom has a private sunroom, small flat screen TV and DVD player. The loft area has a spacious built in desk and work space, though with wireless access throughout the cabin you need not feel contained. Guests can access another outdoor seating area through the cabin’s unfinished basement, and from that lower deck follow more landscaped stairs down to the small hillside deck tucked into the surrounding laurels and hemlocks, overlooking the falls rushing by below.

While there is no landscaped access down to the falls themselves, guests can chose to venture down into the shaded and laurel filled area accessing the area above the water and pools above the falls to play and splash in the creek. Lush and serene, with the tranquility of Turnip town Creek serenading you all the while, Thunder Falls is a beautiful place to call your North Georgia Mountain Home!

Thunder Falls is located in a private gated community, with access to four fishing ponds, a community pool, playgrounds, picnic areas, as well as community events and festivals. Thunder Falls location puts guests in the heart of apple country and perfectly situated to enjoy the annual Apple Festival as well as tubing on the Cartecay or Coosawattee Rivers, boating on Carters Lake, shopping or dining on the historic square or even golfing at area clubs. Whitewater rafting and kayaking on the Ocoee River are also just a short drive away.

Beautiful View
Home is as described. Waterfall is beautiful and makes for a peaceful afternoon while sitting on the back porch. We had a couple of questions, and the management company responded promptly. The only misinformation provided was the community pool. There is a community pool, but we were told that this homeowner did not have access to the pool, so we could not use the community pool. We didn't go planning to use the pool, but one day while there we did decide to go swimming only to find out that we could not use the pool. The amenities for this specific location should be updated on the VRBO site. I would still go back as this is not a deal breaker for us.

Thunder falls
The cabin was nice and had everything we needed. The only issue was the smell of mold/mildew in the master bathroom.

Great stay
Experience was great, but no one ever answers the phone for the rental company. We called 5 times because we lost power for a few hours and we were trying to find out what happened. We only got through once. And they didn’t call back till the next day. And when I called to tell them we were leaving, still no answer. Had to leave a voicemail. Other than that, great location, amazing waterfall right in front of the cabin, and Ellijay is super cute with a lot within walking distance of each other. Would definitely stay here again.
