Ellijay Mountain Spa Cabin | Sauna, Hot Tub & Fire Pit | 2 Mi to Carters Lake

The space is stunning, with beautiful details that made it feel both cozy and special... we felt completely tucked away from the rest of the world. That's what a guest said about Onyx Ridge, our modern cabin in the woods outside Ellijay. Your mornings start on our porch swing bed; your evenings move to the spa deck, sauna warming, hot tub steaming, fire pit glowing under string lights. Sleeps six across two king rooms and a queen. Cornhole and horseshoes on our grounds, Carters Lake 2 miles out, downtown Ellijay 10.

A few minutes from Carters Lake and the Tumbling Waters trailhead, our cabin was built for girls' trips, family weekends, and couples who came to slow down. The spa deck holds a cedar sauna and a covered hot tub, and the fire pit sits out front under string lights. A morning on the trail and an evening in the sauna make an easy day of it.

The great room brings the kitchen, dining table, and living room together under a vaulted wood ceiling, with a stone fireplace at the center. The first bedroom is the primary, a king under a vaulted ceiling of its own; the second holds a king, and the third a queen. Six guests, three real beds, three doors that close.

The back deck runs the length of our home, set up for evenings outside with a gas grill, dining for six, an outdoor fireplace, and a mounted TV for the game while dinner cooks. Below, the covered hot tub and cedar sauna face straight into the trees. Out front, the fire pit sits in its own clearing under string lights, and the porch holds a swinging bed and an egg chair that catch the sunset.
