My family really enjoyed our stay at this beautiful cabin. The property was very convenient to downtown Ellijay, tubing, hiking, and dining. My kids loved the setup with the upstairs bedroom, and the game room was a hit! They also enjoyed fishing in the pond. Our group of 6 had plenty of room to spread out. The cabin had a nice selection of books and games. It was very comfortable and super clean!

We definitely had a week of fun in Ellijay and a large portion of that fun was certainly from our cozy stay! There was plenty to do at the cabin itself (including the foosball, air hockey, and pool tables that are displayed in the photos). Our kids enjoyed catching and releasing the tiny frogs they found on the property and the deer that came to visit us nightly! The kitchen was well-stocked and the beds were comfortable. Everyone slept well! The only disappointment in our stay was that there were no bunk beds in the upstairs bedroom, which was implied in one of the photo captions. The middle story deck provides a whimsical, treehouse feel and made the perfect setting for morning coffee. The driveway is not for the faint of heart! It's a steep descent, but worth the journey.

We had a wonderful time at Rachel's cabin. She text me several days ahead to see if I had any questions, which I loved because I'm a planner. If you aren't used to driving down inclines this may be a little tricky for you as the cabin is on a steep slope down. (I made my husband drive the whole time) We had our kids with us and they LOVED all the games and having their own little area to play and the whole top floor with bunk beds just to themselves. They also LOVED having a lake in the backyard. The path down to the lake is a little steep and slippery, but they thought that was a fun challenge! The cabin was close to a ton of orchards (Hillcrest was soo fun!) and close to downtown Elijay and Walmart. We loved staying here and would definitely recommend, especially to people with kids!
