Other Details to Note

Please note, at this cabin due to restrictions in the subdivision, there is a strict NO MOTORCYCLE/NO TRAILER/NO EXCEPTIONS Policy in place. If you bring a motorcycle or Trailer to this location, they may be towed at your expense, or you may be asked to leave the community. We do offer other properties that are motorcycle and trailer friendly so please let us know if you will be bringing either and we will be happy to send you quotes for other options. SOME NOTES ABOUT THE MOUNTAINS: - This is the mountains and cell service may be spotty - There may be some twisty roads - This is in the forests and mountains and you will likely see bugs, mice, or furry critters (including bears!). We do maintain the property with regular pest control, but due to the surroundings, or if doors are left open, or food is left outside the house, this can attract critters. - There are no refunds for storms or power outages. If there is a power outage, there will be no water and potentially no heat. Storms can also make roads impassable, so if a storm is in the forecast during your reservation, come prepared with water and non-perishable food, etc. - PLEASE NOTE: Fall/Winter is ladybug season and these little buggers are attracted to heat, meaning your cabin and every other one out there that is warm! They will swarm to the cabin and you'll probably see them alive/dead on windowsills, in vents, etc. Rest assured that your cabin has regular pest control and is professionally cleaned, including bug removal, before and after your stay. However, these bugs come back right away and unfortunately there is nothing that can be done about them until the season passes. - The cabin has well water, which can sometimes have a minor smell or tint. This is normal. The water is drinkable, but we always recommend filtered water. - Cell phone service is very spotty in the area, so download the maps offline before arriving. Fireplace is typically shut off between March/April and October/November. Note: This is the mountains and WiFi and cell phone service can sometimes be spotty and lose service. If the internet does go out, try resetting the router first. We highly recommend you download maps of the area offline prior to arriving.

We had a great stay in Elijay! The home was as described and we loved being right on the serene river. The home had everything we needed for a peaceful and relaxing stay. The host was very responsive. We look forward to coming back when it’s warmer so we can really enjoy all the surrounding beauty of this home!

This place was beautiful! I didn’t really feel like I was in Georgia and I live 1.5 hours away in Atlanta. From the moment you arrive you feel at home! We are definitely coming back for the spring time to raft on the river you have access to! The host is so kind and the instructions are clear. Words can’t describe how beautiful this place is you just have to book it!

The most beautiful scenery and that rushing water soothes the soul. The cabin is a work of art and the pictures don’t do it justice. Comfortable, relaxing, restful, peaceful and soothing. From the home to the hot tub to the rushing water and the views ! EXCELLENT! Btw, I couldn’t get the hot tub to work. I’m sure it was user error. They diligently communicated with me about it ,sent someone over and got it fixed and made sure I was able to enjoy it. Big thanks !
