Stayed 3 nights in January, 2010. I had a wonderful time. It was so peaceful...so relaxing. All the comforts of home and more! I definitely will be back! Thanks!

Stayed 3 nights over New Years 2009/2010. Happy New Year! We had a blast here, the river was so nice and relaxing. Everything was great, thanks! We went to the Ruby Falls. It's about 1.5 hours from here in Chattanooga, TN, it was beautiful and worth every penny. We went to a local park here (Amicalola) and went all the way to the top of the waterfall and then down. That was also an awesome experience! Hope you get some ideas!!
Response by KZ Cabins: Wow! sounds like you had a great time at the cabin as well as around our north Georgia mountains! We sure hope you come back and explore some more!

Stayed 2 nights in November, 2009. I just had to have a couple of days away from life. This was the perfect place. It was so peaceful to sit by the firepit with a blazing fire and the stream roaring by. The hottub was just what i needed to relax me before bed. This was a very nice stay, all the comforts of home, without all the noise. I will be coming back to stay.
Response by KZ Cabins: We agree wholeheartedly that this is the perfect place to stay, especially if you like rivers, fire pits, hot tubs and comforts. We are so pleased you were able to find relaxation at this incredible river house. We look forward to your return!

Stayed 2 nights in October, 2009. We enjoyed our visit and had a very relaxing weekend. We especially liked the fact that the kitchen was well equipped. The leaves were perfect and the view of the river from the porch was unreal! Thanks of letting us stay!
Response by KZ Cabins: We are really happy you enjoyed your stay and the awesome view! We hope you can come back and stay again soon!

Stayed 3 nights in October, 2009. How relaxing! The scenery is so peaceful. We visited apple houses and picked apples, spent time at the Apple Festival and toured around town. We gathered outside by the firepit and toasted marshmallows. It just doesn't get much better than this past weekend! The hot tub was great and we rested very well. I'd say this was the perfect weekend for relaxing and enjoying quality family time as well as meeting new people in town. The good folks of Ellijay were warm and inviting. I know we will return again. Thanks for a lovely home away from home.
Response by KZ Cabins: Fantastic to hear you had such a wonderful and relaxing time and enjoyed the 'fruits' of the cabin and area. We hope you come back real soon!
