Wood interiors throughout create a warm cabin atmosphere. All three bedrooms feature east facing windows that welcome the morning light, with a bedroom and full bathroom on each floor and outdoor living spaces on every level. The main level features an open concept, two story living and dining area connected to the kitchen. A barn door closes off the bedroom hallway for added privacy.

The finished lower level includes game and media rooms, a sleeper sofa, a full bathroom, and a bedroom with full and twin bunk beds.

UNPLUG WITHOUT GOING OFF THE GRID. Some homes are built to impress. Others are built to make you never want to leave. Tucked among the trees in Ellijay's Coosawattee River Resort, this cozy mountain cabin is the kind of place where mornings start on the porch, evenings end by the wood-burning stove, and life moves at a slightly slower pace. Lovingly cared for by its original owners, this one-of-a-kind retreat is filled with the warmth and character that make a mountain home feel like a mountain home. Rich wood walls, exposed beams, vaulted ceilings, and a beautiful stone backdrop surrounding the freestanding wood stove create an inviting atmosphere you simply can't manufacture. The open living and dining area offers plenty of room to gather, while the loft adds a little extra charm and flexibility. The kitchen was remodeled in 2019, along with the addition of a laundry room, bringing practical updates to this rustic retreat. A metal roof, covered wraparound porch, and wooded surroundings add to its appeal. Outside, you'll find space to garden, a storage shed, and plenty of opportunities to enjoy the fresh mountain air. And that porch? It's practically begging for a rocking chair, a good book, and a second cup of coffee. Whether you're dreaming of a full-time mountain lifestyle or a cozy weekend escape, you'll enjoy access to Coosawattee River Resort's recreational amenities, including pools, river access, parks, and more. The septic system was serviced in 2023. This home embraces a simpler approach to mountain living, with a wood-burning stove for heat and window air-conditioning units for cooling rather than a central HVAC system.
