We stayed at this cabin for the Georgia Apple Festival in Ellijay, Ga. It unfortunately happened to be at the same time as Hurricane Isaias' arrival so while we didnt get the enjoy the property for as many days as we would have liked, we were cozy and dry inside this wonderful cabin. Grilled cheese sandwiches and soup never tasted so good! This cabin has everything you need. It is the perfect riverside, mountain cabin. The wrap around porch/deck has plenty of seating and great views. The one day we were able to enjoy the property we hung out by the little river and the dogs had a great time chasing the leaves as they flowed downstream. There are deer everywhere. The property is close to several apple orchard businesses, including Reeces Cidery, which is a must visit! Amicolola Falls and the start of the Appalachian Trail is right down the road. The town of Ellijay is 15 minutes away and there are plenty of grocery stores/shops for supplies. The family has already requested that I book this cabin for next years festival!

This property was perfect for what we were looking for and more! My favorite things about this rental is that it’s on a clean beautiful creek with sitting area, has hot tub, fire pit, views from the complete wrap around porch, horseshoes, hammocks, and privacy! We enjoyed our time immensely!

Hello Alexa, it was great having you guys. Sorry about the neighbor's dog. Her name is Luna and harmless, I know she has shown up there several times, I have asked the neighbor to keep her up, but he says she is an escape artist. I will be visiting with him again to let him know she was over there, There are no wild dogs just one that the neighbor cant seem to keep in his fence. I will be taking care of that. Thanks for staying with us.

We rent a lot of cabins throughout Blue Ridge, Ellijay, Helen, etc. And never has there been one with as much charm and character. We would love to come back again in the summer and enjoy all this place has to offer!

Gorgeous Rustic Cabin, Beautiful Property

This was our second stay at this cabin. We love its rustic, cozy feel and the property is absolutely beautiful. One of our favorite features is the wrap around balcony with an abundance of seating for family and friends. The lower apartment was perfect for my mother-in-law. Stone steps take you down to the creekfront, where you can sit in chairs right next to the water.

We come back every year!

We have fallen in love with this property and come back every October to relax and go apple picking. We love to have fires in the fire pit and soak in the hot tub. The kids stay upstairs and the adults stay downstairs so we all have our privacy and then come together. The orchards and wineries in the area are wonderful. Everything is clean and we had everything we needed. We’ll be back!

Great little Hideaway

We loved staying at Clear Creek! My kids had a blast in the water! So much so, that we barely even used the hot tub. The only "negative" feedback were the ants if food wasn't closed up entirely and any dirty dishes were left out, but I guess that's expected when you're in a rural area. Overall, rate it a 10, though

Family retreat and getaway

The property was ideal for our two day getaway. I was glad to see an ample supply of firewood even though we brought bundles! The fire pit turned out to be the center of our gathering. The profile does not do it justice! Kind of felt like a visit to gramma and grandpa s 😀. Grandkids and dog had a ball running around the yard and running down to the stream.!! All were exhausted and slept well. Kitchen was well provisioned. Enjoyed our stay!

We are so glad your family had a good time. When my kids were little they were the grandkids running thru the yard. My parents, who build this cabin, were so happy when the many grandkids would come for a stay! You will just have to come back in the summer to play in the creek. It's MAGICIAL!!!!

Cool mountain getaway

The cabin was the right size for our family of 5. We thought the outside only stairs to the lower level were strange. Our 2 young adult sons down there probably enjoyed it though. We enjoyed both the hot tub and the creek. They were very relaxing and refreshing after a day of hiking. Loved the information in the cabin about the area. The cell phone connection was spotty as mentioned but the internet connection was spotty also.

Best vacation ever !

Took a weekend with friends and brought the dogs! Dog’s had an absolute blast! Oh my goodness! The creek was amazing, don’t be afraid to put the chairs in the water and pour yourself a drink. Hours of nothing but peaceful, private relaxation. Place was spotless, everything I could think of that I needed, I had. The place comes with everything inside and out. Outdoor fireplace is awesome, outdoor games, hammock and wrap around porch to watch the deer, made our trip so memorable. Rent this place if you want absolute privacy, peace and quiet. Thank you Windy for being an amazing host, we will be back soon.

Nice place

It was nice and I'm definitely not complaining. We lived the outside. The yard is amazing and it is right on a creek. We had campfires and it was absolutely beautiful. The inside is TINY and cramped. The beds and furniture were very uncomfortable and in need of updating. The shower was unpleasant and it was very musty inside the home. Again, we are not complaining just want to let anyone else know who may want to stay. Its not quite what we expected inside but the outside was awesome.

