Escape to the Goldfinch Cottage. A haven where relaxation meets natural beauty.

"Perfect little cabin in the woods!"  If you want peaceful and private surroundings but closeness to activities and festivities, Goldfinch Cottage is for you.  About 20 minutes away from historic downtown Ellijay, getting here is easy.  Your journey will be a slow winding ride with gradual elevation.  (No nail-biting roads here!).

Goldfinch Cottage has the perfect rustic vibe with a tin roof, stacked stone wood-burning fireplace and modern amenity kitchen.  GC offers an outdoor firepit, Jacuzzi hot-tub & BBQ grill, horseshoes & cornhole and a short 15 minute walking trail to finger of Carter's Lake!

Another amenity we have to boast is a close proximity to some of the best quality, award winning wineries in the eastern U.S.  Even if you don't drink wine, they offer micro-brews, light fare, good entertainment and beautiful scenery.  So pack a picnic basket, bring your dog (most are pet friendly) and support your local wineries!

Come for a week or come for a weekend, we invite you to relax in solitude while rocking on our front porch, listening to the leaves and watching the natural wildlife pass you by.
