"This is a very nice cabin and very equipped. It was very clean on the inside and had all sort of items one might forget e.g phone chargers. The exterior was a little dirty with spider webs and you need an SUV 4x4 to be able to drive the road to the cabin. It is a little bit of a hassle but all in all, I would definitely recommend it. We enjoyed our stay very much and the fire pit next to the river was very relaxing. "

"The hotel was clean, comfortable and quiet. Coffee in the room was a plus. Check-in was a minus. They wouldn't let us in the office; we had to stay outside in the 90-degree heat WITH their office AC pumping MORE hot, humid air onto us. The office window is plastered with rules (I'm a man of rules, I didn't mind it too much, but, it was a little off-putting) about all of the things you must and must not do in order to not lose your deposit. I was warned that if I slept in both of the Queen beds I would be charged more. That was unnecessary. I would stay here again. OH! The 3% CREDIT CARD PENALTY was off-putting. That might keep me from staying again. As a businessman myself, I KNOW they're making money on that 3% charge."

"We wanted to totally get away from people for 6 days and just enjoy eachother. We work a lot and you sometimes forget to take TIME to just be. This home was one of the best places we have ever stayed. We did go to Ellijay one day and went to the Roof Restaurant & shops… other than that we stayed put! We shopped for groceries before we arrived and so we were set. Matthew has not forgotten one thing. If you need or want it he has thought of it. We truly loved the layout, beauty and uniqueness of the home. The bed was absolutely the coolest thing and a neat comfortable way to sleep. Every single thing about this house made you feel at home. Looking out the windows seeing the beautiful mountain never got old. And it’s sooooo quiet. Thank you Matthew… if you ever want to sell this home look me up. Cynthia & Faith"
