The cabin is wonderful and the river in the backyard is beautiful. Nice wood burning stove in the living room kept us toasty and warm all week long.

We went to pick apples at the orchards, visited two vineyards, visited downtown Ellijay, and ate at a local restaurant called The Roof, drove to Blue Ridge for the day. We rode our bikes and hiked in the woods all while here. In the evenings we relaxed and took in the beauty of the woods as well as listening to the water rushing.

Overall experience was absolutely amazing. The location of the cabin was so close to restaurants and shopping but you still felt like you were secluded. Views of river were amazing. Couldnt be any closer. Very spacious for our family of four and very clean. We loved the wood burning stove and it came in handy during cooler nights. We will definitely book this cabin again. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit.

This stay was fantastic. The location right by the river was perfectpeaceful, scenic, and close to everything. The space was much larger than expected, super clean, and really comfortable. The Wi-Fi was a little unreliable at times, but it didnt ruin the experience as you are in the mountains not the big cities. Id absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

We were here to celebrate 33 years of marriage. We've enjoyed sitting by the fire pit, slept on the porch swing, and the wine & food festival at Buckley's Vineyards. We had some friends come by as well for shopping and dining out. It's been a wonderful stay.

We toured the area and visited Helen (We absolutely adored it!) We enjoyed some area restaurants and did a little shopping as well as enjoyed talking to some of the locals. We have gotten to completely unplug from work and phones, enjoyed sleeping in, the sounds of the river, and dips in the hot tub.
