Summary: The Gold Finch cabin is a great place to stay for peace and quiet! The birds were all over the place along with several deer, chipmunks, squirrels! It was very clean and all the amenities along with a fully stocked kitchen! It was perfectly located in the mountains but only 18 miles from downtown Ellijay where there are great restaurants and shopping. We will definitely be going to that area either to vacation again or move to permanently! Highly recommend this cabin if you are looking for something tranquil!
