THE SPACE:
Your cabin is spacious, with plenty of room to roam or flop in the large living room, 2 bedrooms, and partially finished basement with game room. You can spend your mornings sipping coffee in an expansive sunroom that overlooks the woods—slide the windows open and take in the cool mountain air, listen to the birds, and gaze at the lake peeking through the trees.
COZY AND RELAXING: Spend your evenings nestled on the comfy reclining sectional or overstuffed recliner in front of the crackling fireplace. Read a book or watch a movie on your 70-inch, Roku-enabled TV (we also offer a collection of DVDs and a cabinet of family board games). Or perhaps you prefer to gather around the firepit, roasting smores or hot dogs. Or just relax in the hot tub on the moonlit deck and take in the sky’s breathtaking blanket of stars.
"SLEEPING ACCOMODATIONS: You and the members of your party will enjoy the restful sleep that only a mountain cabin can offer. In one upstairs bedroom, a queen bed comfortably sleeps two guests, and a log futon with full-sized mattress sleeps an additional two kids or a teen/adult. This room also offers a ROKU tv, spacious closet, and ceiling fan, as well as a small balcony where you can step out and take in the mountain air the moment you wake up in the morning. A second upstairs bedroom presents two twin, log beds, two walk-in closets, ROKU tv, ceiling fan, and a built-in desk/workstation. Finally, the log futon in the downstairs living room offers a thick, comfy mattress and bedspread (additional comforter in the dining room cabinet) for additional guests. Some of your party might even choose to sleep in the soft, sectional recliners (there are three of them) or the overstuffed reclining chair. All beds feature top-quality, fine thread-count sheets that breathe—keeping you cool in the summer and warm in the winter."
MODERN CONVENIENCES: For all its rustic charm, your cabin offers plenty of modern conveniences, including smart, Roku TVs in the living room, both bedrooms, and the basement game room. You can also choose from our library of DVDs to watch in the living room. If you need to work remotely, you can, using the cabin’s built-in workstation. Or take your work out to the sunroom and let nature be your backdrop. If you work best on a large monitor, the cabin includes a 32-inch, curved HD gaming monitor, which you are welcome to use. Please note that broadband in the cabin is offered via satellite, which can be spotty for applications that require broadband, like videoconferencing (Zoom, etc.). However, AT&T and Verizon both offer strong signals in the area, so you can use your phone as a mobile hotspot for those purposes, if you have accounts with these service providers.
COZY CARPET: The home is carpeted, which adds to the comfort and coziness of the space.
DOG FRIENDLY: We love our furry friends! If your dog enjoys sleeping in a comfortable crate, we have a large one you can use, complete with comfy pad, in the basement, which you are welcome to take upstairs. Otherwise, let your pup curl up on the rug in front of the fireplace. They’ll love it!
STOCKED KITCHEN: You can cook your meals in a fully stocked kitchen, which includes a Keurig coffee machine. Eat at the inviting dining room table, or step outside to the expansive deck with table and chairs, along the side of the cabin.
WASHER/DRYER: You will find the washer and dryer in the partially finished basement, which is not fancy, but clean, with plenty of lighting.
FOOSBALL & EXPLORING: For extra fun, head down to the partially finished basement game room for a foosball tournament. You can also play games around the table (some board games have been provided). If outdoor activities are more your speed, go explore the 4 acres of private woods in front of the cabin, or up the mountain behind the cabin. It’s all yours for your vacation adventure.
GUEST ACCESS:
You have access to the entire cabin and the entire wooded property. Spend your afternoons hiking or fishing in a stocked, private community lake (catch and release). Take a picnic basket and enjoy lunch at the pavilion there. You are also welcome to explore the four private acres in front of and behind the cabin, up the mountain.
THE NEIGHBORHOOD:
The cabin sits in the most desirable area of Gilmore County. Roads are winding and scenic, and a pleasure to drive.
Hikers, bikers, and outdoor enthusiasts, the cabin lies close to hiking and mountain bike trails of Bear Creek, Pinhote Trail, Lake Conasuaga, Fort Mountain, and Mountaintown Creek.
Shoppers, less than 15 minutes away, Historic Downtown Ellijay features sweet little shops, a Bavarian chocolatier, wood-fired pizza, and other amazing restaurants, and pubs/wine bars. Make a day of fun in town, then head home to your special, private getaway for a warm and cozy evening.
History buffs, less than five minutes down the road, you can visit Mt. Nebo cemetery, where early area settlers and Civil War soldiers are buried.
OTHER THINGS TO NOTE:
Although we pride ourselves on a rigorous cleaning after each guest’s stay, guests with pet allergies should be aware that we are dog friendly. We’d love for you to come and stay at the cabin, but we also want to make sure you are comfortable on your vacation.
We placed a security camera at the top of the cabin’s driveway. It captures the view down the driveway with an image only wide enough to see any approaching vehicles. We provide this as an extra security measure, so our guests feel extra safe. This is the only security camera on the property.
Proximity to wildlife is a wonderful bonus of staying in a cabin in the woods. You will see plenty of hummingbirds, squirrels, and deer, too. The woods are also home to bears, which are breathtaking to behold. Respect their homes and their cubs—and do not leave food outside for them to come find—and you should get along just fine.
HOUSE RULES:
Absolutely no smoking in the cabin, including in the sunroom, even if the windows are open. Smoking is allowed outside and on the deck, with proper disposal of cigarette butts.
We hope you enjoy your stay in our secluded mountain getaway.
Breathe. Relax. Live.
