My wife and I had a terrific stay at this beautiful Ellijay mountain cabin! The accommodations were excellent and the scenery to die for. I've never seen so many deer before! We enjoyed some great food in town and sipped some nice wine at a nearby winery. After that "hard work," a nice dip in the hot tub was wonderful! We look forward to returning again soon!
My family really enjoyed our recent stay at Bird House. It was everything we were looking for in a family getaway. The house is very clean. It's evident right away that the owners have taken great care to cater to those seeking a break from their daily routine. The house was great, nice design, spacious, comfortable beds. We enjoyed the kitchen and ate most meals in-house. We used all the amenities. The kids played hours of ping-pong and air hockey. My wife relaxed with a glass of wine and finished her book. A late afternoon family gathering in the hottub was the ideal way to ease into the evening. There is much to do in the area. We spent hours at Mercier Farms. The next day we ventured to a local winery. We took some beautiful family photos with the mountains in the background. The last night we made smores by the firepit. The next morning "Bambi" and her family were roaming through the yard. The kids were so excited. We enjoyed our visit very much. In fact, we are hoping to return in February. Thank you Bird House.
We recently stayed here. Our experience couldn’t have been better. It’s clean and spacious, it has been remodeled recently. The kitchen has everything you need, and everything works well! The entertainment room has a ping pong and air hockey table. Now, for the outside. There are deer everywhere. A fire pit, equipped with s’mores,I might add. We loved the hot tub. Overall, this is a great resort, and I will definitely stay here again.
Oven needs to be trashed. Everything was subpar. There was nothing special about the property. I feel it was over priced and not up to higher standards. I will not be returning.....

Hi Craig, we’re sorry to hear that this wasn’t the property for you and your family. The owner has a comment to share: I’m surprised that you didn’t enjoy the many resort amenities, nature, and hot tub, especially since you are the first person to stay since it was remodeled. Most of the fixtures and other things are new and everything functions well and is clean. The price was determined by an algorithm that takes into account the holiday weekend, demand (which is the highest in history), amenities, size, location, etc., so I apologize if you weren’t prepared by looking at the photos that were taken just prior to your stay. Happy travels to you in the future.
