Top Ellijay Hotel Reviews

The Lens Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"We wanted to totally get away from people for 6 days and just enjoy eachother. We work a lot and you sometimes forget to take TIME to just be. This home was one of the best places we have ever stayed. We did go to Ellijay one day and went to the Roof Restaurant & shops… other than that we stayed put! We shopped for groceries before we arrived and so we were set. Matthew has not forgotten one thing. If you need or want it he has thought of it. We truly loved the layout, beauty and uniqueness of the home. The bed was absolutely the coolest thing and a neat comfortable way to sleep. Every single thing about this house made you feel at home. Looking out the windows seeing the beautiful mountain never got old. And it’s sooooo quiet. Thank you Matthew… if you ever want to sell this home look me up. Cynthia & Faith"

Newly Built Rustic-Cabin HotTub Scenic Stunning Views-close Blue Ridge Ellijay

10/10 Excellent

"We had a fantastic stay at Sunset Peak Cabin! The cabin was exactly as advertised—beautifully built, spotless, and incredibly comfortable. The mountain views were absolutely stunning, especially at sunset, and we spent every evening relaxing on the deck and in the hot tub taking it all in.The location was perfect—peaceful and secluded while still being just a short drive to both Ellijay and Blue Ridge. It made a great home base for exploring waterfalls, hiking, and enjoying everything North Georgia has to offer.The cabin had everything our family needed, and it was clear the owners put a lot of thought into making guests feel welcome. We created some wonderful memories here and wouldn’t hesitate to stay again. If you’re looking for a relaxing mountain getaway with incredible views, this cabin is an excellent choice!"

Private Modern Creekside Cottage Offering A Peaceful & Relaxing Getaway

10/10 Excellent

"This cabin is so cute and cozy! It was clean. It is decorated so cute. The Hot Tub was a definite plus. The view in the back with the creek and sound of the creek water running is awesome. There is a hammock and chairs with a fire pit. I highly recommend this. It's perfect for 2 people and the price is worth every penny!"
