Directly on Big Creek/Hot Tub/Game Room/Outdoor Living Space/ Remote/True Cabin
Have you ever been longing for a place that is inviting, remote and carefree? Castaway is the ideal retreat situated alongside a rushing creek. The adventure begins as you cross over a covered bridge. The perfect place to castaway all your cares and enjoy all that nature has to offer. Enjoy listening to the creek as you relax with a cocktail on the screened-in porch, soaking in our Hot Tub or toasting marshmallows at the fire pit just feet away from the creek. Experience the chorus of frogs, crickets and birds at dusk. You won't forget how beautiful that is. What a treat!
The house and game room/loft were HUGE. All the bathrooms and showers were beautifully done. The property was super clean. Martha, the manager was great to work with and very sweet. Nothing negative to say about the property. It was perfect! The stream, the old bridge, the hot tub, the fire pit and the loft above the game room. All were perfect. I absolutely recommend this property.
We truly enjoyed our time with our family. Cabin location is convenient to nearby towns and had everything we needed to stay in if we wanted. Martha is a fantastic host!
Our getaway was amazing the cabin was beautiful clean and immaculately decorated and the tranquility of Big Creek was very relaxing. Martha is the greatest premier host ever sheâs very kind and informative she makes staying at her properties feels very welcoming.
We had a great immediate family get together in early June 2025. This property is absolutely breautiful and very peaceful. Many games and activities are provided to keep everyone entertained. Even more important, the owner, Martha, was so very kind and helpful....she even mailed items that were forgotten back to me. I highly recommend this property (wish I could give it 10 stars).
This property was in a beautiful peaceful location and the cabins were incredibly clean. We could not get over how clean, neat, and organized the cabins were.
We were 9 ladies and enjoyed our stay very much, very comfortable, very very clean, cabin was in nice water front location. We would be going back again to the same cabin next year.
Everything was great! The host was very attentive and accommodating. The cabin was well stocked with everything you need. We enjoyed the added touches of games and outdoor toys.
If youâre looking for a 5 star experience in the beautiful north Georgia mountains, then you need not look any further! Clean, fully equipped, cabin and guest house situated on a softly rolling creek with covered bridge entrance - you will feel as though you have entered a storybook setting. You will lack for nothing and the property host is amazing!
We chose this property for our momâs 80th birthday celebration because she loves to trout fish and this offered a very gentle walk to the waters edge and had only two steps into the main level featuring full bedrooms and bath on main. The host, Martha, was an absolute pleasure to work with and left no stone unturned when it came to both decorating and provisioning the property. Everything was perfect and weâll definitely return!!
This place was Amazing!! Peaceful and relaxing. The cabin had everything you would need. Martha was so kind and attentive if you had any questions or needed anything. My husband said that this was the best birthday ever and was so happy I found this cabin and location. We look forward to our next trip to Castaways.

We have vacationed quite a bit in this area over the past 10 years. This cabin appealed to us based on the location on the creek and general proximity to both Ellijay and Blue Ridge. The cabin was as advertised and the reviews were accurate. Well appointed, plenty of room and Martha was very reachable and left us some treats. There is plenty of room for everyone and having a creek to cool off in was great. Dont hesitate to spend some quality family time here for sure.
We can't say enough about this amazing property. The host Martha was so welcoming, accommodating and always ready to help. The property is stunning, clean and full of activities (you never have to leave). The creek located at the back of the property is stocked with gorgeous rainbow trout (catch and release) and provides a natural soundtrack for relaxation. If you are looking for the perfect compound for your wilderness getaway...look no further!!! Highly recommend!
My family (me/spouse/3 boys ages 10-19/mother in law) stayed here Christmas week. Property looks brand new and was clean, well stocked with everything we needed and even decorated for Christmas! Plenty of hikes available in easy driving distance, grocery store not too far away, and close to Ellijay where we had a breakfast together and shopped in the beautiful town one morning. Also we stayed on property several days of our trip just to fish in the creek (my oldest son caught a couple fish each day) and spend time together. My middle son enjoyed all the games especially in the game room. My youngest loved exploring around the grounds and using his imagination for all sorts of adventures outside. We are already planning a return trip!
