My husband, son, and I really enjoyed our stay here. The house was clean, beautifully decorated, and very well supplied with lots of extras not available at most rentals. We especially loved the covered back porch with the wonderful view.... great for morning coffee and afternoon reading. I highly recommend!

This house by far was the most private residence in the entire development. Everything was taken care of by the owners. We had a great time! We saw more deer in five days than we have in our entire life. We even got these several woodchucks!! We enjoyed listening to the sounds of the river from the house. The hot tub was wonderful! Ellijay was a fun town to visit. Thanks Charlie for providing us with all the goodies you left us! The apple pie was yummy!

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear you enjoyed the privacy of the cabin and had such a memorable stay. It sounds like the local wildlife put on quite a show—seeing deer every day and even spotting woodchucks is such a special mountain experience! We're glad you were able to relax in the hot tub, unwind to the soothing sounds of the river, and explore the charming town of Ellijay. It's also wonderful to hear that you enjoyed the welcome treats—especially the apple pie! Thank you again for choosing to stay with us. We'd be honored to welcome you back for another peaceful mountain getaway!

A great spot for making memories in the Georgia mountains! We loved sitting on the deck hearing the creek below. Home was clean and well-stocked with kitchen supplies, linens, etc. Hosts were very hospitable. We felt very private, and also safe being in a lovely gated community. The roads to the home are all paved, except for the last stretch of a very navigable gravel street (our minivan handled fine). Lots of deer in the community. We enjoyed hot tub, air hockey, foosball, and roasting hot dogs and s'mores on the outdoor fire pit. The set-up was perfect for us and our two adult sons - everyone enjoyed having their own rooms and bathrooms. The stairway down to the creek is breathtaking (and a great workout!). A truly lovely home in an idyllic mountain setting.

Thank you so much for this wonderful review! We’re thrilled that your family enjoyed the peaceful mountain setting, the sounds of the creek, and all the special touches that make this home such a great place to gather and make memories. It sounds like you made the most of everything—from relaxing in the hot tub and enjoying the game room to roasting hot dogs and s’mores around the fire pit. And yes, that stairway to the creek is definitely a workout, but the view at the bottom makes it worth every step! Most of all, we’re so happy that the layout gave you and your sons plenty of space to relax while still enjoying time together. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of the home and for sharing your experience with future guests. We would absolutely love to welcome you back to the Georgia mountains!

This place is magical!!! The drive in the community can be a bit tight and hilly but worth it. The steps to creek are no joke but again so worth the climb. Just take your time and enjoy the views. The best part!!Listening to the creek and the birds everyday was like your sleep sounds playing consistently. What a wonderful place to relax. Had some wildlife visitors and while driving through the addition made it all more exciting. Very clean was more than enough room for us to hang out together and separately. The pool is about 10 minutes drive and was nice just amenity. The area offers some fun places to visit and things to do would love to stay again. The hosts were amazing and quickly answered any concerns or questions!

Thank you so much for your incredible review! We absolutely love hearing that you found the cabin "magical"—that's one of the greatest compliments we could receive. We're so glad you enjoyed relaxing to the peaceful sounds of the creek and birds, spotting wildlife throughout the community, and having plenty of space for everyone to gather and unwind. You're right—the walk down to the creek is an adventure, but we're happy to hear you found it well worth the effort and enjoyed the beautiful scenery along the way. It's also wonderful to know you were able to take advantage of the community pool, explore the local area, and that our team was able to respond quickly whenever you had questions. Thank you for choosing to stay with us and for taking the time to share your experience. We'd be honored to welcome you back for another relaxing mountain getaway—we'll be here whenever you're ready!

Quiet weekend of fishing and hanging with friends.

Frigging awesome and as a bonus we caught some fish. Very clean, nicely appointed. Really a nice place. I think we ended up losing weight climbing those stairs. Dont let those stairs keep you away. Every bit worth the climb.

Hi Anne, thank you so much for the kind and well thought out review. I did those stairs when I met the owner to assist as a Co-host and I did have to stop talking to continue to walk up. But what a spectacular place to stay. Thank you so much for letting everyone else know!

Birthday weekend getaway

Oh. My. Goodness. What a cabin! It was SO clean. (Which is a big deal for this nurse.) The owners were SO easy to communicate with every time we had a question. They were also so accommodating by having coffee, snacks, drinks, and even an apple pie from the local farmers market. The game room was so fun and the hot tub was amazing.

Host profile image
Welcome to Stairway to Haven! We are beyond excited to have you stay. Ellijay has become a very special place to us. So many great ways to enjoy nature and the outdoors. The downtown area, apple orchards and wineries make for a unique destination and escape from the daily grind that we always look forward to experiencing. We were very fortunate to purchase this property in early 2022. We have spent over eight months transforming this property into a destination that our family really adores. We hope you will too! Sincerely, Charlie & Rachel.

Why they chose this property

This home features a great room on the main level with living area, dining, and kitchen. Kitchen includes oversized island with four bar stools and is stocked with amenities. A unique barnwood lined fireplace is the center piece of the living room where traditional wood-burning fire can warm this cozy space that includes 55” Smart TV. Journey out to the back deck that is equipped with comfortable wicker furniture and breath-taking views of Mountaintown Creek. The main floor has two bedrooms and two full baths. Each bedroom is outfitted with King Size bed and luxury bedding / linens. The Master also has access to the back deck as well as 42” Smart TV mounted on the wall and on-suite bathroom. Both bedrooms have walk-in closets. The basement level has a den also equipped with a 55” Smart TV and allows access to 3rd full bathroom and the bunkroom via sliding barn doors. In the back of the room is a game table with 4 stools and access out to the back patio as well as the gameroom. The gameroom has brand new foos ball and air hockey tables along with a rustic bar and TV area with couch and 65” Smart TV. The game cabinet contains classics and newer games to entertain your crew. Lots of natural light with the addition of the glass garage door / window. You can access both the driveway for a possible game of corn hole or the back patio. The back patio is setup for entertaining and enjoying the serenity of nature that surrounds you. There is a full dining table which sits up to 8 people and a fire pit area with more chairs. Find the brand new gas grill and Master Spas Hot Tub which comfortably fits 6 adults on this level along with a rollable beverage cooler.

What makes this property unique

For those that want to experience the mighty creek up close, take the stairs down to the river’s edge. There is a larger landing halfway down with two chairs and table as well. At the bottom find another fire pit (yes there are two on the property!), six more chairs, a picnic table, and stone stairway providing easiest access down the bank into the creek for wading, fishing, or just exploring this slice of haven. You truly may not want to leave your property at all. However, you are only about 6.6 miles to downtown Ellijay which is lined with unique local eateries and shops. You are 6.4 miles to the shopping center including Walmart in East Ellijay. Delivery is an option for food and groceries thanks to services like DoorDash. Downtown Blue Ridge is 22.5 miles away. You have great access to other attractions in the area including many apple orchards, wineries, hiking, carter’s lake, tubing on local rivers, Fort Mountain State park and Amicalola Falls to name a few highlights.
