About this apartment rental

Laughing Hippo is the classic mountain cabin named after a beloved Grandfather. This two bedroom one bath beauty is located high on a mountain in the Cherry Log community half way between Ellijay and Blue Ridge. Its tranquil setting is just what you need to wind down from your hectic daily schedule. All of the living area is located on one level and there are only four easy steps to get in. There are two queen bedrooms and one full bath with a tub/shower combo. The living room is clean and comfortable with seating for four facing the wood burning fireplace and a flat screen TV/DVD with cable programming and WIFI. The kitchen has everything you need to keep the family happy and seating for four as well. The laundry is also located on this level. Kick back on the screened in porch and watch nature pass by in the wooded valley below. Downstairs on the covered patio you will find a picnic table, swing, gas grill with a spare tank, and a wood burning stove. There is even a double size hammock and another flat screen TV waiting for you and a dart board too. Feeling ambitious, the Benton Mackaye hiking trail passes only a couple hundred yards away. Please respect our guests with allergies, sorry no pets at Laughing Hippo.
With easy access to highway 515 it is a breeze to get here, no 4WD needed. Perfectly located for day trips to Blue Ridge and north into Tennessee and the Ocoee River, Ellijay, Carters Lake, Amicalola Falls and the wineries of Gilmer County and Dahlonega, there is even an old time drive-in movie theater close by.

Our first "trip" together & it was MORE than we hoped for! We were charmed with this cabin & location! We plan on coming back to this exact cabin again one day soon. Completely satisfied. I actually miss it
6 / 10Average·Nov 2024
It was a good stay but property does not seem to be monitored closely but only minor things like bath clothes and detergents for dishes and clothing. TV and furniture need updating. Outside sitting area was excellent. Nice couple get away for two or three nights
