Hello Sally and John,
We enjoyed an absolutely wonderful three days here including a "rainy night in Georgia". The outdoor fireplace was perfect for an evening of conversation, wine and laughs with our friends from Savannah. It's seldom we can't add at least a small suggestion to holiday owners. In your case, we can't. Thank you

What a great place! We thoroughly enjoyed our relaxing get-a-way. The cabin has everything we could possibly need to make for a great time. The dogs loved it too. Jake spent hours just sleeping out on the deck!! We will definitely be back.
And thank you for the nice welcome gift.

When my husband and I were looking for a vacation getaway we were overwhelmed with so many places to choose from! We wanted privacy, a clean, cozy cabin, no neighbors, freedom, outdoor activities and a truly dog friendly cabin. Cozy Creek's description seemed to fit, but we were not sure until we actually arrived. Everything they describe is accurate and then some. It was an unforgettable vacation! Our dogs got to hike and swim in the rivers and....well, we will defintiley be back! Anyone wondering if it is worth it should visit and we know you'll be back!

Sally and John, Words cannot explain how perfect your cabin is. All of our life stresses melted away the moment we walked through the door. Even Porter, the Border Collie was calm....that never happens. Your hospitality made us feel welcome and at home almost as if you've known us for years. There was something for all of us. I enjoyed your black and red kitchen. It's exactly like mine at home, even down to the red Kitchen Aid pots and pans. Sam enjoyed the rocking chairs and Porter LOVED the creek. Thank you do opening your home to us. This will be a place we will visit for years.

The cabin is wonderful. The sights, smells, and sounds of the property and the cabin itself, were so calming and beautiful. The weather was perfect for July. It felt great in the sun and cool in the shade. Our time was short but sweet. Even with my injury that limited me to lying around, I enjoyed the nuansces of the cabin. The detail of the wood work inside and out was remarkable. The comfort of your home - like home. Thank you for sharing this with others, it should be. Hope to return to enjoy again soon. Thank you.

Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful cabin with us! I remember reading the reviews online and all of your previous guests commenting on the little "touches" throughout the cabin. When we arrived, we couldn't believe how much thought and care you put into every last detail. We really enjoyed spending each morning and night taking in the beautiful mountain views from the deck and listening to the calming sounds of the creek below. A far cry from the hustle and bustle of Florida City life! We look forward to you having us back. Thank you again for making this such a wonderful little getaway!

Cozy Creek is a wonderful relaxing cabin!! The minute we opened the front door we felt this was the cabin for us.The seclusion, the soothing sounds from the rushing creek, the awesome deck with the fireplace and rocking chairs were the absolute epitome of a cabin getaway. Sally and John provided everything you could possibly want.One week was not long enough to appreciate all this cabin has to offer.Gerry & Liz Bumgarner and Fritz 6-15-09

My husband and I rent cabins in North Georgia 3 or
4 times a year and this cabin is in our top 3! We
just stayed in Sally and John's cabin for the 2nd
time...I think that is proof that we love it! In fact,
we discussed how in a few years we would love to
buy a cabin just like this one. Not to big, not to
small, and the seclusion is to die for! Sally and John
provide the best amenities so if you for get your
spices...they got them! Forgot your coffee
creamer...they got it! Wonderful cabin and owners!

Cozy Creek provided all that we needed for a relaxing vacation - sitting on the deck listening to the creek, watching the sun shining on the mountain, celebrating "big" birthdays and best of all, reuniting with friends. The location was beautiful and quiet, and the cabin was gorgeous inside and out. We made good use of the kitchen that had absolutely everything, and the brand new grill on the deck! Bing enjoyed his big red dog bed after hiking the trails with us, and certainly felt at home, as we did. Our "welcome package" was a surprise, and much appreciated! We would love to come back again soon!

We stayed at Cozy Creek Jan 10-17, 2009 and had an extremely relaxing time. It was very cold so the hot tub on the deck was enjoyable. The decor in the cabin is adorable and I scoured around Blue Ridge and found some duplicate items to take home for myself in planning for our "future cabin". Forgot to add in the guest book at the cabin that the claw foot tub was very enjoyable as well. Our bichon, Sasha, loved running around with us and we appreciated having such a beautiful place to bring her. Thanks again.

