Mountain Getaway
We had a very enjoyable stay at the cabin! The front porch and listening to the sound of the river was very relaxing.. Everything went smoothly throughout the trip. The ride to the cabin was winding and very interesting, but both our jeep and truck made the trek nicely.. The deer were fun to feed!

Clean and Comfortable
Great host; proactive, informative, and responsive. The property was very clean and comfortable with nice bedding and furniture. (This seems unnecessary to say but we have experienced rentals with unusable/painful to use furniture.) Well-stocked with all the necessities plus nice touches with little extras. The neighborhood was beautiful but a little far from the main fairway adding a little extra time to our explorations. The driveway is difficult even with all-wheel drive, enduro motorcycles, and experienced drivers/riders. Overall, wonderful experience and we would stay there again!

Wonderful Stay
My colleague and I needed a few days to get away so that we could focus on our dissertation work. This cabin was a perfect getaway-- it offered all the amenities we needed, especially in the kitchen. Whenever we needed a quick brain break, we had the option of going to the rec center (with basic gym equipment) or going on a walk to feed the friendly deer. Admittedly, the deer was the best part of the trip. WARNING: Be cautious about parking on the upper level; I'd recommend parking on the lower deck to be on the safe-end. One of our cars got stuck on the hill and when we reached out to Ryan, he was so quick to respond and send for help. This was during the few days leading up to Christmas so we were worried we would not be able to get anybody out, but the issue quickly got resolved within the hour. Overall, this was a super family-friendly place. They have board games for kids, a relaxing patio and fireplace, and even separate thermostats for the rooms upstairs/downstairs. We would definitely love to come back again!

Beautiful cabin and surroundings
Cabin is beautiful and well furnished. It was quite comfortable and roomy. Games available for all ages. Ryan was very quick to answer questions and help us when we needed it. Ellijay is a quaint town worth visiting. We were unaware the lower level was not available and therefore you either had to make it up the steep driveway or you had to walk up the path to get into the cabin. Either way, I would not rent this cabin if you don’t have a 4 wheel drive. Roads are as expected, narrow and winding but mostly paved EXCEPT Parker Way which is the only road that connects to the road the cabin sits on. That road is 1 lane, very narrow and winding. We met a delivery truck one trip and fortunately the driver was close to the only driveway and pulled into it to let us pass. Then when leaving at the end of our vaca, we met a cement truck and had to back down the narrow, winding road until we got all the way back to the entrance of the cabin road to let it pass! We loved the cabin, would have loved it more if it’d been on a different location.

Really enjoyed our time at this lovely cabin. The beds are super comfortable, linens super soft and comfy- slept like a baby! Deer are everywhere throughout this HUGE neighborhood. The sound of the river across the street is soothing. Enjoyed the deck with fire pit. Driveway to the cabin is a little steep for flat land Floridians but doable with a regular vehicle. Plenty of awesome hikes in the area. Ellijay is a cute little town. Blue ridge is also very nice. Communication with the owner was always quick and easy! Thanks for sharing your lovely cabin.

Beautiful cabin in the woods
We enjoyed our stay at this beautiful, well-equipped home! We spent many nights on the porch watching the fireflies, deer and listening to the river! Did I mention the deer?!? Soooooooo many deer and at all times of the day! We found ourselves feeding them and running to the store to buy more food for them… which is probably why they kept coming back! There are many amenities available in the neighborhood- we enjoyed the indoor pool, outdoor pool and even the river! The location is convenient to many local activities, wineries and nearby towns like blueridge! Would definitely go back!
