Wonderful in every way! The only problem we had was opening the bear proof garbage can. We left our bags of trash in the kitchen since the bear proof can was also human proof!!

Great place to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life. Our favorite part was sitting in Creekside, watching the deer pass by every evening.

Truly Almost Heaven

I found this home through a VRBO recommendation and it was better than I thought it would be! The home is beautiful and very well decorated in a barn style with all the amenities. The property is located on Mountaintown Creek and the outdoor spaces lend themselves to sitting creek side enjoying nature. The city of Ellijay was very enjoyable with a lot of shops, antique hunting, and great restaurants. We had a great time and would definitely visit again!

Tranquil retreat in country chic beauty

Perfect mountain, riverfront get away in a beautiful country chic home that has all the essentials as a home away along with thoughtfully provided extras! We have been VRBOing for over 20 years and this owner/host was the most efficient, gracious and thoughtful we have experienced and our stay was seamless allowing us the perfect respite and renewal.

Long Weekend Escape

Beautiful home!! I have stayed in many VRBO rentals, and this is by far the cleanest rental, and most well stocked kitchen. Beautifully decorated, but done in a way, that makes you feel comfy and welcome. Sitting on the deck, which sits right at creek side, enjoying your morning coffee or evening glass of wine, is “almost heaven”.

Great creekside cabin in quiet neighborhood

The cabin appears to have been renovated and an absolutely superb job was done. I'm jealous. Cabin was super clean and the hosts made sure to make visitors comfortable with quality furnishings and linen. Snacks on the kitchen island were a great touch as well. Though I didn't land any trout, the quality and location of the cabin make it worth a repeat visit.

Definitely (almost) Heaven

We were greeted with the sounds of the water splashing over rocks and birds singing in the trees overhead as soon as we stepped out of the car. I could feel my body and mind totally relax as we walked inside to the cutest, cleanest, most inviting cabin I've ever rented! Slept like a baby and can hardly wait to return!

Heaven

This was our second stay at Mountaintown Creek Escape and just as wonderful as the first time. Such a gorgeous property. The home had everything that we needed and is so comfortable. We cooked all of our breakfasts and dinners at home and the kitchen is well equipped. The balcony over the river is the perfect place for coffee and cocktails. We definitely spent most of our time out there. Contact with the host was easy and prompt. We love this vacation home and plan to return yearly!

Happy Place

This is our fourth stay at this “slice of heaven”. Each time we open the front door, it feels like coming home. Never disappoints…. extremely clean, kitchen well stocked, beautiful decor…. Just everything to make your stay comfortable. Every time we visit, we intend to go into downtown Elijay, but as soon as we sit on the back deck and listen to the soothing sounds of the river, we never leave the cabin. We’ll be back!
