Originally a humble two-room hunting lodge with only a pair of wood-burning fireplaces, the home was later sold to a master woodworker named Joe. Once in Joe’s hands, the transformation began. He poured creativity and craftsmanship into every corner, building a whimsical wonderland complete with playful balconies, curvy staircases, handmade light fixtures, and quirky custom sinks. Every detail was designed to spark joy and leave a lasting impression. Eventually, Joe passed the torch to Margaret—a decorating enthusiast with a flair for the nostalgic and unexpected. She brought in antiques, family heirlooms dating back to the 1800s, and charming oddities that make the space feel both personal and playful. Her unique touch turned this already fabulous house into something even more unforgettable. The home is child-friendly, featuring a third-floor kids’ nook (perfect for little ones or adventurous adults!), and includes an open honor bar for guests to enjoy responsibly. Located on Double Knob Mountain, this funky and eclectic escape is best accessed with all-wheel or 4-wheel drive—especially in colder months when mountain weather can be unpredictable. ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Food and drink - Dishwasher - Hob - Microwave ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 3.5 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Fireplace ### Entertainment - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) ## Similar properties ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/92000000/91850000/91840300/91840278/ecf222fd.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Dog-friendly cabin with mountain view, ping pong, pool table, fireplace, & W/D Ellijay - Kitchen - Pet-friendly - Air-conditioning - Outdoor space 8.8 Excellent 14 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-05&endDate=2026-01-06&selected=91840278&PinnedHotelID=91840278&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/96000000/95800000/95799100/95799097/f2f6bb73.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Woods At Whitetail Ridge- 2 fireplaces- Ellijay - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer - Microwave 10 Exceptional 53 reviews £186 includes taxes & fees 6 Jan - 7 Jan 2026 [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-06&endDate=2026-01-07&selected=95799097&PinnedHotelID=95799097&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/92000000/91990000/91984300/91984214/w795h528x0y0-8c3961b8.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Summit Venture:, gorgeous pet-friendly escape with breathtaking mountain views, firepit, hot tub, WiFi, and scenic hiking trails Ellijay - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer 9.4 Exceptional 23 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-05&endDate=2026-01-06&selected=91984214&PinnedHotelID=91984214&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/94000000/93330000/93323300/93323244/68893809.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Mountain getaway with breathtaking views.
