Awesome cabin

The Gold Finch cabin is a great place to stay for peace and quiet! The birds were all over the place along with several deer, chipmunks, squirrels! It was very clean and all the amenities along with a fully stocked kitchen! It was perfectly located in the mountains but only 18 miles from downtown Ellijay where there are great restaurants and shopping. We will definitely be going to that area either to vacation again or move to permanently! Highly recommend this cabin if you are looking for something tranquil!

It is a lovely secluded cabin! It was so clean and welcoming and the communication with the owners (Victor) was excellent. We went for a short get away weekend for some peace and quiet and this cabin delivered very well. As the owners indicated, it is off the beaten path (very accessible by car) and we did bring in the basics for breakfasts and dinners plus supplemented from our outing on Saturday. We were able to visit downtown Cartersville with small local business shops and dining, but could have as easily gone to Ellijay or Blue Ridge. Jasper is the closet town and we stopped at the grocery store there for supplies before heading to the cabin on Friday. The kitchen is well stocked with all the basics plus the toiletries in the bathroom were appreciated. Both the husband and I had a wonderful time and recommend this cabin if you want a good get away place to stay.

Great Cabin

This was an excellent cabin, especially for a couple. Extremely well stocked and furnished. Internet and WiFi were great until weather showed up, of which no one has control. It was quiet and in a week we only saw people twice. Especially loved the candy jar. Will say I wish there was a better way to get into the cabin other than the 25 stairs but I don’t see how it could have been built any different. We loved our time there.
