My family and I spend a whole week at this beautiful home for New Years. We are from Miami and were looking for something different to spend the holidays (other than a beach, Orlando, or the keys)
We decided to go with Fernwood because of the location (close to Ellijay) but also hidden away in the mountains. DID NOT DISAPPOINT ONE BIT. The views are breath taking, you sure feel like you're hiding above the clouds, the sounds of nature, the clean fresh air from the mountain top, just out of this world relaxing and beautiful. We had never been to the mountains so we weren't sure how we would live for a whole week away from society or if we would encounter wildlife right outside our deck, but it wasn't the case at all.
The cabin is really close to two towns, Ellijay and Chatsworth which both have tons of restaurants to chose from, they also have a Walmart super store near by, Ft. Mountain national park is about 2-3 miles from the home (really beautiful trails to explore) and the wild life was there but not what we had thought it would be (like bears coming up the door) we saw a couple of deer and beautiful birds, squirrels in the trees, just the kind of wildlife a Mommy from Miami wanted to keep her babies safe :) my two babies were in love with the little animals. By the way they have corn hole, darts, horseshoe, etc.
The owners of this home have kept the house in pristine conditions, the kitchen is very well equipped with anything you need to make anything you want, the bedrooms are nice and spacious, the beds and bed sheets are so comfortable, they had tons of activities to entertain us late at night after coming home from excursions, the fire pit was beautiful and perfect for making s'mores, as well as the outdoor games that my husband and father-in-law enjoyed every morning before heading out for the day. I really felt at home here, could have not picked a better place to stay.
All in all I would highly recommend this home to anybody that just wants to feel like going away to the mountains and wants a nice, rustic, comfy, welcoming cabin. We will definitely go back to this home and explore more of this beautiful town and Ft. Mountain. We loved it!
