Waterfront Lodge - Sleeps 22! Pet friendly. Secluded. Entirely level property !

This Cabin is conveniently located just minutes (4 miles) from downtown Ellijay and the Apple Festival, yet it feels like it’s miles from civilization. It is a 4+ bedroom, 3 ½ bathroom cabin in the woods, just steps away from a beautiful trophy trout stream that can be heard throughout the property and house. Native Americans once thrived in this area and considered the rivers sacred.

The Master-on-main has a brand new pillow-top king sized mattress, a sitting area with a flat screen TV, and a large bathroom with separate shower and Jacuzzi tub for two. It opens up to both the front stone patio and back deck overlooking the river through French doors.

A second bedroom on the lower level features a queen sized bed with an organic cotton high-end Sealy pillow-top mattress. There is a great view of the river and this room has it's own separate patio area. The full bathroom with shower/bathtub combo is adjacent.

Upstairs is a cute loft that overlooks the dining room and fireplace. There is a computer nook with desk and a king sized mattress that can sleep one or two. Perfect for reading a book or taking a nap.

A third bedroom upstairs overlooks the river and has a brand new queen sized bed. The private outdoor deck accessible through sliding glass doors is a great place to enjoy morning coffee. The full bathroom with shower is adjacent.

The fourth bedroom is a very large suite that features a private half-bath and a separate deck overlooking the front of the property. There are three full sized bunk beds plus two additional twin sized beds that each have pull-out twin sized trundle beds. There is a sitting area as well. This room can sleep 7-10 people. Great room for all the kids!

All linens and towels are clean and white.

The Kitchen has stainless appliances, including new stainless steel Samsung refrigerator, four-top gas range, double oven, and a dishwasher. There is a microwave, a brand new Keurig coffee maker, Cuisinart coffee maker with coffee pot, a toaster, a griddle, and many other appliances/devices. The kitchen has recently been remodeled with granite countertops with a bar that can seat up to 4 people on barstools.

There is a 10+ person dining table in the dining room, plus up to 4 at the inside kitchen bar, plus a second table in the living room that can seat 2-4. The live-edge bar (seats13+) overlooking the water on the covered porch next to the XL360 grill is a huge hit for everyone and all meals! Plenty of seating for everybody.

This house can easily accommodate large parties or families. It would be perfect for large groups or retreats. There is plenty of room for parking as well.

While this cabin does not meet the ADA handicapped standards and regulations, it is very handicapped friendly. The main living areas are one level without stairs. The level lot, even though it is surrounded by mountains, is very level and has river access without stairs. Please call with any questions regarding special needs.

It was a good place for a family reunion and everyone enjoyed themselves.

Two bedrooms did not have TVs and we ran out of propane in the grill. Other than that it was an enjoyable day for everyone.

Family vacation

Home was neat and clean. Had fun catching fish and playing in the stream and at the waters edge. Ended our days of fun at the fire pit with s’mores. Had a great evening at the Ellijay American Legion Post. Also, enjoyed playing pickle ball at the rec area in Ellijay.

Great property close to the creek

We really enjoyed the location and property. We were sad to learn that the hot tub is no longer there. But the kids had plenty of fun in the creek. Great place for a family or even a family and friends because the cabin sleeps so many!

Amazing Retreat

We had a group of 19 men and we were blown away by having the stream right out the back door, with the decks bar overlooking the water and the firepit along the waters edge! the kitchen had everything and having the bunk room allowed us to house so many! The owner was sooo helpful and provided us with everything we need and always promptly responded when we reached out! We couldn't recommend this place more! 😊❤️

Great vacation for water lovers

We have vacationed in the blue ridge area every summer for the last 14 years but this was our first rental in Ellijay. We loved the cabin and especially the easy access to the river. We spent a lot of time sitting in the water, fishing (didn’t catch much) and tubing. Enjoyed the fire pit at night. Plenty of room for relaxing, eating and sleeping for our large party. Enjoyed shopping downtown and the local wineries. We had friends rent the cabin next door which was perfect.

We had a wonderful time while visiting Ellijjay for a week! The property was just what we needed. We loved fishing, tubing and family firepit time right out back! Ashleigh was a wonderful host and promptly attentive to any need we had or a suggestion on where to go and what to do! We look forward to coming back next year!

Ellijay Vacation

House and property are in a great location - ample parking, close to town and restaurants. Listing should be updated to not include a spa as an amenity. A note of caution about reserving kayaks - even with a confirmation of availability, check again before arrival. Also, the unsubstantiated accusation of early arrival will be addressed with VRBO.

