Exclusive private mountain and lake vacation in the Cohutta wilderness

Stunning private mountain and private lake retreat nestled in the north GA mountains, surrounded by the Cohutta Wilderness Wildlife Management Area.
Just fully renovated, this lovely western style cabin boasts all the amenities and luxuries you would expect from the best resorts and properties, but also extremely private. This 4 bedroom, 3 full and 2 1/2 baths, home is nestled on a mountain overlooking a 7-acre private lake, mountain views and the sounds of the Mountain Town Creek rushing past your open doors and sprawling decks. Enjoy quiet sunsets on the lower flagstone patio and fire-pit area. Cook your meals on the Green Egg or large stainless steel grill at the outdoor kitchen area, just off the upper deck. Stroll down to the lake and enjoy the abundance of wildlife including the occasional bald eagle, or take one of the kayaks and a fishing pole where you can catch trout, bass, and brim.
If you are a nature lover or mountain bike enthusiast, the entire property (7-acres) is surrounded by the 100,000 acres Cohutta Wilderness Management Area. You can hike the Mountain Town Creek trail (about 7 miles) up to Doublehead Gap, the whole way following and crisscrossing Mountain Town Creek, which is full of native brook and rainbow trout. You may see black bear, wild turkey, deer, and many numerous bird species.
The home is located approximately 15-20 minutes from the cute and historic town of Ellijay, where you will find antique shops, restaurants, coffee shops, and other interesting destinations.

Secluded and spacious cabin for family get together was great!
Cabin was secluded yet easy to get to. Lots of room for six adults and 3 children. Large, well stocked kitchen and large dining table for family meals. Three bedrooms with full bathrooms and two powder rooms. Outdoor area with firepit and flagstone patio were enjoyed by all!

EXTREME MISREPRESENTATION-AWFUL EXPERIENCE
For over 5 years, we rent from VRBO 2 times a year and both times we go to the mountains. Either North Carolina or Georgia. This was BY FAR the WORST experience. Let me use the host's description and explain. "Just fully renovated" and "Cabin boasts all of the amenities and luxuries you would expect from the best resorts" But this is what you get: There was OPEN food in the refrigerator, freezer and cabinets. A red rubber band holding the kitchen faucet together; NO ELECTRICITY in one of the bedrooms; master shower faucet doesn't function properly (his handyman had to come us show us the "trick" to get the proper water temperature); spackling in over a dozen areas on the walls; no screens on the windows, keeping us from enjoying the cool mountain air; only one toilet paper holder in five bathrooms; refrigerator ice maker doesn't work; microwave didn't work; no hair dryer; no iron/ironing board; and one wine glass. Sheets in the master were cheap polyester and the towels are all mismatched. No bathroom floor mats. The pot holders in the kitchen had DRIED FOOD stuck on them. "Mountain views and the sounds of the Mountain Town Creek rushing past your open doors". You cannot see mountains at all because it sits in the valley and the trees are dense. There are no sounds of the town creek unless you hike to the dam above the lake. And if you open your doors, bugs and critters come in. Again, there are no screens on the windows at all so you can't hear any part of nature unless you sit outside. Which, when we arrived the deck and furniture was covered in pollen. I washed the deck and furniture down myself. "Stroll down to the lake."...His property has lake frontage, but you cannot access the lake from his property. I don't know what he considers a "stroll" but it is just shy of 500 YARDS (we mapped it) and it's a HIKE down the steep gravel driveway, then to a steep gravel road, across a dam (which is where the nice photo of the lake was taken--so that is NOT your view from the property), onto some else's private property-basically trespassing. "take one of the kayaks and fishing pole". There was ONE kayak and it was in bad shape. He promised to have "two brand new kayaks" delivered within 2 days and that never happened. There is a canoe but no oars or life vests. We tried for 6 days to get solutions-- no avail and left 25 days early. This was by far the absolute worst experience we have ever had. He should ashamed.

This was a beautiful house and property for our family to get away. Remote destination with all the comforts of home. Chuck was a very attentive host and was available to answer all our questions. Our family will return again in the near future.

Chuck's spot in the wilderness is amazing!! So many adventures just out the door!
Chuck was an amazing host and even shared a golf cart and fishing tips and gear! And being a small world, we found out we had hometown connections! Rent and I promise you will not be disappointed!

Perfectly secluded
This was a beautiful place to catch up with friends, have the young boys play inside and out, go hiking on and off trail, and have all the amenities available to have a very comfortable vacation. Thank you for letting us make your home our 'home away from home'. We even got snow the last night and had a beautiful winter wonderland when we woke up. :) You won't be disappointed staying here! Thank you Chuck!

Winter Getaway
We spent 3 nights at Chuck's place & completely enjoyed the house & property! The trek up to the house from the paved road is 1.5 mi on a gravel road that was well maintained in December, '21. We took my full size 2WD truck & had no problem, but I wouldn't attempt it in a standard car. Chuck was just leaving as we arrived. He was very friendly & accommodating and left extras for smores, a couple bottles of wine & a fully stocked kitchen! We didn't intend on using the lake but did take a hike down to see it. Looks like it's really nice in summer. We enjoyed sitting outside, listening to the stream below from the large porch. We had a fire in the pit the second night we were there and it was wonderful! Like Chuck said, don't try to use a GPS! I have an updated Garmin, it got us close, but still wasn't correct. This place is off the grid...literally! We hope to return in the summer with my in-laws to fully enjoy the beautiful property in the Georgia wilderness! Thanks Chuck! The Robison's

Our family of 10 stayed here for Christmas and it was amazing. The cabin was stocked with everything you could possibly need for your stay. Mr. Glen, the host, was absolutely amazing. I would strongly suggest that you print your directions out before coming, because the GPS will get you turned around. Other than that, this place is wonderful.

Nice getaway
Nice, well stocked, secluded cabin. Mr. Glenn was very responsive and very friendly. Two families shared this cabin and there was plenty of room for all 7 of us. Lots of hiking and fishing right near the cabin. A few things for planning purposes. The cabin is 29 minutes from the nearest town but there is a dollar general and gas station about 20 minutes towards town. The internet is pretty slow which is also needed for the TV. We really enjoyed our time at the cabin. Thank you Glenn family we appreciated you opening your home to us.

Great Experience!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! This was our first time staying in North Georgia. The scenery was beautiful, especially the leaves changing colors. The cabin is perfect for a large family. We appreciated all of the amenities. Can’t wait to come back with our boys! Thanks again

Incredible Hidden Gem
We loved our stay at this property and can't wait to return. It's inside a gated community that borders the Cohutta Wilderness Area and allowed for some awesome exploring--trails, the creek, the lake, etc. We fished, kayaked, canoed, swam, floated in tubes, used the firepit, collected wildflowers, spotted turkeys and deer, and enjoyed the perfect weather. The Bear Creek Trail is very close to this property and we hiked it to see Gennett Poplar, the second largest tree in Georgia. We caught brim and bass in the lake. The house is so warm and welcoming; the owners even left bottled waters and snacks for us to enjoy. There was plenty of room for us (a family of 5) to spread out. The kids loved the 4-bed bunk room and having their "own TV room" downstairs. It was clean and bright and spacious. I can't say enough-we loved it!
