Hands down one of our best stays yet. The place was immaculate and all of the described amenities were perfect and easily useable (hot tub/sauna etc). They thought of everything including robes and slippers for enjoying the mentioned amenities. Cabin location was excellent for days spent between downtown Elijay, Blue Ridge and the local wineries. Katie and Martin even provided welcome snacks and a bottle of wine! Highly recommend for a couples getaway!

We had a great stay in October. The place was easy to find and it was an easy drive there (no 4 wheel drive required). The house looked just like the pictures. We loved the spa amenities. Inside, AC worked great, kitchen was fully stocked (including spices), plentiful board games, nice yoga mats, and it was very clean. We’d definitely stay again.

We had an amazing time at Katie and Martin’s place. My boyfriend and I went for a weekend get away and the place did not disappoint. We loved all the amenities and still being close to all that downtown Blue Ridge has to offer

Just stop browsing and book this beautiful retreat now! We travel frequently and this was definitely one of the best Airbnbs we have booked. the pictures truly do not do it justice. The private terrace with the sauna overlooking the woods, built in hot tub and cold plunge (do it!) were absolutely amazing. I felt so spoiled using these features every single day. Spa robes and slippers were a great touch. The place is spotless and seriously so clean it felt like we were the first people to ever stay there. The beds were super comfortable. The location is convenient to both Ellijay and Blue Ridge. We did not want to leave this special place and would definitely love to come back!

Our stay here was amazing! Katie and Martin accommodated us with an early check in, which was very much appreciated. The cabin was perfect, the decor, the beds, and it was stocked with everything you need. Sauna and cold plunge was a great experience. We took the kayak and paddle board out on the lake which was very peaceful. Loved every minute of it! Would love to come stay again

My wife and I went here for our anniversary. Katie and Martin’s place is amazing! They have thought of everything. Brand new top tier appliances, fresh robes and slippers, amazing guidebook to the property and the surrounding areas. The spa amenities were amazing! The kayak and paddle board were so fun on the lake. We even arrived to snacks and wine! Couldn’t recommend this place enough fora couples trip. Even for four people it would be a great time. Don’t hesitate!!!!
