    We had another great trip to Ellijay mostly in part to this great VRBO property- we love the creek, the fire pit, the fishing pond, all the space and privacy, the adorable cabin with all the comforts or home, the arcade & foosball table- it’s just so EASY to have a nice relaxing vacation here. Already booked for next year! Keep up the great work- we appreciate it!!

    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the cabin, we found it just as described and very clean and hardly even a bug to be found the whole time we were there. The cabin is quiet, cozy, & comfortable, and we were pleasantly surprised how easy it was to get to both Blue Ridge and downtown Ellijay from it due to how the roads are set up there. The cabin is very nicely equipped for a families and the yard is spectacular for kids who love outdoors.

    We absolutely loved our stay—everything about the property was exactly as described and even exceeded our expectations! Between hiking, fishing, and enjoying evenings around the fire pit, we had a wonderful time. The rock painting activity was such a charming and thoughtful touch, and having fishing poles and gear provided was an unexpected bonus. There’s so much to explore nearby, but our only regret was not spending even more time relaxing “at home.”During our stay, a substantial storm passed through one evening, briefly knocking out power, but thanks to the generator, we barely even noticed. We’ve stayed in the area annually for over 10 years, and this is easily one of the best places we’ve visited—I’d highly recommend it to anyone. We only wish we’d booked sooner!A perfect 10/10 experience—thank you for everything! We’ll definitely be back.

    This cabin was so magical. It was in the best location to everything from hiking to shopping! The property had everything and more! The kids absolutely loved the Wii gaming system on cold mornings and catching fish in the pond! It was so nice to be able to hike from the cabin. The power even went out one day and the whole house.generator came in handy! We were so sad to leave but already booked our stay here for next year!

    A gem! We had a wonderful winter weekend getaway with family at this cabin, and everyone raved about how peaceful and lovely this cabin and property were. The kids loved the arcade game and running around outside, and they've already asked when we can go back :) The layout was perfect for us and it had everything we needed. We loved the creek view and firepit and even saw deer outside one morning. Thank you!

    It was great to get a break from the hectic holiday feeling and just relax in a little slice of heaven. The views were amazing and no need to leave. Our family will be back.

    My children (5 & 3) literally cried as we left today. We had a blast. If this place had had an apple orchard and cidery, we would have never left lol. We had so much fun playing in the creek, fishing in the pond, exploring up the little creek, roasting marshmallows around the fire, playing baseball on the big lawn, and old school videogames upstairs! The seclusion and sound of the creek babbling by were amazing. So many useful comforts of home too that made for an easy stay! Thank you so much and we can’t wait to come back! :)

    This really is a fantastic cabin! It's clean, comfortable, and spacious. Great kitchen to cook meals in. We made a fire in the fire pit outside and roasted marshmallows every evening. My kids loved fishing in the pond. The best was playing in the creek! The cabin is even filled with toys and games, which was an unexpected bonus. We had a great time and hope to return!
