About this cabin rental

We are a licensed host in Gilmer County #001182
This is a very private cabin on a beautiful large 3.5-acre lot. It is in a small community of larger plot mini farms along a secluded section of Stover Creek. This rustic and well-maintained chink log cabin is in its own valley and neighbors are out of view, even in winter months. The large, screened porch, with a luxurious hot tub, faces the woods. The relaxing sounds of nature and rushing water will wash away the worries of city life.
Two king-sized bedrooms, large loft and sofa beds provide sleeping for up to 6 adults comfortably. Two large bathrooms and a washer and dryer provide facilities for all guests’ cleaning needs. The kitchen is well appointed, including a large refrigerator, a dishwasher and a full-size gas range and stove.
There is super-fast fiber Internet, phone service through ETC, large smart TVs in the bedrooms and living room, and central heat and air. The atmosphere from a real wood burning stone fireplace, with a gas starter, makes it feel like camping without 'roughing it.' Firewood is provided.
This wonderful retreat is in the Blue Ridge Wildlife Management Area of the Chattahoochee National Forest but is still only an hour and a half drive from Atlanta.
There are lots of fun things to do in this area. Hiking abounds: the Benton MacKaye and the Appalachian Trails heads are about 12 miles away on Springer Mountain, and there is numerous hiking trails close by that lead to several waterfalls, a swinging bridge, and spectacular mountain views. Fishing opportunities in the numerous trout streams and in area mountain lakes are plentiful and cater to all skill levels. The kayaking and tubing opportunities on the Cartecay river and Toccoa river are very close by, and the shuttle services are inexpensive and easy to navigate. More challenging guided white-water rafting is a short drive away, as well. Mountain bike trails and horseback riding are also easy to locate and enjoy.
Beautiful downtown Ellijay is about 15 miles away. Ellijay has numerous antique shops and art galleries and small eateries. Ellijay is host to an apple festival in October, while the numerous orchards are open all year long and have tours, some offer hayrides and petting areas for the kids. The city of Blue Ridge is about 25 miles from this cabin. Blue Ridge offers old-fashioned train rides along the Toccoa River and plenty of shops, restaurants and bars to enjoy as well. The entire area is rich with history and southern culture and charm.
The mountains of northwest Georgia are not overly touristy or trashy. The locals have character are pleasant and eager to please visitors. Simply driving through this naturally beautiful area is a scenic adventure. Come see for yourself, and I’m sure you’ll have a difficult time keeping this place a secret!

My wife and I have stayed at "Just a Step Away" several times, and it is always a wonderful experience. The cabin is cozy without being too small. The hot tub is a wonderful amenity, as is the wood-burning fireplace. We also love the gas stove/range in the kitchen. The furnishings are comfortable. We also love the seclusion.This year we had a concern about the hot tub (Eric replaced the old one this year). I posted a note in the VRBO app and Eric got right back to me, explained what was happening, and allayed our concerns.Eric was also concerned about us coming up this year, given the inclement winter weather we expected this past weekend. We assured him we were coming, and he explained what we needed to do in the event of a power outage, given the home is on a well and if there were no power, there would be no water. We had no issues with the power despite two days of extreme cold and frozen precipitation.We had a wonderful time and will definitely be back next year.

Cabin was very spacious with lots of amenities. Road to the cabin was a little rough. Pretty far from the town. But we enjoyed our stay.

We really enjoyed the remoteness of this cabin and all the amenities, especially the hot tub. The kitchen was fully equipped and even had some basic food staples available if needed. Excellent family weekend!!!
