We travelled from Tampa by car and spent 10 days at this lovely retreat in June. The cabin is spotless, well appointed, and the view will take your breath away.
We spent most of our time relaxing and watching the evening mist creep in through the mountain passes. We also visited nearby Amicalola Falls and discovered the many nearby wineries. The hot tub and downstairs grill provided a great end to the day. Did I mention the wineries?
The driving instructions given to us take you through Ellijay to the rear gate of Georgian Highlands where the cabin is located. This is a long and winding road so be sure to print a map before you leave home. Also be sure to stop for groceries (Ingles) in Ellijay as there will be no quick trips to the store for things you forgot. There is also a front gate which will give you faster access to the towns of Talking Rock and Jasper where you will find lots of good restaurants and another Ingles.
Did I mention the wineries? Fainting Goat Winery is located just 1/2 mile from the front gate on the highway. The view from the lawn is delightful as is the wine. And yes, they have goats there.
And then there was the day the local bear wandered through the yard. She(?) didn't appear to be that interested in us as we watched from the main floor deck and we got lots a great pictures.
The management company was immediately responsive to all of our questions and the unattended check-in was a breeze. Half way through our stay, Beth, from the management company stopped by to check up on us and see if we needed refills for soap, paper towels, or laundry detergent. She has everything in the back of her car and the visit was greatly appreciated.
We will definitely return to this cabin in the future.
