Beautiful all season's view of the Blue Ridge Mountains.

10/10 Excellent
"This was our third visit to the cabin. We love our stays there which are quiet and peaceful. The cabin has everything you could need in a beautiful setting. Julie goes out of her way to make sure we feel welcome and are well cared for. We made easy day trips to Helen, to Ellijay, to Blairsville, and to Murphy, North Carolina. Downtown Blue Ridge is one of our favorites as well. Plenty to do nearby as well as comfy porches at the cabin for lazy days."
