Perfectly relaxing
My family and I enjoyed our stay at this beautifully decorated and comfortable home. We cooked meals in the beautiful kitchen, the kids played hours of air hockey and we enjoyed all that Ellijay offers. The notebook left by the host helped us decide on which hikes to take and which restaurants to dine at. If you like wine, visit Roo. Stunning view!

Wonderful 1st Visit to Ellijay
Such a nice place to enjoy a long weekend in Ellijay! I’m a self-professed “decor snob,” so I tend to book places that are aesthetically pleasing. This house did not disappoint! It’s exactly as pictured. It’s also a great location for exploring Ellijay and the surrounding areas. We’d definitely stay again!

Wonderful Wedding Weekend
We came up for our daughter’s wedding and loved our stay. We will definitely be back the next time we’re in the Ellijay area! The property was exactly as advertised, extremely clean and nicely located near town. It also had easy access via all paved roads. Jenny is a very communicative owner and extremely responsive to any communications. Already looking forward to our next visit!
