Have you ever been longing for a place that is inviting, remote and carefree? Castaway is the ideal retreat situated alongside a rushing creek. The adventure begins as you cross over a covered bridge. The perfect place to castaway all your cares and enjoy all that nature has to offer. Enjoy listening to the creek as you relax with a cocktail on the screened-in porch, soaking in our Hot Tub or toasting marshmallows at the fire pit just feet away from the creek. Experience the chorus of frogs, crickets and birds at dusk. You won't forget how beautiful that is. What a treat!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay this week for Spring Break. There were plenty of outdoor activities to do, and so many outdoor items supplied by the house. The kids enjoyed playing in the stream and hot tub, and the game room was great for spacing out everyone in sleeping quarters. Martha was great to communicate with. We would love to come back!

The house and game room/loft were HUGE. All the bathrooms and showers were beautifully done. The property was super clean. Martha, the manager was great to work with and very sweet. Nothing negative to say about the property. It was perfect! The stream, the old bridge, the hot tub, the fire pit and the loft above the game room. All were perfect. I absolutely recommend this property.

We had a great immediate family get together in early June 2025. This property is absolutely breautiful and very peaceful. Many games and activities are provided to keep everyone entertained. Even more important, the owner, Martha, was so very kind and helpful....she even mailed items that were forgotten back to me. I highly recommend this property (wish I could give it 10 stars).

Castaway Haven

If you’re looking for a 5 star experience in the beautiful north Georgia mountains, then you need not look any further! Clean, fully equipped, cabin and guest house situated on a softly rolling creek with covered bridge entrance - you will feel as though you have entered a storybook setting. You will lack for nothing and the property host is amazing!

Amazing Family Vacation on the Big Creek!!

We chose this property for our mom’s 80th birthday celebration because she loves to trout fish and this offered a very gentle walk to the waters edge and had only two steps into the main level featuring full bedrooms and bath on main. The host, Martha, was an absolute pleasure to work with and left no stone unturned when it came to both decorating and provisioning the property. Everything was perfect and we’ll definitely return!!

Wonderful cabin and location

We have vacationed quite a bit in this area over the past 10 years. This cabin appealed to us based on the location on the creek and general proximity to both Ellijay and Blue Ridge. The cabin was as advertised and the reviews were accurate. Well appointed, plenty of room and Martha was very reachable and left us some treats. There is plenty of room for everyone and having a creek to cool off in was great. Dont hesitate to spend some quality family time here for sure.

Secluded perfection

From arrival to departure our experience was perfect. The cabin is situated deep in the mountains and perfectly peaceful. The cabin has tons of amenities, and is decorated beautifully. Martha was easy to work with and provided perfect personal touches along the way. While at the cabin we enjoyed fishing and playing in the creek, relaxing in the hot tub, and hiking in the woods. We hope to return again in the future.

We can't say enough about this amazing property. The host Martha was so welcoming, accommodating and always ready to help. The property is stunning, clean and full of activities (you never have to leave). The creek located at the back of the property is stocked with gorgeous rainbow trout (catch and release) and provides a natural soundtrack for relaxation. If you are looking for the perfect compound for your wilderness getaway...look no further!!! Highly recommend!

Just Right

It was just right! My family of four plus both sets of parents had a great time. Close enough to Ellijay and Blue Ridge to visit both. Cabin was stocked with plenty to do for us and kids (shuffle board tournament became a big hit) along with the fire pit. Sitting listening to the creek was definitely relaxing. Owner was great! Reached out to us before we got there and was very easy and good to work with and very accessible if needed. We all ageed we will be staying there again!!

There is nothing negative I can say about the property. It is remote and absolutely beautiful! We had the best time, the creek was the highlight for our family. The game room is perfect and the bedroom above it is very comfortable. Our group consisted of teenagers to adults and everyone was very pleased. We don’t have one complaint about this place. Martha was an amazing host and quick to respond. The donuts left upon check in were amazing. We will be staying here again!

Fantastic!

Castaway was perfect in every way! It is peaceful and even more beautiful than the pictures convey. Our family ranged in age from 14 to 73 and each had a wonderful time enjoying all the activities from the creek to the hot tub! The game room was a big hit with our teens. The location is perfect! Martha is a gracious host and definitely goes the extra miles for her guests! Our family is looking forward to returning next year! Thank you, Martha!

Magical place

This place is beautiful! The pictures doesn’t do it justice. The 7 of us stayed 3 nights at this roomy cabin in the woods. There was so much to do at the cabin we didn’t need to leave. It went by way too quick. Martha and David were amazing. Any questions I had they were right on it. Martha even made us banana nut bread. So cute! I would definitely stay there again.

About the host

Hosted by Martha Sanders

Host profile image
Hi! Thank you so much for your interest in Castaway located in Cherry Log in the North Georgia Mountains. I have been an Owner/Property Manager of several condos over the course of 17 years at Edgewater Beach Condominium located in Destin, Florida. I have just recently sold my last condo. This has given me the opportunity to focus on my guests at Castaway. Our personal cabin is just 5 cabins away which allows me to be hands-on whenever needed. One of my joys is to make sure my guests have an incredible and worry-free time. I feel that begins well before their stay, during and after. I have truly enjoyed getting to know my guests and want them to feel they have found their "Home-away-from-home". So it just made since to purchase this wonderful cabin in the Mountains as they are so close to us. I'm so excited to be able to offer this beautiful property so families and friends can be together and share life-long memories. I hope that Castaway will become your home-away-from-home too! Welcome to the North Georgia Mountains!
