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.  

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.

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. .

Family weekend getaway with dogs
We had the most wonderful, relaxing weekend getaway for our family of four adults and two dogs. We played with the dogs at the creek and relaxed in the lovely cabin. We had everything we could possibly need! The owners put so much thoughtful attention into creating such a welcoming and comfortable home. We truly didn’t want to leave, and hope to come back again soon! Thank you for sharing your home with us!

Everyone loved it
We love Ellijay, but haven't visited as a family, or with our dogs, so this was the perfect place. The house had everything we needed, the fenced yard was perfect for the dogs, our youngest was grateful for all the games, and I can't even tell you how much we enjoyed we creek area. It was beautiful and just what we needed for a relaxing but fun Spring Break.

Very secluded cabin near Ellijay GA
Lovely cabin to bring your four legged family members. They loved the dog run and the creek. Absolutely no cell service which was fine for us. WiFI bandwidth was spotty which again was fine for us. We would highly recommend this property.

Can say enough about this property. So off the charts great. Certainly one of the best cabins I’ve ever stayed in. Nothing was missed. If you are looking for a little R&R in a real quiet location this is it. This will be a repeat spot for us for sure.

pure paradise on the creek
This property hit all the items on our wish list...and then some. The peace was only interrupted by the birdsongs and bubbling creek, the above normal temps for the week were met by us spending most of the time next to the creek (seemed 15 degrees cooler) and our dogs ruled this vacation! They had sooooo much fun roaming the woods and fishing with my husband in the creek, while I was in awe of all the nature. We caught trout and partied with fireflies at night next to the campfire. Our host Andrew is amazing (and very funny) Stayed an extra night it was so relaxing. One of the best places we have ever stayed for our summertime vacation in Georgia. We will definitely return to this oasis again!

Awesome Location perfect for pets
The property is the perfect mix of perfect off the beaten path and perfect to all the allure of Ellijay and Blue Ridge. Near Orchards, a perfect stream for swimming the dogs, a mile walk on the gravel road leading to the cabin with hardly ever seeing a vehicle. Perfect in many many ways! And the Host is super nice too! This is our 3rd stay of many to come.

Everything about our stay was wonderful. The cabin was clean and fully stocked. We loved how the fenced in yard was right off the porch. The property was the best part. There is a large grassy area by the creek that is perfect for kids and dogs to run around. Highly recommend! We will be back.

Secluded cabin
Just what we were looking for! Comfort, peace,nature and fishing. Caught 2 Trout on the property and they were delicious. We stayed 4 nights and didn’t feel the need to venture out anywhere. We would definitely stay there again. It’s very dog friendly, large fenced in area and of course the creek to swim in. Thanks to the Rice’s for a beautiful place to visit.

We've been looking for places to stay that are a bit more remote as we enjoy peace and quiet, and that's exactly what we found here. Extremely clean, private, and tranquil! I must have spent hours sitting on the porch listening to the wind through the trees.. and my dog spent hours in the fenced in area sunbathing. Looking forward to coming back.
