I also loved the cloths for make up removal and would really like to know where I could purchase for myself. I plan to book again soon because I loved it so very much.

Ellie, the host, was wonderful! She communicated clearly and quickly. We really appreciated knowing if anything came up, she would be quick to respond. The weather predicted snow and we were a little concerned about it. Fortunately, there were zero issues! (Sadly, the snow did keep some of the shops on the square closed BUT being able to hang out and stay warm in the cottage was fun!)The location was PERFECT! I loved being that close to the town square!! The cottage is ADORABLE and we loved the decor. The beds were comfy providing a good night's sleep. The cottage was stocked with everything we could possibly need! We're already talking about when we can get back!

The house was so nice! Very clean and simple to get around in. The back porch areas were so nice even though we didn't spend time out there due to the cold. The kitchen is amazing with the coolest frig and huge gas stove. We didn't need to buy anything extra. Host supplied great amenities. The beds and blankets were wonderful for this cold weather. The best thing for us was to be able to walk the downtown area and go to the coffee shops and restaurants. We LOVE visiting Ellijay and I'd definitely choose this house again. Our host, Ellie was very quick to respond to my messages and we appreciate that!

About the host

Hosted by Ellie

Host profile image
We live in Atlanta but have lived abroad as well. Ellie is from France originally. We enjoy sharing our home and providing wonderful experiences to our guests.

Why they chose this property

The historic city of Ellijay is a true gem with year round activities (hiking, wineries, apple picking, festivals, etc..) and offers a refreshing change of pace from the stresses of life. Atlanta is just a 1 hour drive away too! We fell in love with Ellijay. We decided to buy in downtown Ellijay because after an awesome day you can avoid the hassle of driving and walk to many shops, cafes, juice shops, restaurants, and more!!

What makes this property unique

Home is unique:
- upscale finishes with charm of an older home.
- quick downtown access, but located on a quiet street
- fully renovated with new electric, new plumbing, new windows, and new HVAC heating/cooling system.
- large welcoming porch and huge flat back yard.

English, French
