This is a roomy, clean, pet friendly house. There are deer everywhere. We enjoyed the indoor pool and the kids loved the rope swing. There are a lot of steps and also stepping stones to get inside. We enjoyed our time there.

We really enjoyed our stay in this family friendly house in the Georgia mountains. We saw lots of deer from the comfort of the porch swing and rocking chairs.The game room was a great place for the kids to chill. Would definitely recommend renting from such a courteous host.

This was an amazing place to stay! I brought a larger group but it was plenty of space. It was a wonderful location as it felt like we were deep in the woods but were actually very close to amenities and Ellijay. The hosts were tremendous, providing plenty of useful information ahead of time and answering questions in a timely manner. Definitely a place worth staying!

This is a great location. The host was very communicative and left detailed instructions for everything. The cabin was very clean and had everything we needed for our stay. My kids had the best time playing pool, games and hanging out by the fire pit. Every morning we were greeted by a herd of deer and the evenings were spent outside roasting marshmallows. We were there during the apple festival and my family had the best time.

We stayed at this property for a week and we really enjoyed our stay. The home was as described in the listing and how we expected it to be. The host was very responsive,welcoming and helpful. The home was very clean and equipped with what we needed for the stay. We really enjoyed the firepit outside with plenty of chairs for everyone. The kids enjoyed the pool table and the retro video games.I would recommend this property to others. We would definitely try to stay here again on our next visit to Ellijay.

Wonderful Mountain Retreat!

This cabin was a perfect getaway for our girls trip with our children. The downstairs was the perfect set up for our kids with bunk beds and an amazing game room. The extra amenities (waffle station and coffee/espresso) was delicious and a nice surprise. And the property owner was fantastic! They answered messages quickly and the check in process was a breeze. We definitely will be back again!

We gathered for an early celebration of my birthday and our 50th Anniversary. Three of our daughters joined us fom SC, AZ and VA. We also were able to have our youngest daughter's godparents join us for Sunday dinner, as they live in Coosawatee. Nick is an awesome host who is very responsive.

Family vacation

Our family from FLA heads north for the winter to get away from the heat. We found this home exactly as described in the listing. Everyone in the group had their own room and plenty of space to separate. The hot tub was used in 22-degree weather and was much needed after a day hiking. We saw deer every day. My granddaughter looked forward to it every morning. Loved the location with paved road and close to town. Definitely would stay again.

Hillside Haven:10/10

This was our first Vrbo booking/stay and it exceed all of our expectations. From host communication, amenities, cleanliness, and location everything was 10/10. The kitchen was fully stocked with supplies (and the labeling was excellent), the Keurig/Nespresso was awesome, my kids loved the waffle station, the game room was perfect for my teens (whose mission was to beat the Pac-man high score), and we saw deer up close multiple times each day. We only live about 2 hours from Ellijay and were in the area for a weekend ball tournament. If we ever need to stay overnight in the area again, we would definitely look for Hillside Haven first!

Perfect!

We stayed over Thanksgiving and had a wonderful stay! We were a group of 8 (2 tweens) and had plenty of space. The kitchen is the best stocked of all of the places we have ever stayed. Plenty of pots, pans, utensils, dishes, etc and the table seated all of us which was a huge bonus! There were extras throughout that was helpful and thoughtful. We saw ALOT of deer and enjoyed the surrounding area. Communication with Nick was flawless with quick replies to any questions. If you are looking to stay in/near Ellijay, I highly recommend!

Amenities Galore!

This property had everything you could imagine. They had games for adults, kids, and kids-at-heart. The kitchen was well-stocked and organized. They had everything labeled and provided more than the normal initial supply of paper and cleaning products. We were impressed with the coffee maker/keurig and espresso station, as well as, the waffle maker station. The kitchen table was long enough to sit our large family. The porch swing and rockers were very comfortable and relaxing for the adults and kids. We loved the hot tub, the fire pit, the patio, the everything! You definitely need to stay here for a relaxing and fun vacation.
