About this property

Secluded Cabin Right on the Ellijay River minutes from Ellijay or Blue Ridge

This Secluded Cabin is just steps from the beautiful Ellijay River. Listen to the water rush by as you relax on the back screen porch or on the deck overlooking the river. You can relax in the hot tub or read a book sitting on our big rocking chairs. Use the firepit to roast your marshmellows or hot dogs or fire up the grill for your favorite steaks, burgers, or prized grilled chicken dish. You can stroll down this secluded road and visit with some of the local horses, donkeys, or goats or play an outdoor game in the big back yard. You will surely relax in this cozey cabin. Build a wood fire in the fireplace, make a drink, put your feet up and watch the stress slip away.

Relaxing Get Away

My husband and I spend the weekend here for my birthday. Cabin was spotless, comfortable and so quiet. The sound of the river was just what I needed to relax. Make sure to visit downtown Ellijay for great food and a variety of shops. Definitely want to return!

Tranquil City Escape

Tranquil City escape. Peaceful property with the sound of rushing water at all times. The firepit was terrific next to the river. The kids collected rocks from the river, and we also enjoyed the indoor fireplace. We stayed over Christmas. Our local family came for dinner and presets. The games and foosball table were great entertainment. The hot tub was relaxing, we have stressful jobs in major cities, and appreciate the restful activities. I'm going to rent this property again in the summer months. and foosball

Heavenly!

It was as an amazing 3-day stay. Relaxing, rejuvenating, and restorative! From the babbling creek to the red-head woodpecker, sitting on the porch in a rocking chair with a cup of coffee was my ideal vacay. Thank you!

Terrific location! Great log cabin!

We loved the location of this wonderful log cabin. ‘‘Twas so easily accessible to the main highway and both Blue Ridge and Ellijay. What great little towns! The living room was comfortable and well appointed. The screened porch was wonderful, and the hot tub quite relaxing. We did wish the path to the hot tub was a bit safer. Just some flat concrete stones would work nicely. I am a nurse and I’m always thinking ‘ safety’. We loved the lay out of the cabin and its privacy, but I will say that the king size mattress was one of the hardest we’ve ever slept on. I think we would come back again if we could have the issues resolved that disappointed us . The first one was the dock. This cabin is advertised with a picture of a useable dock by the river, and the only one there is is a dilapidated structure cordoned off with yellow caution tape. We were looking forward to sitting there and couldn’t , nor could we climb on the steps to the river because the only place to hold onto was the questionable dock. Just remove it and that will eliminate further disappointments. Or at least don’t advertise it. Also, instructions to use the TV don’t match with the remote. Numerous calls were placed for help, but those went unanswered. Thank goodness we subscribe to a streaming service so we had TV, just not ‘live’. I know we would have loved the fire pit, but the yellow jackets got first dibs, and one sting was enough. Disappointments aside. We still loved the cabin and will return.

Positive and negative

Positive: Right on the creek, perfect for kids. Good size yard. Easy access to everything the Aska adventure area offers. Clean. Plenty of blankets and pillows and extras in the kitchen. Negatives: Hard beds. Lack of hot water and not so great shower heads. "Screened" porch has lots of holes and rips and the wood plank deck allows mosquitoes in. They ate us up on the screened porch. Deck on the creek is falling into the creek and had caution tape up. Hot tub had so much chlorine, we couldn't use it. The fumes were too strong.

Beautiful property and was so welcoming!

We decided quickly that this was our favorite place we had stayed in using Vrbo. The river and view from the porch were both peaceful and like listening to a recording of water over the rocks. Coffee on the porch was enjoyed each morning. The cabin was very comfortable and clean. We do plan to come back for fall and Christmas in the future. This was a wonderful get away with good roads and easy access.
