This cabin was exactly what we were looking for! It was secluded and private, and we only heard a couple of cars on the road below the cabin the entire week. The trade-off is that it takes a while to drive back to town, but we were happy to take the extra time because of how nice the cabin and the location are.
We saw a few deer and other wildlife in the area but unfortunately did not see any bears - maybe next time.
We have vacationed in Blairsville for about 25 years, but have never stayed in Ellijay. It is definitely a very nice area, but we had mostly just driven through to get where we were going.
We took this trip with our adult daughter, and were very comfortable (the window AC units had a little difficulty keeping up, but no complaints other than that). Our daughter was happy to figure out the bigfoot pictured in the listing was from Expedition Bigfoot, and it wasn't actually in the cabin!
The kitchen had everything we needed, and the gas grill worked great. The cabin isn't huge, but we found it to be more spacious than the pictures made it look. The upstairs is just the two bedrooms (each with its own outdoor deck), and there was plenty of space in both. A curtain divides the two rooms. The first bedroom at the top of the spiral staircase has a sitting area.
FYI, There are several exterior security cameras around the property that were not mentioned in the listing.
The next time we head to the mountains, this is the cabin we will be staying in!
