I can’t find the words to describe how amazing this house and property are! We had three families—13 people total—and never once felt crowded or on top of each other. The house is incredibly charming, beautifully styled, and equipped with absolutely everything we needed. It was truly perfect.The property itself is pure magic. We had six kids ranging from ages 6 to 16, and they all had a blast tubing in the creek and catching crawdads, while the men enjoyed some great fishing. We were having so much fun at the house that it was actually hard to leave and check out the local attractions! The location is ideal—completely private, yet close to everything.Brittany was incredibly nice and helpful throughout our stay. I would recommend this home again and again!

A perfect gem that has lovely scenery, great large layout and very clean. Lots of wineries nearby. The views from the back deck-porch could not be more calming. Sitting by the water was divine. Will be back for sure.

Peace Away From Home

My family and I stayed here for New Years and had an amazing time. The house is perfect and has lots of privacy for different families staying together. The property is beautiful and we spent most of our time outside enjoying the fresh mountain air. We can’t wait to come back!

Best Stay in Ellijay!!!!

This little retreat in Ellijay, Georgia was the best we have stayed in. The layout of the house, the comfort of the beds, the location to the trout streams, and the fun that you can have on the creek. We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and our time together. Thank you to our wonderful host and we hope to be back next year.

Could use a little landscaping but the set up it perfect.

Very spacious and laid out well. Very clean and plenty of room to stay in and play games or go sit around the fire pit or take a short walk around. Our family loved it

Plenty of space for eating, hanging out, and for everyone to get a good night’s rest. The house is obviously one of a kind but its also very comfortable and well maintained. The weather was gorgeous, perfectly shady and sunny property!

3rd time here, still great

The owners have really kept the property up, and are always very easy to work with. It's such a unique place. It's rare to find a location with 6 bedrooms, a fire pit, big kitchen, tons of space, AND a creek. Very private yet very open. We will be back again for sure.

We had a great time staying here. The house has such beautiful character. The kids played in the creek. We enjoyed having two living rooms for our large group. The hosts were very easy to get in touch with. You do want to connect to the WiFi once you get on the property because of the lack of cell service. Once we did that. It was easy to call and text. We could have sat in the back porch over the creek for hours. It was such a great place to spend quality time together.
