This thoughtfully designed 3-bedroom, 2-bath mountain home blends rustic charm with modern comfort, making it the perfect getaway for girls’ weekends, bachelorettes, couples, or family trips.

Start your day slow with coffee on the front porch, relaxing in Adirondack rockers as you take in the lush greenery and quiet surroundings.

Evenings are made for gathering—head into downtown Ellijay (just 7 miles away) for dining and shopping, then return home to unwind:

- Soak in the peaceful setting around the outdoor fire pit
- Cozy up by the indoor wood-burning fireplace (wood provided seasonally)
- Enjoy game night with air hockey, wall-mounted Connect 4, and board games

Fall is truly magical here. Located in the Apple Capital of Georgia, you’ll be surrounded by vibrant foliage and just minutes from some of the area’s best apple orchards and seasonal experiences.
