Plentiful walking/biking trails, waterfalls, tubing, and white water rafting, quaint shops and downtown eateries, multiple vineyards, and local arts & crafts. Festivals are held year-round and are fun for all ages. Fishing, Biking, 4-wheeling adventures await. A SUV or 4 wheel vehicle is recommended, but not required.

Welcome to The Little Dipper at The CampAway — A Cabin Beneath the Stars.
Perched atop Wallace Mountain in Ellijay, GA, this cozy studio cabin is a quiet, romantic hideaway designed for slow mornings and star-filled nights. Vaulted bedroom windows and soaring cathedral ceilings frame peaceful treetop views by day, while winter’s leaf-off season opens the sky wide after dark. Sink into the super-comfy king bed and let the stillness of the North Georgia mountains do the rest.
Set on 4 private acres with gentle creek access and surrounded by national forest, The Little Dipper feels wonderfully secluded. Spend your days wandering quiet trails or creekside paths, then return to light the indoor wood-burning fireplace or gather around the outdoor fire pit as the stars begin to appear overhead. With minimal light pollution and open winter views, clear nights offer truly beautiful dark skies.
When you’re ready to explore, the charming towns of Ellijay and Blue Ridge are just a short drive away—perfect for cozy cafés, boutique shopping, wineries, and scenic adventures before retreating back to your peaceful mountain escape.
Whether you’re reconnecting by the fire or soaking in the quiet beneath the stars, The Little Dipper is a place to slow down and savor the season.
Everything you need is within a 30-45 minute drive. Multiple shopping districts and excellent food options, and a new state-of-the-art Movie Theater, or if you want to stretch your legs a bit the Chattanooga area with all of its attractions are about 1.5 hours away, the Great Smoky Mountains National Park & Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge area only 2.5 hours away. Cades Cove about 1.5 hours drive, the casinos in Cherokee, NC 1.5 hours. Closer to home take the Blue Ridge Scenic Railway, ranked the 4th-best railway to enjoy the fall colors according to Country Living Magazine.
DOGS: Dogs are WELCOME! We love our fur babies, but this property allows a maximum of two dogs and the fee is $75 per stay. Please, clean paws only in the house and keep dogs off furniture. If you would like to snuggle with your dog on the couch, please bring a blanket to lay on the furniture. The pet policy is strictly enforced and an additional cleaning fee may be applied for excessive shedding.
DRIVING: Last 0.5 miles of road to cabin is unpaved and bumpy at times, very low riding vehicles are NOT recommended, 4 wheel drive preferred, 2 wheel front drive ok, large oversized vehicles are NOT a good idea.
STAIRS: The ladder style staircase is a fun “camping” experience but may not be suitable for everyone. Not ADA compliant, caution is required when using them. Sleeper sofa is available to sleep on downstairs.
CELL SERVICE: You will lose cell service approximately 15 minutes away from the cabin (based on carrier) with some random spots along the way. You can log into WiFi once in the cabins and enable WiFi calling and send/receive text messages and emails. Highly recommend printing driving directions to and from the cabin.
LOFTED BEDROOM: There are no walls or doors that separate the lofted sleeping area from the living space on the main floor. This cabin would not be suitable for guests who would like privacy in sleeping quarters. Would be ideal for a small family with kids older than 5 years old.
The CampAway is approximately 4 acres and houses two 1/bed 1/bath cabins - The Big Dipper Cabin and The Little Dipper Cabin. The cabins are connected via gravel driveways or hiking trails and are approximately 60 yards apart and separated by elevation and trees. Guests of both cabins have access to the Vandergriff Creek via hiking trails. The hike down to the creek from the cabins takes approximately 10-15 minutes via dirt and rock trails and should be a moderate hike for most children and adults. These are true hiking trails and may not be suitable for everyone. Being true mountain cabins, pests and bugs may sometimes make their way into the cabin even though we do spray and inspect monthly to keep them outside.
