There are so many ways to escape city life and surround yourself and your loved ones with nature for a while. Some people prefer camping in tents. Some prefer taking a few RVs as far out into the woods as they can go. And some want all the beauty and tranquility of the forest while staying in a cabin, with all the modern comforts and amenities they left back home. For those in the last group, there are picturesque cabins like The Honey Pot near Ellijay, Georgia.
The Honey Pot is a beautiful log home nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains.
To look at it from the driveway, you would think it’s a nice two-story cabin, but it actually has three floors. And with a bedroom on every floor, you and your fellow guests will have plenty of privacy despite staying in a single cabin together.
The main floor is spacious, allowing plenty of room for family and friends to convene around the dining table or sit around the fireplace and enjoy each other’s company.
Go out the back and you will find a wrap-around porch with tables, chairs, and a propane grill for some outdoor grilling and dining. The view is stunning, so you might find yourselves outside more often than not.

With a fully functional kitchen that boasts all the latest amenities preparing meals will feel almost like it did back home, but perhaps with a different, charmingly rustic decor.
The master bath has a walk-in shower, but the jetted bathtub will probably get used more during your stay. Don’t worry; every level has its own bathroom with a walk-in shower, so you won’t have to climb stairs every time nature calls or worry about sharing your bathroom with the rest of your fellow guests.
Downstairs from the main level is yet another living area, complete with its own fridge, microwave, and large living room space.
And the bedroom here, just like the rest, has been designed and decorated with the guest’s comfort, relaxation, and enjoyment as the top priority. No floor is lacking in commodities or ease of use.
Walk out the double doors of the terrace to find a superb relaxation area.
With a porch swing to sit and swing your cares away, a picnic table to eat under the stars, and a bricked fire pit to sit around and roast marshmallows, there are so many reasons to get outside and enjoy the scenery. That’s not even mentioning the luxurious hot tub that’s perfect for relaxing after a long day of exploring the nearby trails or enjoying all the shops the town of Ellijay has to offer.
Almost every room of The Honey Pot has a flat-screen TV in it, so if everyone wants to watch a different movie every night, they can.
But with such a spectacular view right out the back of the cabin, television and movies might be the last things on your guests' minds.
The Honey Pot is 20 minutes from the cozy town of Ellijay, so it is a bit of a commute to all of the excellent antique shops and diners there. But that also means it’s a secluded location, without traffic and noisy neighbors. And yes, it is dog-friendly. So you don’t have to worry about finding a petsitter for Fido, because they get to come too! It really is the perfect place to escape with the family without sacrificing all the comforts of home.
