    First and foremost, I highly recommend staying at Deals! Riverfront Island! Heather is the best host! If I could have given her more stars, I definitely would Our trip was cut short due to the extreme winter storm. Heather was in touch with us from the time the warning was issued. She wanted to make sure that we were aware of storm coming. She let us know of the items that she had at the house that may come in handy with any snow and possible power outage. She even let us know that if we were unable to checkout at the time/date we were scheduled, she would work with us until it was safe for us to leave. Unfortunately, we decided to leave early so that we would be able to get back home. If I wasn't worried about getting back home safely, I would have loved to be stuck at this cabin. It was absolutely beautiful. She thought of absolutely everything one might need or want while staying here. My daughter and her friend were able to take a short hike. Since we cut our trip short, we didn't get to anywhere in Elijay. I think that I would have been perfectly fine hanging out at the cabin. There are plenty of activities to do at the cabin and the views are absolutely beautiful. I will definitely stay here again.

    This cabin was everything shown and more. We had the BEST time! We loved being right on the river. It was such a relaxing trip. Heather was a great host and was available to answer any questions we had.

    Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home with my family. The stay was so wonderful, we asked to extend our trip an extra night. My husband and I loved sitting on the porch listening to the river. My kids loved the porch swings and the game room! We cooked several meals in the house and had every utensil/appliance/pot/pan you could think of! One of the most well appointed kitchens I have used in a rental. Very convenient to Blue Ridge and Ellijay! Will be coming back!

    The home was clean and had all the amenities one would need. The location was quite and relaxing. There are numerous places to relax and enjoy the surroundings. There are plenty of local restaurants in area and plenty of things to do and see as well. From apple picking to state parks with beautiful views, the area has it all. We were fortunate enough to go the Amicalola falls on Monday morning and had the falls to ourselves. Absolutely amazing. We would definitely come back to this home.
