About this property

Private Pond, Historic Cabin on 12 Acres Clean, Comfortable, Away From Crowds

Get away from what ails you in our Secluded Lakeside Pine Cabin with 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms on 12 acres on gated private road near the Cohutta Wilderness. No better place to get isolated than in a country cabin in the woods with a pond! Cast a line in our private fishing pond or muddy your fat tires, hikin’ boots or huntin’ coveralls on some of Georgia’s most beautiful mountain land, nearly at our doorstep.

Pond is stocked with bass, bream, catfish and crappie.


Cabin is situated on big, grassy yard beside fishing pond 10 miles from charming downtown Ellijay. Rent our sturdy canoe for a paddle cruise or fishing tour around the pond. Wind up your pitching arm for a game of corn hole...corn bags and boards provided. Watch the deer graze and turkeys peck from the wrap-around porch. Relax by the campfire while your buddies catch a few fish and throw them back. Bring your football, soccer ball or croquet set (?) for a game on the grass; come on back in the house to recover in comfort. Listen to the bullfrogs croon on the pond in the evening.

Home has all wood floors, master and full bathroom on main, one bedroom, parlor, additional room and bath upstairs in the loft. Rock fireplace with gas logs in living room invites warm conversation or quality TV time. Yes, we have Satellite TVs in living room and upstairs parlor with lots of channels. And, although we’re in the backwoods, we have wireless fiber Internet, too!

Propane and charcoal grills on porch outside kitchen door.

All linens provided. Full size washer & dryer. Sleeps 6.

Area amenities: Numerous hiking trails in the Cohutta Mountains and wilderness area lead you to the Conasauga River and Lake Conasauga, waterfalls, and massive “Big Poplar,” the second largest tree in North Georgia. Mountain bike on Forest Service roads or contact a nearby outfitter about gearing you up and getting you out. Take a short drive up to Fort Mountain State Park for gorgeous views of the Georgia mountains from the car or trail and marvel at mysterious rock ruins from another age. Drive into Ellijay to get a pizza or dine at one of the unique local restaurants. Discover history, get nostalgic at local antique shops. Plan your fall visit around the apple harvest and the Georgia Apple Festival, 2nd and 3rd weekends in October. Hunt for deer, turkey, bear, feral hogs in the Cohutta Wildlife Management Area or three other WMAs within close range. Go 4-wheeling on trails in the Conasauga section of the Chattahoochee National Forest. Saddle up your horses for rides in the National Forest or at Fort Mountain State Park.

Come on up to the Country. Stay a while in our Secluded Lakeside Pine Cabin!

The house was very cozy, clean and the fireplace felt so good. We needed the solitude this afforded us. We arrived after dark and had trouble finding the driveway, so I advise a trial run or arrive well before dark.

Beautiful setting, nice cabin, but the furnishings are old and worn. Bed sheets are shredding.

Response from VrboOwner on 10 Sept 2025
I'm glad the guest liked the cabin and its tranquil setting. Some of the furniture is antique and vintage farmhouse style. It remains comfortable and appropriate for the country home that this cabin is. Some older sheets were left at the house for emergency use. Apparently a new housekeeping hire put them on the queen beds. They will be removed and new sheets will be provided.

Perfect Family Getaway

This cozy cabin was perfect for our family. It allowed us to disconnect from our busy lives and spend some quality time together. My son and husband loved fishing while I sat outside with them and read. We played games and worked on a puzzle by the fire. Would 100% stay here again.
