Introducing "A River Runs Through It" - a spectacular 6 bedroom property that sleeps up to 14 guests located in the foothills of the Chattahoochee National Forest. A stay at this 4,000 square foot lodge will be the most unique and amazing experience of your life!
The home is situated in a private setting and is built over a scenic mountain stream (Think of Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater House on a smaller scale). Constructed in 1960, this property holds a lot of historic value, from the 100 year old water wheel which greets you as you pull up the driveway to the walls and ceilings built with wood from old buildings being torn down in the mid 1900's (black walnut, cherry, ash, and cedar).
This mountain getaway has been completely remodeled and features all NEW upscale furnishings. A list of the amenities and bedroom configurations are as follows:
* 1st Family room features leather couches, a fireplace, and 20" flat screen TV (off kitchen area). The ceilings are made of red cedar and the walls are a mix of cherry, black walnut, ash and cedar. The floors are newly finished oak hardwood.
* 2nd Family room is located over the creek and features 2 fireplaces, leather couches, sliding glass doors leading onto a viewing deck and a rear deck, pool table, and a 62" HDTV with DVD, and brand new frieze carpet.

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2006
My husband and I are both realtors and we live in the suburbs of Atlanta. We have 2 kids in elementary school.
Why the Owner Chose Ellijay
We chose to buy in Ellijay because of how close it is to Atlanta and our home. We wanted a vacation home in the mountains to be able to escape to have a peaceful, relaxing weekend. This house captured us from the moment we first saw it. My husband spent over 3 months living here as he remodeled it.
The Unique Benefits of this Lodge
Sometimes we visit with just ourselves...the kids will play in the creek all day as my husband and I sit under the shade of the pine trees in the front yard. We like to invite family and friends, and the home is so big we never feel cramped or crowded. Most of our guests are families/friends with children and many of them bring grandparents. Our home is very suitable for those who can't walk up or down stairs. All the living spaces are on the main level and there is only one small step down as you walk in the front door. Plus, there is a bed/bath on the main perfect for this type of guest. We just think the home is so unique and special with the water flowing underneath! It's a different experience, and we are glad to share it with our guests!

Our parents were thrilled with our choice for their 50th anniversary trip with the family Oct 2011. The home was perfect for all ages. There were so many places for everyone to relax and enjoy their time. We found ourselves not wanting to go anywhere!! Strolling along paths and taking so many pictures with the family along the river rocks and landscape areas. The home is very well maintained. Enjoyed the Apple Festival in Ellijay!
Recommended for:Families with teenagers, age 55+, sightseeing, families with young children.

IF ONE HAS ANY DOUBTS ABOUT WHAT THE HOUSE WILL BE LIKE--PUT IT OUT OF YOU MIND-THIS PLACE WAS MORE THAN WHAT WE EXPECTED. WE SHARED A WEEKEND WITH 6 COUPLES AND MADE GREAT MEMORIES. THE SCENERY AND SOUNDS WERE BREATH TAKING. IT IS A PLACE WE WILL GO BACK TO.

We had a glorious 6 days & 5 nights at "A River Runs Through It" and I can only say that the pictures don't do it justice! Our family of 14 had plenty of room and LOTS to do. I did not hear the words "I'm Bored" one time during the trip. We especially loved the "river". It was cool and refreshing and just deep enough for the older children to enjoy and shallow enough so that the young ones could also participate. The BEST thing was the nightly display by the fireflys!! Bring your butterfly nets! we enjoyce catching and releasing the bugs every night. We WILL be BACK!!

We arrived for our annual Thanksgiving get together with children and Grand children to a wonderful greeting of coming home. Lights were on, TV on with a football game in progress! The house was warm and inviting, you almost expected to smell supper cooking. The atmosphere presented was one of pure pleasure to come for the following week! You can hear the creek singing in the night ... I hope we can go there once again!!! Grandma and P-Paw
