Hidden Gem in Ellijay

We loved everything about our stay. From the cozy and charming cottage to the beautiful view of the river. We kicked back and relaxed by the fire pit and spent most of the day catching trout. The cottage had everything we needed and was the perfect getaway! We can’t wait to go back with our kids and catch more fish!

Great spot, relaxing and comfy

We had a great time at the cabin. It was cozy and the river was lovely. Caught two nice rainbow trout and a big ole brown trout; hooked into a few more monsters that got off the hook before I could land em too. Ashleigh was very hospitable and easy to communicate with. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay there again.

Amazing get away!

It was perfect for the two of us with the dogs! I had one who loved walking in the creek and my other dog was in love with the grass, he would roll down the hill stopping before the water. Exactly what we were looking for !Ashleigh is amazing!

Creekfront cabin

Ashleigh was a great host. The cabin is cozy & rustic, with some modern upgrades. Very comfortable bed, hot water & pressure made for a great shower, the backyard on the creek is a serene and natural setting… very peaceful. Will definitely go back there.

This is an amazing, private, quiet, clean getaway residence. Up in the mountains but not too far from the city. The host Ashleigh was very accommodating, responded to communication in a timely manner, and provide more than enough amenities. I give this location⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Online shows more secluded but it was over all fine. There was no fish at all in the creek but the listing stated a great trout but it was not.

Beauty and tranquility

Hostess Ashleigh Is such a kind and authentic soul… she knows what a person needs to find their calm. If you find anything not perfect about this place then… I’m sorry, that’s on you because this place is remarkable! And if something isn’t right… Ashleigh will move mountains to make it so !! just let her know. this place is clean and has good water and is just steps from the most beautiful trout stream you will ever put your feet in. It’s remarkable… I won’t want to rave too much about it for fear that it will always be booked and I’ll never get back… Enjoy your stay… it’s memory you will cherish

Uncomfortable and wet

Yard was a 10 out of 10. The whole house was moist and smelled of mildew. Couch was very uncomfortable and had a horrible smell. Left some bags on the floor and they were dripping wet when I picked them up. Leaks in the bathroom and kitchen ceilings and mold on the walls in kitchen and bathroom. Surrounding areas and town were great so luckily we did not have to hang out at the house. Box fun was loud next to the master bedroom, running 24/7 in the utility closet.

Perfect little getaway

Great space for a small family or group! I stayed with 3 adults and it was just enougj space to feel like we could spread out a bit. The kitchen area has good basics lile sheet pans, pot, crockpot, coffee pods and drip brewer, and french press. The fridge holds enough food for a small group and the eat-in kitchen was great for our needs. The beds in the loft got rave reviews from two 40 year olds and I loved the sheets. The house was easy to relax in. I will caution that the stairs to the loft is steep, so I only went up once. The bathroom was supplied with shampoo and conditioner and body wash. We didnt need to bring anything except paper towels, toilet paper, and our own food. But the yard, you ask? Amazing. My dog loved it, i loved it, we lived it. Hard to pass up a chance to sit right by a river and hear the wonderful sound of running water. Thank you Ashleigh, for your great communication, smooth checkin process, and a great place to get some R and R.

Adorable little house

My husband and I like to go somewhere together 2 or 3 times a year. We both like the outdoors. The inside of the house was so cute and it was clean with pretty much all we needed. The instructions to gain access were easy, but the directions were from Atlanta and we came in from Chattanooga side. We had to back-track a little bit because we passed our turn. I am glad we got there before dark because the gravel road is rough. It's not very private either. The neighbors can look right into the back yard. I gave 2 stars on accuracy of description because there is NO hot tub (like advertised) and the firewood we had to search for. It was behind a shed covered by a piece of metal with potting soil stacked on it. It looked grown up & "snaky". I loved the creek behind the house and we did try to fish some. The yard and back porch need some TLC. The yard needed weed eating. The pots of plants at the fire pit would have looked nice if they weren't surrounded by tall grass. You can see where the flowers are coming up from the ground and they will be pretty when they begin blooming. The solar lights at night were nice. We drove into Ellijay and loved the little town. The square is a busy place with people and it is dog friendly. It's a round-about with eating places, antique shops, and I loved the vintage record shop, myself. All that being said, we did enjoy our weekend.
