Starrsville, and others...please help me with some knock your socks off cabins in the Ellijay, Blue Ridge, Blairsville area.

We need at least 2 br and of course, 2 baths, fireplace, hot tub, and good tv for ballgames....over the New Year's Holiday.

One couple from the Atlanta area and other couple from Dalton area, so we thought that part of Georgia would be good place to congregate.

I have my own place east of there, so nothing comes to mind right now. I'll ask friends that have places in the area.

Are you interested in a resort at all? Brasstown Valley is very nice and it eliminates the whole or at least part of cooking/clean up/buy food dilemma.

leah, where is Brasstown Valley? Will try to google and see what I come up with...

Blairsville - or just down the road - www.brasstownvalley.com

looks like they have some very nice properties.

I just checked out a suggestion that I've seen on the forum before -

www.blackbearcabinrentals.com

I thought it was a group of cabins but it's a rental agency with lots of cabin options.

If you want to head a bit further east, check out Rabun County. I have a realtor friend who handles rentals in the area. LOTS of choices there, including very upscale properties including some on mountain lakes (VERY upscale). It's a bit further on 76 East, but a beautiful area.

Brasstown has a hotel but it also has cabins near the hotel, which are nice. You can use the facilities in the hotel including a small workout room, an indoor/outdoor pool with hottub, restaurant, bar, etc.

The "cottages" at Brasstown Valley may not be what iceeu2 is looking for. The cottages are 4-bedroom structures that share a common "living room" and kitchen (I think some may be 8: 4 up & 4 down, each with l/r & kit). If you rent all 4 bedrooms, (or if the other rooms are not occupied) you effectively have a private living area. If the other rooms are rented, you are sharing the common "living room" and kitchen areas with those guests.

Like the above post mentioned, check out Black Bear Cabin Rentals. We've stayed in these cabins for years and have never been disappointed.
