Best R&R Spring Break
The cabin was amazing. Everything was perfect and our 2024 Spring break was wonderful. On the river with deer at our front door daily. Layout worked great for our party of 6 and we truly enjoyed our stay. The sauna, and fire pits, and swings/hammock let us unwind in nature with the sounds of the river and wildlife all around. It was cooler over the weekend and the hot tub didn't heat up to enjoy. We would definitely stay here again. The host Eva was a communication expert. 5 Stars. Thank you for allowing us to stay and make some new family memories together.

AMAZING
Where to start. The property is amazing. What you see is what you get. It is very clean and well kept. The hose was very responsive to any questions we had. We booked for 6 nights but ended uo staying an extra night because it was great. The water is great. You will see 20 30 deer every single day. We will definitely be staying againg in the summer and we also want to come back around Christmas time. If you're hesitating don't. Its worth every cent. Thank you for the memories.

The best family getaway
The Great Escape was just that! The ultimate getaway. Looking forward to our winter trip here and booking directly with Eva. She was the most attentive host we’ve experienced. There was plenty of room for our group of adults and littles. Cabin was very clean and well kept up. Best parts were the screened in porch and the swings right at the river! The pictures of these sold us on this rental and we were not disappointed. We enjoyed all of our mornings listening to the river while drinking coffee and cooking breakfast with the grill on the porch. It was very nice to sit out at night and not have to worry about the bugs. The kids loved the river! We put tubes in and cooled off every day while the kids tried to net small fish and looked for the best rocks. It was deep enough to enjoy but shallow enough that we felt safe with the kids exploring in it. (about mid calf deep and not too fast) The loft game room was also a kid favorite, they tried their hands at ping pong most days. Kitchen was fully stocked with cooking supplies. Closest grocery was about 20 min drive. The drive to get to the cabin from the main road is all paved along with the driveway. We saw tons deer EVERYWHERE! I strongly recommend getting deer corn!! Blue Ridge, Amicolola Falls, Dalonegha, and Downtown Ellijay are all within driving distance.

Perfect Family Location
This cabin was perfect for our group. Plenty of room for everyone, and fully stocked. We stay around Elijah and Blue Ridge twice a year. Several things put this cabin to the top of our list. But the location was #1. Right on the river with easy access to get in and enjoy the water, fishing was great here also. Tube dropoff was a 6 min drive. Highly recommend this cabin if you plan to stay in the Ellijay area. The host also very responsive and helpful.
