Private 3Acre Mountain Retreat wFireplace. Wildlife, & Stunning Views

Wake up to breathtaking sunrises at Sky Island Lodge, a rustic yet comfortable 3-bedroom cabin perched on 3 private acres in the mountains of Ellijay. Designed for relaxation and connection, the home offers 2 queen beds and 1 twin, plus heating and AC to keep you comfortable year-round.

Cozy up by the stone fireplace, sip your morning coffee on the deck with sweeping views, or stargaze around the fire pit at night. The cabin is fully equipped with everyday comforts, including a bathroom with hair dryer for convenience, while still giving you the feeling of being tucked away in nature.

This is true mountain living: you may spot deer, wild turkeys, or even the occasional bear in the woods nearby. 4x4/AWD is strongly suggested for the rugged gravel road — but the reward is total serenity, sunrise magic, and a chance to unplug in a one-of-a-kind retreat. And for those who don’t want to unplug, we have you covered with high speed Fios, perfect for working remotely.

Just minutes away, you’ll find apple orchards, local wineries, hiking trails, waterfalls, and the charming shops and restaurants of downtown Ellijay and Blue Ridge. Whether you’re tubing down the river, exploring scenic mountain overlooks, antiquing or enjoying seasonal festival like the Ellijay Apple Fest, there’s no shortage of ways to make your stay unforgettable.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned cabin, which features a fireplace and a Smart TV. There's a private patio. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Complimentary wireless internet access is available to keep you connected.
Take in the views from a garden and make use of amenities such as barbecue grills.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

Disliked: Cleanliness
When they advertise that they recommend a 4x4 they aren't kidding. We love off roading and have a Razor at home. But the roads leading up the the cabin are ridiculous and its sooo far back and we were in a Jeep Renegade. We didn’t stay at all, the heat was off and it was 48 degrees in the cabin, 35 outside. Once we found the gas heater on the wall downstairs we realized that was the only one for the entire cabin. The staircase going upstairs is so steep and has no hand rail at all on the right. I do not recommend any children to stay there. We only got refunded part of our money waiting on the rest.
