This Cabin is conveniently located just minutes (4 miles) from downtown Ellijay and the Apple Festival, yet it feels like it’s miles from civilization. It is a 4+ bedroom, 3 ½ bathroom cabin in the woods, just steps away from a beautiful trophy trout stream that can be heard throughout the property and house. Native Americans once thrived in this area and considered the rivers sacred.

The Master-on-main has a brand new pillow-top king sized mattress, a sitting area with aflat screen TV, and a large bathroom with separate shower and Jacuzzi tub for two. It opens up to both the front stone patio and back deck overlooking the river through French doors.

A second bedroom on the lower level features a queen sized bed with an organic cotton high-end Sealy pillow-top mattress. There is a great view of the river and this room has it's own separate patio area. The full bathroom with shower/bathtub combo is adjacent.

Upstairs is a cute loft that overlooks the dining room and fireplace. There is a computer nook with desk and a king sized mattress that can sleep one or two. Perfect for reading a book or taking a nap.

A third bedroom upstairs overlooks the river and has a brand new queen sized bed. The private outdoor deck accessible through sliding glass doors is a great place to enjoy morning coffee. The full bathroom with shower is adjacent.

The fourth bedroom is a very large suite that features a private half-bath and a separate deck overlooking the front of the property. There are three full sized bunk beds plus two additional twin sized beds that each have pull-out twin sized trundle beds. There is a sitting area as well. This room can sleep 7-10 people. Great room for all the kids!

All linens and towels are clean and white.

The Kitchen has stainless appliances, including new stainless steel Samsung refrigerator, four-top gas range, double oven, and a dishwasher. There is a microwave, a brand new Keurig coffee maker, Cuisinart coffee maker with coffee pot, a toaster, a griddle, and many other appliances/devices. The kitchen has recently been remodeled with granite countertops with a bar that can seat up to 4 people on barstools.

There is a 10+ person dining table in the dining room, plus up to 4 at the inside kitchen bar, plus a second table in the living room that can seat 2-4. The live-edge bar (seats13+) overlooking the water on the covered porch next to the XL360 grill is a huge hit for everyone and all meals! Plenty of seating for everybody.

This house can easily accommodate large parties or families. It would be perfect for large groups or retreats. There is plenty of room for parking as well.

    We had a great relaxing time, doing puzzles, having family meals, hanging out in the river, exploring the trails. Was great to be able to bring the dogs for a change. Only cleaning issues was due to the previous renters dogs, but we cleaned that all up nothing with the actual home! They had everything we needed though we brought supplies because we were staying so long with so many people and we didn't want to run out.

    We had 16 people for two friends’ birthday. We played a fun murder mystery, lounged by the river and fire pit, cooked great group meals including on the outside grill, and just layed around the couches on a rainy day. 10/10.

    Two bedrooms did not have TVs and we ran out of propane in the grill. Other than that it was an enjoyable day for everyone.

    Our family had a great time at The Lodge! We really enjoyed the creek being right at the cabin! Owner was awesome! A bear did show up so that was exciting. Beautiful landscaping around the whole property!

    House and property are in a great location - ample parking, close to town and restaurants. Listing should be updated to not include a spa as an amenity. A note of caution about reserving kayaks - even with a confirmation of availability, check again before arrival. Also, the unsubstantiated accusation of early arrival will be addressed with VRBO.

    Home was neat and clean. Had fun catching fish and playing in the stream and at the waters edge. Ended our days of fun at the fire pit with s’mores. Had a great evening at the Ellijay American Legion Post. Also, enjoyed playing pickle ball at the rec area in Ellijay.

    We had a group of 19 men and we were blown away by having the stream right out the back door, with the decks bar overlooking the water and the firepit along the waters edge! the kitchen had everything and having the bunk room allowed us to house so many! The owner was sooo helpful and provided us with everything we need and always promptly responded when we reached out! We couldn't recommend this place more! ?❤️
