Absolutely gorgeous!
I wish I had booked more days so we had time to take advantage of all the amenities. The owners thought of everything! The kitchen was equipped to actually cook for a family, and there were nice little details they thought of as well, such as small laterns around the house in case the power went out. Would definitely book again.

Fantastic Spring Break Vacation
We had an amazing time on our spring break vacation. We are only a family of 3, but we have a 16 year old teen who enjoyed having her own space in the lower level gameroom. My husband and I enjoyed the hot tub and firepit to relax. It was a short ride to downtown Ellijay, and we also took a few trips to Blue Ridge to the downtown area and Mercier's. Amicalola Falls is not too far and also an amazing experience. We had some friends who visited the area recently, and recommended visiting Helen, and though it was a little bit of a drive, it was so much fun. Lots of shopping and the mountain coaster was so cool. There was a lot of space in the cabin for a much larger family, and so much in the community for families to enjoy. Highly recommend Lightning Bug Lodge.

Great weekend getaway!
Lightning Bug Lodge is truly a little gem! Pictures are exact and represent cabin perfectly. The unit was clean and stocked with everything needed including extras like laundry detergent, towels by the hot tub, and toiletries. We were celebrating 2 birthdays and had 6 kids in tow- ages 13 & 16. There was so much to do - all kids were occupied and enjoyed themselves. We visited the Rec Center twice for swimming, working out, basketball & the arcade. David was super accommodating and easy to work with. I highly recommend and would definitely visit again!

Cozy Cabin
This was an absolutely beautiful cabin. The master bedroom had a very comfortable bed! We slept like we were home! The owner was quick to respond and fix the trouble we had with a fireplace. There are a ton of deer in the morning and evening. The cabin had corn for the deer. We enjoyed sitting on the porch and feeding the deer. We love this place and cant wait to go back!!

Wonderful weekend getaway
My family had a wonderful time at the cabin. Everything about it was just what we were looking for! From the hot tub, to the gas log fireplaces, to the ping-pong, air-hockey, board games, puzzles, and movies all our comfort and entertainment desires were exceeded! The kitchen was well supplied to prepare all our meals, the bedroom and bathrooms were comfortable, up-to date, and tastefully decorated, and everything was set up for comfort. We didn’t have to fight over the best seating when we watched a family movie because there were multiple reclining couches! To top it off, we had snow and got to feed about 7 deer that came by for a visit! We will definitely recommend this place to others and stay here again!
