What a truly lovely home! We are a family of 6 adults and a dog and visit Blue Ridge at least once a year. This is our favorite home we have stayed in. The house is close to Blue Ridge (about 6-7 minutes) and Ellijay (about 16-17 minutes). It is in a lovely private neighborhood with a paved road all the way to the house. We had 3 cars and there was more than ample parking. The house itself is very clean, beautifully decorated, and very comfortable, especially the beds. The spacious patio with the fireplace and picnic table is screened in, as is the upstairs patio. The kitchen is well equipped and a great size. The family time in the beautiful dining area was a highlight. We spent a lot of time at the house, playing games, watching movies, and enjoying the 3 fireplaces and fire pit. In Blue Ridge there are so many good restaurants (Black Sheep, Chesters, Dogwood, etc) and a lot of them are dog friendly. There is a lot of cute shopping in both B.R. and Ellijay. Also the wineries are fun. We loved the Roo, Living Waters, Kerith House. Of course there are great hiking places and public parks as well. Finally, the owner, Jan is terrific. We did not need a thing but she checked in with us to make sure we were happy. Her communication made us feel like she genuinely wanted our input about our stay. Check in and out was very easy. We will definitely being going back to Buckberry Lodge.
