The Cottage in the Woods was a well appointed cabin. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and especially appreciated the screened in porch. We liked that the kitchen, dining and living areas were joined so that we weren't cut off from each other.
We absolutely loved The Cottage in the Woods! So peaceful and relaxing. The beds were super comfortable. The amenities were amazing. The hostess had decorated the cabin for Xmas and even left snacks for us in a basket. We highly recommend this cabin and resort and would definitely stay there again.
We had an amazing stay. It was just what we needed to unwind in a hectic world. We watched deer from the patios, cozied up on the couch and had a big kitchen to cook. Everything we needed for a home away from our home. We will be back.
Great stay, the home is clean, beds comfortable and we felt instantly at home. We enjoyed the neighborhood amenities like fishing in the pond and river and swimming in the pools. We plan to stay again!
Absolutely beautiful home...comfortable and homey...every thing you need. Quality accommodations.Amazing roadways throughout. So many interesting places to check out..we visited 3 state parks, all beautiful! And..the resort itself offers an abundance of amenities. Would love to visit again. We've never been to this side of Georgia. An awesome surprise!
Enjoyed our stay and your beautiful cabin was very clear and had all the comforts of home. The pool and club house are very nice. Hope to return in the future.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. There was everything that we needed and some. It was easy getting in the gate, with the attendant or calling for entry. We plan on staying here in the future.
The only problem we had was there were only 4 rolls of toilet paper for 3 people for a week. There was no dishwasher detergent or laundry detergent. In the other cabins we’ve rented for a week from Vrbo, we had tons of toilet paper and dishwasher detergent and laundry detergent to last us all week. The layout and location of the cabin was wonderful, and the beds were comfortable. The front porch and screened in porch were nice to hang out with family, and let our dog run in the front porch. We really enjoyed our stay.
Clean and comfortable with nice decor. Loved fireplace! It’s in a good location and easy to go so many places. We went in a different direction each day. It made our anniversary really special. We also had half dozen deer come visit our front yard. Would definitely like to return.
This property is in a very quiet resort area. I think we saw two people in 3 days.
House was very comfortable and just a short drive away from Elijay First time as a VRBO customer and process was very easy.
Loved the cottage and the layout. Easily accessed and close to check-in gate. Well equipped cabin and lots of deer to feed. Circle driveway & fire pits in front & backyard. Loved the location. Will return! Host was amazing.
We stay in Ellijay every year and this cabin is by far our favorite. The decor is charming and it is very well equipped. Christine was awesome and answered all of our questions quickly. We spent a lot of time visiting the winery’s in the area….Ott is especially nice. We enjoyed our stay so much we booked again for later in the year.
