About this property

E Ranch is a modern, creek side, Scandinavian barnhouse.

E Ranch is located 10 miles from Highlands on the Atlanta side, 10 miles from Clayton, 2 miles from Dillard, 1 mile from Sky Valley and only 2 hours from Atlanta...a great home base for all the area has to offer. It’s balconies overlook a soothing and tranquil mountain stream allowing you to relax with the sounds of nature. Walk, run, or play in your own private pasture or just relax and watch the clouds roll by. E Ranch has 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, an open living area, and a private outdoor area with shower and hot tub. E Ranch is a brand new structure blending modern and rustic elements. The property is easily accessible from a short, well graded gravel driveway without the treacherous, car punishing dirt roads you may encounter at many mountain cabins. It is located within 3 miles of stores, restaurants and civilization yet, it feels worlds away from everything. You hear nothing but the stream and sounds of nature.

The property is located in close proximity to waterfalls, hiking, shopping, scenic drives, fine restaurants, wineries and distilleries, state parks, rafting, zip lining, fishing, and farm to table markets.

Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Very nice property. They had everything you need but food and your clothes. The property manager or owner was easy to get in touch with. The house was pet friendly and the property was nice for my dog.

My husband and myself thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We have a little senior Pekingese dog, she really enjoyed her stay too! She’s not an outdoor dog and loves to just lay looking out a window. But it’s great if you do have an outdoor dog that would like to play outside.

Nice house. Obviously tastefully designed and decorated for an open, uncluttered feel. Noticed lots of ownership tlc. Rural setting with open space but still a feeling of privacy. The sound of the creek was very relaxing and very little daylight time was spent inside. Wide range of dining in the area and we enjoyed going out from diner style to fine dining. Really good six days for us.

Wonderful spot!

We had a great time. The property was very quiet and located close to Dillard and Clayton which made for good choices for dinner. The house was very clean and the wifi worked well. Not much phone signal, so wifi is a must! Hot tub and the creek were perfect.

Family getaway

We've stayed previously a couple of years back but this trip was extra special because we were able to bring our children this time and it's just the perfect family getaway! The property itself is beautiful, a nice relaxing spot. Just a few minutes to nearby restaurants. We love it! And we will keep coming back!
