This home is the perfect location for a family vacation to the Elljay/Blue Ridge area. Very close to many activities and still a quiet area. The owners were in close contact the entire trip and made sure we had everything we needed. We will definitely be back!
Had a wonderful vacation, enjoyed the proximity to the park, dog park and river. Beds were amazingly comfortable, relaxed and bonded with family, very clean comfortable stay and hosts were very responsive. Will definitely be back.
The weekend was very relaxing and enjoyable. Grown children had a great time with games and their own rooms. Kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed and restaurants were close. We look forward to next year and another trip.

This was a great cabin, perfect for 7-8 people. It was beautifully decorated, in a quiet area, and close to Ellijay which has good dining options. My only negative about it is that some of the ac outlets did not work. But other than that we had a wonderful family reunion there.
This place is amazing and slept 8 of us very comfortably. 3 grandparents, 2 parents, and three children. Very beautiful house with great views. The deer are everywhere and very friendly. We enjoyed watching them roam around peacefully. The 2 decks off the back of the house are very large and refreshing with ceiling fans to keep the breeze going. The location to get to is a trek but definitely worth it. The gated community gave us a great sense of security and the amenities are great. Multiple pools, putt-putt, and the arcade were fun to visit. Overall, great place to stay while visiting the northern Georgia area!!
Awesome parking, great layout and decor for all ages with bunk beds to queen beds, 4 great porches to spend tIme with family, perfect location to Ellijay and not too far up the mountain,
lots of deer watching, lots of games, puzzles, etc., for all ages and the loft provides the location for all those activities, awesome fire pit for plenty of seating as well as the fire pit on the porch, owners are super responsive, special cudos for generator to come on during power outages that are so common in the area, easiest check in and out ever experienced at this resort area, lovely walking distance to pool and river (minutes), pet friendly, grandkids LOVED the laundry shute, lots of EXTRAS that most rentals don’t have in the kitchen and throughout the home, and many more.
Our family had a lovely time relaxing together and enjoyed our annual crab and shrimp lowcountry boil. A winning experience!
We have communicated a couple of things they may want to address and the owners said they definitely would for future renters.
The cabin is beautiful and well equipped. Very clean. The owners were responsive to issues that came up during our stay. Definitely look forward to staying again if we are in the area.
My only regret is not staying longer. This place was perfect for all of us couples. The deers kept us entertained while we were outdoors. It was lovely!
Lovely house was clean and tastefully decorated. We very much enjoyed our time. Communication with the host Linda was easy and efficient. We would stay again.
