Great little cabin for a couple's getaway

We loved our weekend at Trailside Retreat; it was great for my wife & I, and our dogs! The cabin itself is the perfect size and the location is ideal: easy to get to, close to both Blue Ridge and Ellijay, and having the BMT literally across the stream was a wonderful bonus. Everything we needed was provided, and the cabin is very well organized and appointed. We'll definitely keep it in mind for next time!
