About this property

Private Elegant Modern Rustic Cozy Refreshing and Healing

Please...Show us respect... write to us BEFORE attempting to Book. We will respond... and ... CHECK YOUR SPAM FOLDER!

Lets make sure we are a good fit for each other. We will not complete any booking without a proper email discussion.

We require an "official" guest list with all names and ages, including daytime guests, and any pets visiting or staying.

We are proudly a true VRBO'er, the most important part being By Owner. That means we offer the attention to detail, cleanliness, and amenities that you would expect from owners who are intimately and directly involved with the care and management of their cabin. It also means we have another life! and are NOT on duty 24/7 (except for emergencies of course).

We are giving you our best, and we expect your best in return. We do not care to be treated like the Economy Inn. We hope you can tell the difference and treat us accordingly. We are not your best option for bargain hunters, but do provide one of the best values available for quality of your intimate mountain vacation experience.

Hills 'n Holler is our second vacation rental. HnH is located behind our first, rental called Wagon Wheel Ridge, which you can find here on VRBO at listing #161442. We invite you read our reviews at WWR to get an idea of the kind of experience we seek to give you.

The most consistent reaction we have from guests, family and friends is that Hills 'n Holler is equal to Wagon Wheel Ridge, and some prefer HnH because it is more spacious. They definitely have two different 'characters.' Both are always far more beautiful than expected to first-time visitors. Pictures don’t do them justice. Beautiful, private setting. Fully landscaped and decorated.

There is something for both him and her. She will appreciate the tasteful and well-appointed rooms. He will appreciate the Large screen TV and home theatre systems for watching the game. Both will appreciate the private, cozy, quiet, natural setting. You will simply enjoy! HnH is fun, relaxing, beautiful, serene, exciting, peaceful, private. It is close to nature, quaint, cozy, comforting. There is a warmth that is hard to put into words, that you cant see in pictures.

Hills 'n Holler is a little bit rustic, a little bit modern casual elegance. It is the darn near perfect cozy cabin tucked away in the hills. If you are looking for an extraordinary, peaceful, private and relaxing getaway, We'd love to have ya' drop by!

On vacation in the mountains…Its All About The HOT TUB and The View…The tub itself is a 6 seat Gulf Coast Spa LX5000 with lights, waterfall, and aromatherapy. And...drum roll please...we positioned the hot tub so you can enjoy the mountain view from the tub...you can truly soak it all in.

Do you want a getaway that sticks with you for weeks. A vacation experience you cant help but tell your family and friends about? This is the place. Right here. Enjoy a week or a weekend - grillin', chillin', hiking, biking, kayaking. Or just snuggle in watching your favorites - sports, movies, classic TV - or maybe some quiet time, catching up on some reading.

Upstairs we have a comfy-cozy Living Room, Master Bedroom and Dining Room all open to each other, with a tall vaulted ceiling. The overall effect is cozy spaciousness. The windows are trimmed in tree bark. We gave the vaulted wooden ceiling a soft buffed effect, and almost all of the furniture has been custom made for us. We have a see-thru wood-burning fireplace that opens to the living room and the kitchen

The Living Room has a wall full of large windows to give you a full time view. You can enjoy the game in sheer audio and visual pleasure on the Sony 46' HD LCD TV and 5.1 Sony Home Theatre System with in ceiling and in-wall Yamaha speakers & subwoofer.

We provide Dish Network Satellite TV reception, a DVD player upstairs, and a Sony PS3 downstairs.

The kitchen has a dual composite sink, antiqued and distressed cabinets and granite countertop. Whirlpool electric range and ceramic stovetop, microwave, dishwasher, and French door bottom freezer refrigerator, and various small appliances for your convenience.

We have a beautifully decorated king Master Bedroom and Bathroom with tub/shower and two sinks upstairs. Then we have a cozy and cute queen Bedroom downstairs with an equally cute full (shower-only) bathroom.

We have a doubledecker deck. Right outside the kitchen on the upper deck we have a stainless steel propane gas grill for quick and easy grillin'. Walk around the corner and you are outside the upstairs living room overlooking our holler. There are with plenty of tables & chairs to spread out, and two comfortable rocking chairs for relaxing with someone special. The Hot Tub is on the lower deck, along with more tables & chairs, and being lower, a closer view of the Holler!.

Outside, we have beautiful natural landscaping.. We also have an outdoor fire-pit. We supply the wood - you supply the common sense and don't set the woods on fire.

Details matter, and we have put extra attention in appointments and furnishings, from the linens to the wall decor. For all beds we use premium quality mattresses and high thread count sheets.

How do you get a mountain view - You gotta climb a hill. With over twenty years of rental guests coming and going on our hill, obviously this is not an issue for most folks. But for a few it is. Unlike so many of the privately owned roads out here in the country, we make sure ours is maintained regularly. Nevertheless, low-slung cars, overloaded/under-powered vehicles, and timid drivers are at a disadvantage driving any gravel hill. If you want to know more, please ask.

Hills 'n Holler is only about 12 miles from Ellijay in Gilmer County, Georgia, the Apple Capital of Georgia. Ellijay is home to the Apple Festival held two weekends in October. There are Apple Houses along the highways with fresh and canned produce, gifts, baked goods, and other treats. Ellijay has numerous antique shops, art galleries, and restaurants. Hills 'n Holler is also convenient to Amicalola Falls, Dawsonville, Dahlonega, and Blue Ridge, each with their own attractions. Go antiquing to your heart's content or ride the scenic railway in Blue Ridge. Visit the North Georgia Premium Outlet stores & the Georgia Racing Hall of Fame in Dawsonville. Pan for gold & shop antiques in Dahlonega. Yee Haw!

