Cherry Log Chic - Perfectly Positioned Between Blue Ridge & Ellijay
A Curated Cabin Experience
"Nestled among the pines of Cherry Log, we’ve created a space where you can disconnect from the noise and reconnect with nature—without sacrificing the 5-star comforts of home." — Roger & Stephanie
Welcome to our stylish 2BR/2BA sanctuary, perfectly positioned between the charming mountain towns of Blue Ridge and Ellijay. As hospitality professionals with over 30 years of experience, we’ve curated every detail of this cabin to ensure it’s not just a stay, but a true North Georgia adventure.
WHY OUR CABIN IS UNIQUE
The Perfect Middle Ground: Located in the heart of Cherry Log, you are exactly 15 minutes from the upscale dining of Blue Ridge and 15 minutes from the famous apple orchards and local charm of Ellijay.
A "Brand Curator’s" Touch: Forget the "cluttered" cabin look. Our space features a calm, modern-mountain aesthetic with open-concept living, soaring ceilings, and high-end finishes.
Work from the Woods: Need to stay connected? We’ve included a dedicated workspace with high-speed Wi-Fi, perfect for the "digital nomad" who wants a view of the pines while they work.
SLEEP & SANCTUARY
Two Private Bedrooms: Each room is designed for ultimate rest with premium linens and a tranquil atmosphere.
Two Full Bathrooms: No sharing needed!
In-Unit Laundry: A full-size washer and dryer are available for those long hiking weekends.
OUTDOOR LIVING & ADVENTURE
The magic of the North Georgia mountains is best experienced outside. Our cabin features:
The Fire Pit: The ultimate spot for s'mores and storytelling.
Grill: Ready for a mountain cookout? Our grill is perfect for searing steaks or slow-smoking a feast.
Wildlife Watching: It’s common to see deer or hear the wood peckers while sipping your morning coffee on the porch.
EXPLORE THE AREA
You are in the heart of Georgia’s wine country and outdoor adventure hub:
Wineries: Visit several award-winning vineyards just a short drive away for a unique North GA tasting experience.
Hiking: Nearby trails offer everything from easy forest walks to challenging Appalachian climbs.
Downtown Fun: Explore the boutiques, antique shops, and "farm-to-table" dining scenes in both nearby towns.
MOUNTAIN LIVING: WHAT TO EXPECT
We love the "off the grid" feel of Cherry Log, but mountain living comes with its own unique personality! We like to keep it real with our guests:
The Road to Paradise: To get those "nestled in the pines" views, you’ll be traveling on paved roads until the very end, where you’ll hit a classic North Georgia gravel drive. Most vehicles handle it just fine, but it’s a good reminder that you’re truly heading into nature!
Mountain Infrastructure: Sometimes Mother Nature beats us! Haha. Between the elevation and the local infrastructure, mountain water and power can occasionally be "iffy" during heavy weather. We do our best to keep everything running smoothly, but a little patience goes a long way when you're living life at a slower pace.
THE GARNER STANDARD
Just like our beachfront properties, our Georgia cabin is managed with a 5-star standard. You are communicating directly with us—not a management company. We are committed to transparency, responsiveness, and ensuring your mountain escape is flawless.
Ready to soak in the magic of the pines? Book your cabin getaway today!

