Beautiful home, great location
This was the perfect home for our north Georgia vacation! The location was easily accessible, in a quiet area and close to everything we needed. The home had everything we needed and more, and was very clean. We felt right at home! We also appreciated the large deck and gated outdoor area.

Truly Almost Heaven
I found this home through a VRBO recommendation and it was better than I thought it would be! The home is beautiful and very well decorated in a barn style with all the amenities. The property is located on Mountaintown Creek and the outdoor spaces lend themselves to sitting creek side enjoying nature. The city of Ellijay was very enjoyable with a lot of shops, antique hunting, and great restaurants. We had a great time and would definitely visit again!

This property was very clean and had everything needed for a comfortable stay. The rural neighborhood was very safe and friendly. And the deer were so enjoyable to watch as they criss-crossed the surround area. Thanks for a lovely time.

Great creekside cabin in quiet neighborhood
The cabin appears to have been renovated and an absolutely superb job was done. I'm jealous. Cabin was super clean and the hosts made sure to make visitors comfortable with quality furnishings and linen. Snacks on the kitchen island were a great touch as well. Though I didn't land any trout, the quality and location of the cabin make it worth a repeat visit.

"Almost Heaven" is truly Heaven!
This was our 2nd time staying at Almost Heaven. The home is amazing, clean, comfortable, cozy! The back deck and yard are a dream! Sitting by the creek and listening to the water, watching the birds and even a herd of deer go by are amazing! We couldn't has asked for a more relaxing syay!

Long Weekend Escape
Beautiful home!! I have stayed in many VRBO rentals, and this is by far the cleanest rental, and most well stocked kitchen. Beautifully decorated, but done in a way, that makes you feel comfy and welcome. Sitting on the deck, which sits right at creek side, enjoying your morning coffee or evening glass of wine, is “almost heaven”.

Definitely (almost) Heaven
We were greeted with the sounds of the water splashing over rocks and birds singing in the trees overhead as soon as we stepped out of the car. I could feel my body and mind totally relax as we walked inside to the cutest, cleanest, most inviting cabin I've ever rented! Slept like a baby and can hardly wait to return!

Actually the best rental home we have ever stayed in!
This property is stunning sitting directly on a rushing creek with outdoor seating, firepit, grills, horsehoes and fenced in area for the dogs. The house in absolutely beautiful and tastefully decorated leaving no detail behind. Gorgeous blankets, towels, bedding, snacks, water, coffee, and even a full treat jar for the puppies. The home was immaculate unlike any we have ever stayed in. We will make sure we can stay at Almost Heaven anytime we are visiting Elijay!

Fabulous House
We loved everything about our stay! The house was beautifully decorated and was comfortable. It had everything that we needed plus more. We thoroughly enjoyed sitting on the deck listening to Mountaintown Creek. So peaceful and relaxing. Especially nice having the fenced in area for our small dogs to roam about. Stacey was great with assisting us questions. Can't wait to come back here again!

Recommend!
This property was great! Everything was clean and the pics were accurate. The owner was great to work with. We, unfortunately, did not see but 1 trout on our trip but we do know there are trout in the stream. The property is well stocked and not far from the downtown area of Ellijay which is a lovely area! Highly recommend this property!

Sights and Sounds of Heaven
From the moment we stepped out of the car, the sound of the water rushing over the rocks welcomed us! It was difficult to go inside, but wow - what a sight the cabin is! It is decorated like a warm hug - every need has been anticipated and provided, from snuggly blankets to snacks and filtered water! And of course - coffee! We will definitely return!

Beautiful Home on Lovely Property
We loved this home! Description and pictures were just as described. Very clean and well maintained. Every aspect of this home truly showed that the owners want your vacation to be special. Kitchen was well equipped with everything we could possibly need. Beautiful deck overlooking the flowing creek where we enjoyed our coffee in the morning and wine in the evening. Our two labs also enjoyed the creek and the fenced in yard area. We hope to return again soon!

Almost Heaven
I stole the title from a sign at the property because it was the perfect description for this place. The house is perfectly pristine with any and everything you would need for a relaxing stay. From the decor and bedding to the chef worthy kitchen and perfect placement next to the creek this place exemplifies the aforementioned “Almost Heaven”. My wife and I were there to unplug and restfully celebrate her birthday. We enjoyed sitting by a fire out by the creek at night and took advantage of all the amenities. We did not have a reason to leave for the 3 nights we were there. The host was very responsive as well. We will definitely be returning to this place.
