About this property
Cozy Ellijay Cabin-close to hiking, Red apple barn, waterfalls and wineries!
Tucked away on a peaceful, wooded 1.5-acre lot, "Joy Retuns" is the perfect place to relax and recharge. Enjoy coffee on the porch swing at sunset or cozy up with a book by the fireplace. End the night with s’mores by the outdoor fire pit!
Close to shopping and dining, yet secluded enough for true serenity.
Please note: 🛏 Main bedroom is upstairs 🛏 Downstairs has twin trundle beds 🐾 Dogs are welcome, but no cats due to allergies. Thanks for understanding!
Tranquility awaits @ Joy Returns