We had a wonderful stay, house was perfect for our family which included 4 kids (ages 1,2,3 and 4). Ashleigh was very sweet and attentive to our needs. The river in the back was the highlight of our trip and offered a lot of options for the kids to use theirs imaginations while the parents sat down and relaxed for a while. Thank you Ashleigh!

Family Gathering

We enjoyed sharing Thanksgiving with our family at the cabin. It was large enough for us to gather safely. Because of covid, we did not visit the winery, or other site seeing attractions in the area. We did enjoy sitting around the fire pit by the river, playing games in front of the fireplace, watching movies and sipping hot drinks on the back porch. Short hikes in the area and the hot tub were also popular. It was a great week and we all appreciated Ashleigh's warm hospitality.

Wonderful

We had a great experience at Mountain Creek lodge. It was exactly as described and pictured and Ashley was very communicative and helpful. We rented the house for my mother’s 80th birthday and had 12 family members ranging from 3 to 86. Every member of the family enjoyed the river and there was plenty of room in the house. We especially loved the huge round griddle grill and used it everyday. Ashley gave us tons of extra information about fun things to do and good fishing locations. The fire pit was terrific and the kayaks were well used. We would definitely stay again.

Fun Family Vacation

We were wanting to visit a remote area in these uncertain times and not have to leave unless we wanted to or needed more supplies. That’s exactly what you get here at Ms. Ashleigh’s place. Private setting, large home, right on the river! Kids would float down a ways on their tubes and walk back to the cabin. Us adults tied our tubes off for hours of lazy sitting in the cool water and warm sunshine! We even experienced some mechanical system issues and Ms. Ashleigh did everything in her power to respond and resolve right away. What a great trip and wonderful family time together!

Labor Day Getaway

Amazing family get together. We were a party of 10 plus some doggies. The location and house setting is beautiful. I have never been at such a well supplied vacation home. From a well stocked kitchen, games, blankets, dog bowls, the fire pit set up etc. So warm and welcoming we felt like we were visiting someones home. Listening to the creek right outside the door was so relaxing. We spent most our time outside fishing, kayaking, playing in the creek and cooking on the grills. Game nights were fun at the large table to seat all of us while others enjoyed the large screen TV. We were able to enjoy local outings to the Farmers Market, Apple Orchard and a Winery. The only thing I would be aware of is the road turns into gravel and can be tricky in a few spots if you have a little car or sports car. Other than that this place is a treasure!

Heaven on Earth!!

As a busy executive this cabin and riverfront provide the perfect playground for getting away. Everything was perfect upon our arrival. The cabin is exactly as the pictures describe. It is a quaint, clean, spacious, and quiet cabin that allows plenty of serenity for large groups of people. The river is literally in the backyard. You don't have to hike up and down steep steps as it is easily accessible for anyone who desires Kayaking, fishing, or floating on tubes - it is your own private playground. After a day of playing on the river or one of the nearby lakes we relaxed at the outdoor fire pit and hot tub. The enormous outdoor grill allowed us to cook for a large group. We also ventured to downtown Ellijay for dinner one night. We would definitely recommend The Roof restaurant, the food, service, and view were amazing. This was the perfect vacation retreat for us. Also, if you do need to sneak in a little work, the WIFI is really strong! Thank you for sharing your amazing cabin,

Mountain Paradise on the water

Amazing cabin on Mountaintown Creek. The experience here was second to none! The cabin is huge, yet cozy and inviting. As clean and well-stocked as any cabin we have ever stayed in. The kitchen has anything you need to prepare a meal for two or twenty. The mattresses, pillows and linens were that of a five star hotel. Lots of private space upstairs for the kiddos, such a great floor plan at this cabin. Large dining room table, as well as a stunning live edge bar on the deck, which overlooks the creek. Amazing fire pit next to the water, which was stocked with firewood and log starter! This cabin is situated on a large level lot, making it easy to meander around and enjoy the beautiful setting, play outdoor games etc. We caught a couple of nice trout, had multiple cookouts on the large grill, told stories by the fire, kayaked (rented the ones on site) tubed, enjoyed some fine dining at locally owned restaurants, visited an apple orchard/farmers market and took a short drive to beautiful Carters Lake. We truly made a lot of special memories here. I have to mention the welcome basket. It was absolutely well thought out and prepared especially for our family. The host (Ashley) was very respectful, responsive to our questions and has the southern hospitality that makes a great trip just a little bit better! We will be back soon!

Great cabin on the river

Ashleigh was great! So helpful and communicative. We had 6 adults and 9 kids and there was more than enough space for all of us. We spend most of our time by the fire pit and the river, but loved the whole property. The kids loved the hot tub and us guys loved the grill! The beds were comfy, and the kitchen and dining was just big enough to comfortably allow us to have a few nights of dinners in. Definitely recommend!
