Get away from what ails you in our Secluded Lakeside Pine Cabin with 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms on 12 acres on gated private road near the Cohutta Wilderness. No better place to get isolated than in a country cabin in the woods with a pond! Cast a line in our private fishing pond or muddy your fat tires, hikin’ boots or huntin’ coveralls on some of Georgia’s most beautiful mountain land, nearly at our doorstep.

Pond is stocked with bass, bream, catfish and crappie.


Cabin is situated on big, grassy yard beside fishing pond 10 miles from charming downtown Ellijay. Rent our sturdy canoe for a paddle cruise or fishing tour around the pond. Wind up your pitching arm for a game of corn hole...corn bags and boards provided. Watch the deer graze and turkeys peck from the wrap-around porch. Relax by the campfire while your buddies catch a few fish and throw them back. Bring your football, soccer ball or croquet set ( ) for a game on the grass; come on back in the house to recover in comfort. Listen to the bullfrogs croon on the pond in the evening.

Home has all wood floors, master and full bathroom on main, one bedroom, parlor, additional room and bath upstairs in the loft. Rock fireplace with gas logs in living room invites warm conversation or quality TV time. Yes, we have Satellite TVs in living room and upstairs parlor with lots of channels. And, although we’re in the backwoods, we have wireless fiber Internet, too!

Propane and charcoal grills on porch outside kitchen door.

All linens provided. Full size washer & dryer. Sleeps 6.

Area amenities: Numerous hiking trails in the Cohutta Mountains and wilderness area lead you to the Conasauga River and Lake Conasauga, waterfalls, and massive “Big Poplar,” the second largest tree in North Georgia. Mountain bike on Forest Service roads or contact a nearby outfitter about gearing you up and getting you out. Take a short drive up to Fort Mountain State Park for gorgeous views of the Georgia mountains from the car or trail and marvel at mysterious rock ruins from another age. Drive into Ellijay to get a pizza or dine at one of the unique local restaurants. Discover history, get nostalgic at local antique shops. Plan your fall visit around the apple harvest and the Georgia Apple Festival, 2nd and 3rd weekends in October. Hunt for deer, turkey, bear, feral hogs in the Cohutta Wildlife Management Area or three other WMAs within close range. Go 4-wheeling on trails in the Conasauga section of the Chattahoochee National Forest. Saddle up your horses for rides in the National Forest or at Fort Mountain State Park.

Come on up to the Country. Stay a while in our Secluded Lakeside Pine Cabin!

    Another great stay (our 8th I think). If you're looking for a quiet, relaxing location with beautiful views and trails to hike right outside your door, this is the place.

    The house was very cozy, clean and the fireplace felt so good. We needed the solitude this afforded us. We arrived after dark and had trouble finding the driveway, so I advise a trial run or arrive well before dark.

    We really enjoyed our stay at the cabin. My kids rented this cabin for me for my birthday. The creek was really close we caught some fish. Was there a downside anything. The cabin was really clean and neat. The property manager was easy to talk to and responded rapidly. The pictures online really doesn't do the property any justice. The property is beautiful! Thank you for sharing your cabin. We will definitely visit again.

    The kind of getaway that dreams are made of. Perfect location to unplug, unwind, and find the kind of peace that only nature can offer. Town is not far either, making it the ideal location!

    We were looking for a nice quiet place to rest, relax and fish. The location is nice and quiet and once our initial inquiry was answered, the communication was good. The pond could use more fish but we were able to catch and release. However, there are several things about the house that could make it more pleasurable. 1. The lockbox that houses the key is hard to open2. The lock on the canoe is really difficult and there aren't any seat backs like it shows in the picture.3. The refrigerator definitely needs to be fixed or replaced. It only keeps your food/drinks at a very minimal coolness. I had to throw away several items.4. The shower curtain in the master bath is not attached or secured and just lies on top of the shower door frame.5. The grills are charcoal. Bring your own supplies. There was some charcoal but no lighter fluid.6. There aren't any supplies like aluminum foil, plastic wrap, sandwich baggies, etc.7. There wasn't a hand soap dispenser in the kitchen.8. Be aware of the wooden block that supports the master bedroom bed frame. It can be a real hazard on your toes/foot.9. The living room furniture could definitely be updated.10. There is a musty old smell that goes with the age of the house. Maybe some air fresheners might help.11. The stove takes forever to heat up so I ended up cooking everything on the stovetop.

    This cozy cabin was perfect for our family. It allowed us to disconnect from our busy lives and spend some quality time together. My son and husband loved fishing while I sat outside with them and read. We played games and worked on a puzzle by the fire. Would 100% stay here again.

    The only thing this place has going for them is the location. We were not able to use the upstairs portion of the house due to an Asian lady beatle infestation. Asked for a discount since we couldn’t use 3 of the 4 beds I paid for, and the owner confirmed the house was infested but she insisted they were just ladybugs. Have videos of hundreds of bugs I cleaned up from the upstairs bedrooms. It won’t let me add pictures to this review and the owner insisted she didn’t need to see the proof, but the video is going viral on TikTok. Search for “VRBO lady beatle infestation” My kids were woke by bugs crawling in their beds. I was only refunded the cleaning fee, which I’m sure the owner got back since the cleaners failed to clean the bugs out before we arrived. There were no fish to be caught in the pond. I’m sure the owner will respond with something snarky like “fishing depends on skill” however we are avid fishers with plenty of trophies on our wall, so that is definitely not the case. We never even saw a fish break the surface. Saw where several other renters have said the same. I’m guessing all of the 5 star reviews are from family/friends because there’s no way people are willingly paying to revisit this property. Couches in the living are old and smelly and the recliner needs to be taken to the dump. Owner will probably insist that I’m just looking for a free stay, however that’s not the case. This is my first ever bad review and bad experience with Vrbo.

    We stay at this property a couple times every year. Fantastic location if you're looking to get away from it all. The house is comfortable with a nice gas fireplace and a well stocked kitchen. Nothing better than sitting on the wrap around porch watching the sun rise/set over the pond. We'll definitely be back.

    Overall really enjoyed the stay . Very peaceful and beautiful setting. Far enough from nearest state highway that you never hear a vehicle orher than the Rare local vehicle on the dirt road. Only negative was the mattress in the master bedroom should be replaced and the lockbox is finicky and should be replaced.

    The location is secluded with a stocked pond very close to the house. The house is in excellent condition along with entire grounds, very well maintained. Fishing was enjoyable as was the privacy with peace of mind.
