Your Get Away in Ellijay- River Resort w/ Hot Tub!

Overall the cabin was very nice, there was a hiccup with the cabin code and check in process that was resolved after some back and forth with the host, and there was a minor appliance issue that the host was also prompt to address. I wouldn't think either of those will be repeat issues. Our family enjoyed many games of pool and spending mornings and evenings on the balconies, there were plenty of deer hanging out around the area so just take the road slow and enjoy the drive to and from the property :)Our family would return to stay here again

Our family enjoyed it very much

We rented this cabin to celebrate my husband’s 70th birthday with our family, including our four daughters and two sons-in-law, so it was meant to be a very special weekend. Unfortunately, the experience was stressful even before we arrived.The verification process required uploading my driver’s license and completing facial recognition. I tried more than six times, but the system kept rejecting it even though I could see the upload. I contacted them multiple times and eventually was told to text my ID, which I did. They replied “thank you,” so I assumed everything was resolved.When we arrived late Friday after a long drive, the gate security struggled to find our reservation, delaying our entry. The cabin is also located far inside the resort on narrow, winding roads.The biggest problem was that we never received the entry code for the cabin. Cell reception was poor and the property manager could not be reached. Even VRBO support had difficulty contacting them. Luckily one of my daughters noticed a back door unlocked, which is how we got inside.The property also did not match the photos well and felt dated. The outdoor furniture had stains, the fireplace was full of ash, and the firewood shown in the listing was not there.We never received the entry code during the stay, so we couldn’t lock the cabin if we left. I rarely leave negative reviews, but this experience was very disappointing.

Host was very welcoming and the place was very nice.

Over all the Cabin was on top of the Mountain and beautiful setting, In door and out. Outdoor fireplace was spectacular. Some problems arose with the Cooling & Heat on the Main Floor but these things happen and notto overshadow the overall experience of the Cabin and Location.

The place was AMAZING! Beautifully decorated, spacious, clean, and cozy! I would 100% stay here again and recommend it to others. We go to Ellijay every fall for obvious reasons! I will be keeping this booking in my records for our stays in the years to come! The downstairs area was absolutely perfect for little ones who need entertainment, as well as adults who enjoy playing pool, relaxing in the hot tub, or playing board games. The location of the property was very nice! Being the last house on the road gave tons of privacy and more nature to look upon. The leaves were changing beautifully and the massive windows made for a beautiful view. Definitely my favorite stay yet in Ellijay!

The cabin has potential to be very nice but it needs some TLC. Someone should have come and inspected the cabin before we checked in as it did not appear to be all that clean. Bathrooms were ok but it just did not have the feeling it had been freshened up before we checked in. The kitchen is in desperate need of good cookware, toaster oven did not work, the refrigerator had not been cleaned and the freezer was dirty and ice was accumulating in a frost free appliance. The decks were full of spider webs with huge spiders in them. We had to call to ask for someone to come get them down so we could enjoy the outside. However the person who came out was the QC manager and he used a stick from the woods to get some of them down. They were everywhere. Around light fixtures, railings, chairs etc. he also sprayed some pest control spray. Unfortunately he wasn’t able to get to all of the webs. The screened in porch would have been nice to sit but the cushions were dirty, the furniture had spider webs all over it, the fireplace had not been swept-ashes were still in the grate and around the fireplace,the floor was full of leaves and dirt and the overhead light fixture was so dim because it was full of bugs and looked like it had not been cleaned for years. We didn’t use the hot tub because we were worried when the last time it was cleaned. The fire pit area was not cleaned and the chairs were filthy. The pictures on VRBO are awesome but the cabin does not live up to what you see.

This was an absolutely stunning property inside and out. We came for a birthday weekend for several family members, and were thrilled with our overall experience. The bedrooms had plenty of space and comfortable beds. The linens were fresh and smelled wonderful. Everyone loved the game room and spent hours together playing pool. The hot tub was well maintained and the perfect addition. There is a beautiful view from the deck and we loved spending time outside. We brought one dog and were excited to see pet bowls and toys available.The firepit area is perfect for a large group, and it was easy to pick up firewood at a nearby location. We noticed a small issue with a fridge leak that was immediately adressed by the owners/rental company. Their prompt communication was very much appreciated!The grill could probably be replaced, as the inside gas elements were worn and broken. Overall, it was still able to be used, it just took a bit longer to cook our food. If you're looking for a large place with plenty of space for family and friends, this is definitely the canin to rent! You can't beat the location, comfort, and communication of the company!

We enjoyed our weekend trip with family to Ellijay. This house was the perfect fit for us. Plenty of beds and space to enjoy a nice weekend together. The Coosawattee River community is a beautiful place! Just wish the weather was prettier so we could have gotten outside a little more. We would definitely come back again.

Overall, the home is comfortable with beautiful views. Just big enough for 8 people. Hot tub was great at the end of the day. There were some bugs throughout the home that we saw upon check in, some alive and others not, but expected in the setting. Nbd. It is close to downtown, orchards, vineyards etc and a good location. Cons: the home is managed by a property company that has poor and slow communication on VRBO. I would ask 3-4 questions and they would respond answering one question. It was so frustrating going back and forth with the same questions. It’s not until the day before check-in that you get access to being able to text the hosts directly, which was much quicker and they were nice and accommodating. The basement bedroom was very warm despite increasing the AC. There’s only one vent and it wasn’t bringing much airflow down there. The beds could be more comfortable (very firm) and have an oddly elevated height, something to keep in mind for elderly, children, etc. A step stool would be helpful. Finally, the property guide pdf had so many instructions for cleaning prior to checkout. Why are you charging over $500 in cleaning/host fees if you’re making the visitor do so much? We always leave it as clean as possible but asking for that much to be done before 10am is kind of ridiculous. Overall, it’s a really great home in a peaceful setting.

Wonderful and relaxing location!
