The cabin was just as it was depicted in the photos and the host. Damon provided all the information that we need to get into the cabin smoothly and quickly. We had a great time at the cabin. I would highly recommend this cabin. It was only two of us and it was plenty of room. Another advantage is the gated communityit was a smooth drive up to the cabin and just moments away from Ellijay. thank you again, Damon for allowing us the pleasure of staying in your cabin.

We loved staying here! It was clean, well-stocked with anything we needed, and was close to everything! We hiked the small trail to the Falls, and my husband enjoyed fishing around the ponds on property. Brandon helped quickly and efficiently with a small snafu at check-in, and we appreciated that! We hope to stay again!!!
