Rushing Waters | Ellijay, GA

Fall asleep to Mountaintown Creek rushing just outside your window. This is the kind of mountain cabin that actually delivers on the promise. Kids claim the bunk room while adults soak in the hot tub above the creek. A stone wood-burning fireplace anchors the great room, and the wraparound deck puts the North Georgia mountains right in front of you.

Living Area
The main level opens into a generous living area where two oversized leather sectionals face a wood-burning stone fireplace (currently inoperable) and a flat-screen TV. Light pours through doors that lead directly to the covered wraparound deck, where Adirondack chairs and a porch swing face the creek through a canopy of hardwoods.
The loft above the main living space adds a separate seating area with two futons, a coffee table, and honey-toned pine walls that glow in afternoon light—a natural hangout for older kids or a quiet reading perch for adults.

Kitchen & Dining
The full kitchen features knotty-pine cabinetry, granite counters, black appliances including a dishwasher and full-size refrigerator, and enough prep space to actually cook a real dinner. A dining table seats the group comfortably, and the open layout keeps everyone connected whether someone is cooking or the kids are playing cards.

Bedrooms & Bathrooms

The main-level bunk room is lined with reclaimed barnwood walls, twin-over-twin bunk beds on each side, plaid bedding, and a pinecone-motif rug, where kids feel like they have their own cabin within the cabin.

Upstairs, the king bedroom sits beneath a vaulted ceiling with direct deck access, warm pine floors, a rustic log-frame bed, and its own sitting chair.
Both full bathrooms serve the group well, and the upper-level bathroom features a jetted soaking tub for a proper end-of-day unwind.

Outdoor Amenities

The wraparound deck is where this cabin truly shines. Adirondack chairs and a porch swing overlook Mountaintown Creek, creating the perfect place to enjoy morning coffee or unwind after a day of exploring North Georgia. The private hot tub sits on the deck above the creek, so the sound of rushing water becomes part of the experience. Gather around the fire pit in the evening, listen to the creek below, and enjoy the peaceful mountain setting beneath the trees.
