Rustic River Cabin, trout fishing, dog loving, beach area on secluded 8.5 acres!

Stix and Stones Hilltop Cabin is a very private log cabin nestled in the woods on a charming 8.5 acre large, secluded lot.  We offer big weekly discounts.

This rustic little slice of heaven is perched on a beautifully landscaped hilltop overlooking its grassy valley.  Enjoy chilling out, swimming, fishing, or just listen to the rushing water of Stover Creek that runs through the property. 

Savor utmost privacy all year long with no neighbors in view. Relieve the stress of life further by watching local wildlife watching by. Relish the best nature has to offer from the veranda from one of the rocking chairs, or dine on the open sided furnished porch with gas grill. Prefer a charcoal grill? There is one located just off the deck. 
When it gets cold outside, relax in a rocking chair in front of a real wood burning stove. Firewood is provided.

If you have dogs, please click on the {guest >} and add the pet fee. We welcome and love dogs, have one ourselves, they are family. They are allowed to run free. There is also a 1/4 acre fenced area right at the cabin.

There are 2 bolder fire pits for eating on the grounds areas, covered parking area for recreation vehicles, and even an area for horse trailers. Three full bedrooms provide sleeping for up to six adults. Two full baths, washer and dryer are offered for guest laundry. The kitchen is well equipped including refrigerator, microwave, coffee pot, electric stove and oven. There is a Smart TV, Prime Video, DVD player, DSL, and WIFI, the cabin has central heat and air. 

Our little slice of paradise is located in the Blue Ridge Wildlife Management Area of the Chattahoochee National Forrest, only an hour and a half from Atlanta. The surrounding area beckons with fun and adventure all year long. The Benton MacKaye and Appalachian Trail heads are about 12 miles away on Springer Mt. Aska and other trails lead to beautiful waterfalls, swinging bridges and fabulous mountain views. Infinite fishing opportunities await you at stocked and natural streams. Kayaking and tubing are offered on the close by Cartecay and Toccoa rivers, they also provide inexpensive shuttles and take you back to your car.  More challenging whitewater rafting is close by. Enjoy biking? Get your mountain bikes ready and explore the trails or spend a day horse back riding. 

The quaint little town of Ellijay is about 15 miles away. Downtown Ellijay offers an abundance of antique shops, art galleries, boutiques and fabulous restaurants. Streets buzz in October during the annual Apple Festival, a guests favorite! Most orchards are open year round and offer tours. Hayrides, putt-putt golf and petting zoos are most treasured by our younger guests. Special occasion around the corner? Summit Wedding Farm is just minutes away. The opportunities are endless! 

The historic city of Blue Ridge is about 25 miles away from the cabin. There you can board an old fashioned train for an excursion along the Toccoa River. Blue Ridge is famous for its shopping, bars and restaurants. Or simply drive up the winding roads of Northwest GA - it is breathtaking! Everywhere you go you will be greeted by Southern hospitality and charm, many of the locals have a few stories to tell. 

We are excited to welcoming you soon at our little slice of heaven and share what we love most. Stix and Stones Hilltop Cabin is quite special and unique. Visit us soon and experience it yourself!

Your hosts, Andrew and Suzanne.

Wonderful time

Cabin was great for our family of 4 and 2 dogs. Couldn't have asked for a better way to bring in the new year. Cabin has everything we needed plus some. We want to come back during warmer months to take our kids fishing!

Great Stay

We had a great time, especially the pup. The house was well stocked, had plenty of outdoor fenced space and the owners were very responsive. Property was as described. Would certainly recommend for a small family with a dog looking to really get away.

Mountain Paradise

This is the place for peace and tranquilty. The cabin is stocked with everything you will need and then some. The decor is thoughtful and entertaining. Beds are amazing, expecially in the master. Fireplace and wood burning stove is perfect if you visit in the colder times and completely under AC for the warmer times. Kitchen works perfectly. The creek and stream provide great outdoor adventures. To top it all off, your can bring your best friend along for the fun, the dog friendly environment is the best. Our dog, Valor couldn't decide if he liked the snow or the stream & creek better. If you need anything, the owners are on the spot, friendly awesome folks!

Fantastic Grounds, Peaceful and private

Our labradoodles and husband, myself and 32 year old son enjoyed the lovely cabin, solitude and grounds. The nearby stream was great for our pooches, the 1/4 acre fenced dog run was fantastic for them and us:). We visited nearby towns for wonderful lunches, as well as The Fainting Goat Vineyard. Goats nice, no fainting...wine was great! All in all, a wonderful stay!

Amazing cabin

The cabin was extremely neat. It was perfect. It had land for my dog to run and a creek for her to play in. The weather was so much cooler than Florida. I did not want to go home.

Great, quiet stay!

We loved our time here! So nice and quiet, property was well maintained and gave our 2 dogs plenty of areas to walk, staying cooler with the shady areas all around the property. The creek was of great excitement for our creek obsessed dog and the trails nearby were great for other dog. We loved being able to drive down to the creek so that they could enjoy a walk on the trail and not have to walk back up in the humidity. Kitchen was well equipped and cozy!

Excellent Dogcation

This is our 4th stay here at the cabin! That should say it all but we have to keep saying it’s the best best-friend friendly cabin around! Hands down. Big fenced yard for carefree running around. The house has everything you need for a carefree stay. The creek area is the best dog friendly swimming you’ll find. No neighbors or other animals to deal with. Perfect for playtime. If you want solitude this is the place Yet still convenient to many small towns and orchards to visit. .
