Red Maple Cabin is a secluded, peaceful, mountain home surrounded by woods with the sound of a nearby mountain stream located on the side of Walnut Mountain just minutes from Ellijay. Snuggle in front of the living room fireplace (seasonal), or enjoy the front porch rocking chairs. More rocking chairs grace the expansive back deck with gas BBQ grill, deep woods view, and a serene, quiet, mountain setting. In the evening you can cozy up to the outdoor fire pit, wrap yourself in a blanket, and swap stories.
Upon arrival to the wood cabin you are greeted by the front deck with several inviting rocking chairs. Inside are wood walls and wood floors for that true cabin experience. There are 3 decks in all, one in front, and two in back with great views and several rocking chairs. The upper/loft main bedroom has its own private deck.
The main level features the living room with a high vaulted ceiling, a cozy fireplace (seasonal), two queen bedrooms, a full bath, and kitchen. Off the kitchen is the second deck running the entire the length of the cabin with a plumbed gas grill and perfect views.
The upper/loft main bedroom features a king size bed, private full bathroom, reading nook, and double doors opening to the private screened deck.
Downstairs (basement) is a large game room with a Smart TV, sitting area, a regulation size cornhole set, game table, and lots of games.
Outdoors, the back yard features a wood-burning fire pit for enjoying great conversations on a chilly night. Blankets are provided too. A picnic table under the trees is ready for your picnic gathering.
Each bedroom has smart ROKU TVs with blazing fast internet for accessing your favorite streaming apps just like you were at home. Smart TVs are also located in the living room and game room.
Adjacent to the living room is the kitchen stocked with cookware, dishes, glasses, a Hamilton Beach Flex Brew coffee maker for brewing by the pot or individual k-cups, blender, toaster, mixer, pots/pans, dishwasher, and more. Just bring your own groceries to make delicious meals on the gas cooktop and oven. The kitchen is open to the living room so that you can see the TV and talk to the other guests. The table sits six.
One thing we love is that itâs quiet here, the stars are amazing, and the wildlife visits from the squirrels, chipmunks, birds, and deer are entertaining.
Walnut Mountain offers four lakes and hiking trails. For the more adventurous, Amicalola Falls is only 30-minute drive away and offers great hiking, picnicking, and the falls. Hikers might want to visit the Chattahoochee National Forest on Springer Mountain where the Appalachian Trail begins. Around the Ellijay - Blue Ridge area youâll discover white water rafting, tubing, zip lines, golf courses, beautiful mountain drives, apple orchards in the fall, antique shopping, and many local wineries and vineyards.
Lake access to Lake Dakwa (one of 4 lakes) is by walking up the mountain to the next right turn and following the walkway down to the lake and hiking trail.
All guests have access to the Walnut Mountain community amenities. These include an outdoor community swimming pool (CLOSED FOR REMAINDER OF 2025), play ground, tennis courts, basketball court, and a picnic area. Bring your canoe, kayak, and/or fishing poles to take advantage of the 4 private lakes in the community that are home to bass, catfish, and brim. There is a trout fishing stream at the entrance to Walnut Mountain near the picnic area. You will also find several hiking trails on Walnut Mountain. (Check local laws regarding fishing licenses.)
