Welcome to Stardust Ridge cabin located in beautiful Ellijay, GA inside the well-kept Walnut Mountain community. This gated community offers hiking trails, fishing, lakes and streams, an Olympic-sized swimming pool, tennis courts, picnic tables and much more. The location offers easy access to restaurants, grocery stores, apple houses, wineries, tubing and a short ride to Downtown Ellijay. 

Positioned at the highest point of the community, Stardust Ridge offers breathtaking views of the Blue Ridge Mountains and majestic skies that warm the soul any time of the day. This "modern spin" on a rustic cabin offers 3 levels of spacious living for the whole family or a romantic mountain getaway for couples. The owners spared no expense customizing this unique house with modern day amenities with you, the guest, in mind. Built in 2023 guests will find this cabin to be warm and welcoming - a pure delight - while comfortably feeling like your "home away from home".

1st Floor
Stepping inside from the front door, you enter into the kitchen that spills over into an open floor plan to the connecting great room. The kitchen has marble countertops, hand sawn stained cabinets and stainless steel appliances that include a refrigerator, microwave, an electric oven and dishwasher. Kitchen is stocked with a Ninja blender, Instapot, air fryer, toaster, pots/pans, a CrockPot, Keurig Duo coffee pot (drip and K-cups), adult and children plateware/flatware, and much more. 
The great room features a 75-inch Smart TV for use of guests' own favorite apps (i.e. Netflix, YouTube, Amazon, etc.) with plenty of seating. The focal point of the great room is the camel-colored leather couch that fronts the remote controlled fireplace, with a stylish nesting table adding character to the room. Step through the sliding glass doors (from either the great room or the master bedroom) to enjoy the sights and sounds of nature while relaxing on the deck. The main level deck dons an outdoor gas fireplace, an outdoor Smart TV, a Weber propane grill, and plenty of seating. Our hope is that guests enjoy all amenities offered, but we do ask that the outdoor TV remains covered when not in use. The kitchen/great room area is connected to the master bath with a separate toilet/barrel sink that closes off on either side. 
Guests will find the 1st of 2 master suites located on the 1st Floor. The master bath will simply take your breath away and features dual sinks, a magnificent copper soaking tub, and an oversized walk-in, tiled shower with an extra overhead shower head to wash off the day. The master King size bed will cradle you to sleep with its luxury Dreamcloud mattress or fall asleep to your favorite show while watching the Smart TV located in the room. A walk-in closet with a laundry room can be found just off of the master bedroom, readily available for guests' use. 

2nd Floor
Meander up the staircase and find a 2nd master suite with its own loft space and private deck. This entire 2nd floor is an open floor plan and boasts a King size bed, private full bathroom (with tiled shower) and small den area with designated work space and loveseat. Guests on this level can step out onto their own private deck to relax, read, welcome the morning's sunrise or wonder in the beauty of each day's sunset. Owners have added a sliding barn door for privacy and stained Ponderosa pine floors to warm the space - all with guests in mind to complete this level of contemporary marvel. 

Basement/Terrace level 
Venture downstairs and let the basement space surprise you at every turn! This entire floor features stamped cement floors, rustic barn tin on ceiling throughout and furnishings that make Stardust Ridge stand out among its competitors. This cabin is unique and fun - this gem has been customized to perfection by the owners when building this mountain getaway. XL Twin bunk beds are built into the walls within the den and each bed has its own cubby with USB ports and outlets. A kitchenette with bar height seating, marble countertops, beverage fridge, coffee maker and microwave awaits. An additional bedroom with King size bed is also on the level, plus a full bathroom with 3rd full bathroom that is complete with tile shower. 
Looking for fun times and making memories? You will have access to a Smart TV, board games, bean bag chairs, an x-large wall hanging Scrabble board and inside cabin ring toss will provide hours of it! Need more? A foosball table and an arcade gaming unit have been added since the photos were taken. The arcade unit offers some nostalgic faves, for little and big kids alike, to include: Ms. PacMan, Galaga, Galaga '88, Dig Dug, Dig Dug II, Mappy, Rally-X, Rolling Thunder, Rompers, The Tower of Druaga, King & Balloon. Come stay, play and earn bragging rights until your next return!
Ready to relax even more? Step out of the sliding glass doors of the basement den and you will land on yet another deck area that has a swing couch, hot tub, and plenty more outdoor seating. You will be awed; you will be spoiled and you deserve it. 
So come enjoy all that this gem has to offer while letting the breathtaking views of the Blue Ridge Mountains take you away!

Stardust Ridge is located in Walnut Mountain.  On the drive in you are guided by Turniptown Creek.  Turniptown Creek is where President Jimmy Carter built his vacation home in the mountains. It is also where he wrote numerous books finding inspiration in all that nature has to offer.  You are likely to see bears in the area so please do not feed them.  The bears keep to themselves unless you feed them.  They have a neverending appetitte so they won't understand when you run out of food and they could charge wanting more.