Alexander and the family were very nice. They took great care of the property. Just great! We appreciate your response and want all of our guests to have an enjoyable and comfortable stay at our retreat. We have just this month (12/2020) replaced all the beds with new high quality orthopedic mattresses and all the living room furniture (both floors) with new high quality couches, love seats, and recliners. We have done our best to declutter while still providing all the amenities a vacationer needs to stay comfortable and safe. We hope you will come back to see the improvements.

Great location with lots to do.

Cabin is located directly in clear Creek which was very nice and relaxing. Our 5 year old loved picking rocks in the creek and looking for "gold" and treasure. Cabin had a nice homey feel and a lot of decorations. Main level of the cabin had 1 bedroom, 1 full bathroom with laundry room, a full kitchen and family room area with a trundle bed and a recliner. The upstairs is only accessible from outside the main level, which is a little inconvenient, but has 2 bedrooms, 1 full bathroom, a full kitchen and a dining area and family room. The entire upstairs haS an entire wrap around porch with plenty of room for sitting and eating. The hot tub was a nice way to relax at night after putting the kids to bed. Overall we would definitely recommend this cabin and look forward to coming back again.

Wonderful weekend!

We had some difficulty with checking in (codes were not texted to us as promised), but once we were in, we had a wonderful time. This is our second year staying here for our annual family apple picking, and we love this house! The kids can stay upstairs while the parents relax downstairs. We had a fire in the fire pit and enjoyed the hot tub. It was too cold for the creek, but we took long walks and enjoyed the scenery. We particularly like the B.J. Reece orchard nearby. Definitely recommend this property; we will be back next year!

SWEET Retreat!

This rental could not have been more perfect for our family's wants this vacation. The stream, the gracious hosts, the little family things (sandbox, swing, wonderful firepit, tubes, multiple outdoor seatings, wraparound porch, etc.) just made the trip. It's not cushy resort style, just good, comfortable, relaxing country living. The only downside was a neighbor's dog. Not dangerous, just a little annoying. All in all, a great stay!

Celebrating a 60th birthday

2 adults and 2 fur babies. We all loved this property. Hot tub under the stars with a full moon was perfect for our relaxation trip. Lots to do or just sit back and watch nature. Birds and squirrels were very busy during our mid-March visit. Anthony or Janice were always there for us for our questions. Wonder property!!!!!

6/10 Okay

Liked: Check-in, communication, location

It was okay

Good: Seamless Check-in Privacy Creek view Wrap around porch Separate apartment for family that wanted their own space/privacy (for two). Fire pit Deer visits Beds were comfy Linens were clean Decorated for Christmas Hot tub Need improvement: -Upstairs needs a deep clean -Decor fell on my head when I closed (not slammed) a kitchen cabinet. Not usually a big deal, but it was painful. -Upstairs bathroom decor (porcelain dogs) cluttered the space that could be used by guests. -Although disclosed, one roll of toilet tissue for each bathroom for an 8 guest house doesn’t make sense. I paid a little over $2,000 for a one week stay, I would think they could spring for 2 rolls per bathroom. I left extra rolls for the next guest (hopefully). -“Kitchen fully stocked” meant between the two kitchens. I found myself having to go down stairs to the separate “apartment” to find kitchen items that I needed to cook with upstairs…a lot. -Needs a butcher block of sharp knives. I cooked breakfast and dinner there and it was tough without a variety of knives, especially sharp ones. -Needs some type of pantry on each level. I brought a lot of food and had no place to put it. Had to walk around boxes of food all week. The upstairs desk area could be a possibility for a pantry. -I did all the cooking upstairs and made a lot of casseroles. The gas oven wasn’t cooking the center of anything, which was frustrating. I didn’t try the oven downstairs so I can’t speak to that one. -Had to FaceTime audio if I needed to call a family member downstairs. Connection wasn’t that great, but it is in the mountains. I could surf the internet 99% of the time without issue though. -I think landscaping would go along way with this place. (My opinion of course) Just a FYI for future renters: -The upstairs is really small. -Hardly any counter space downstairs. -If you want luxury, this isn’t it. If you are a snob who looks for things to complain about, do not stay here. -If you don’t like cabin/country/thrift shop decor, you won’t like the decor. -If you don’t like mixed matched kitchen wares, you won’t like the kitchens.

Grateful Family Thanksgiving

What a beautiful place to spend Thanksgiving! With adult children and their kids, there was something for everyone to have a relaxed, fun time. Fishing in the beautiful creek, campfires in the fire pit, horseshoe tournaments and everything from a sandbox to yard games for the little ones. The deer came morning and evening and even played with a dog from nearby! And top it off with a well kept hot tub it doesn’t get better! The whole cabin was warm and inviting. Thank you so much for sharing this place. It is truly a family retreat. Great job!
