Ellijay, Georgia
Welcome to IttaBena Lodge, which means 'a cabin in the woods' where family and friends meet in Choctaw Indian Language. Situated right on the waters of Mountaintown Creek, one of North Georgia's premier trout streams, this cabin is full of rustic charm and character. Since we are located on a protected trout stream, while fishing on our property... fly fishing, catch and release, barbless hooks and no live bait are part of the house rules.
This authentic log home is located within a gated 45 acre retreat. It is one of only 7 cabins within the boundaries surrounded by nature. It is fully equipped with everything.
You'll find the environment quite enchanting and it is the perfect get-away for a romantic weekend, or a gathering place with family and friends. Enjoy a star filled night by the outdoor firepit directly by the river.

Peaceful!
Beautiful setting. Comfortable cabin. Peaceful surroundings
We had such an amazing time and are already planning a return. Everything was perfect! Very clean, well maintained property with everything we could need. The pictures don’t do the property justice. Outside is so incredibly relaxing! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highly recommend!
This lovely property was situated on the river! Our grandkids enjoyed looking for river creatures, playing in the ankle-knee deep water and running and hiking around the house. S’mores and marshmallows were enjoyed at the firepit and watching tv in the morning downstairs by their room were all their favorite things to do here! Adults enjoyed doing all these things too! The bedrooms had plenty of room and everything you may need. We enjoyed having breakfast and dinner on the big porch. Grandkids made name tags for all the family along with rocks to hold them down ! As you can see families will enjoy this place! And… the gravel roads and houses a long the way didn’t bother us at all Apple Orchards, petting zoos, wineries, playgrounds and restaurants weren’t far away to us! You can find a Dollar General and little grocery/gas station without having to go into town. (Added bonus was having direct tv so you could watch sports etc without having to deal with all those streaming services). Thanks for a nice trip!
Our stay at Ittabena Lodge was very peaceful and relaxing. The cabin was clean and had everything we needed to stay on the property for the entire week if we wanted to. We enjoyed the proximity to the stream and its soothing sounds while we were outside. The balconies offered everyone a place to unwind after a busy day out exploring. We look forward to visiting again one day when in the area.
Lovely cabin and filled with beautiful furnishings. The bathrooms, beds and kitchen were clean. The floors and the porches had to be cleaned before we could use.
We had a wonderful stay at ittabena. The cabin is beautiful and as described. We would consider a stay here again. I will mention the road in and out of the cabin is very winding and narrow. Not ideal if your vacation is going in and out of town several times a day. Thankfully for us we planned a lot of relaxing around the cabin this vacation. Second we wish there was a crockpot. I love not having to cook for dinner on big fussy meal on vacation. We certainly made do with the other available items. The grill was a great option.
The stay at Ittabana cabin is always perfect in every way. You couldn't want for anything. We always can't wait to get there, and can't wait to come back!
Our family had a wonderful time at Ittabena Lodge. Mara was fantastic to work with - she is a gracious host. Her response was quick, friendly, and the directions provided to the location and things to do worked perfectly. The lodge/home is absolutely stunning. We've stayed at around 15 riverfront/waterfront properties in the last few years, and Mara's home is by far our favorite. And omg... The home has the best riverfront view imaginable and you can hear the river from every corner of the home. It was magical.
Everything was as described and more! Easy check in process and great communication with the owners. Highly recommend!
My husband and I had a lovely time with our two boys and my bro and sis-n-law. This cabin was immaculate and so cozy. The attention to detail in all the amenities was amazing! Super nice hot tub, and the grill was amazing!! Clean and new! Our favorite things rotated from hanging in the game room playing ping pong, to sitting out by the river relaxing, and gathering around the fire. We will definitely be using this cabin again for future trips!
We loved our family vacation in the mountains! The hosts were incredibly amazing. The home was the cleanest cabin we have ever stayed in. Just a wonderful experience
Been to Ellijay a few times and this has been our favorite cabin. Cabin is great, furnishings are very nice, beds are comfortable, and setting was awesome. Would definitely book again.
Very good. Isolated. Peaceful and restful.
Beautifully located in the woods for me. River/stream out back is beautiful and we walked it. You could tube it! Cabin was large and perfect for us. Beds were very comfortable. Lots of space, but comfortable at same time. We toured Blue Ridge, right up the road; Helen, GA 1 1/2 hour away; and Rock City in Chatanooga 1 hour and 15 mins away. All were wonderful! Don't be nervous about the drive into the cabin - It looked intimidating to us flat landers. We had a small SUV and a sedan and it was an easy drive.
Not only was the house filled with everything one might need for a week getaway in the mountains but it is so conveniently located to the river. There was great access so everyone could be together whether they wanted to be in the water or just enjoying a camp fire on the edge. Such a great trip.
The cabin has the most beautiful backyard with a huge creek running through the back. Our family spent time in the creek and eating and relaxing on the many porches. We enjoyed a nearby vineyard, hiking, horseback riding and shopping and eating out in the quaint downtown.
Second time staying here, absolutely love it! Perfect weather, went tubing this time, had a blast. Love the cabin! Perfect for our family. Hope to make Ittabena a yearly destination.
Very nice property in very clean. Great amenities
Don’t hesitate to book this beautiful cabin! Clean, check in was easy, and had everything you needed from towels to kitchen supplies.
Lovely weekend for Mother’s Day. We enjoyed the fire pit, particularly. Wonderful house for a quiet weekend with sounds of the river.
We are looking to do another work retreat and everyone on the team asked if we could stay here again. It was perfect
We just love staying at this cabin! We have vacationed here many times over the years and have always had a wonderful time! The fire pit by the river is our favorite spot! Ellijay is Amazing and Wally and Mara are wonderful hosts! Thank you for everything! Will be back soon! Stacey and Cal
This cabin is just perfect and has fantastic views of the river!
