This was a great place to stay. The location on the river was perfect. There were cascades straight out from cabin that made beautiful river sounds that could be heard from the screened in porch. We had deer come really close to the porch, looking for a handout, I think.Terry and Cathy

Our main criteria was to stay at a pet friendly home on a creek or river that you can hear the water from the home, and we needed a grill and fire pit. This home fit the criteria perfectly. The host was very receptive to our inquiries and requests. The beds were comfortable and furnishings were nice. As the description says, the home is in need of some work / upgrades, therefore we were not expecting perfection. There definitely is a need for some cosmetic repairs in spots, and maybe some appliance upgrades. But don't let this deter you. The home was cleaned well and it is in a quiet location. My wife is a little OCD when it comes to cleanliness and she was satisfied enough that she is already considering a revisit with some of her friends. (One note of caution that should be listed in the description is the steep drop-off at the edge of the property into the creek. I am not sure if the creek is unusually low right now due to the drought, but it is a far drop if a pet or toddler got to close to the edge. It appears that most properties nearby were the same way)

The cabin was clean and comfortable and the location was perfect for the purpose of this trip which was to relax and enjoy a quiet area. The beautiful views and sounds of the river was the perfect backdrop and the cabin was close enough to groceries and downtown Ellijay without losing the rustic appeal. We would love to book this again in the summer!
