VRBO
Wonderful place to visit. The biggest issue I have is not in the home. It was wonderful.The issue was with the VRBO additional service charges. I will never use them again due to that fact.I have been concerned about the Vrbo rates for a few years but this one was a backbreaker. I will use you again.

Happy Jacks and Aileen were Awesome
Our party was 4 sisters and our husbands. Happy Jacks was the perfect venue for the annual get together. Scheduling was easy. As we approached the date Aileen was very informative and communicative. Happy Jacks was spotlessly clean the beds were comfortable and the kitchen was well appointed. The proximity to the river was perfect and we spent the majority of our time outside enjoying the perfect setting. Every evening was spent enjoying the fire pit and sometimes during the day. We kayaked and fished and had deer in the yard every day. Happy Jacks could not have been more perfect. Everyone raved about everything Happy Jacks had to offer.

GREAT Waterfront vacation home and Resort
The home and the community were great. This was our second year booking at Happy Jacks. The hosts are kind, helpful and make staying at the property a breeze. We drive from Florida— the facilities are well worth the drive. Everything was like it was presented in the advertisement, maybe even better. All of the furnishings were high class with a rustic flare. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen was stocked so we could prepare nice meals for our group. The resort facilities were plentiful. Thank you for a second great stay at Happy Jacks

The property is very nice, the stream in the back of the property is great for hanging out with the family. Deer everywhere, so be careful when you have to drive. Overall a great location to detach from the everyday grind.

Perfect Weekend Getaway
We have been renting a cabin in Ellijay/Blue Ridge area since our now 18 year old daughter, was 2 and it is one of our favorite traditions! Happy Jack's is at the top of our favorite rentals, ever! The location right on the river, huge outdoor area and beautiful, spacious cabin were all perfect! The cabin was stocked with anything you could need, beds were super comfortable, there were plenty of hooks for towels, coats, etc (no-one ever has enough of those), our son loved the game room and it was beautifully decorated. Our family had more than enough space to spread out and we loved being able to sit right by the river to eat a meal and have a fire to roast s'mores and listen to music. we also had so many deer come right up to the cabin and even cross the river right in front of us (never seen that before). Aileen was super to work with and very responsive. We will definitely be back to Happy Jack's and definitely recommend this cabin! It also looks like it would be awesome for warm weather too (maybe we will book again in the summer).

Happy Jacks’s IS GREAT!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Happy Jacks. The facilities were perfect. There was sooooo much to do within the neighborhood. We floated the river, which was chilly but fun. We bought corn at the local feed store to feed the deer, which came to see us morning and night. All around a great place to stay. We were busy with so many outside events, we didn’t take enough time to enjoy the beautiful facilities. We home to come back and relax next time!

The cabin was very spacious for 11 people. So beautiful and very clean. Everyone enjoyed the basement game area. The owner answered many questions and went out of her way to accommodate us and make our stay enjoyable. Saw many deer every night. Enjoyed the fire pit and horshoes. Also swam every day and enjoyed our stay immensely.
