About the host
Hosted by Ellie
We live in Atlanta but have lived abroad as well. Ellie is from France originally. We enjoy sharing our home and providing wonderful experiences to our guests.
Why they chose this property
The historic city of Ellijay is a true gem with year round activities (hiking, wineries, apple picking, festivals, etc..) and offers a refreshing change of pace from the stresses of life. Atlanta is just a 1 hour drive away too! We fell in love with Ellijay. We decided to buy in downtown Ellijay because after an awesome day you can avoid the hassle of driving and walk to many shops, cafes, juice shops, restaurants, and more!!
What makes this property unique
Home is unique:
- upscale finishes with charm of an older home.
- quick downtown access, but located on a quiet street
- fully renovated with new electric, new plumbing, new windows, and new HVAC heating/cooling system.
- large welcoming porch and huge flat back yard.