We have visited the Blue Ridge area for several years, and this is by far our favorite rental. It's perfectly situated in the woods, on beautiful Fightingtown creek and very pet friendly. Our dog, Dakota, really enjoyed his stay. Thanks for sharing your cabin with us. We'll be back!

Christmas a Cozy Creek was great! My wife and I have stayed at many cabins in Ellijay and Blue Ridge over the years, and this is by far the best one we have stayed at. The seclusion and sounds of Fightingtown Creek from the back porch and hot tub can't be beat! It was great to bring our dogs (i.e. our children), and the gated back porch was enjoyed by both us and the dogs. The owners go the extra mile to make your stay both personal and comfortable. The outdoor fireplace is also a nice feature. If you have any animals, you need to visit the "We Love Dogs and Cats too" store in downtown Blue Ridge. We will definitely be back!

We all absolutely loved yoru cabin! We went into Blue Ridge yesterday, but couldn't wait to get back to the cabin to just hang out here by the fire and drink coffee! You made us feel so welcome with the notes telling us exactly what we need to do. We felt like we know you guys! We had a great time bonding as a family and our baby girl loved being with her Uncle Dustin and Aunt Karenda! This would have been a great cabin to have brought our yellow lab and Dachshund too; maybe next time. I loved your floors!! I got inspired to do our basement this way back home!

My husband and I couldn't think of a better way to celebrate our 20th anniversary than with a stay at Cozy Creek. Not only is the cabin an ideal getaway in the perfect setting we are able to enjoy it with our dog. This was our 2nd stay at Cozy Creek within the past year. We plan on making it an annual destination from now on. We just love it and feel so comfortable there. In the infamous words of Goldilocks "it's not too big, it's not too small, it's just right". Can't wait to return again!

Thank you Sally & John - AGAIN! for all your special touches & recommendations. The fall leaf color change became more beautiful day after day. We loved it. Downtown Blue Ridges' Halloween festivities were a nice surprise. We really enjoyed the fire the first few cold days. We always love hiking at the Ocoee & going to Mercier Orchards for fruit & pies. Also took the train ride to Copperhill. Heather,Craig and the dogs - Summer, Tango and Sully 10/26 - 11/3

Sally and John, This was such a nice, relaxing weekend for us. We enjoyed the creek and the wonderful fireplaces. You have such great taste in the little that you add so much. We went into town and enjoyed some shopping and came back to sit in the gazebo swing. Thanks so much for making our trip so special and sharing your cabin with us. Our 5th Anniversary was a real treat. Ashley

Had a great time with our dogs: Luna and Tucker. We rafted the Ocoee & the cabin was a great place to relax after all of that work. Luna had to have unexpected surgery, however the cabin was a great place for recovery. Thanks for the special things you did to make our trip memorable.

Thank you so much for sharing your cozy cabin! It was the perfect way for my husband and me to spend our three year anniversary. We especially enjoyed hanging out in the hot tub, watching movies, cooking in the well-equipped kitchen, rocking on the porch, and watching our dogs chase each other around in the back yard. It was so nice to be able to bring our two furry kids along for the vacation and we appreciate the fact that the cabin was so dog friendly. It was a great place to kick back, relax and enjoy each other’s company. We’re looking forward to getting back out to the cabin sometime soon. It was just what we needed!

The cabin is beautiful and has everything you could ever want or need for a fun and relaxing getaway! We could hear the rushing creek from the gazebo swing, the porch and while we were resting (or tucked in for the night) on the comfortable king size bed. We caught up on some much needed rest! We went whitewater rafting one day, visited Mercier Orchards another day, rode the train to Macaysville GA/Copper Hill, TN one afternoon and antiqued in Blue Ridge. Maggie and Memphis (Golden Retrievers) rested on the gated porch overlooking the creek and enjoyed romping in it at the end of every day. Thanks for a great vacation!

