'Just a Step Away' - a Secluded Cabin on Stover Creek w/Fiber Wi-Fi & Hot Tub

We are a licensed host in Gilmer County #001182
This is a very private cabin on a beautiful large 3.5-acre lot. It is in a small community of larger plot mini farms along a secluded section of Stover Creek. This rustic and well-maintained chink log cabin is in its own valley and neighbors are out of view, even in winter months. The large, screened porch, with a luxurious hot tub, faces the woods. The relaxing sounds of nature and rushing water will wash away the worries of city life.
Two king-sized bedrooms, large loft and sofa beds provide sleeping for up to 6 adults comfortably. Two large bathrooms and a washer and dryer provide facilities for all guests’ cleaning needs. The kitchen is well appointed, including a large refrigerator, a dishwasher and a full-size gas range and stove.
There is super-fast fiber Internet, phone service through ETC, large smart TVs in the bedrooms and living room, and central heat and air. The atmosphere from a real wood burning stone fireplace, with a gas starter, makes it feel like camping without 'roughing it.' Firewood is provided.
This wonderful retreat is in the Blue Ridge Wildlife Management Area of the Chattahoochee National Forest but is still only an hour and a half drive from Atlanta.
There are lots of fun things to do in this area. Hiking abounds: the Benton MacKaye and the Appalachian Trails heads are about 12 miles away on Springer Mountain, and there is numerous hiking trails close by that lead to several waterfalls, a swinging bridge, and spectacular mountain views. Fishing opportunities in the numerous trout streams and in area mountain lakes are plentiful and cater to all skill levels. The kayaking and tubing opportunities on the Cartecay river and Toccoa river are very close by, and the shuttle services are inexpensive and easy to navigate. More challenging guided white-water rafting is a short drive away, as well. Mountain bike trails and horseback riding are also easy to locate and enjoy.
Beautiful downtown Ellijay is about 15 miles away. Ellijay has numerous antique shops and art galleries and small eateries. Ellijay is host to an apple festival in October, while the numerous orchards are open all year long and have tours, some offer hayrides and petting areas for the kids. The city of Blue Ridge is about 25 miles from this cabin. Blue Ridge offers old-fashioned train rides along the Toccoa River and plenty of shops, restaurants and bars to enjoy as well. The entire area is rich with history and southern culture and charm.
The mountains of northwest Georgia are not overly touristy or trashy. The locals have character are pleasant and eager to please visitors. Simply driving through this naturally beautiful area is a scenic adventure. Come see for yourself, and I’m sure you’ll have a difficult time keeping this place a secret!

This cabin was equipped better than most homes. It was clean and comfortable. The location was off the beaten path, as we didn’t see anyone else in the area from the time we left the paved roads down to the cabin which was on gravel roads. If you are seeking comfortable seclusion, this is a great place to consider. Communication with the owners was quick and efficient without being over taxing.

Pleasantly remote. We didn’t see a human or an automobile for three days! The property is remarkably well equipped. We brought things we thought we would need… it was already there. After a few days of relaxation we ventured out and visited Ellijay and Blue Ridge. We loved our stay!

We can't wait to go back! The cabin/house was perfect. Absolutely loved the screened-in porch and hot tub. The sounds of the forest were so soothing. The creek was perfect for us with the dogs. None of us were ready for our time there to end. Eric was a wonderful host.

We were looking to get away from the noise and stress of everyday life, and that’s exactly what we found at “Just a Step Away”. This property is so peaceful and is definitely secluded! We didn’t see or hear any neighbors! We loved sitting on the porch listening to the creek! We will definitely be booking this cabin again, hopefully in the near future! Sandy & Kelly King

Cozy, Lovely Cabin

This cabin was just as described in the listing. It was secluded, cozy, and well-equipped. Our family enjoyed every minute. The owner welcomed us with a message in the app and phone call on the home line ensuring we located the cabin okay, was quick to respond when we requested info regarding the hot tub (temperature is controlled remotely by home owner), and ensured all of our needs were met.We thoroughly enjoyed walking down to the creek, spending time by the campfire, lounging in the hot tub after a day of hiking, cooking out on the grill and eating on the porch, and playing board games.

Fully stocked home that isn’t far from attractions but also feels like it’s in the middle of no where! Came in at dark after driving a while and I felt like I was taking my Acura off road. The road wasn’t too rough but it is tight with the bushes and limbs growing. Unfortunately a storm came through and shut off power which left us with no water, WiFi or call service. We decided to pack up and head home early. Host was very responsive. If you’re looking to get away from the city this is your place.

Weekend Get-Away

I surprised my fiance with a stay here over Valentine’s Day weekend. Couldn’t have been more pleased with the decision. From the sound of the trout stream to the hot tub we were relaxed from the beginning. So much to enjoy or kick back and enjoy the fire. This won’t be the last visit for sure!

We love this cabin! It is clean, comfortable, and well-apointed. My wife and I spend a long weekend here every January. It is quiet and off the beaten path, which is exactly what we're looking for. The seclusion is wonderful. The hot tub is a wonderful bonus for a nice, relaxing soak. And, the owners are easy to work with and quite responsive. Highly recommended! 7 out of 5 stars!

Thanksgiving ‘24

This was a lovely cabin to stay at for our very first Thanksgiving away from home. We are a family of 4 with two teenage boys. It was spacious and had plenty of board games for family fun after returning to cabin from exploring Downtown Blue Ridge and McCaysville. It was a perfect Thanksgiving and just what we were looking for! We will definitely be staying here again.

Awesome cabin in the woods!

Beautiful cabin with plenty of room ands lots of resources if you possibly forgot something. Great porch with Hot tub and gas grill. Beautiful stream nearby and firepit for making s'mores. Large fireplace with plenty of firewood. TVs and great directTV, internet, and DVD players with a large selection of movies. Definitely recommend to all (except maybe elderly people. There are stairs to the front entrance and backdoor entrance that would be difficult to traverse). Just being honest.

Fantastic Step Away

Convenient and easy to find out of the way location. Well lit roomy and exceptionally clean updated log cabin nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains between Ellijay and Blue Ridge, GA. Secluded property adjacent to small stream is nicely decorated with ample space and all of the supples and furnishings that makes this property feel like home: A sack full of perishables and a backpack of personal belongings is all that is necessary to relax and enjoy this place and its surroundings for several days. Great comms with the host and excellent value for all the property had to offer. Will stay here again when the opportunity presents itself!
