4 happy campers aka doggone good guests!
Our smart LG kitchen might have an octagon shape, but that’s never stopped us from finding the perfect spot for a dog feeding station (or two)! And honestly — that no-spill water bowl? Best invention since sliced bread.
Upon entering, you see a cozy living area furnished with comfortable seating. The space is anchored by a 65-inch Roku Smart TV, complete with complimentary YouTube TV,T two single leather reclining chairs, noted for being "super comfy to take a nap".
Small handmade waterfall to the right, so many birds, beavers, and fair winds soothing you.
4 oversized Adirondack chairs in black, very roomy and super comfy to enjoy the fire pit at the river level.

We had such a relaxing and peaceful stay at the cabin. Our 10 month old Aussie, Miss Momo, had a blast playing with all of the toys, running in the yard, and resting in the window sill overlooking the river. The infrared sauna and steam shower were both awesome! Andrea thought of everything we could need for ourselves or doggies. Nice selection of teas and coffees in the mornings, plenty of different size dog bowls, lots of pet blankets to protect the furniture. When we first arrived, we noticed the main floor windows didn’t have curtains (other than in the main bedroom), which as city dwellers, was a bit of a surprise. However, we quickly got over it, and never felt uncomfortable throughout our stay. You will very rarely see neighbors, and I never saw anyone else at nighttime! The cabin was easy to locate, and much easier to get to from the main road than other cabins we’ve stayed in in the area. It was also super clean, which we always appreciate. We will definitely be back! Thank you Andrea!!

A rare gem that lets the whole family - pups included :) - truly relax together. The property is clean, thoughtfully stocked, and full of little touches that show real care for dog owners. The Ellijay and Blue Ridge areas offer plenty of beautiful trails and wineries, many of which are both dog- and kid-friendly. Highly recommended for a comfortable, family-friendly getaway.

Exactly as posted plus lots of very nice details. Beautiful property. Private, right on the river. Our dogs had a ball!

What an incredible experience! Anyone reading this can probably relate but we LOVE our pups, they are our heart and soul, second only to our own children and grandchildren who all have lives of their own. We set out to find a place for our pups to run and let loose as they are two large dogs, one over 70 lbs, the other over 65 lbs. This was the place. Shaded, wooded, secluded, yet a short drive from town. Beautiful river cascading by partially over rock, yet with a deep pool directly behind the house. Certainly, swimmable for a folks a bit younger and surer footed. The house was nothing short of spectacular, and the care and touches inside and amenities provided could only be done by a lover of dogs themselves. It lacked for nothing, and I mean nothing. Bring a toothbrush and a change of undies and you're in. Steam shower and comfortable furnishings on the main floor, with a beautiful deck overlooking said river (ate breakfast out there more than once, with fresh eggs from the neighbor down the street selling them). Very nice BBQ ready for steaks or chicken or ??. Sauna and exercise equipment on the bottom floor, and beautifully laid out loft as another bedroom living area above the main floor. Everything TOP NOTCH. I cannot tell you enough about what a wonderful experience this made. The host Andrea was pronominal to deal with. Answered every text, every question, very gracious. As I stated in the title, and a mistake I won't make again... we had only 5 days. Too little time!