The highlights of our trip: tubing down the Tocooa, watching the dogs chase each other around the back yard of the cabin, chillin' in the hot tub, good food at the Toccoa Riverside Resturant, listening to the creek, sleeping REALLY WELL, spending time together, talking, cooking and eating out on the little picnic table.
"Thank you for sharing your cabin with us! It was exactly what we were looking for to celebrate our three year anniversary. Our dogs, Rowdy and Wily, had a great time and none of us were ready to leave. We hope to return soon - maybe in the Fall for the apples and leaves." Jennifer and Corey

This is the perfect place for rest and relaxation, for renewing and appreciation of all that is good in the world. Sally, your cooking was "5 star"! And how we loved spending time with your precious grandbaby, Tori. Thank you John. We love you both. Mother and Daddy

What a great place. Perfect to get away. Took the train ride - how nice! the dog loved the creek and walking enjoying all of the "new smells". Went to Mercier Orchards - Lots of goodies there.

Cozy Creek is an amazing getaway! Even though it rained most of our stay, we enjoyed our visit as the cabin is fully stocked. From games to movies to books, the owners have done a wonderful job making you feel welcome. If you go during the cooler months be sure to enjoy both the indoor and outdoor fireplaces! Our dog was right at home as well.
We can't wait to plan our next trip to Cozy Creek!

We enjoyed the peace of the creek, the cabin and the wonderful weather! Our 3 dogs loved it here as well. We went hiking at the Ocoee and Fannin County parks (both very nice). We enjoyed grilling and eating out on the picnic table. The local fruit and vegatables were awesome. Wine and the hot tub almost every night. We loved sitting on the deck for hours with the dogs, reading, talking, cooking and drinking. We will have to come back in the Fall!

Enjoyed dining at the Toccoa Riverside Restuarant. Friday night Jill was craving trout and the pecan crusted did not disappoint. David loved the live Bluegrass music. Stopped by the Lily Pad Cafe for Cappucinos afterward. Saturday we enjoyed the Scottish Festival in Blairsville, then toured downtown Blue Ridge. Picked up wine, smoked salmon, sun dried tomato goat cheese and a baguette from Out of the Blue gourmet shop for a romantic dinner at the cabin listening to the sounds of the creek! We'll be back. Thank you for sharing your cozy cabin with us!
David and Jill

Note from owners: We always try to have the names and number of local resturants that we enjoy in our cabin notebook to inform our guests of places to eat or attractions to take advantage of. Sounds like David and Jill took our advise!

Enoyed laughing hysterically after too much wine. Relaxed in the hot tub, enjoyed the outside fireplace, cooking together. Awesome girls weekend! Aimee

Just wanted to add that Aimee is a repeat customer. She and her husband had stayed at Cozy Creek before and she wanted to bring her girlfriends for a weekend getaway. To make their time together special I provided a "conversation card" game just for girls, a bottle of champagne and special tolietries just for them. Sally

This week was all about "the sisters". Susan was here to celebrate our birthdays. Mine March 10 and hers March 12. 51 and 61! We had a great time eating, drinking and watching our favorite shows on TV and movies. Loved having the fireplace going the whole time. And having a glass of wine while in the hot tub. We went shopping and caught up on everything. We laughed the whole time. "Babe" loved being with us too! John joined us on Friday. Can't wait until next year.

SNOW! The snow made this weekend magical. The fire stayed lit most of the time. We were very cozy this weekend. It was a much needed getaway to rekindle our love. It was a home away from home with everything we needed to cook and relax.
Owners comment: This is our son and daughter-in-law. Of course we love for them to come and stay, because that means John and I get to keep our granddaughter, Tori, with us! Cozy Creek can be a very romantic place to be and we are so glad that our special couples find that out!

If you are looking for the perfect mountain getaway look no further, this is it! This was one of the most beautiful cabins that we have ever stayed at and the Blue Ridge location has everything you want in a mountain vacation.
Just pack your personal items because the owners made sure that the cabin has everything you will need during your stay. Don't forget your fly rod for the great trout stream just feet away from the cabin. Be sure to bring your well-behaved 4 legged friend as well beacause the owners made this place as dog friendly as possible. Our dog didn't want to leave!
We are planning many more trips back to this cabin.
