We had a fantastic time. The interior and grounds are really well taken care of. It’s obvious the hosts have tried really hard to provide anything guests might need. We loved roasting marshmallows by the fire pit and hiking the various trails on the property.

Wonderful place and as described. Lots of room and amenities and close enough to town that travel for things wasn’t a prolonged ordeal. Lots of nature and wildlife along with good fishing and personal watercraft. Would definitely stay again if we travel to Ellijay area again

Excellent property! My family and I had a blast. If seclusion and privacy are your things, then this is the place! There is no shortage of fun things to do while at the property. The lake and all the outdoor amenities were awesome. The fishing in the lake was great, if you pick the right baits. The house was super cozy and clean and our entire family enjoyed every minute of it!! Downtown Ellijay is great and close to Blue Ridge also. We will definitely be back!!! Thank you !!

One of the cleanest vrbo I have been to. There wasn’t even any dust anywhere. Fantastic hosts they really thought of everything and supplied you with things you may not have even thought to bring. Although it rained at some point everyday we really enjoyed the fishing. Nice property to itself to just relax and unwind. Perfect place I would definitely stay here again as I’m already planning a spring trip back to here.

It is secluded but still close enough to town so you can explore during the day and rest at night. The hot tub, lake, inside games were awesome! We can't wait to visit again.

Lovely property; Sweet Cabin with comfortable beds and bathrooms. The kitchen was so well stocked; very easy to cook; great location...close to Fort Mountain State Park and Ellijay. Bit longer drive to Blue Ridge. The hosts were amazing; communication was excellent and they gave excellent directions and had a great visitors guide in the cabin! We hope to come back!

Great place for a family trip

This place was the perfect spot for our family of 5. We thoroughly enjoyed the lake, hiking trails, and assortment of games provided by the hosts. The property is very clean and well kept, inside and out. The hosts have put thought into every detail. Will definitely recommend and hopefully come back!

A much needed magical escape

We had the most amazing adventure with our group of teens here. From fishing and playing the water to the most incredible and magical hike that had us all feeling like children again. We will most definitely be back and stay longer
