About this cabin rental

Get away from what ails you in our Secluded Lakeside Pine Cabin with 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms on 12 acres on gated private road near the Cohutta Wilderness. No better place to get isolated than in a country cabin in the woods with a pond! Cast a line in our private fishing pond or muddy your fat tires, hikin’ boots or huntin’ coveralls on some of Georgia’s most beautiful mountain land, nearly at our doorstep.

Pond is stocked with bass, bream, catfish and crappie.


Cabin is situated on big, grassy yard beside fishing pond 10 miles from charming downtown Ellijay. Rent our sturdy canoe for a paddle cruise or fishing tour around the pond. Wind up your pitching arm for a game of corn hole...corn bags and boards provided. Watch the deer graze and turkeys peck from the wrap-around porch. Relax by the campfire while your buddies catch a few fish and throw them back. Bring your football, soccer ball or croquet set (?) for a game on the grass; come on back in the house to recover in comfort. Listen to the bullfrogs croon on the pond in the evening.

Home has all wood floors, master and full bathroom on main, one bedroom, parlor, additional room and bath upstairs in the loft. Rock fireplace with gas logs in living room invites warm conversation or quality TV time. Yes, we have Satellite TVs in living room and upstairs parlor with lots of channels. And, although we’re in the backwoods, we have wireless fiber Internet, too!

Propane and charcoal grills on porch outside kitchen door.

All linens provided. Full size washer & dryer. Sleeps 6.

Area amenities: Numerous hiking trails in the Cohutta Mountains and wilderness area lead you to the Conasauga River and Lake Conasauga, waterfalls, and massive “Big Poplar,” the second largest tree in North Georgia. Mountain bike on Forest Service roads or contact a nearby outfitter about gearing you up and getting you out. Take a short drive up to Fort Mountain State Park for gorgeous views of the Georgia mountains from the car or trail and marvel at mysterious rock ruins from another age. Drive into Ellijay to get a pizza or dine at one of the unique local restaurants. Discover history, get nostalgic at local antique shops. Plan your fall visit around the apple harvest and the Georgia Apple Festival, 2nd and 3rd weekends in October. Hunt for deer, turkey, bear, feral hogs in the Cohutta Wildlife Management Area or three other WMAs within close range. Go 4-wheeling on trails in the Conasauga section of the Chattahoochee National Forest. Saddle up your horses for rides in the National Forest or at Fort Mountain State Park.

6 / 10Average·Aug 2025
We were looking for a nice quiet place to rest, relax and fish. The location is nice and quiet and once our initial inquiry was answered, the communication was good. The pond could use more fish but we were able to catch and release. However, there are several things about the house that could make it more pleasurable. 1. The lockbox that houses the key is hard to open2. The lock on the canoe is really difficult and there aren't any seat backs like it shows in the picture.3. The refrigerator definitely needs to be fixed or replaced. It only keeps your food/drinks at a very minimal coolness. I had to throw away several items.4. The shower curtain in the master bath is not attached or secured and just lies on top of the shower door frame.5. The grills are charcoal. Bring your own supplies. There was some charcoal but no lighter fluid.6. There aren't any supplies like aluminum foil, plastic wrap, sandwich baggies, etc.7. There wasn't a hand soap dispenser in the kitchen.8. Be aware of the wooden block that supports the master bedroom bed frame. It can be a real hazard on your toes/foot.9. The living room furniture could definitely be updated.10. There is a musty old smell that goes with the age of the house. Maybe some air fresheners might help.11. The stove takes forever to heat up so I ended up cooking everything on the stovetop.
