Forest Cabins of Ellijay is set on 6 acres of pristine old-growth forest of hardwoods and huge white pines. The acreage is bordered by about 900 feet of Clear Creek. Clear Creek is about 20 feet wide . And you have a lovely view of the rushing trout stream. Sit on the covered porch and listen to the pileated woodpeckers, babbling stream, crickets, frogs and lake loons. Most visitors will spot deer taking advantage of the creek or a blue heron fishing for supper.

When you’re ready to stretch your legs, lace up your hiking boots for a trek along the Tumbling Waters Trail, an easy 1-mile out-and-back hike that meanders through the forest in the Ridgeway Recreation Area at Carters Lake and across a wooden bridge to a series of waterfalls on Tails Creek. More adventurous souls may want to explore the Cohutta Wilderness Area, which boasts 13 trails totaling more than 87 miles of remote, often rugged hiking through the Cohutta Mountains, Georgia’s portion of the Smoky Mountain range.


Designate Go Wine! Tours as your transportation for the day, or plan your own self-guided tour, starting with an afternoon at Ellijay River Vineyards. Here, you can sample wine in a small barn on-site, but the real appeal is buying a bottle to enjoy at the river bend, where Adirondack chairs, swings and a fire pit make for a picturesque picnic spot. For a more traditional tasting room experience, kick back with killer mountain views at Ott Farms & Vineyard, or cozy up by the roaring fire at Cartecay Vineyards, both of which offer live entertainment, light bites and often food trucks on the weekends.


Gaze at the millions of sparkling stars. Forget your work-a-day world and relax in the comfort of your little piece of heaven nestled in the Appalachian Mountains. Lounging in your wooden swing on the porch sipping your morning coffee to the tune of Cardinals, titmice, nuthatch, and other songbirds. The tree frogs are cacophonous.

After your morning adventures, head back to River Street Tavern for a burger made with local beef from nearby Bear Creek Cattle Co. and a cold craft beer. Next, hop over to MooBears Ice Cream for a sweet hand-dipped treat….Some of our favorite places.
