Nestled in the serene heart of the Rich Mountains, this secluded house on 6 acres is the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The cabin itself is an ideal blend of rustic charm and modern comfort. High ceilings, large windows, and a stone fireplace create a cozy yet spacious feel, while the full kitchen, comfortable furnishings, and thoughtful touches make it feel like a home away from home. Whether you're curling up with a good book, cooking a meal, or simply enjoying the view from the wrap-around porch, the space encourages relaxation and reconnection. The true beauty of this cabin lies in its seclusion. The only sounds you hear are the gentle rustling of leaves, the chirping of birds, and the occasional distant call of wildlife. It's an ideal setting for those looking to unplug, unwind, and embrace nature. For outdoor enthusiasts, the cabin is a gateway to hiking, exploring, and enjoying the Rich Mountain landscape. Ellijay itself is known for its apple orchards and it’s just a short drive away if you want to venture out for a day. Overall, this cabin is the ultimate retreat for anyone seeking peace, solitude, and natural beauty.
A drive down the road takes you to Springer Mountain where the beginning of the famous Appalachian Trail starts or the Benton MacKaye Trail.

Please note horses are rotated to other pastures throughout the year and are not guaranteed to be there during your stay.

Mountain vacation

This was a very nice house in a secluded area. Definitely a drive to get to most anywhere. All in all a great week to stay up in the mountains, especially coming from the flatlands of Florida.

Very nice place. Very clean. Gravel road and driveway weren’t bad…and we were in a car with very little ground clearance. Nice to know that some dog’s nasty butt wasn’t sitting on the couch the day before.

Beautiful and peaceful location

This cabin stay was just what we needed. The mountain views were beautiful and it was so quiet and peaceful. The water heater had a minor issue and the host responded immediately and had it repaired right away. We would definitely stay here again.

Peaceful getaway

Beautiful house with a gorgeous view. Very clean & neat. Quiet location. I would just suggest a couple of small cookie sheets and blinds on the side porch to come a third of the way down to enjoy the afternoon view without being blinded by the sun. We suggest taking food with you to prepare since it is quite a drive to go eat out. But we love the place.

Pre Thanksgiving trip

Loved the property and the surrounding area! Molly was incredibly helpful with her directions to reach the cabin. Check in and check out was very easy, and the property itself was easy to keep clean. The views are great! I wish I would have booked it for longer! Will definitely be back.

We stayed here for 4 nights and it was great. Home was clean and there are some great views off of the back porch. If you like quiet solitude, this is the place. The gravel/dirt road coming in for 2 miles can be rough in spots, so take it slow especially in a vehicle with little ground clearance. A handy tip from me is save the house address in Google Maps in case you leave then come back after dark. When you turn onto the road coming back after dark leave your phone screen on to follow the blue line back to the house address. It's dark out there at night and very easy to make a wrong turn.

Weekend get away

The house is very well furnished with good taste and quality. The view is excellent. All positive. Did not build a fire with the firewood I brought because I was feeling lazy to clean up the ashes. Very responsive host. Thank you Molly for this excellent experience.

Beautiful, comfy home. Great views

Our first time to the area and the home was beautiful and comfy! Very relaxing and perfect for a long weekend. The views were great, despite the weather. Check-in was easy and Molly responded quickly to a couple of questions. The only thing I wish we had known beforehand is that the dirt/gravel road up to the home was quite treacherous. A truck or 4wd would be your best bet. Overall, I would definitely recommend this home!

Totally fine

Just not sure about the accuracy of the listing title? Hike out the door? Closest trails were 20-30 min drives. Very clean as advertised, but felt scattered and lots of sticky notes with rules to follow sucked a little bit of the fun out of the “romantic” aspect. Fine for the price point.

Great Escape!

Everything as advertized and more. The little things that you really don't think of were right there. We grilled a bit and when we ran out of the propane, there was another canister ready to be used without having to contact anyone. Notes to let you know anything you need. For us it was a time to decompress. The porch is a great place for morning breakfast and coffee. Many thanks for everything.

Just what was needed

Everything was great. Very clean, well equipped and owner was quickly responsive.Just one thing was about tv streaming (not everybody has streaming channels or is techie enough to figure things out - that’s me!). Maybe have a regular system back up?
From the porch, so relaxing!

I hesitate to say anything because I want to return allll the time and I don’t want anyone else to know. This was the secluded, cozy, clean dream I didn’t know I needed. Wish it was longer and I will be back. This house had what we needed and then some. The epitome of mountain getaway