From arrival to departure our experience was perfect. The cabin is situated deep in the mountains and perfectly peaceful. The cabin has tons of amenities, and is decorated beautifully. Martha was easy to work with and provided perfect personal touches along the way. While at the cabin we enjoyed fishing and playing in the creek, relaxing in the hot tub, and hiking in the woods. We hope to return again in the future.
There is nothing negative I can say about the property. It is remote and absolutely beautiful! We had the best time, the creek was the highlight for our family. The game room is perfect and the bedroom above it is very comfortable. Our group consisted of teenagers to adults and everyone was very pleased. We donât have one complaint about this place. Martha was an amazing host and quick to respond. The donuts left upon check in were amazing. We will be staying here again!
It was just right! My family of four plus both sets of parents had a great time. Close enough to Ellijay and Blue Ridge to visit both. Cabin was stocked with plenty to do for us and kids (shuffle board tournament became a big hit) along with the fire pit. Sitting listening to the creek was definitely relaxing.
Owner was great! Reached out to us before we got there and was very easy and good to work with and very accessible if needed. We all ageed we will be staying there again!!
Castaway was perfect in every way! It is peaceful and even more beautiful than the pictures convey. Our family ranged in age from 14 to 73 and each had a wonderful time enjoying all the activities from the creek to the hot tub! The game room was a big hit with our teens.
The location is perfect!
Martha is a gracious host and definitely goes the extra miles for her guests!
Our family is looking forward to returning next year! Thank you, Martha!
This place is beautiful!
The pictures doesnât do it justice.
The 7 of us stayed 3 nights at this roomy cabin in the woods. There was so much to do at the cabin we didnât need to leave. It went by way too quick.
Martha and David were amazing.
Any questions I had they were right on it.
Martha even made us banana nut bread. So cute!
I would definitely stay there again.
Castaway is truly a hidden gem! The location couldnât be more perfectâconveniently situated between Ellijay and Blue Ridge, yet tucked away just enough to provide a serene and peaceful retreat. The newly added firepit is an absolute highlight, perfect for cozy evenings under the stars. The cabin itself is spotless, thoughtfully organized with clear labels on everything (a small but incredibly helpful touch), and exceptionally comfortable.What truly sets this experience apart, though, is Martha. Having stayed in numerous short-term rentals, I can confidently say she is unmatched. Her communication was prompt and attentive, and she went above and beyond to ensure my boys and I had everything we needed for an unforgettable stay. She even showed a genuine interest in making sure we had a fantastic experience.I canât recommend Castaway enough and am already looking forward to returning!
Perfect place for a quiet and peaceful gathering. Amenities galore. Super clean and comfortable. The grands loved throwing rocks in the stream, catching and releasing tadpoles, playing with the many creek toys and other outdoor games available. Sâmores at the amazing fire pit and a dip in the hot tub closed out the fun filled days. The birthday boy said âthis was the best birthday ever!â Martha is a wonderfully helpful and kind host. She even had a gift and birthday cookie cake for my grandson! We will definitely return one day!
My family thoroughly enjoyed our short visit to Castaway . I am a neat freak and was excited to see that the owner takes pride in cleanliness and organization. At first concerned that we were far from stores but it turned out to make for some great quality time with family. Only ate out once. Wonderful kitchen to prepare meals. So many amenities. Lovely view and sound of rushing waters from Big Creek. You score a 5 with us. Thanks again for a wonderful experience.
Hi! Thank you so much for your interest in Castaway located in Cherry Log in the North Georgia Mountains. I have been an Owner/Property Manager of several condos over the course of 17 years at Edgewater Beach Condominium located in Destin, Florida. I have just recently sold my last condo. This has given me the opportunity to focus on my guests at Castaway. Our personal cabin is just 5 cabins away which allows me to be hands-on whenever needed. One of my joys is to make sure my guests have an incredible and worry-free time. I feel that begins well before their stay, during and after. I have truly enjoyed getting to know my guests and want them to feel they have found their "Home-away-from-home". So it just made since to purchase this wonderful cabin in the Mountains as they are so close to us. I'm so excited to be able to offer this beautiful property so families and friends can be together and share life-long memories. I hope that Castaway will become your home-away-from-home too! Welcome to the North Georgia Mountains!
