We had a wonderful stay at this cabin in Ellijay! It was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed — the kitchen was so well stocked. The views from the deck were gorgeous and peaceful, and we loved how close it was to downtown Ellijay for restaurants and shops. Perfect mix of comfort and convenience — we can’t wait to come back!

Absolutely beautiful property. House was clean and ready for us when we arrived. Owner responded quickly when we had an issue with the gate. Our son enjoyed the games upstairs and the kids room. I do wish the secondary bedroom upstairs had a TV, but we ended up just going and buying one. We will definitely return.
