THE REWARD AT GOOSE ISLAND

GATHER, PLAY, AND UNWIND AT THIS CHERRY LOG MOUNTAIN RETREAT

THE COMFORT COLLECTIVE

Be the First to Experience Our Newest Mountain Getaway

Welcome to The Reward at Goose Island, a peaceful North Georgia mountain retreat designed for connection, comfort, and a little bit of everything in between. Tucked into the wooded hills of Cherry Log, this cabin is the kind of place where mornings start slow, days are spent together, and evenings are meant to linger.

With multiple levels of living, gathering, and play, the home strikes the right balance of shared spaces and private retreats. It’s well suited for families, groups of friends, or anyone looking to relax and reconnect in the mountains.

THE REWARD AT GOOSE ISLAND

Comfortable Living Spaces

The main level living area sets the tone for the whole stay. Natural light, comfortable seating, and a gas fireplace make it an easy place to settle in, whether you’re unwinding after a hike or spending a slow morning with nowhere to be.

Just off the living room, the kitchen and dining area are designed to keep everyone connected. A full-size dining table seats seven, a breakfast bar accommodates four more, and the kitchen has everything needed to cook and share a real meal together.

Room to Play, Room to Unwind

The lower level of the home becomes the go-to gathering spot once the sun goes down. A large sectional, streaming TV, foosball table, board games, and cards give everyone a reason to linger. For guests who want a quieter corner, the loft offers a full bed, a dresser, and a bit of separation from the action below.

Guests can enjoy:

• Entertainment room with sectional seating and streaming TV

• Foosball table

• Board games and cards

• Loft with full bed, ideal for kids or flexible sleeping

Room for Everyone

The Reward at Goose Island sleeps up to ten guests across three distinct sleeping areas, giving everyone comfortable, private space to recharge. The entry-level king suite features deck access, a workspace, and a private bathroom. The upper-level king suite offers custom cabinetry and its own private bath. On the lower level, a bunkroom with two twin-over-twin bunks is a natural fit for kids, and a full bed in the loft provides flexible overflow sleeping.

Outdoor Living

Outdoor living is where The Reward at Goose Island truly comes into its own. The property offers layered decks and gathering spaces at every level, each with a different feel and pace.

Guests can enjoy:

• Screened-in deck with dining for 8, rocking chairs, and outdoor TV

• Lower level deck with ping pong, cornhole, and a gas fire table

• Hot tub for 8

• Fire pit area with Adirondack seating

• Circular hammock platform for stargazing

• Outdoor lounge seating and propane heaters

• Gas grill

Whether the plan is a late breakfast on the screened porch or a night around the fire pit, the outdoors here invites you to slow down and stay a little longer.

Goose Island Hideaway

The Reward at Goose Island sits within Goose Island Hideaway, a quiet, gated community tucked along the Ellijay River in Cherry Log, Georgia, roughly between Blue Ridge and Ellijay. The community is private, peaceful, and surrounded by the natural landscape that makes this corner of the mountains worth visiting.

Guests staying at this property enjoy:

• Gated entry with controlled access

• The sounds of the Ellijay River threading through the community

• Hiking and nature trails through forested terrain

• Proximity to the Rich Mountain Wildlife Management Area and Chattahoochee National Forest

• Abundant wildlife, including black bears, whitetail deer, wild turkey, and native birds

The setting is intentionally unhurried. Goose Island moves at its own pace, and The Reward is a natural fit for guests who want to be close to nature without giving up the comforts of a well-appointed home.
