Great experience.
The home is lovely! Plenty of room for all twelve of us to hang out in the living room and kitchen area! Multiple deer in the yard was a bonus.
Everyone front the tens to the great grandma traveled together for a relaxing getaway. It was nice and quiet. Very clean. We enjoyed it greatly and recommend this house.
Went for a few days to north GA to see the leaves change colors and had a great time. Home was clean and spacious, with many amenities for a multi-day stay. Location was good. WWould definitely consider

Nice Home
This home is very spacious, so many doors twist and turns but overall great for large groups. It was clean and smelled really nice. The deers was a nice addition to this beautiful property.
The Downside is the garage and rooms downstairs were extremely cold and even with the heat all the way up it never really warms up and lastly (this part has no reflection on the property owner or property manager) The caucasian gentleman working the gate was extremely rude to all of us, so my advice to guest of color is to beware of that.
Love the cabin! we had a blast and super close to downtown and wineries!

The place was ok but it had some problems. My family was already in Elijay when I received a text that our cabin would not be ready until 5:30 that afternoon. They had not finished cleaning it. I said fine but I expected a later check out because of it. Both of my texts asking for a later check were ignored. The master bathroom lights over the sink does not work.
The space was roomy and comfortable. If you want to cook, bring your own cookware because the set here was beat up, dirty and in very bad shape. Also, had issues with a toilet running constantly in the master and it wasn’t clear how to get this repaired. Also, suggest that the dozens of light switches be labeled to help cut down on light switch bingo.

Beautiful Area
The area was beautiful. Lots of deer that come right up to the porch.
The house is not as big as it appears in the pictures. It will sleep ten but no way can ten people gather in the living/kitchen area comfortably.
9 of us guys got together to hangout and have a chill weekend. Absolutely perfect place to be with your friends or family and just hangout. The rec is really fun and the staff are super nice. The house has a lot of amenities and things to keep everyone busy. Very comfortable and clean place to stay. Highly recommend. It is also not a tight squeeze for a group of 9 or 10.
My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Our only drawbacks were probably on us. We had a hard time figuring out which light switch worked what and the beds has a sheet and summer comforter, not really warm enough for December. We got in late Friday night after a wedding and probably just didn’t look hard enough. It was a great place. If we make it back that way, we would definitely book this place again!

A terrible management company manages the property. I will not rent a property that will be the management company in the future.
The cabin was beautiful. Overall pretty clean. There were some things that could have been cleaner. I did have to contact vacasa to change guest list, which was an unpleasant experience. Took 2 conversations to get it sorted out. Everything else was pretty smooth.
Home is very clean in a nice location. So nice to see the deer out front of home each morning. The beds were absolutely HORRIBLE - there were 6 adults and all of us were complaining about how uncomfortable the beds were. One couple even purchased an air mattress to sleep on after 2 nights of sleeping on the beds. There is no lock on the bathroom in the living area so that makes it interesting to have privacy. Pots/pans need to be updated.

Unorganized
The kitchen was very unorganized, pots & pans in different cabinets, lids that didn't fit anything. Only one big red bowl so not enough to mix things in, so if you wanted to prep a salad for dinner & need a larger bowl for something else you were out of luck. Iwas aalso odd walking in to
Enough space for our family of 11. There were 3-5 deer in the yard every day of our 3 night stay. Enjoyed the sun porch and front porch. We used the grill a couple of times. Only complaint about that is, it was on the downstairs patio, so everything for grilling had to be carried up and down a long staircase, unless you wanted to walk around the house. But that was a minor inconvenience. I noticed in a couple of previous reviews, that the beds were comfortable. While they appear to be some sort of memory foam, we found them to be too firm. The kitchen was well appointed. We would recommend a larger outside trash can for the number of guests the listing allows.