Mountaintop Retreat

The cabin is really clean and there is lots of room. The upper deck is the only one we used, but it was really nice early in the day and in the early evening. The kitchen is well-stocked with seasonings, coffee, and kitchenware. The only challenge was getting up the steep gravel driveway. We went out only once during our stay, but didn't love the drive back up. The host was excellent and responded to emails/questions quickly. Thanks for an excellent retreat where we could also bring our pup.

Great place if traveling with other families

We traveled with my parents and this cabin was great because there are two different living areas (upstairs and downstairs). We enjoyed the views and the porches, the kitchen is well stocked and it was handy to have a washer and dryer. The road getting up the mountain can be a challenge depending on the vehicle. I’m glad we have AWD and we didn’t have an issue. Overall it’s a great place that is convenient to everything we wanted to do.

Best VRBO I have been to!

I literally do not have one complaint about this cabin! Everything exceeded our expectations! The cabin is adorable, amazingly stocked, and well kept. It seems like many vacation rentals use low quality everything, while this one didn’t cut corners and felt like home! We will be back and will recommend this to everyone we know!

A pocket of peace and relaxation

First, our week long stay was wonderful. The property was very well taken care of with all of the necessities one needs. From separate hot tub towels to a meat thermometer, I don't thing there was anything that we needed and were missing. The location is beautiful with just a short ride into the closest town for supplies or a meal. We got a powdering of snow and the kids thoroughly enjoyed making the tiniest snowmen ever created. Since we were there during the winter storm, we were asked to drip the faucets until the temperature rose above freezing, which wasn't a problem at all. The power did go out one night for about 3 hours, but as soon as it did the property manager came by to show us where the emergency supplies could be found, ask if we needed anything else, and discuss what we could do if the power didn't come back on soon. Luckily for us it did, and we got to continue our stay. The kids loved having the downstairs area to themselves for the stay and we really liked that after bedtime we could relax upstairs with a fire and chat without worrying about waking them up. The property manager trimmed and decorated a tree for us, for our stay and the kids thought Santa had prepped the cabin for us, and who am I to tell them otherwise? We had an amazing Christmas and a very relaxing week. We hope to come back next winter for another visit. It's just what we needed for our holiday break

**BEST CABIN EXPERIENCE EVER!!!**

Please stay here! You’ll be so glad you did. Worth every penny. Hot tub is immaculately clean, and you can sit in it and look out over the mountains and then see the stars at night. So peaceful. No neighbors in your view. You’re in nature. King bed in master with heated mattress pad, controls for each side so you and your partner can set to different temps to sleep. I want one for our bed at home now!! Two nice TV’s. You can stream your favorite shows on their Roku or watch Dish TV. Two nice living rooms, one on each level with TV’s and couches/chairs. Two bedrooms and full bathrooms on different floors. Great for two couples to go, or if you have kids. 15 mins to downtown Ellijay. It’s so cute. Apple capital of GA! Can go apple picking a few miles away. Cleanest VRBO stay yet, and we only stay at 5-star places and travel A LOT. Couldn’t find one speck of dust if I tried! Took our two little mini doxies. They had a blast too. Full kitchen with all you need to cook. We cooked all our dinners in, salmon, spaghetti, you name it. Full fridge and freezer to put your groceries in. Rocking chairs and tables/chairs on both level decks. So beautiful to look at mtns, so quiet. Good wifi! Please book it! We’re going back come Fall! See you then, Steve! ;)

Amazing Mountain Getaway

My husband and I celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary at this beautiful home. Getting to and from town back up the mountain was scary and we prayed no one else was coming or going as it is basically a one car dirt road up the mountain. You are gifted with a gorgeous home and gorgeous views...and MOST OF ALL quiet away from people. Every person we met in any of the small towns we visited were extremely friendly and helpful. Steve has great communication....don't be put off by the stern rules as most adults who respect themselves and others automatically respect the properties they are visiting. I believe if it were my home I would be just as detailed as Steve in my guidelines. The bed was amazingly comfortable. Hot tubbing under the stars was the most incredible thing. We want one now :). The house looks bigger from the picture of the outside, however, there is PLENTY of room and everything you need to cook and stay hold up if that is what you are needing. We would LOVE to stay at this home in the Fall. I'll bet it is breathtaking.

Great & Relaxing Family Getaway

Had a great & relaxing trip to this property. I slept so well on the main floor bed - the bed heater was a real treat. The wrap around porch was a great feature with a hot tub. The view from the porch was spectacular and the space feels private. My son & his friend stayed down stairs and enjoyed using it as a kids space. My only downside is that the property sits atop a steep hill on a gravel road. My Santa Fe SUV had a hard time climbing it and our wheels spun out the first time we went up. 4 wheel drive strongly recommended for this trip! Otherwise, awesome and comfy stay!

A Relaxing Stay

We had no problems getting to the cabin by following the directions provided, they're not kidding about the hill you have to climb though. I had to take it a little faster at 25 or so in my front wheel drive RAV4, but we made it up after a few tries. You should also take the same way back out that you took to get in. Technically the road does continue on and reconnects to the main road, but its less traveled and not graveled, if you have a 4x4 or some off road experience in a car that's got some height you'll be fine, if you have a car that's fairly low to the ground or you don't have either of the previously mentioned I would avoid going that way. The cabin was clean, very well stocked, and we spent a few days taking in the fresh air and watching the stars, we will definitely be back.
