Patricia was a great host! She communicated quickly and the check in process was very smooth. The property itself is so cute and homely and close to town. We didn’t have to drive further than 20 minutes to get anywhere. I highly recommend this cabin!

Stay in Ellijay!

My family and I wanted a quiet, easy, fun getaway to celebrate my retirement from the military and take some time to relax. This place delivered. Great inground pool, deer in the yard with morning coffee and just a short drive town for meals. Pooles BBQ was fun and food was good, Cajun Depot Grill was great food! We enjoyed a Braves game, the GA aquarium and Zoo Atlanta during our stay and was all within a short hour to 1.5 hr drive down to the city. The property photos do a great job representing the inside. We will likely visit again as we loved the area and the stay was comfortable. Loved there was a pool and pets were not allowed.

After clearly stating to the owner that we were excited to be staying in her house… upon the day of arrival finding out-she failed to tell us that we would be in a basement efficiency unit. I would’ve never scheduled had I known that piece of information. we left the next morning and asked for a partial refund. No response to date.
