Notes from the host
5-Star Beauty with Cozy Elegance & Private Hot Tub
Please...Show us respect... write to us BEFORE attempting to Book. We will respond... and ... CHECK YOUR SPAM FOLDER!
Lets make sure we are a good fit for each other. We will not complete any booking without a proper email discussion.
We require an "official" guest list with all names and ages, including daytime guests, and any pets visiting or staying.
We are proudly a true VRBO'er, the most important part being By Owner. That means we offer the attention to detail, cleanliness, and amenities that you would expect from owners who are intimately and directly involved with the care and management of their cabin. It also means we have another life! and are NOT on duty 24/7 (except for emergencies of course).
We are giving you our best, and we expect your best in return. We do not care to be treated like the Economy Inn. We hope you can tell the difference and treat us accordingly. We are not your best option for bargain hunters, but do provide one of the best values available for quality of your intimate mountain vacation experience.
The most consistent reaction we have from guests, family and friends is that Wagon Wheel Ridge is far more beautiful than they expected. Pictures don’t do it justice. Beautiful, private setting. Beautifully landscaped and decorated. There is something for both him and her. She will appreciate the tasteful and well-appointed rooms. He will appreciate the hint of cowboy and farm (We “just said no” to the moose & bear motif.) Both will appreciate the private, cozy, quiet, natural setting. You will simply enjoy! WWR is fun, relaxing, beautiful, serene, exciting, peaceful, private. It is close to nature, quaint, cozy, comforting. There is a warmth that is hard to put into words, that you cant see in pictures.
Wagon Wheel Ridge is a little bit country, a little bit western. Its got a touch of cowboy and a hint of the farm. It has the feel of an elegant ranch line cabin tucked away in the hills. If you are looking for an extraordinary, peaceful, private and relaxing getaway, We'd love to have ya' drop by!
On vacation in the mountains…Its All About The HOT TUB and The View…and we’ve got more than just a hot tub. We have a Hot Tub Pavilion with its own relaxing, laid-back seating area perfect for gathering under the ceiling fan and chatting with your friends in the tub. The tub itself is a 6 seat Gulf Coast Spa LX5000 with lights, waterfall, and aromatherapy. And...drum roll please...we positioned the hot tub and raised it off the ground so you can enjoy the mountain view from the tub...you can truly soak it all in.
Do you want a getaway that sticks with you for weeks. A vacation experience you cant help but tell your family and friends about? This is the place. Right here. Enjoy a week or a weekend - grillin', chillin', hiking, biking, kayaking. Or just snuggle in watching your favorites - sports, movies, classic TV - or maybe some quiet time, catching up on some reading.
Downstairs we have a comfy-cozy Living Room, Media Room, and Dining Room area defined by custom-made, absolutely one-of-a-kind door and window trim. Look closely at the pictures from those rooms! The warm ambiance it creates is almost indescribable. If you like beautiful handmade artistry...it alone is worth coming to see. Also you will find hand-scraped solid oak floors throughout this area.
The Living Room has a large mountain-view picture window, wood-burning fireplace and loads of cowboy cool, which continues right on into the Media Room. There you can enjoy the game in sheer audio and visual pleasure on the Sony 40' HD LCD TV and 5.1 Sony Home Theatre System with Boston Acoustic speakers & subwoofer.
We provide Dish Network Satellite TV reception in the Media Room, both downstairs bedrooms and the Teen Loft. The Media Room and the Master Bedroom both have a HD TV, and all four TVs have recording capability to record your shows while you are out.
The kitchen has an enormous cast iron farm sink, beautiful custom made French country distressed finish cabinets with tear drop glass doors. Frigidaire electric range and ceramic stovetop, microwave, and dishwasher, a side-by-side Bosch refrigerator, and various small appliances for your convenience.
We have two beautifully decorated bedrooms and two cute-as-can-be bathrooms downstairs; then we have a darn nice teen loft with half-bath and one queen and one twin bed. Plus the loft has three built-in cushioned benches for lounging, though they are not setup for sleeping.
From the front porch you can see for miles. The view is sweetly framed by the split-rail cedar fence and the close-by trees, creating an effect that is hard to duplicate. Off one end of the front porch are stairs and a walkway that lead you to the Hot Tub Pavilion. At the other end of the front porch is the deck. The deck has a stainless steel propane gas grill for quick and easy grillin', plus a large square dining table (square makes it easy to talk & pass the groceries) and cushioned seating for eight. And that's not all ...another drum roll please...you can soak up a little mountain sun, touch up your tan, and get your Vitamin D!!! We've got two fully cushioned chaise lounges that face in just the right direction.
Outside, we have beautiful natural landscaping and a paved basketball court for the kids and/or adventuresome adults. We also have an outdoor fire-pit. We supply the wood - you supply the common sense and don't set the woods on fire.
Details matter, and we have put extra attention in appointments and furnishings, from the linens to the wall decor. For all beds we use Jamison Resort Foam 5-Star Mattresses and high thread count sheets. In both downstairs bedrooms we use extra plush 80 ounce luxury carpet and heavy padding. We even use Italian decorative iron with an embossed vineyard grain for the porch & deck pickets.
How do you get a mountain view - You gotta climb a hill. With over twenty years of rental guests coming and going on our hill, obviously this is not an issue for most folks. But for a few it is. Unlike so many of the privately owned roads out here in the country, we make sure ours is maintained regularly. Nevertheless, low-slung cars, overloaded/under-powered vehicles, and timid drivers are at a disadvantage driving any gravel hill. If you want to know more, please ask.
Wagon Wheel Ridge is only about 12 miles from Ellijay in Gilmer County, Georgia, the Apple Capital of Georgia. Ellijay is home to the Apple Festival held two weekends in October. There are Apple Houses along the highways with fresh and canned produce, gifts, baked goods, and other treats. Ellijay has numerous antique shops, art galleries, and restaurants. Wagon Wheel ridge is also convenient to Amicalola Falls, Dawsonville, Dahlonega, and Blue Ridge, each with their own attractions. Go antiquing to your heart's content or ride the scenic railway in Blue Ridge. Visit the North Georgia Premium Outlet stores & the Georgia Racing Hall of Fame in Dawsonville. Pan for gold & shop antiques in Dahlonega. Yee Haw!
