Super clean, nicely furnished and best stocked home we’ve ever stayed at! Brian was easy to reach and very responsive! You know the owners truly care about this home the minute you walk in! Would stay again if we visit Elijay in the future. Very close to historic downtown!

Great Stay!

Beautiful modern cabin with all of the luxuries, fun fire pit, and great outdoor entertainment areas! Super cute property. River was nice too! the only thing I would add is a privacy fence or a long row of trees to divide this getaway from the neighbors:) Overall it was a wonderful stay!

Beautiful Property

Great location in close proximity to downtown Elijay and a short drive to Blue Ridge. All the amenities made our stay something special. Well maintained property that is close to the road but has a huge back yard with the river in the back. Definitely a gem.

Gem iin LIJ

My wife and our two children. (12 and 4) spent 5 days in this stunning house. It is perfectly located 2 minutes from downtown but still feels secluded. The hosts are top notch and were amazing to work with. The house was incredibly comfortable with much attention detail. It is obviouls the hosts are committed to their guests and take great care in providing fantastic amenities. I would highly recommend this property.

Exceptional Ellijay Retreat

We stayed during Fall and this home made our stay perfect. The location is an easy drive to everywhere. The yard is huge and perfect for outdoor activities. We enjoyed fishing also. The hot tub and downstairs sitting area is so nice to have with family.All the beds were comfy. The hosts were easily reached and helped us quickly when needed.The only consideration I would make is if anyone in your party has difficulty with stairs or getting up from a sitting position the living room furniture is super comfortable but tough to get out of and obviously . The hosts really pay attention to detail and we will stay here again.

Ellijay Getaway

Great midsummer getaway for a small town Fourth of July. House is lovely although we wished it was a little closer to the river. Huge backyard great for families. Lots to do in Ellijay - don’t miss Cress Creek Farm, tubing on the Catecay, BJ Reece Cider House, and hiking Blackberry Mountain!

Heaven on a river

Cabin and property was more than expected. The cabin had everything you needed and then some. Location was great as it’s just outside of town but close to everything. The river in the backyard was great to sit in and do some fishing. It was very relaxing. The communication with the owners was next level. Brian was there for any questions I had. I will be telling my friends about this cabin and we will be back. Close to tubing and about 35 minutes away from rafting the Ocoee River.Thank you!!!Joe and Kelie

Family Time

Had a great time with our kids. Was nice to put the screens down and have some quality time together. Ellijay is great tons of outdoor adventures, and good food. House location is stellar and the River in backyard was our happy place. We caught a fish back there wasn’t expecting that. Yard big enough to play sports.

Perfect Getaway!

The property has a HUGE backyard, for activities. We made use of the firepit a couple nights, and one of our friends went fly fishing in the creek! The house was very clean and stocked with anything you needed. We ended up cooking and grilling every night at the house instead of eating out, because it just felt like home! It was in a perfect location, close to everything including one of the most beautiful falls we have ever seen! Make sure you visit Amicalola Falls! Loved everything about our getaway. We will definitely be coming back!

Even better than the pictures!

We stayed at this property for 3 nights and wished we had booked it longer!. We wanted a place we would not all be on top of each other crammed in..we wanted our kids to be entertained while adults visited. This was accomplished quite nicely!..Plenty of places to spread out to eat a meal, and entertain. Decor is wonderful with calming paint color choices and artwork we all quite enjoyed. Indoor and Outdoor spaces flow together on seating and entertainment. Fire pit out by the river was very relaxing. Very accommodating check in and check out process. Very close to shopping and restaurants. Owners have created their own webpage to refer to if you have any questions during your stay. We referred to it many times and found it very helpful. We are already starting to put together our next trip so we can get it booked! Excited to come back to this property!
