Escape the ordinary and reconnect with nature at this charming waterfront log cabin tucked away in the woods of Ellijay. Located at 259 Sutton Ridge, this cozy 2-bedroom, 1-bath retreat offers the kind of peace and privacy that is becoming increasingly hard to find. Here, the sounds of the river shoals and surrounding nature replace the noise of everyday life. From the moment you arrive, the cabin's authentic mountain character draws you in. The covered rocking-chair front porch overlooks the water and is the perfect spot for morning coffee or an evening beverage while watching the river flow by. Inside, you'll find a warm and inviting all-wood interior, with wood floors, walls, and ceilings creating the quintessential mountain-cabin atmosphere. Soaring vaulted ceilings and a dramatic floor-to-ceiling rock fireplace with gas logs add even more character and warmth. The primary bedroom is conveniently located on the main level, while the loft provides additional sleeping space with three beds, making this cabin ideal for family and friends. Step outside and the real magic begins. Relax in the hot tub, gather around the fire pit right along the water's edge, or enjoy a meal at the picnic table on the deck while taking in the peaceful surroundings. Wildlife, wooded surroundings, and the soothing sounds of the river create a true getaway where you can unplug, unwind, and simply enjoy being outdoors. Whether you're looking for a private mountain escape, a vacation home, or an investment property, this cabin delivers. And there's an added bonus for investors: this property has been a successful short-term rental, providing the opportunity to continue an established vacation-rental operation while enjoying the cabin for yourself when desired. If you've been dreaming of a cozy log cabin where the river is your backyard, the fire pit is beside the water, and nature is your neighbor, you've found it. Come experience the tranquility of Ellijay mountain living at its best.
