We tried out Elijay for the first time this year. The cabin is beautiful and steps away from the river. The owner has put a lot of effort into ensuring guests have a great time while staying at their cabin. I have had multiple friends ask me for the property information just from seeing photographs I posted on social media of our vacation. Very peaceful location. We can’t wait to go back. ##### Toby N.

It was hard to find at first, but once we figured out to get to and from the house it was fine. We enjoyed the river and amenities of the resort. Our children loved fishing, swimming, and tubing in the river next to the house. It was beautiful and the owner was super helpful when we needed anything.

The cabin was fully stocked with plenty of amenities and games to keep everyone entertained. To make our stay even more special, we were greeted by a beautifully decorated Christmas tree and stockings hanging by the fireplace—it truly felt magical.

We had a relaxing and fantastic time! The host was wonderful to respond when we did need her, and it was clear she was committed to make our vacation as perfect as possible. The location to the water for tubing/swimming was great and exactly what I wanted when I pictured our family time. For the reviews that mentioned concern with the roads, I will agree that I also was concerned. For the most part we took our Jeep or Highlander when we went out, but our daughter was able to get her Prius in/out with no issue. Would definitely recommend this place to stay. ##### Patrisha B.

The view and water access are amazing! The kitchen was fully stocked with all the necessities for preparing your own meals, which we found helpful as the trip to town was a good 15 minutes away. The only negative feedback I have is that when in the downstairs bedrooms, you can hear too well any little noise or walking in the upstairs area, we used a sound machine which was helpful. ##### Stacey S.

I think the basement area should of been advertised, but the biggest disappoint was the unknown of the path of travel once the paved drive ended. This should be made known in the listing. Cleanliness was great. ##### troy r.

Beds were extremely comfortable and the river not too strong for people to manuver. Do not try to get there however without a relatively powerful vehicle. We had a terrible and scary time getting up some hills. Also the bottom floor is not available without extra cost. Our contact with VRBO person was always timely and helpful. ##### Guiditta L. Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sarah W., Barnesville 25 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect Family Getaway! We absolutely loved our stay and wished we could stay longer! The home was clean and perfectly organized. They even had dress up clothes and toys for kids. The home was cozy and the river side fire pit and hammocks provided the perfect hangout. Our only concern was navigating the steep gravel hills and driveway in our minivan. But we made it! The homeowner was very helpful with directions. Use Waze or Google Maps NOT Apple Maps directions and utilize vehicles with 4-wheel drive if possible. When initially locating the property - look for sign that says Cabin Fever and try to arrive during daylight hours. Again, totally worth the trip! We can’t wait to book again! Fantastic Find! ##### Sarah W. Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Terry W. 17 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great family getaway We brought our family of eight up to Ellijah to spend Father’s Day weekend celebrating my husband and son. It was a perfect weekend. The cabin is gorgeous and having the river in our backyard was so convenient. Our 6 and 10-year-old grandchildren loved wading in the water, fishing and learning how to skip rocks. They each caught two baby trout, which made the whole trip worthwhile. We enjoyed the campfire in the evenings making s’mores, and even though it was very warm, there was always a breeze off the water and luckily no mosquitoes. The cabin itself was well stocked and clean with plenty of room for eight of us. I will say the ride to the cabin down the mountain side was a little scary but not scary enough that we won’t be back next year. Betsey was a joy to work with and called and made sure we had everything we needed. You will definitely not be disappointed! ##### Terry W.

We haven’t been back to Ellijay in 2 years after our family sold the vacation house on Eagle Mountain. When I found Betsey’s house 2 houses down we knew it was exactly where we wanted to be! The house was wonderfully stocked with all the essentials and our trips to Ingles supermarket are always highlights to our trip! We marked off new places from our bucket list and enjoyed repeat visits to downtown Ellijay and Blue Ridge. We loved taking the train from Blue Ridge to McCaysville GA and Copperhill TN. We walked many miles along the river looking at the changes made in the last 2 years and visiting with some of the year round residents we have met in the past. The weather was gorgeous and I even spent an afternoon floating in my tube! Betsey was a wonderful host and we cannot wait to go back next year!! 5 stars!!! ##### Anita T.

Google maps took us close enough to get to the property. The roads in the resort property are narrow and winding with steep portions. We had no issues getting to the cabin, even pulling a loaded trailer. If you have experience driving on gravel, country roads, it's an easy drive. The host is amazing and promptly communicates. She went the extra mile for our accommodations, due to having severe, chemical allergies. The cabin is clean and well kept. It's a cabin in the woods, so sometimes you have bugs sneak in. We have a lot of deer in Indiana, but this place is packed with them and wild turkeys. We loved our stay and appreciate Betsey's willingness to help with our allergy needs. This is the perfect cabin in the woods. ##### Adam K.

I just specifically booked for fishing and there were none. Hubby caught 2 little "creek chubs". No trout even seen. Maybe just went at the wrong time. Check the stocking schedules. Kids loved the hot tub and splashing in the creek. Wish we would have known the washing machine was broken before bc i packed everyone less bc we had one. The hosts are great though. Very responsive and apologetic for the washing machine. Water pressure downstairs is not great. Recommend bringing firewood. Its like $8 a small bundle at gas stations and walmart. Man, i didnt want to leave the tranquility of this place!!! ##### Christene L.

We wish we could have stayed longer! Beautiful house, comfortable place to stay, great place for the kids, and nice for a family getaway! Loved the fire pit by the water. My granddaughter (5) loves the dress up clothes and accessories. The host was very kind and informative. Directions for our stay were clear. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/32adad61-e7a6-405a-b63d-3928bb5ea097-1760912915598.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/e7c4f614-4a41-4200-9d84-9772b9597808-1760912920408.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/80fabeda-f245-4595-ab93-c0f41abc4882-1760912915601.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Judy B.
