Due to the cozy size of the Cabin, we can comfortably accommodate up to two small dogs. If you're planning to bring a larger dog, we kindly ask that you reach out for prior approval so we can ensure the space will work well for everyone.
Additionally, we humbly request that your furry friends stay off the furniture and beds to help us maintain the Cabin's charm and cleanliness for all guests.

***Supplies
The kitchen is fully equipped; stainless steel appliances (Refrigerator, Electric Stove w/Oven, Microwave and Dishwasher), 2 Coffee makers (Mr. Coffee for ground coffee and a Keurig for coffee pods), electric kettle, toaster, dishes, glassware, utensils, cutlery, pots, and pans.
Linens for each bed (Extras available if needed), 2-bath towels, 1-hand towel, 1-washcloth per person listed on the guest list; Spacious closet on each bedroom for clothing storage, central heat & air, washer/dryer, vacuum and broom and dust pan, Internet and 2 propane grills.
In addition we provide a complimentary start-up supplies of: Toilet Tissue (2 rolls per bathroom), Paper Towels, (1 roll), Garbage Bags (2-3 bags) , Dishwasher and Laundry Detergent and Dish Washing Soap.
Before heading up onto the Cabin, we suggest stopping by Walmart, Ingles or any of Ellijay's local (grocery) stores for food items, ice bags, beverages, any special condiments and firewood.

***The drive up the mountain to the Cabin.
The drive to "A Rustic Hideout" is certainly an exciting off-road experience! The final 3 miles up the mountain will take you on an adventurous scenic drive through typical mountain gravel / dirt roads with a few bumpy sections and steep climbs thrown in the mix. But don't worry - it's an easily doable drive with steady driving, preferably on low gear, as is the case with any mountain roads. Enjoy the views along the way and get ready for a relaxing and unforgettable stay in the mountains.

It is important to note that the road may require inclement weather precautions: A 4WD/AWD vehicle is highly recommended in case of heavy rains, snow, ice, or after dark (in case one has to make a stop along the way). Under normal road conditions, a vehicle with good ground clearance would be good enough. Steady driving on low-gear is always the key when driving on gravel roads, regardless of road conditions or vehicle type. We will provide turn-by-turn driving instructions for the final 3 miles, pointing out landmarks, bumpy sections, sharp bends e.t.c.

***EV Charging
Level 1 charging is possible at the Cabin from a standard outlet right on the porch. Please bring your own charging cable.

The host was amazing. Very proactive communication and was very helpful. The cabin was a nice setup for my wife, my elderly parents and our two small dogs. If there will be any strong rains or snow you will need an 4WD/ AWD. My Subaru Outback had no issues.

Great stay!

The cabin was wonderful! The power was out when we got there but Marilyn communicated to us before we even go there and the generator provided power to enough of the house to be able to make it work until the power was back on the next morning. We really loved playing scrabble and scattergories (both at the cabin) on the swinging daybeds on the lower deck. We even saw a little armadillo trekking down the mountain one night. Highly recommend! Great host and amazing place to stay :)

4x4/AWD Recommended!

It's buried in the fine print of the property details, but a 4x4/AWD is recommended for a reason. I didn't read that far into the listing before booking it. I wish they had put that at the beginning of the listing because I wouldn't have booked it if I had known what we were in for. I've done a fair amount of off-roading in 4x4s, 2x4s, motorcycles, etc. and this was a challenge in a 2x4. We were slipping and sliding up the hills. It rained one of the days we were there and we felt stuck in the cabin because, though we could have gotten down the mountain safely, we couldn't have gotten back up it in the mud. There are no guardrails on the roads either. They say it's part of the adventure, but I wanted a relaxing weekend, not an adventure.Once we eventually got to the cabin, it was nice enough. They have a covered hot-tub, which I really liked, but it was set to 80 degrees F. It took several hours to get up to 100, where we like it. We were unable to use it the first day, like I was looking forward to doing after that drive!Their internet service had a few hicups, but nothing major. Verizon reception was good. The power never went out, but I saw what I think was a generator for when it does. Very nice! The smart TVs were nice, but you have to log in with your own info. No services (Netflix, Paramount, etc.) were included. There were some free, Sling channels with ads available, but we grew tired of watching the Dog Whisperer after a few episodes.

Always good to get away from it all.

The property is exactly as it looks in the pictures. Having two seperate king suites with their own bathroom was ideal. All 3 TV's have apps installed so all you need to do is log in with your own information. The Wi-Fi was strong and supported all use. The kitchen was very well stocked with everything needed. When we arrived there was already some ice made in the freezer. The fireplace is as simple as turn on and off with a remote. The temp was very easy to set with a Nest Thermostat. Having two seperate balcony's is a nice touch. The top balcony can only be reached from the interior of the cabin. On that balcony is the hot tub, chairs, and a gas grill. Tub was 100 degrees plus. Gas grill was clean and worked well. View is amazing. The only way to reach the balcony below is by walking on the side of the cabin down. On that balcony are two large swinging chairs/beds and a bar. There is a set of stairs down to the firepit from this balcony. The firepit can also be reached by walking around the other side of the cabin. When we arrived their was some wood already stacked on a wall. Our host Marilyn was very easy to deal and communicated with us often. We had read many comments saying you will need a 4x4 to get to the cabin. We went in April with a Chevy Traverse and had no issues. It was both dry and rainy during our visit. Stick to the directions given and go slow in low gear. As they say, getting there is part of the adventure. We will be back.

Quiet relaxing place to stay high in the mountains

There were 4 traveling for a few days of R&R. The trip up the mountain was a little rough but we managed with a 4 wheel drive. The kitchen had adequate table ware, and coffee pot. We cooked most days using the grill and stove.We had windy days, so we didn't get to use the firepit. If you are looking to have a peaceful relaxing week at a cabin, this is the place. We went several places to hike while we were there so we made trips up and down the mountain several times (20 minutes each way). We enjoyed the stay and Marilyn was very accommodating. Place was clean and plenty of room for 4 adults (separate bedrooms with ensuites was great). Very little traffic comes up as far as we were. Beautiful sunrise and sunsets. I am sure in the Fall it is beautiful with the changing of the leaves. We were there in mid-April.
