Great for a girls trip!

The location is perfect for visiting Blue Ridge and Ellijay and just a short drive from the main road. The home had everything we needed to make an unforgettable girls trip a success!

Nice Getaway

My wife and I spent three nights in the middle of July here and it was a great getaway for us. We loved how quiet the area was, especially compared to a hotel, and felt right at home here in no time. It is far enough from Blue Ridge to get out of the main tourist area, but close enough to get wherever we wanted in about 15 minutes. As others have mentioned, the road to the cabin is a private road that is about 1 1/2 lanes wide. So, two cars passing each other requires a little courtesy and squeezing over. Otherwise, the road is paved and completely functional. The transition from the road to the driveway of the cabin is quite steep and I would think a truck or SUV is likely the best option to avoid scraping the ground during the transition. Otherwise, the driveway is easy to drive up due to some ingenious system to retain the gravel, which makes driving up easy.

Awesome!

The weekend at Fishful Thinking was a girls trip with lifetime friends. It was the perfect spot. We each needed time away from families and careers and the trip was very relaxing. Exceeded our expectations. Comfortable beds, sheets, pillows. Snacks provided. Wood for fire pit which was amazing. Everything new and clean. The location was perfect just a short drive to Blue Ridge and also to Elijah. Owners are attentive and responsive looking for ways to enhance our stay. Try it. You won’t regret it!

Fantastic Trip!

We loved everything about this cabin!!!!! If you are looking for a quiet beautiful cozy place to rent, THIS IS IT!!!!! Not to mention how clean it was and everything was labeled!! I cannot speak how highly I would recommend this cabin!!!! It was perfect location! 10 miles from Blue Ridge and Elijah! We visited Dahlonega while we were there and that is a MUST! Also, make reservation for Ferraro’s Italian! Bigfoot Biscuit was heavenly for breakfast and Harvest on Main was great, too! Everything was perfect! Cannot WAIT to go back! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Thanks for sharing your place!!

Delightful Weekend Getaway

This place is the real deal, first and foremost it’s “CLEAN” extremely clean, it was our first time here and we will definitely go back, this place has everything and I mean everything the only items that you will need are toiletries and food everything else is already there and did I mention how clean the place was, you have 3 massive TVs, grill, kitchen is well stocked, phone chargers, blankets, washing pods (clothes/dishes) instructions on how to use everything. I will say this you will have to bring a fire log to start the fire pit outside but the wood is already there, oh and coffee/creamer other than that enjoy your weekend!

Wonderful cabin

We had a wonderful stay at Fishful Thinking. The cabin was very thoughtfully appointed and everything (even the outdoors) was so clean. The road up to the cabin is definitely steep and curvy, but we managed fine even in my mom's mini van. Just be prepared. We arrived at night and the first trip up was definitely an adventure!

Nice stay in North Georgia

We’ve stayed in a lot of cabins throughout the Smokies and north Georgia mountains and Fishful Thinking ranks with the best. Nicely situated and well stocked with thoughtful amenities, this is a sweet little cabin that is conveniently located and just the right size for a quick getaway. Highly recommended!

We loved everything about this cabin! The owners really have put a lot of thought into all the details to make your stay comfortable. It was very clean and perfect for a couples getaway or a place to bring your family. The location is perfect to visit nearby attractions in Blue ridge and Elijay. We will definitely be back!

Beautiful Home

The home was one of the prettiest and cleanest cabins we have ever stayed in. Had everything you would need for a nice stay. Beds were very comfy and the added modern touches like phone chargers and streaming TV were awesome. Fire pit was so nice and appeared to have been professionaly built. Only one complaint; the road to the cabin was super scary in our big truck. Even though it was paved it was very narrow and lots of hairpin turns with very few pull over areas. It would help if the listing would mention something about the road. This would prepare folks and allow them to travel in a more appropriate vehicle. A small SUV would be recomended. Our full size truck had a hard time making some of the turns. Other than the road, the home is wonderful.

Quiet and relaxing outside. Clean and comfortable inside.

You could smell the new wood in this clean cabin as soon as we walked in. The recliners and beds were very comfortable. Unlike where we live, it was very quiet sitting outside with no noise from jet planes, trains, or autos.They had everything we needed for cooking including spices.Looking forward to going back to finish reading their book about trout fishing and actually fishing in a trout stream that I located nearby

Perfect Fathers Day

Our Father's Day weekend at a cabin in North Georgia was wonderfully relaxing and exactly what we needed. The cabin nestled amidst serene woods provided a perfect escape, and fishing at the nearby toccoa river added an extra layer of enjoyment. It was a memorable experience that we'll cherish for years to come.

Clean, adorable, secluded.

We absolutely loved our stay in this cabin! The cabin was spotlessly clean, and there were no stains, fur, or smell as expected with pet-friendly places. The home was well stocked with supplies for bathroom, kitchen, grill, firepit, and pets. All furniture was extremely comfortable. Such a quiet and peaceful place nested on the mountain with no view or noise from surrounding neighbors. The only negative-the drive up would not be suitable for a sedan, but was no problem in my small SUV. Will definitely book again for my next trip to Blue Ridge!
