Great host. House is beautifully decorated and in a great area. Right on the water and you can hear the River when sitting on the deck. Basement area of house is gorgeous and if you need the extra space, it is a great addition to the house.

We truly enjoyed staying here for two nights. We wish we could have stayed longer! Beautiful house, comfortable place to stay, great place for the kids, and nice for a family getaway! Loved the fire pit by the water. My granddaughter (5) loves the dress up clothes and accessories. The host was very kind and informative. Directions for our stay were clear.

Beautiful Location

We had a great stay. The home was clean. Sound of the creek was perfect. The other homes on the creek path are not visible so you felt like it was your own little slice. Would recommend this home for your Ellijay vacation.

First time to Elijay

Our family has always been a beach family for vacations. We tried out Elijay for the first time this year. The cabin is beautiful and steps away from the river. The owner has put a lot of effort into ensuring guests have a great time while staying at their cabin. I have had multiple friends ask me for the property information just from seeing photographs I posted on social media of our vacation. Very peaceful location. We can’t wait to go back.

Perfect location!!

From the moment we arrived, we were in awe at the beauty of this cabin and the surroundings. We had an easy check in process and the cabin had everything we needed. Our favorite night at the property was when we built a fire and dined by the water. I can't say enough about how wonderful this property is. We hope to be back next year!

We enjoyed our days there. Wonderful memories were made with family. We fished, relaxed by the stream and just chilled out during our stay. I would recommend this cabin. Just be prepared for the gravel roads near the end of your destination. It was still worth it! :)
