This was a perfect last minute weekend away to relax. The house is a nice quiet cabin in the woods but you are still close to downtown Ellijay for shopping and dining, it was great!

This was the perfect mountain getaway! We stayed here with our pups after we got married in Ellijay and it was so peaceful and relaxing. We loved how quiet it was and spending time on the screened in porch with our morning coffee! It got a little chilly in the morning and the gas fireplace was so cozy! The bed was so comfortable and the blackout shades were a nice touch. The host, Maria, is so responsive and friendly! She consistently checked in and ensured our stay was nothing less than perfect! We loved our time in her cabin and hope to be back!

Marie was a wonderful host! She has done a beautiful job decorating this cute 2 bedroom cottage. She was able to offer helpful tips to help us make the most of our little getaway! The swings on the porch are so nice! Make sure to catch sunset from the swings or the hot tub! Our dogs had the best time in this dog friendly cabin! Marie even left toys for our dogs! This cabin is a must see!

We loved this little cabin getaway! Perfect for a long weekend trip. The bed was so comfortable, and the kitchen had everything we needed to dine-in both nights. Don’t forget about the outside seating area downstairs around the back! We loved sipping our morning coffees out there. And of course, don’t forget to soak in the hot tub. (More towels in the laundry closet) The host was very responsive and was able to accommodate an early check in, and late check out! The trip to nearby Amicalola Falls is definitely worth the short drive, and downtown Ellijay has some great restaurants and shops. Would definitely stay here again!!

It was cold the first 2 days we were there so the gas fireplace and he heat fan in the bathroom were a plus! Very comfortable furniture, especially the bed, and a secluded location at the top of a hill looking down into the valley. The town of Elijay has some very cool bars and restaurants as well as Blue Ridge. We ate at The Falls at Blue Ridge which I would highly recommend for a fine dining experience. Roo Mountain Winery is a must visit vineyard nearby. Overall, it was a fantastic anniversary getaway!
