Family getaway
A perfect place for a family with 3 generations to stay… there was something for everyone! One grandchild summed it up perfectly by saying this was the most beautiful place he’s ever stayed in! The owner was extremely helpful too!

Truly Exceptional
The house is wonderful! When we travel, we usually stay in five star hotels (Four Seasons and Ritz). This house was so clean and well appointed, with every detail (including the photos for drawer contents), that it honestly felt even nicer than a hotel. I hope you have great guests that take good care of this special spot!

The most amazing place with an incredible view that we will come back!!!!
Eagle mountain lodge was the perfect place from driving up, to entering the home with the sound of a running brook. We walked inside the beautiful, roomy living area and the notices the covered outdoor space - 10 ladies woke up to the morning sun while watching the deer and drinking coffee . This home was fabulous- it was filled with all the amenities of home. It was a perfect girls weekend getaway - we didn’t want to leave! It is great for a family too - we all want to make this our every other year adventure! everything was easy when we arrived and just as simple when we left - we will definitely be booking this again! Sarah was so very helpful with any question we had and was always available if we needed anything. Lots of seating - Well stocked kitchen - bathrooms were great - hot tub a plus!!! Just so much - we loved it!

Relaxing family spring break

Beautiful and 5 star treatment
Property is unbelievable. Everything was as advertised. Views were dynamic. Such a great place. We will definitely be back. Property Manager was excellent to interface with. We could not have picked a better place to congregate for our son’s wedding in Ellijay. Blessed for the experience.

Wonderful Family Christmas
We just returned from our stay at Eagle Mountain Lodge - it was everything we imagined and more! Our family celebrated an early Christmas with grandparents and the tree and holiday decorations added to the already beautiful design of the home. The house was very comfortable, had everything we needed and Sarah was an excellent and responsive host. Our kids loved the movie theater room, hot tub and game room - the adults enjoyed the view and having a fully stocked kitchen to create memorable family meals. The bedrooms are all super comfortable and there was plenty of space for our family of 12. We had a wonderful time and highly recommend!

Amazing
Eagle Mountain Lodge was more than we could have ever hoped for! From the moment we walked in the front door to touring the home and then to seeing the spectacular view outdoor — we were in a state of amazement!! It was all as beautiful as we hoped for. The Christmas tree added so much to our Christmas spirit! The home was so clean and well equipped. The kitchen had everything we needed. From the board games to the ping pong table (our favorite) to the hot tub and fire pit, there was never a dull moment. Greeting the deer every morning was a treat. Needless to say, we would most definitely stay here again. Many thanks and gratitude for you sharing your wonderful home!

Our beautiful mountain trip with family!
My family just returned from an amazing trip to Ellijah, Ga. Our 5 bedroom home was perfectly situated atop Eagle mountain with amazing views and sunsets. We also saw many deer, foxes and wild turkeys. The house was beautifully decorated along with original artwork painted by the owner. All the amenities were fist class and easy access. We also enjoyed renting a boat for the morning on Lake Blue Ridge, fishing at a nearby pond, eating lunch in downtown Ellijah, and driving to a few of the wine vineyards for a tasting. Absolutely beautiful!! I highly recommend this home for your next visit to the mountains!!

Amazing house
Our extended family of 12 had a wonderful stay here to celebrate some milestone birthdays. The house is so beautiful, we didn't want to leave. We have rented many houses before for large family gatherings, this was the best equipped with respect to dishes, cookware etc. Sarah is a great host and very responsive; any issues were addressed immediately. She even arranged for balloons and champagne to be set up upon our arrival. Loved our stay.

About the host

Hosted by Sarah Clawson

Host profile image
We are Carol & Ronald Kirby, native Georgians who love the mountains. Our Lodge began as a family collaboration in 2020. When we could not find a cabin we loved, I started sketching designs and sent them to Paul, our son, who agreed to build it for us. The Lodge was a like a giant canvas/sculpture to me as a professional artist. Paul took my ideas and enhanced them with his expertise and craftsmanship. Our daughter, Sarah, manages the property with hands on care and sincere attention to detail.

Built with our family in mind and aspiring to host your family and friends, we invite you to visit our place of joyful togetherness and experience the art of retreat