About the host
Hosted by Stephanie Garner
Meet Your Hosts: Roger & Stephanie 🌲
"From the Emerald Coast to the Blue Ridge Mountains, hospitality is our heartbeat."
We are Roger and Stephanie Garner, and if there’s one thing 30+ years in the hospitality and real estate industry has taught us, it’s that a great vacation isn’t just about a place to sleep—it’s about how that place makes you feel.
The Starry Stays Cabin Story
After years of building our "Starry Stays" brand on the coast, we felt the call of the North Georgia mountains. We wanted a sanctuary where we could trade the sound of waves for the whisper of the pines. When we found this cabin in Cherry Log, we knew it was the perfect "middle ground"—nestled exactly 15 minutes between the upscale dining of Blue Ridge and the nostalgic apple orchards of Ellijay.
Curated Mountain Living
As a Brand Curator, Stephanie has designed this cabin to be a "calm amongst the pines." We’ve stepped away from the typical cluttered cabin decor to create a sleek, modern-mountain aesthetic. Whether you’re here to hike the nearby trails, visit the local wineries, or "work from the woods" in our dedicated workspace, we’ve ensured the essentials—from the pellet grill to the linens—meet our 5-star standards.
Real Talk & Real Hospitality
We believe in 100% transparency. This is a true mountain escape! That means you’ll enjoy a classic gravel drive, the occasional "iffy" mountain infrastructure when Mother Nature beats us (haha), and a well-loved, vintage hot tub that’s perfect for a starlit soak. We aren't a faceless management company; we are a husband-and-wife team committed to making sure your mountain adventure is as seamless as it is memorable.
When we aren't prepping the cabin for your arrival, we’re likely back home in the Louisville area.
We are so excited to welcome you to our mountain paradise.

Why they chose this property
Why We Chose Cherry Log: The "30A of the Mountains"
People often ask why we chose this specific spot in North Georgia, and the answer is simple: It reminds us of everything we love about 30A. While the scenery has traded emerald waves for emerald pines, the "vibe" is exactly the same. We fell in love with this neighborhood for its:
Laid-Back Luxury: Just like the coastal life we adore, Cherry Log offers a slower pace where the dress code is "mountain casual" and the goal is relaxation.
Boutique Spirit: We are positioned perfectly between Blue Ridge and Ellijay, giving our guests access to the best boutique shopping and independent galleries in North Georgia.
Dining & Wine: The neighborhood is a gateway to several stunning North Georgia wineries and "farm-to-table" dining experiences that rival our favorite coastal spots.
Golf & Great Outdoors: Whether you’re looking to hit the links at a nearby mountain course or hit the trails for a morning hike, this neighborhood is the ultimate "home base" for an active but upscale getaway.
Why We Chose Hidden Lake in Cherry Log
When we were searching for the perfect mountain escape, Cherry Log was our top choice because it offers the ultimate "middle ground"—nestled exactly 15 minutes between the upscale dining of Blue Ridge and the nostalgic charm of Ellijay. But it was the Hidden Lake neighborhood that truly won us over.
The Best of Both Worlds: We love that you get the "deep woods" feel without the "difficult woods" drive. Unlike many mountain rentals that require a 4x4 or nerves of steel, our cabin is accessed via smooth, paved roads all the way through the community until you hit our drive.
A Well-Appointed Community: Hidden Lake isn't just a collection of cabins; it’s a beautifully maintained, prestigious neighborhood.
The "Neighborhood Loop": The community features a large, walkable loop that is perfect for getting your steps in while soaking up the mountain air.

What makes this property unique
What Makes Our Mountain Retreat Unique?
We didn't want to create just another "cookie-cutter" cabin. We wanted a sanctuary that felt intentional, modern, and deeply connected to the land.
A "Stripped Down" Aesthetic: Steph had a specific vision for this space: Modern-Mountain Minimalist. We stripped away the typical, cluttered cabin decor to create a "calm amongst the pines." The design is sleek and intentional, allowing the natural beauty outside to be the star of the show.
The Sound of the Creek: One of the most magical things about this property is the soundtrack. When you’re sitting on the deck or falling asleep, you can hear the gentle rush of the nearby creek. It’s nature’s own white noise machine.
The "Firepit Journey": We’ve designed the outdoor experience to be a bit of an adventure. Follow the nice, scenic walk down the hill to our secluded firepit area. It’s tucked away from the cabin, making it the perfect "destination" for evening s’mores and stargazing.
True Privacy: If you’re looking to escape the "cabin-on-top-of-cabin" feel of many North Georgia developments, this is it. We have no immediate neighbors, giving you a sense of total seclusion and peace.
The Neighborhood Loop: For those who love a morning stroll, our neighborhood features a large, walkable loop. It’s rare to find a mountain community that offers such a great, accessible path for a long walk right from your front door.
