About this property
Entire place
You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.
Private River Cabin with Playground, Fishing, Mountain View, Hot tub
If you want a true mountain get away experience while still in luxury this is the place. This is not just any old house placed in the mountains. This is a HUGE A Frame cabin converted in to a luxury mountain escape. The house is loaded with authentic experiences such as fallen trees from the property placed inside that actually hold the house up and spiral staircases fabricated onsite from the same trees. Most of the furniture was made locally and the floors are cut at a local saw mill with the old fashion circular saw leaving beautiful character behind. In addition to the comfortable mountain experience the house is loaded with Luxuries. The kitchen has brand new professional appliances and stocked with every item you would need to serve a 5 course dinner or quickly make a simple P&J sandwich. The bathrooms are truly like going to a spa. There are marble shower walls, over sized soaking tubs and all high end fixtures with rain can showers throughout. Firewood provided seasonally. Playground outside for the kids. No pets allowed. Free wifi.
We have 3 other cabins close by. Check them out on VRBO as well, #233335, 3264751 and 120551. All 3 of these other cabins are next door to each other.

Spring Break 2025
This is the second time we’ve stayed at this house, and we had a blast. We enjoyed going to downtown Ellijay and then eating dinner on the porch at the cabin. This year we found two vineyards a mile from the house which was fun! We can’t wait to go back next year!

Annual Girls Weekend
This is the second time I have stayed at this beautiful home. It remains a stunning property. On arrival, we learned that there was no heat due to HVAC malfunction. The owner supplied space heaters and complimentary fire wood, making himself readily available should we be uncomfortable, which we were not. This home provides for a perfect, relaxing fall getaway. The owners are kind and responsive. We will be back.

Renter beware
The property manager was very difficult to work with Christy Wolfe. You need to provide absolutely everything!!! My biggest disappointment was having to provide my own wood for the fireplace and pit. The 2nd photo shows more than a full cord of wood but reality is for both places 5 pieces of wood ONLY provided by the place. I had to find someone and spent 140 to get a weeks worth.Also they charge for cleaning but there was a months of dust on the mantle and under the couches. However, we did have a good time but would find another place next time.

Wonderful Escape
Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful cabin. The scenery is beautiful (especially out the back of the cabin!), though it’s not far from town it felt remote and private and the cabin itself easily accommodated our family of 12. Communication was great, check in was easy and seamless and we will definitely be back!

Great house and surrounding property!
Enjoyed our stay in early November! The house itself is well stocked and laid out conveniently for two couples and our two babies (under 1) who needed their own space for early bedtimes. We didn’t use the fire pit or decks outdoors as the weather didn’t allow but walked down to the river every morning with our coffee. We will definitely be back!

A place to reconnect
Beautiful property in the mountains, the cabin has large windows we felt surrounded by trees. The kitchen was well stocked, there is a cabinet full of games for the kids. Comfy beds, plenty of space, saw deer from the kitchen, the sunsets were stunning. Great activities close by, we picked apples at BJ Reece and visited Monteluce winery.

Me and The Girls
We weathered Hurricane Helene at the cabin and was still able to explore Ellijay and go apple picking. My teenage daughter, three of her friends and I stayed for two nights. The cabin is clean and the beds are comfortable. The location is great for several orchards and proximity to downtown Ellijay. Even with the power out- we were fine. Board games and hide-and-go seek… we will be back.

Labor Day Weekend on the river
We met up with our adult children and their spouses from Atlanta. This home had very comfortable beds, a well stocked kitchen with gourmet pots and pans. We enjoyed the screened in porch and deck with beautiful views. However, the time on the river was the best. The comfortable seating down by the river allowed our family to read and play cards while some tried their hand at fly fishing.

Beautiful mountain house with river access
We loved our stay! Home was beautiful with gorgeous views. We enjoyed the river - definitely recommend driving down not walking. Close to Walmart in Elijay and blue ridge. Beds were very comfortable - even the bunk beds. Had some issues getting communication as I thought emails were junk mail, but other than that everything was great. Would stay here again!

Relaxing Getaway
This house is great for a family of all adults! Very peaceful and well stocked kitchen. We enjoyed having the hot tub as well! My only 2 complaints were the number of bath towels available, and the table on the screen porch was so dirty with pollen we couldn’t use it - and it was perfect weather to do so). I do understand pollen season in Georgia, but it would’ve been nice to have had it cleaned before we got here. Overall great place and I would stay here again 😊
