Thoughtful touches and quiet retreat
Beautiful, quiet cabin. Comfortable beds and nice touches that show the owner clearly went out of their way to ensure our stay was nice. Hit tub was perfect. Grill was amazing. Location was ideal. We wanted to stay longer and will definitely be back again!

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!

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.
