What a lovely house - perfect for a family getaway. Easy short drive from Atlanta, but feels like you are hours away from everything. The property is beautiful, and so well equipped - much more so than a normal VRBO property. All of the spaces, both inside and out, were cozy and inviting - between the multiple outdoor seating areas with heat lamps, the cozy indoor spaces, and the amazing fire pit next to the calming sounds of the river, it was hard to say what was my favorite. Hot tub was amazing in the mornings listening to the birds. My daughter absolutely loved running around in the expansive lawn and sitting in the wildflowers!Brian, the host, was awesome. Great communication and so nice. Neighbors were really nice too… We will definitely keep this house on the list to go back to!!

Great midsummer getaway for a small town Fourth of July. House is lovely although we wished it was a little closer to the river. Huge backyard great for families. Lots to do in Ellijay - don’t miss Cress Creek Farm, tubing on the Catecay, BJ Reece Cider House, and hiking Blackberry Mountain!

About the host

Hosted by Brian and Stefanie

Host profile image
Brian and Stefanie personally manage the Ellijay River Retreat. Since this is our own personal cabin, we are very selective about who we let stay here. When we select someone to stay, you are our personal guest as if you're friends or family. We want you to have the absolute best experience. This is not an investment property managed by a property management company, you are our guest!

Were looking for a beach house but stumbled on this new mountain modern cabin in the City of Ellijay. We fell in love with the cabin and the City of Ellijay. The people are so nice. Brian is an Engineer and Stefanie a medical provider, so attention to detail is part of our fabric. When you first walk into the cabin you will see that immediately!

Why they chose this property

There is no other cabin that offers what the Ellijay River Retreat offers! New Mountain Modern Cabin quietly nestled on the Ellijay River within the city limits of the City of Ellijay, literally walking distance from downtown. (We don't recommend walking since the cabin is on curvy road with no margin). This cabin is not in a neighborhood and you will not see tubers and kayakers going by all day long. There is a huge grass field between the house and the river for kids to run and play. High speed internet for streaming movies or working on the internet. A local photographer that takes listing photographs of hundreds of local cabins, said it was one of the most beautiful cabins he has ever seen. Everything in this house is top of the line. The kitchen is has everything you could possibly need. There are 2 full sized refrigerators, one on each floor. The 6 person premium hot tub always has new water and amazing lights and sound system. You will not find a cleaner cabin!

What makes this property unique

If you like Blue Ridge, you will love Ellijay, it is the best of Blue Ridge without all the traffic and crowds! There is so much to do in and around Ellijay, we have been going there for over a year and barely scratch the surface. We never go to Blue Ridge anymore. Favorite activities, river tubing, shopping, and visiting the many vineyards. Shops and Restaurants in Ellijay are 2nd to none. Everything you could possibly want to do is within a few minutes of this cabin.
