We truly enjoyed staying here for two nights. We wish we could have stayed longer! Beautiful house, comfortable place to stay, great place for the kids, and nice for a family getaway! Loved the fire pit by the water. My granddaughter (5) loves the dress up clothes and accessories. The host was very kind and informative. Directions for our stay were clear.

First time to Elijay

Our family has always been a beach family for vacations. We tried out Elijay for the first time this year. The cabin is beautiful and steps away from the river. The owner has put a lot of effort into ensuring guests have a great time while staying at their cabin. I have had multiple friends ask me for the property information just from seeing photographs I posted on social media of our vacation. Very peaceful location. We can’t wait to go back.

Relaxing!

We enjoyed our days there. Wonderful memories were made with family. We fished, relaxed by the stream and just chilled out during our stay. I would recommend this cabin. Just be prepared for the gravel roads near the end of your destination. It was still worth it! :)

This cabin was absolutely wonderful! The check-in and check-out process was seamless, and the host was incredibly responsive and well-organized. One of the best features was the direct access to the water—it was such a treat! The cabin was fully stocked with plenty of amenities and games to keep everyone entertained. To make our stay even more special, we were greeted by a beautifully decorated Christmas tree and stockings hanging by the fireplace—it truly felt magical. Highly recommend this cabin, 10/10!

Serene sounds of the river are spectacular.

Had an excellent time staying at this property. The serene sounds of the river are abundant. The home is well appointed and in a great location away from noisy roads. The deer are everywhere within the resort property which add an additional layer to the peaceful setting. The property owner is very responsive. I will certainly rent from her again when I return to Ellijay.

Wonderful getaway!

We had a relaxing and fantastic time! The host was wonderful to respond when we did need her, and it was clear she was committed to make our vacation as perfect as possible. The location to the water for tubing/swimming was great and exactly what I wanted when I pictured our family time. For the reviews that mentioned concern with the roads, I will agree that I also was concerned. For the most part we took our Jeep or Highlander when we went out, but our daughter was able to get her Prius in/out with no issue. Would definitely recommend this place to stay.

Great Mountain Vacation

We enjoyed our house for the week. It was hard to find at first, but once we figured out to get to and from the house it was fine. We enjoyed the river and amenities of the resort. Our children loved fishing, swimming, and tubing in the river next to the house. It was beautiful and the owner was super helpful when we needed anything. We would love to rent from one of her properties again.

Great family getaway

We brought our family of eight up to Ellijah to spend Father’s Day weekend celebrating my husband and son. It was a perfect weekend. The cabin is gorgeous and having the river in our backyard was so convenient. Our 6 and 10-year-old grandchildren loved wading in the water, fishing and learning how to skip rocks. They each caught two baby trout, which made the whole trip worthwhile. We enjoyed the campfire in the evenings making s’mores, and even though it was very warm, there was always a breeze off the water and luckily no mosquitoes. The cabin itself was well stocked and clean with plenty of room for eight of us. I will say the ride to the cabin down the mountain side was a little scary but not scary enough that we won’t be back next year. Betsey was a joy to work with and called and made sure we had everything we needed. You will definitely not be disappointed!

Perfectly Wonderful!!!

We haven’t been back to Ellijay in 2 years after our family sold the vacation house on Eagle Mountain. When I found Betsey’s house 2 houses down we knew it was exactly where we wanted to be! The house was wonderfully stocked with all the essentials and our trips to Ingles supermarket are always highlights to our trip! We marked off new places from our bucket list and enjoyed repeat visits to downtown Ellijay and Blue Ridge. We loved taking the train from Blue Ridge to McCaysville GA and Copperhill TN. We walked many miles along the river looking at the changes made in the last 2 years and visiting with some of the year round residents we have met in the past. The weather was gorgeous and I even spent an afternoon floating in my tube! Betsey was a wonderful host and we cannot wait to go back next year!! 5 stars!!!

Amazing Location

This property is beautiful! Google maps took us close enough to get to the property. The roads in the resort property are narrow and winding with steep portions. We had no issues getting to the cabin, even pulling a loaded trailer. If you have experience driving on gravel, country roads, it's an easy drive. The host is amazing and promptly communicates. She went the extra mile for our accommodations, due to having severe, chemical allergies. The cabin is clean and well kept. It's a cabin in the woods, so sometimes you have bugs sneak in. We have a lot of deer in Indiana, but this place is packed with them and wild turkeys. We loved our stay and appreciate Betsey's willingness to help with our allergy needs. This is the perfect cabin in the woods.

Awesome

Awesome property. We recommend getting supplies from town on your way in to the cabin. The last 3 miles to the cabin are on pretty skinny mountain roads with lots of sharp corners and elevation changes. It is a drive that is not for the feint of heart, especially if its dark, raining, and foggy. But once you're there, it is a truly special place. 10/10 A+.
